It’s not that deep
The other morning I was cleaning out a cupboard. I found an old phone. Cracked screen. Dead battery. I tried to remember what was even on it. Photos. Messages. Stuff that felt important at the time. Now? Useless. Forgotten. Straight in the bin. And it hit me. In 200 years from now, a whole new…
Gucci Bag
Someone said to me today, “I want to grow my glutes, but I don’t want to eat more.” We were mid-conversation, talking training, progress, all the usual stuff. So I chuckled and said, “That’s like me handing you 50 dollars and telling you to go buy a Gucci bag.” She didn’t even pause. She looked…

She’d smash the Christmas sweets at night,…
You’ve heard me talk about this
You’ve probably heard me mention Two Set Strength a few times now. It’s the exact training plan I built after getting fed up with long, high-volume sessions that drained me more than they built me. Two hard sets per exercise. No junk volume. No filler. Just efficient, structured lifting that actually moves the needle. You’ll train 3-5…
