Stop Dreaming About Change—Let’s Build It Together.

You’re busy, I get it. Between work, family, friends, and just needing a little downtime, it can feel impossible to get your nutrition and exercise under control. I’ve been there, and I know how overwhelming it can be. But here’s the thing: you don’t have to stay stuck and change is easier than you think.

Check out my pinned stories and see my journey—from an overworked, obese, and unhealthy guy to a lean, high-performance athlete. I’m just like you, but it didn’t happen overnight. It was through a million small, consistent changes and building new habits, I saw real, lasting results. And the best part? The gains haven’t stopped coming.

My coaching is different. This isn’t just about exercise—it’s about treating you as a whole person. I’m here to help you achieve it. In just 12 weeks, I’ll guide you through my proven, four-part method:

A Personalized Plan: Tailored to your life, goals, and commitments.

Nailing Nutrition: Easy, actionable steps to fuel your success.

Smart Exercise: The right amount of training for the time you have.

Building an Invincible Mindset: So fitness and health become second nature.

Don’t fall into the “New Year, New Me” trap that fizzles out by February. Let’s create a plan—and a partnership—that sticks. Ready to commit? Send me a DM, and let’s chat about how I can help. I’m easygoing and a bit silly—no high-pressure sales tactics here. Just real talk about your goals and how we’ll crush them together.

🏋️‍♂️ Simple Sandbag Conditioning
Build strength. Train like a warbeast. Conquer the shifting load.

This is a straightforward workout to develop total-body strength and serious muscle. But start slow and build with intent — these dynamic movements are as beneficial as they are unforgiving.

Complete 3 rounds of the following — do it 1–2 times per week:

🔸 5 Deadlifts – Raise the Titan’s load from the earth, steady and unyielding.
🔸 5 Sit & Drive – Sink into your stance, then surge like a charging warbeast.
🔸 5 Ground to Shoulder – Hoist the burden like the champions of the arena.

Sandbags don’t lie. They shift, pull, and fight back — just like life. That’s why strongman legends train this way. You don’t just lift the weight — you conquer it.

💥 For those in my Fantasy & Fitness group, this earns you a mark toward the mighty Hexmill.

Massive thanks to @yalding_forge for forging my metal D20 — it’s absolutely sick 🤘

🧗‍♂️ Spartan Berlin Recap 🏃

Brutal heat. Beautiful course. Mentally draining… but exactly what I needed.

There I was, deep in a German forest—exhausted, scraped up, soaked in sweat—and oddly, completely clear-headed.

That’s the magic of a #spartanrace. It’s not just about the obstacles; it’s the chance to explore stunning places, reconnect with nature, push through limits, and share it all with an incredible community of like-minded lunatics.

I came into this race wiped out mentally.The one-day trifecta felt like a gamble, especially since I’ve shifted toward functional training and away from long-distance running.

But I got what I needed. Nailed the key obstacles. And walked away with a full reset. And I got to help a brand I love @grenadeofficial 

Huge thanks to @spartangermanyaustria for the experience—definitely planning to return!

🧠 ADHD isn't just about being 'hyper' or 'distracted'.

It's a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulse control, emotional regulation, and executive function.

Living with ADHD can feel like:
🔁 Forgetting what you just walked into a room for
🚨 Your brain firing 10 thoughts at once — and dropping half
⏳ Time slipping through your fingers without warning
🔥 Intense focus on the wrong thing… and not enough on the right one
😣 Feeling like you're always “behind,” even when you're trying your best

ADHD isn’t laziness. It’s not a lack of trying.
It’s a different way of experiencing the world — one that needs support, tools, and understanding, not shame. 💛

Not all PTs are created equal. 😬

Here are 3 signs your coach might be doing more harm than good:

They make you feel uncomfortable — like you’re making a deal with the devil 👹. 

You should feel like the hero of your journey, not the villain.

All they do is count reps and yell "Give it 110%!" without actually listening to your needs or goals 🤷‍♂️. 

You deserve better than a human stopwatch. You can download apps for that.

They make it feel like you're the problem if things aren’t working 😔. 

Newsflash: it's their job to adapt, not blame. Can it be awkward, yeah, but plans need to change because people change and limits and opportunities comes at any point.

💥 You deserve a coach who guides, not gaslights. 

Ready to level up with someone who actually gets it, likes having fun and doesn’t take themselves too seriously?

Your knees aren’t fragile — they’re just undertrained.

Stop fearing movement and start building strength.
This is your reminder that *avoiding* squats isn’t protecting your knees — it’s holding them back.
Train smart. Move well. Appreciate your knees. 🦵💪

I love #spartanrace and I am developing a new love for #spartandeka

It has the same amazing community. The small events held in local gyms feel like ancient times of people travelling for tournaments and feats of strength. You don't get lost in the atmosphere of large events, you are the atmosphere! 

And when there are only a handful of athletes and a handful of judges you need to cheer each other on and make the vibe. And you get to meet people you only have online like @proteinbars_and_ocrs

This is my first #dekaatlas and I was happy with the result. 20:54 official finish time. Was hoping for sub 20 minutes but my heart rate blew up after the farmers carry. Two 45kg dumbbells caught me out 😬

After that it was about trying to control my redline in what were some questionable shoulder to over heads.

Will definitely be back. These are quickly becoming my favourite events. 💪

🏋️ATHX Glasgow Round Up 🏃

I have been training for ATHX for 8 weeks and everything seems to go wrong the days before. My back was dodgy, I had a horrible allergy attack the night before.

But we rallied once you get the event. The sound, the atmosphere gives you super human capabilities I swear. Vicki, as always, was ready to go 🤙

I had some targets for the lift at 100% and a 95% but wanted to be safe. So we needed the Lift portion with a 121kg back squat (aiming for 125kg) and a 46kg strict press (aiming for 48kg) so considering the night I had I will take those.

Running and biking is something I am quite comfortable with so winning out heat was a rush.

And the Metcon was spicier than in practice l. Have done it 3 times before but it was hot on the floor which just made focus more difficult. But those thrusters are feeling easier and easier. 

27th in mixed Overall (so far) >24th in AG
19th in Strength > 14th in AG
36th in Endurance > 36th in AG
27th in Metcon > 26th in AG
