Honestly just received this and I cannot wipe the smile off my face! 
What an experience! 
What a week! 
I cannot wait to be back on that stage bigger and better! 
Competing was the hardest, most draining, challenging thing I have done to date but also the most rewarding, life changing experience that has now become a huge part of my life! 
I met my role models, I made friends with like minded people, I had the most supportive, knowledgeable, welcoming comp prep team that made me realise where I am meant to be and what I’m meant to be doing in life. 
I pushed myself to limits I didn’t think were possible.
Competing for WBFF has become a part of my life that I will be doing for many years to come and to think this was my first time on stage! 
The journey to the top has only just started! 💯🙈

AM → PM. THE POWER OF CARBS, WATER + SALT 🍚💧🧂 

Little sneak peak….
Yesterday was Day 1 of loading for Lional and the response from our AM → PM check-ins speaks for itself.

My first male bodybuilder and he definitely put me on the spot when he came to me with 12 weeks to get him stage ready after having no coach 😂 but I’m bloody stoked with what we’ve achieved.

After depletion, muscle glycogen is reduced and the physique appears flatter. As we increase carbohydrates, glycogen is replenished within the muscle helping to increase intracellular volume and bring back that fuller look.

Sodium and water stay strategically controlled with each meal as sodium is essential for fluid balance, glucose absorption and muscle contraction, while adequate water is required for effective glycogen storage.

Peak week is all about the AM + PM check-ins and updating his meal plan on the run. I’m assessing fullness, vascularity, separation, bodyweight, digestion and whether he’s continuing to tighten up or beginning to spill, then adjusting carbohydrates, sodium and water according to his response.
Peak week isn’t a set formula. It’s physiology + constant feedback + knowing when to push and when to pull back.

12 weeks down and now we’re almost there. Make sure you’re following along this weekend as we make the trip to Townsville to get Lional on stage 🔥 by @shaepemberton

Bringing in the last year of my 20s couldn’t have been any better… 
If I have to turn 30 next year and officially become old, then I was at least going to bring in 29 the right way🏂❄️ 
Mountains, snow, adventures and spontaneous decisions in my favourite place 🥰
Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes! They never go unnoticed…

Another excuse for a Bali dump… but also a little reminder that I’m human too 😂🌴

99% of my life is spent in a pretty solid routine. I train, I track, I hit my steps, I eat my meals and these days I don’t really drink at all.

But for the next few months while I’m travelling and holidaying, coach and I have decided I’m going to spend some time in more of a “lifestyle” phase… something I genuinely haven’t done in over 3 years.

That doesn’t mean throwing everything out the window. I’ll still be tracking probably 80% of the time, hitting my protein, training hard and keeping my body composition in check.

It just means allowing myself the meal out without stressing about it. Having a drink here and there if I want one. Trying the food, Saying yes to experiences and actually letting myself enjoy this little season of life without feeling like every single decision has to revolve around bodybuilding.
Because I love this sport, but I also want to live a life outside of it too.

Come October though… the switch starts getting flicked back on 👀 We’re setting our eyes back on the stage, so training intensity stays high, body comp stays in check and we make sure that when it’s time to go again… we’re ready.

For now though, a little more balance, a little more living and apparently a lot more holiday photo dumps 😂🤍

P.S. Swipe to the end to see the poor photo Mum copped when I came to the devastating realisation that I am now officially too old to “party hard” 😂💀 by @shaepemberton

Because it deserves a post of its own..
More than just a tattoo. 🤍

Two names belonging to the people who helped shape me into who I am and my baby dog.. the little soul who reminds me that no matter the circumstances, there’s always a reason to be happy. The dreamcatcher ties it all together with the love, memories, protection and the pieces of them I’ll carry with me wherever I go.

A completely random conversation with my Gojek driver in Bali turned into planning this tattoo, getting it done, having him take me there and back to the hotel all within four hours. He got me water and food and sat with me the entire time. 

Sometimes the most spontaneous moments end up meaning the most. 💙 taken in The Sky Ink Bali by @shaepemberton

Dump 1 - Formalities and Food because I can’t put this week into one.

The last week was honestly the most insane week of my life.
I learnt, I made friends, I worked, I chilled, I ate good food and I soaked it all in.

Working for a company such as Elite Supps who genuinely care about you, about your successes, your wins and losses and wants to watch you level up is something so rare. I am so genuinely grateful to be in a position where I can work alongside my online coaching in an industry where I can continue to educate everyone I speak to on all things health and nutrition.

Being passionate about what you do makes work a dream.. 
Honestly though, what is this life I am creating…
