His own weight loss of over 23Kgs has given him the experience and drive to dive head first into the field.

Been a while since I posted here. This summer I have really focused on running. Building up to a 5k again through aerobic capacity program. Why is aerobic capacity so important. I'll discuss this in subsequent posts.
Lifting a heavy front squat today but chickened out. Its about taking away feedback from it and moving on...
Some more Olympic lifting building back a base with Squat cleans and happy with a 200kg Deadlift after some heavy volume.
Hope your week of training went well.
Today I had a mix of Deadlifts, snatches, bench and some 400m repeats on the threadmill.
Happy Tuesday everyone 😁
Some heavy single action today. Don't do high Bar Squat very often. Maybe once or twice a year. 145 here and went on to hit 150 also.
Time to spend a few months refocusing the mind and the body on a new training program, getting abit more consistency into my training and not just picking what I feel like day to day.
What is your focus for the week ahead?

Trust the process.
There will be hard days.
There will be easy days.
There will be days you don't feel like training.
There will be days you think you should do more.
But most importantly of all, throughout all the days....
Trust the process.

Good article from yesterday on the rte website about the history and origins of weightlifting
Barbells, dumbbells and kettlebells: a history of weightlifting Ancient trainees lifted weights for war, religion or aesthetics, but modern enthusiasts do so for sport, health and appearance
Hit a comfortable 160kg today but working on very little sleep.
Moral of today's story, make your sleep a priority, cause I should have been hitting 170+ today!
