I support and guide target-driven, goal orientated men, loose between 5-10kg of fat in 12 weeks and

03/09/2025

….especially when you’re in Singapore.

❄️ 470km. Across the Arctic Circle. ❄️

That’s what I’ve signed myself up for in five months’ time.

• Temperatures dropping to -40°
• Winds up to 50mph
• Snowshoes, ice spikes, and cross-country skis (which, by the way, I’ve never even used before—and the first time I’ll clip them on will be during the race itself)
• All while dragging my supplies, self-sufficient, across frozen wilderness.

Oh, and I’m doing this with an Achilles injury I’ve been carrying for the past year.

Why? Because sometimes the point isn’t whether the conditions are perfect. It’s about proving to yourself you can rise above them.

My training from now until the start line won’t be about fancy equipment or the perfect environment. It’ll be about:
• Building an engine that doesn’t quit.
• Conditioning my body to move forward when everything hurts.
• Learning to suffer well, not avoid suffering.
• Strengthening the mind just as much as the body.

This isn’t about comfort. It’s about showing up broken and finishing stronger.

Follow my journey as I prepare for the world’s toughest race—470km across the Arctic.

Let’s see how far grit, stubbornness, and a little madness can take me.

Ka freezing powww 👊🏻

Let’s talk real fat loss mistakes most blokes make (and probably don’t realise 👀):

❌ Guessing calories
You think you’re “not eating that much” but somehow the belly’s still hanging on. Stop eyeballing – track properly for a few weeks. Awareness changes everything.

❌ Snacks don’t count, right?
You didn’t log the kids’ leftovers, a few spoonfuls of rice, or that sneaky cheese cube while cooking. Spoiler: your body counts everything. So should you.

❌ Booze
“I only drink on weekends” – yeah, but you also “only” sink 8 beers and smash a kebab. Alcohol doesn’t just add cals – it wrecks sleep and decision-making too.

❌ The missus/helper is sabotaging (accidentally)
Portions doubled, oils poured like it’s a MasterChef audition, and love served through carbs. Solution? Talk. Educate. Be part of the prep.

❌ Weekend = write-off
You’re dialled in Mon–Fri, then blow it all Sat/Sun. Fat loss isn’t about perfection, but 2 steps forward, 3 steps back doesn’t work.

✅ Fix it with: – Track for 7–14 days, even roughly
– Measure oil and portion sizes (don’t trust the eyes)
– Say no to leftovers – bin or pack them
– Cut down booze or have a booze plan
– Loop in the fam/helper – share your goals
– Plan the weekend before it kicks off

🧠 Did you know “What should I eat before a workout?” is the most asked fitness question for men right now?

Here’s the simple answer: 👉 Eat 2–3 hours before your session
👉 Prioritise carbs + protein
👉 Keep it light if you're short on time

💡 Real-life pre-workout options:

Wholegrain toast + a tap of jam + banana 🍌

Greek yogurt + berries 🫐

Small smoothie if you’re rushing

Why it matters?
➡️ Too little = no energy
➡️ Too much = nausea & regret 😵‍💫

Fuel smart, train hard.
Don’t just guess—test what works for your body.

Not normally one to suck d!ck in public...or privately for that matter, but...

I feel I want to say a cheerio to my man .

He's been a tremendous character to have at UFIT, and it's sad we've got to say good bye.

I won't go too deep on here, but I just wanna say, all the best to you and the fam. You're gonna smash it mate, and we can't wait to see Barry's, erm-er, I mean 'Harry's' take off 🚀.

As the French say...La BOSH!! 👊🏻

(Wanted add a pic of your overhead squat, but funnily enough, I couldn't find one 🤣).

Annnnd that's a wrap 💥
June’s Men's Retreat — done, dusted, and absolutely smashed.

What. A. Weekend.
The lads were pushed hard — two-a-days, heat, challenges, and not a single dropout. Proud doesn’t even cut it.

