Coming in to yesterday I wasn’t sure if I would end up doing this lift. After completing a OA Pentathlon to start the day plus hosting a competition the option to drop out was definitely there.
Happy I needed up lifting, my goal going in was 50 reps, ended up hitting 48. First 3’ maintained the 10rpm needed but the heat and I think overall fatigue kicked in so last 2min dropped down to 9rpm. This is a personal best in 5’ with the 24s so that was big plus this also is the 2nd requirement for the KettlebellWorldLeagueIKO Level 3 certification hitting rank 1 on their table. Now time to rest and reset for a few weeks and then refocus for IKMF SCOTLAND

Stop blaming your body.
Most people don’t fail at mobility because they’re “too tight.” They fail because they’re making one (or more) of these common mistakes.
How many apply to you? 👀

Long post… But worth the read.
Is this me performing a handstand? Maybe… maybe not.
That’s the thing about Instagram and social media—we often only see what people want us to see.
What you’re actually seeing is the beginning of my journey back to where I once was.
There was a time when I practiced handstands 4–5 days a week. Holding a handstand for 30–45 seconds had become the norm, and I was even working toward handstand push-ups.
Then February came, and I had eye surgery. For a while, handstands weren’t an option.
One month turned into two. Two became three. Before I knew it, six months had passed.
Now I’m finally ready to begin again—but this time, I’m starting from the beginning.
Sound familiar?
So many people have experienced something similar. An illness. An injury. A demanding job. A busy family life. Kids. Life simply gets in the way.
As a trainer, I’ve heard these stories countless times, and I understand the fear, the uncertainty, and the hesitation that comes with starting over.
But here’s what I’ve learned: the hardest part is taking that first step.
Progress isn’t about where you used to be—it’s about having the courage to begin again.
Whether your goal is to lose weight, get stronger, run your first 5K, or simply feel healthier, remember that every expert was once a beginner, and every comeback starts with a single step.
We are stronger than we give ourselves credit for.
You can start again.
You can rebuild.
You can succeed.
Let’s get started.

Been a minute since I did a full training day focused on long cycle and at the time feeling good with where I’m at for my Pentathalon so thought do a “fun” LC Ladder. Lifts were 90sec on/90sec off working with 16/17/20/21/24/25/28/29 and last set best set 32kg. Not sure what I was thinking but last set defiddd to go for 2min with the 32s (been a while since I last did this) 10 solid reps. 2min omly 8 more to go….
Shoutout to for fixing me up and helping me get my body realigned to lift and keep my gains coming. If you’re in the Guelph area and need a tune highly recommend reaching out to Dr Kendra.
Happy Weekend and Happy Lifting

Quick training session tonight, but still made it a progressive one with some big gains. Single-Arm Pent Day, heading into my 3rd week. Progress movinf better than I thought , will need to do a full 6’ lift shortly to really see where I am at. Todays lift
Cleans - 6x1’ (1’ rest) 5 w 36kg, last set (video) 40kg all sets max reps. Was unsure how set would go as my 40kg is a cast iron bell not comp so the handle is fatter
Clean & Press - 5x1’ -4 w 26kg, last (video) 28kg - 11 reps all 5 sets
1/2 Snatcg - 5x1’ - 4 w 32kg, last w 36kg (all max reps 18)
Not getting to cocky/over confident as we all know in sport 1’ sets are just a tease, but I’m staying optimistic 😋😋
