Flew from Aus to Canada for my client's biggest week of the year and people acted like it was some grand, heroic gesture.

Mate... Kat showed up every day. Did everything to the fu***ng letter. Earned every right to step on that stage. Why the hell wouldn't I be there?

Then I hear some "coaches" make their clients pay for their flights, their trips, their backstage passes.

Absolute robbery. 🤡

If you're in my team, you're not doing this alone. I'll be there in the grind and I'll be there when it's time to step under the lights.

2026 is getting bigger.

More shows.

More travel.

More big dawgs on stage.

And I'll be right there for every damn one of them.

Let's fu***ng go.

Stop waiting for the right moment. It's a fairy tale.

The worst that happens is you f**k it up. Or you bleed.

Worst of all you die - and that's coming anyway.

So don't be that c**t sitting around all day, thumb up your arse, stuck in your own head

Waiting for it is just fear dressed up in a nicer outfit.

I ain't wrong.

Man, November was wild.

There is nothing more exciting than stepping on stage for the first time.

There's a lot you take on, and there's a lot you take with you.

I'd say she did pretty well.

Nail the posing ain't that right

Sunday s**t post. Complete irrelevance.

Sunday s**t post.

Complete irrelevance.

Still buzzing from that weekend.

516 athletes total.

A record to date for largest turn out for natural athletes.

And first time on stage taking home a few medals for it as well.

F*cking.

Buzzin'

This was written for a female client.

A female.

And the “coach” thought this was a normal 8-weeks-out protocol.

This is a coach who has no clue what they are doing.. Which is funny considering she is a female coach.

200mg primo for a woman?
Daily nolva for no reason?
Thyroid meds thrown in like fat burners?
Clen AND T5 “as required” which is code for “I have no idea how this drug works but here you go.”

And the person who wrote this publicly says they “got bad advice in the gym” and want to help others avoid the same thing… while literally handing out one of the dumbest, highest-risk female stacks you’ll see online.

PEDs for women are already a tightrope.
The margin for error is tiny.

If you don’t understand female endocrinology, virilisation risk, thyroid physiology, or drug interactions…

Don’t touch female PED programming.

At all.

Everyone wants "optimal volume."

Most people can't execute the volume they already have.

If your RIR would fail a lie detector.

If your technique changes every rep.

If fatigue hits you before the muscle does.

You're not doing high volume.

Volume only works when the stimulus is consistent.

If you can't repeat a rep, you can't repeat a stimulus. If you can't repeat a stimulus, you can't progress.

Pretty simple.

Strength is a skill.

Hypertrophy is a tissue response.

Strength comes from neural efficiency, coordination, bracing, leverage, bar path, and confidence under load.

You can improve all of that without adding a gram of new muscle.

Hypertrophy doesn't care how much weight is on the bar, it cares about consistent, repeatable stimulus.

Stable ex*****on, controlled RIR, and tension being applied the same way session after session.

A bigger number in your logbook is feedback, not confirmation. It tells you the direction of training not the quality of the reps.

If the technique changes, the ROM shifts, or you contort the lift just to hit a PR, that's not progression.

Tension first.

Numbers are the byproduct, not the goal.

You can get stronger without getting bigger.

You can get bigger without chasing strength PRs.

Understand the difference or keep wondering why your physique isn't matching your ego.

Most escalate PEDs before they’ve fixed the thing that actually limits their progress.

They never review the last off-season.
They have no idea what pace they gained at, what was actually productive, or when training stopped driving growth.

They just assume the answer is “more.”

Muscle doesn’t work like that.

If the training signal is weak, the drugs don’t do anything except increase side-effects.
If the rate of gain is reckless, you’re just collecting bodyfat and calling it “size.”
If the ex*****on isn’t stable, you can’t even judge what’s working.

A productive enhanced off-season doesn’t start with compounds.

It starts with structure:

– clean ex*****on
– stable RIR
– repeatable sessions
– controlled fatigue
– realistic rate of gain
– phases that build on each other
– escalation only after you’ve earned it

Most people don’t need higher doses.
They need to stop lifting like they’re trying to impress the camera and start lifting like they’re trying to build tissue.

You can’t amplify a signal you never created

I decided to become a Personal Trainer as I want to serve the people who need the help the most. We aspire to develop the ability to lead someone to a fitter lifestyle and train in a healthy way that doesn’t force them to crawl up the stairs the day after. Understanding and educating those to have healthier relationships with food rather than starving and learning how to move the body to function and develop better ways to move.

During the training program I intend to train the individual on how to meet their specific goals, EDUCATE the individual on how to live the lifestyle that best suits them and understand the importance of food, and to OVERCOME the mindset of being stuck and hard work to build a lasting change.

And there you have it, now jump on board and be successful!
