So... A good solid fail tonight. 4 attempts, 4 fails. But, at least I showed up. Left training after this decided it'll be better to fight another day than continue stressing myself. Anyone that can tautoko a brother would be greatly accepted!I'll be back!'I failed, but ill be back!'#PirateoftheCoromandel #Lonewarrior by @the_5th_brutha

And so.... Things are hard at the moment. Training around shoulder pain and living with it. Pushing marshmallow weight to try and hang on to whatever strength I have. Not loving it.Doing my head in.But I showed up. That's what counts👊A storm is temporary, it will pass! #The5thbrutha #PIRATES #Warriorborn by @the_5th_brutha

And so... been practicing Low bar squatting and I'm happy to say it's starting to feel better each session. Changing up my squat technique helps my knees immensely. My confidence is up, and I'm really thinking about solid numbers come November. Thank you, my neph @takarangi.kerepeti for the spots you know me well! That's us onwards🤘'I'll never be the biggest or the strongest, but I can be the baddest' LFG❤️‍🔥#LowBarSquats #PirateoftheCoromandel #Rednwhitedynamite #stillhereputtinginthemahi #Bodyworksgym #CageBarbell by @the_5th_brutha

After 10 weeks it's time to visit my gp. Been to physio, osteo but not quite getting to where I want to be (No disrespect to these professions). It's not easy for me as this is my therapy and i live this! So, until I'm fully functional I'm dropping away from competing and the powerlifting world in all forms. I'm not gonna go to comps because I wanna compete not watch that's just me. For everyone with upcoming comps I wish all Strength to you. In time I'll be back. Until then good people. Stay strong, be kind and be excellent!!Te Awheroa. by @the_5th_brutha