I had it in my head this would be a classic ‘train hard, play harder’ weekend. But plot twist… no one fancied a drink. Not one.

And honestly? That hit different. A lads weekend with no hangovers, no chaos — just clean eating, savage sessions, downtime by the pool, good convo, and solid graft.

If you know, you know… but you really have to experience it to get it.

It’s that rare blend of:
💪 Hard training
🍲 Proper eating
📈 Personal growth
😴 Guilt-free naps
🌞 Vitamin D
🧠 Mental clarity
= Reset, recharged and ready to level up.

September dates are dropping soon — 3 chances to join us, no excuses this time.

If this sounds like something you need right now, drop me a DM and let’s get you booked in.

Let’s go, gents.
Ka powwwww 👊🏻

❄️ I’m heading back to the Arctic… but this time, I’m doubling down ❄️

Yep, I’ve done 230km across the Arctic Circle before — frozen beard, busted shins, the works. But this time?
468km. Self-sufficient. Self-navigated. Dragging my own damn sled.

And yes, I know what you’re thinking…

"Why the fudge would you do that, Snowy?"

Here’s why:

1. It sounds ridiculously hard (and I like that)

2. I’m doing this one for a cause bigger than myself (more on that soon)

3. I’ve been craving a real test — something to push my limits

4. HYROX is cool, but let’s be honest… it’s getting a bit “same-same”

5. And yeah, I’m a little unhinged — but in a lovable way 🤪

This race — Arctic — is known as 'the world’s toughest race'.
Only 5 people have ever finished it.
This year’s fastest took 8 days.

⛏ Temps drop to -40°C
🎿 I’ll need snow shoes, ice spikes and cross-country skis (which I’ve never touched)
🛷 I’ll haul my own supplies like a frosty donkey.

How do you train for this?
Daffy duck knows 🤷🏻‍♂️

But it'll get done. Stay tuned folks, this is gunna be a good'n

Ka powwww 👊🏻

Flaming Galah! Get that man a cold one 🍻

Check out Brucey's progress so far. 55 and still smashing it.

This guy's got the grit of trooper! He just knuckles right down and cracks straight on. Even before his rest period is over, he's on his feet ready to go. It's really quite amazing to watch.

He's dropped over 7kgs of body fat so far, and he ain't stopping. He's not even had to nuts in the gym or, be a bore-off outside the gym.

Obvs, he's more conscious about what he's chucking in, but he's keeping active daily, gyming x3 PW, and has cut back (not out!) on the alcohol.

See what's achievable fellas? 👀

If you're stuck in rut and in need of a bit of 'nudge', then drop a DM, and we can have a chat about how I can help. 😉

Ka powwww 👊🏻

Flew to Taiwan 🇹🇼. Snagged another HYROX flag.

Wasn’t my best showing—trained in the morning, didn’t check the course, ran an extra lap, and now the Achilles is f**ked again. Nice one, Snowy.

Truth is… I’m a bit over it right now. It’s normal, lads—train hard for ages, and eventually you hit a wall. Burnout. Boredom. Same sh*t, different day.

Time to step back, heal up, and put some focus into BJJ for a bit. Let the fire come back on its own.

Anyone else stuck in a rut? Let’s hear it.

Feeling nervous about your first HYROX? Totally normal. But come race day, nerves take a backseat — it's go time.

Here’s the deal:

- Everyone’s running their own race.
- You’re racing the clock, not the dude next to you.
- Don’t burn out trying to chase faster runners — you’ve no idea where they are in their race.

Pro tip: Wear two watches — one for overall time, one cheap one to track your laps. You’ll thank me when the brain fog hits.

Now go out there and own it. You’ll have a blast...
Right up until the Burpee Broad Jumps...
Then the walking lunges...
And oh yeah — the sweet, sweet finale: 100 wall balls.

Welcome to the grind.
KA-POWWW. Let’s gooo!
