Downsize and health first journey⛑️
Two and a half years ago, I realised I had taken things a bit too far and lost sight of what the lifestyle is actually about.
It was most likely a mixture of ego, some body dysmorphia and a lack of self awareness.
On reflection after being in counseling sessions throughout 2026 for addiction, being one dimensional and having tunnel vision is something I can slip into and my physique development journey definitely had that.
You latch onto an idea, something you can control and you just end up pushing it, without noticing.
I can’t believe that’s me on the left😂 I honestly didn’t realise it at the time.
But I did realise that I was posing a health risk to myself long term and I knew I had to change direction✅
In the past 30 months I’ve had a monumental change in my nutritional approach, I’ve gone to 100mg of TRT per week (prescribe from a doctor), I do a lot of cardiovascular activity each week, mobility work, core work and then my bread and butter strength training sessions.
Now being aware of how I can become one dimensional, I’ve adopted systems, routines, playing the long game and never slipping into obsessive tendencies.
Although I know my current physique can look ‘extreme’, that’s not something I actively pursue and worry about day to day.
I am able to manage my emotions, anxiety levels and overall mental state far better than in the past.
I am a better husband, coach, friend and hopefully, prepared myself to be a better dad one day 👏
Grateful for the journey and I know that at only 32 years old, there’s still many decades ahead to grow, learn and evolve ✅
