    It hasn’t been the greatest year to be a human. 2020, when we put this year in the rearview mirror, it will go down as a year when we were divided more than ever and pulled together by circumstances more than ever. Some have risen to the top while others have sunk to the bottom.…

    Being stronger is not always about the gym There’s no doubt 2020 will change the way we do things for a while. It’s been a real humdinger of a year. Don’t know what humdinger means? Look it up. 😊 And much like September 11, the cat is out of the bag and there’s no going…

    It’s been 28 years since my father died and a lot has happened since then. Like being married for almost 20 years and bringing up two boys. Being a father combined with the recent anniversary of my dad’s death has made me look at my role as a father, my childhood, and the way I…

    Here’s few things you didn’t know about me A few of my colleagues have written about me posts, letting the world know that there is more to them than being a coach. And this got me thinking. I like to talk about myself, look at myself in the mirror and tell the world my inner…

    Combine think big with starting small to reach your goals Ever since I discovered deadlifting and fell in love with the movement, I’ve wanted to deadlift twice my bodyweight. Why? Because there is nothing more challenging the ripping heavy weight from the floor, at least in the gym setting. You’ve probably held lofty goals. Something…

    At a previous gym job, I was getting up at 4.15 am five days a week to open and was sleeping less than 7 hrs. per night. And before you say I should’ve gone to bed earlier; my bedtime was at 9.15 pm. That was plenty early. Anyway, mind your own business. By the time…

    Do you know which ‘teacher’ I’m talking about? When you fall over as a child and bump, bruise, and tear skin from your bone, who do you run too? Your dad? He will tell you to buck it up and rub some dirt on it. No, you run to your mum who will (most likely)…
