Show to Show Improvements for and these shots do absolutely no justice.

1 day out in respective show dates in both shots.

👈🏻 July, 2024: 90.0kg, 400g Carbohydrate Load and spilled.
👉🏻 September, 2025: 88.0kg (lowest weight), 1200g/ 900g Carbohydrate Load (2100g Total) and room to push.

We’re about to level up as we engage our first Off Season together.

Plenty more codes to crack.

Game on 🫶🏻

And the Amateur Olympia, Milan is ready to launch.

And I couldn’t be more grateful to be here with and his lovely partner .loreena.

This marks our third show for the season - following both Melbourne and Adelaide Regional Shows back on home soil in Australia.

One of the biggest issues Simon had previously had, was around Peaking Protocols due to a ridiculous tendency to hold water - and leading into our first Peak Week, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous for how it’d play out.

But here we are - at our third show, proving that not even violent food poisoning (he got food poisoning during travel) into 2000g of Carbohydrates from chocolate filled croissants can fill us up or spill us.

There’s no doubt we have room to improve, and that we will. But if I’m honest, today’s result (however it goes) will mean very little in the scheme of what’s to come.

I’m so incredibly proud of his conduction, his journey and the suck he’s needed to embrace. The highs, the lows and the unknowns of the 14 weeks we’ve had together would test anyone’s resilience.

And the silverware we’ve taken home this season, pales in comparison to the experience and data we have for our next leg.

Keen to keep doing business with you man - not just as your coach, but as your mate and brother.

It’s working with individuals like you, who remind me how lucky I am to do what I do.

Let’s end this with a bang - and from there, it’s time to really get to work on tapping the potential within.

Milan x Verona dump before the Amateur Olympia spam commences 🤘🏻

Another season under the belt for long term client 🤝

We hit the ground running with an IFBB Debut in the Fit Model category, only to make a last minute dash for ICN Ballarat last Sunday.

And just like that, we pulled a gold medal - for the one show which I couldn’t attend of all time of our time together 😅

It’s always a pleasure coaching Jess - despite the ups and downs, the obstacles and the challenges.

One thing I will continue to remind her of is that she will and always does overcome anything she is confronted with.

Finally, we seem to have paved some run way to really double down on an improvement season and get some juice in these glutes.

I’m looking forward to what’s to come.

Your gratitude is what makes it all worth it 🫶🏻

This past weekend, made his long awaited Stage Debut at 🤝

Walking away with a couple of 🥈 and a huge degree of pride and confidence.

Where do I begin.

I’ve been lucky enough to work with Zak some the inception of The Coaching Collective on the back end of 2022.

This journey was not necessary about the stage, but instead his development as an individual.

I’ve been alongside Zak through the highs and lows of life. I’ve seen him at his best, and at his worst.

But his determination to do more, be more and improve is what stands out most.

He is hungry.

And the outcome of this process, is simply a reflection of his best qualities.

We aren’t yet done, as we’ve made the decision to head up to Ballarat this weekend for another showing with ICN Victoria.

It’s been a pleasure man.

And life is only warming up.

On Monday evening, I re-visited journalling after a few weeks layoff and have the opportunity to reflect on the year that’s been without much a thought otherwise in my mind.

Being “present” is something many of us struggle with - including myself, and as a matter of fact if I had a single concept I’d like to embrace across the remainder of 2025 this would be it.

This year has brought the highest of highs and the lowest of lows for not only me, but my family.

But with that, have come lessons.

We can live for tomorrow, we can live for a better future.

But the reality is that in many cases, we already have all we need.

And anything additional, is nothing more than a mere bonus.

That raises the question - why do we want to rush the journey?

We must emphasise the importance of enjoying and embracing the journey, alongside those most important to us.

Because if we skip this fine details - which many do, what’s the point?

Because this is where the memories are made. Right now is when we have the opportunity to enjoy.

Ask yourself this one question.

If your time was up tomorrow, would you be satisfied with how you’ve lead your life?

If the answer is no, then what are you doing?

And remember - this is not about your accolades.

This is what you’ve meant to those closest to you, and the experiences you’re able to cherish.

The flow state.

The destination is likely, not as sweet as it seems.

Another great show day down at on the weekend with some exceptional results.

But we’ll start with 🤘🏻

Mathew and I started working together a little over 20 weeks ago. He’d competed earlier in the year, but was hungry for not only more but a more structured process.

So the goal was simple.

Improve our outcome.

And that we did - alongside a wealth of knowledge and experience to go with it.

🥇 Over 30’s Men’s Physique.
🥉 Open Men’s Physique.

I couldn’t be happier with not only what we were able to present, but the conduction of the process in its entirety.

It’s a pleasure to have been a part of your journey mate, and to see you walk away with so much more than some silverware.

I’m excited for what’s to come, and it’s been a pleasure.

PED’s are incredibly common in this space.

What’s less common, are individuals who reap the rewards of said PED’s.

We recognise that it isn’t magic - and that’s well understood for most.

But if “steroids work”, then why do some progress far better than others?

Sure, genetics play a role.

Magnitude of use plays a role.

But in my experience, where I see strides made in Athletes is when the approach shifts.

PED’s are no longer the catalyst of progress, or the main component of discussion.

Instead, it’s Nutrition, Training and Recovery.

Periodic talk ceases, and longevity moves to the forefront of the conversation.

Expectations in the short term dwindle, and a long term mentality is adopted.

PED’s are magic, but they do work.

But they only work if you do.

And those who put the work first with longevity in mind, are those who capably propel themselves forward.
