Some client transformations from 2025

Just the tip of the iceberg really of what’s going on inside the @betterman.project , hard to fit into 20 slides 😅

The great part about this is these are just your every day dudes, some business leaders with very demanding careers, some with families of their own - they just committed to being a better version of themselves.

An absolute pleasure to work alongside these inspiring men and the coaches on the team

We will see many more like these in 2026 🔥

Western European Championships 2024 🇲🇹

3rd place overall 🥉

Squat: 295kg (5kg PR)
Bench: 185kg (2.5kg PR) 🥉
Deadlift: 320kg (2.5kg PR) 🥈

Total: 800kg (10kg PR)

Couldn’t have asked for a better first cap for Ireland.
Managed to go 9/9, 27 white lights on a strict enough platform. PRs on all 3 lifts, and picked up 3 medals along the way. Plus I finally got the 800kg total!

Want to say thanks to the lads @arthx_o for his shot calling and expert handling @conor_odyssey and @ben_kaoscoach for their coaching and assurance on the day.

All of team 🇮🇪 for getting behind me on the day when it mattered and for balling out over the weekend!

@jakubpracz for this sick edit 👌

Want to thank my beautiful girlfriend @sorchaodwyer and my parents for flying out to support me

And to the coaches @abspowerlifting @conor_kiernan562 @abs_nutrition_ for the plan of action, keeping me strong and healthy and for being the guidance I needed to make this dream a reality.

Funnily enough the majority of the work is the stuff in the video and very little squatting 😭

Western Euros 2026 recap 🇮🇪 🇱🇺

Squat: 322.5kg (2kg PR + new u120kg national record) 🥉
Bench: 185kg
Deadlift: 310kg 🥉
Total: 817.5kg 7/9 🥉

Second international cap was eventful!

Came into this meet fairly unpeaked, having hit rep and volume PBs across the board the week before

Managed to bag 3 bronze medals and extend my squat record a few kgs with some to spare

Funnily enough, squat prep was the shakiest I had and turned out the best on the day - squats remain loyal to me 🫡

Bench and deadlift we put down arguably the best prep I’ve had on both in a long time, but simply couldn’t execute for the third attempts on the day, that’s the game.

Not going to make any excuses, the reality was bench wasn’t strong enough and the deadlift was soft.

I need to train to better standards,
simple as.

@conor_kiernan562 had me in great shape for this. We know from this prep, the strength is there, very happy with how the 325 dead moved also. Need to clean these up over the next few weeks before Nationals

Shoutout to the @irishpowerliftingfederation for the opportunity, and a special shout out to @clarice_odyssey @chrislyons___ and @adamloughnane_ for their game day handling and reassurance on the day 🫡

20-30 mins of cardio a few times per week is not going to make you weaker.

The amount of cardio work you need to be doing to interfere with strength performance is so much higher than you think!!

All of these done after the main heavy work for the day which I’m not showing because I’m nonchalant as fuck. Some of which rep or volume PRs and all with more in the tank.

A very unconventional peak for Westerns as @conor_kiernan562 had me pushing the rep work. But feeling the strongest I ever have regardless.

Roll on Luxembourg.

Varied and balanced can co-exist with consistent and simple. Especially if you are bulking.

The last thing you want when trying to sink thousands of calories per day is noise and too much variance and not knowing what you’re going to eat.
