I was late to the party...
v
v
10 years ago I was 35 years old and out of shape
v
v
I'd been going to the gym for 10 years but never feeling like I was getting anywhere
v
v
My leisure time was spent doing all of the things that undo a healthy lifestyle
v
v
I was about to get married and my life was taking a new exciting turn
v
v
I felt like I was old so decided to do something meaningful about it
v
v
Within a year I was made redundant from work then 3 years after that my marriage ended
v
v
I could have thrown in the towel then... and just gave up on myself but...
v
v
I did the EXACT opposite
v
v
I remained committed to becoming a better version of myself...
v
v
Every day... just that little bit better
v
v
I committed to helping others do the same
v
v
An entirely new beginning... and all after I thought I was done at 35 years old
v
v
There is no end to this adventure...
v
v
And now ... at 45 years old...
v
v
I'm just getting started
β€
I believe in a world where every human can move towards a lifestyle of freedom πΎ

Is 1% better good enough?
v
v
If you get better at something by just 1% regularly then that's solid consistent progress...
v
v
Do that over a year and you're flying...
v
v
Imagine what that will look like in 10 years
v
v
It all depends on how you look at things
v
v
Like these pistol squats for example
v
v
Previously the most I've ever done with this weight was 5 in one set and 10 sets
v
v
Today I did 6 each set for 10 sets
v
v
That's ONE MORE REP each set...
v
v
That's it... but...
v
v
That's an increase of 20% on my previous best...
v
v
Which is HUGE in the world of lifting stuff
v
v
Sometimes we feel like we're getting nowhere...
v
v
Then BAM...
v
v
There's a shift and off we go again
v
v
