As a younger bodybuilder, I often heard people say, "You’re obsessed; nothing matters to you but the gym, training, bodybuilding, etc." In the past, I didn’t know how to respond. I would often go into defensive mode, trying to explain myself or argue. The truth is, if we do

Saturday workout done, but it didn’t go 100% as planned. I’m working on bringing my belt-less RDLs to a decent weight with good form. While I managed to add 5kg and match last week’s reps, the form and connection weren’t there. I didn’t feel it in my hamstrings like I did

Looking good in the gym is one thing; looking good on stage, where every flaw is exposed, is an entirely different ballgame. In the gym, you’re ‘judged’ by other gym bros based on what you have. ‘Bro, you have great arms.’ ‘Man, you look big.’ ‘Bro, you kill it with those

The bias in coaching is something I came across quite often over the last few years. Some coaches emphasize the area they are good and qualified at, to the point where the client's personal goals become secondary or are completely ignored. A few years back, I signed five new

Two bodybuilding legends, two different eras and training methods. One common denominator to their success: all-out, balls-to-the-wall intensity, focus, and effort. When studying champions, it’s not just about their training methods. For me, it was more about understanding

Is there anything more frustrating than opening the fridge on a Monday morning, only to find it completely eggless? 🥴 Happy, high protein Monday everyone.💪

Arguing over the best diet is like trying to agree on the perfect shoe size for everyone,- there’s no one-size-fits-all. Before you follow any cult and their gurus, remember that you’re an individual with unique needs, goals, genetics, body type, and food preferences. We’re

Ever feel like your body is trying to tell you something, but you just won’t listen? What worked for a man in his prime may not work as well as we get a little older. If you’re in your 20s or 30s, this post is probably not for you. You won’t listen to it anyway,- I know I

Throwback Thursday. Casual posing between sets, with my teenage son in the background. Time flies fast, but some things don’t change much,- we're still hitting the gym 10 years later.

Adam just hit a magic 100kg bench after only two months of training with me. It might not seem spectacular to some, but for 40-year-old Adam, who was stuck at 70kg for ages, it’s a nice achievement. So, what changed? • He changed gyms, left the commercial Pure Gym, and hired

This is just my observation, and maybe a personal bias, but I can't unsee what I've seen. If you’re “bulking” (and God knows how much I dislike that word) to get massive, and maybe even compete one day, make sure you don’t permanently blow out your waist in the process. I’ve

It all began with training, and it will all end when the training stops. “Bulking, cutting, blasting, bridging. Test, deca, growth, insa.” “The most optimal diet. Surplus, deficit. The next cycle, how much test or tren. The next supplement stack, pre-workouts, peptides,

The best thing about training for over 30 years is that I don’t give a fuck anymore. I don’t have to conform to what others think is the most optimal way to train— the best method, system, split, rep range, or number of sets. Being in a position where there’s nothing to prove
