Weekly check-ins are one of your most valuable tools.

They keep you accountable, help us track progress, and allow us to troubleshoot issues before they become bigger problems.

Consistency matters.

Don’t skip the data that helps move you forward.

Sunday cardio.

Just me & Lillo

Very productive morning session after 5 days completely off.

Pendulum Power Squat Machine:
16plates x 6
This machine has a very interesting strength profile:

TOP LOAD
⬇️ More resistance descending
⬆️ Less resistance ascending

BOTTOM LOAD
⬇️ Less resistance descending
⬆️ More resistance ascending

SPLIT LOAD
↕️ More balanced resistance throughout the ROM

BB RDL: 405 x 6

Strength is getting back exactly where I need it to be.

There’s plenty of misinformation online, so choose your role models and guidance wisely.

Your long-term health is always worth more than a shortcut.

👉🏼 2 movement patterns I will always carry in my programming, for myself and for my clients:

The SQUAT & The HINGE.

The modality/variation may change based on equipment availability, individual needs & goals, personal preference… but the movement pattern stays 👊🏼.

Shown in the video:
Squat warm up set: 4p x 5
Top set Smith Machine squat: 6p x 8
Top set DBs RDL: 60kg x 12

💡Tech note: when using a smith machine with angled rails, the direction you face matters. Facing one direction vs. the other, changes the bar path relative to your body.

A) Bar moves backwards as you descend: more hip contribution.
B) Bar moves forward as you descend: more knee flexion (potentially resembling some of the mechanics of a Hack Squat).

MASTER the pattern —> Choose the right TOOL —> PROGRESS over time.

Forza 💪🏼

In my element 🏎️

The Consultant 🤓

Which one you pick?

Warner Bros Studios London 🎬

Acting like it was 2am… when in reality it was 10pm and I was ready for 💤 😅

Pecking Duck The Duck and Rice… delicious 🤤

A classic shot…

I’m a sucker for great architecture and the The London EDITION is an absolute 10/10.

Let me introduce you to the CUCAMELON… an hybrid between a cucumber and a watermelon duh… 😂 never had it before and still trying to figure out if it’s a yes or no…

The one and only London National History Museum 👌🏼

This wasn’t luck.
It was months of relentless commitment, consistent communication, complete adherence to the plan, and trust in the process.

After three shows this season:

🥉 1st Show
🥈 2nd Show
🥇 3rd Show

Doc Audrey finished the season by cleaning up:

🏆 1st Place Masters 35+
🏆 1st Place Open Bikini
🏆 Overall Champion
🏆 2 PRO CARDS

Results like these don’t happen by accident.

No shortcuts.
No excuses.
Just commitment.

Audrey, I couldn’t be prouder of what you’ve accomplished.
You earned every single trophy (swords included lol), every title, and every pro card.
Watching you grow, not only as an athlete, but as a person, has been incredibly rewarding.

This is exactly why I always say:

ELITE is Earned. NOT Given.

This journey is proof that when coach and athlete work as one team, incredible things can happen.

This is just a BTS glimpse... the official stage photos are coming soon. 👀
