Three reasons why you'll follow me:
- my lifting
- my coaching
- my terrible sense of humor

Life is fragile. You don’t really appreciate your life until you realise how short it can be.
Mum had been battling lung cancer for a while now. She was a proud and strong woman who lived her life how she wanted. No chemo, just raw dogged the s**t outta it until the end. But even towards the end, she was still as independent as she could and refused help from others.
Stress life. Life is short. Appreciate what you have.

LESGOOO! Congrats to on his performance for his National Qualifiers .tribe

We had a bit of a hiccup on the third squat. George strained what seems to be his quad/rec fem but we’ll wait to see what the actual diagnosis is. With that, we had to change how we approached both lifts. Instead of calling it, we had to play it smart to give him the best chance at first qualifying for nationals but also not making the injury any worse to give him the best prep time for it too.
For the bench, slightly change the set up so there’s not as much hip extension. We gave up a bit of range and leg drive but focused on stability and wedging.
For the deadlift, no wedge or dynamic start. The focus was on hinging to take as much of the quad out as possible.
Overall finishing 1st with a 8/9 and going 270/187.5/300 totalling 757.5kg. 5kg less than his best and a lot less than initially planned but that’s just how it is.
Super proud of your composure today George! Leading from the front 💪🏻
I’ve seen 2 videos in a row and that perked my interest in talking about it. Scoop method with the hip thrust works. Scoop method with the squat might not be the best glute builder.
Sore knees and no injury? You just need some exposure. Soreness doesn’t always mean you’re injured and you have to take it easy on leg days. Try these out in your next session!
You shouldn’t be mad fun of for trying to better yourself. There is a difference between banter and bullying.
But if you’ve found a good circle, count yourself blessed 🫶🏻
A coach that agrees with everything you do isn’t coaching you.
Because the goal isn’t comfort, it’s progress.
The people that get strongest are usually the ones willing to be coached the hardest.
The bench press isn’t a straight up and down bar path, unless you’re archmaxxing with a j*p grip and the range of motion of my p..encil 🫶🏻
For most people, the bench press naturally works diagonally. The elbows tuck slightly on the way down, then flare back up during the press to ensure that everything stays stacked.
If you were to look at the way it comes up, it should be mirror how it comes down.
Having the bar go straight means you’re technically pushing it forward, which means you’re fighting physics and your own structure.
Client spotlight to for hitting 100kg after her 12 week block! A weight she hasn’t touched in 2 years. The main differences was how she set up, her behaviour when squatting and something I didn’t mention in the video, not pushing her knees out as hard and being more stacked.
