I look at dogs and cats and envy how present they are, they don’t care about time, purpose or clarity in life. They just care that they can eat, drink, sleep, procreate and go to the toilet… They seem to be pretty damn happy most the time.

Hey There! Thank you for taking the time out to read this blog. You are probably here because you are in the middle of a plateau, have had a plateau in the past or you are just interested in avoiding a plateau in the future! I can tell you I have had none of my committ...

I am out the back of the warm up room at the ProRawXI Powerlifting competition surrounded by cage fencing. There is a feeling of focus, passion and energy in the air. Chalk dust surrounds us, bags of equipment lay peeled open with lifting gear spilling out of them as c...

Pretty frequently I get told something that really does bug me, it happened again recently. "You are so lucky to be doing something you love." Imagine quitting your job right now to start from rock bottom and building a career from scratch. Well thats exactly what I di...

Gemma walked into the gym a few weeks ago and told me about how she almost died the night before. She was driving up a hill when all of a sudden there was someone coming over the ridge on the opposite side of the road heading straight for her. She swerved onto the othe...

ProRawX - As a few of you reading this will know, I competed in ProRawX Powerlifting Competition last weekend at Arnold's. This was my first crack in an open age group at an invite only comp with elite only lifters. Whilst it was a whirlwind of a weekend with lots to t...

It is nice to be sitting here listening to some 'Hans Zimmer' with a couple of hours to spare that allows me to let go of my mind. I haven't blogged in weeks, I have never wanted my blogging to be forced otherwise the content is less creative and weak.
