Happy Mother’s Day to the one that raised me to be a moderately good human being, and that never medicated me for being myself 🤣 we love ya mum/nanny ❤️
Lil war on the cross from @hellmachineofficial at our recent support with the next kings of thrash @warbringermusic in Adelaide. Thanks @parmetal_media for the snippet of footage 💪 one more gig in may then it’s time to smash out an album!
Found this old archived story from 48 weeks ago, this was probably 4 weeks before I competed for the first time and 5 months since my first squat. This was 200kg and my absolute max at that weight. I managed a 210kg single at the comp. To now, 225kg x4 with much better form, much better positioning and around an easier day at the races with this being about RPE 7ish. @bigmarr91 and @bennyrags_ with the spot on the first clip gave me all that hazing I needed to push hard as I could from the get go.
Last week I failed 90. Definitely felt shit. But today I got it. Better ever week on the way back up to my pre injury weight. My body’s still kinda broken, but my mind is stronger than ever. Back up to 140kg in 5 weeks & 150-60 by comp or die trying. #pickyourselfupandliftheavy #powerliftinginjuryrehab #pushyourselftothelimit #dontlikemygympostsgetfucked
Reflection. Over the last 7 weeks I wanted to give up, I’ve screamed, I’ve carried on like a pork chop, I’ve pitied myself, I’ve felt like throwing a dumbbell threw the mirror more than once. But every time I’ve had @jes1433 telling me I can do it.and @bigmarr91 for calling me a weak faggot if I quit, I WILL BE BACK, I WILL BE STORNGER, I WILL COMPETE AGAIN AND I WILL SHATTER MY PREVIOUS NUMBERS. +10kg on the road to recovery.
6 weeks ago I herniated my c6-c7 disc. 2 days before I was hitting 140kg bench for reps. This caused a major spasm in my left trap, tricep long head and brachialis. The bulge pinched the nerve tree to my entire left arm leaving my fingers and muscles numb feeling for 5 weeks. Now for the first time since I’ve hit a 60kg bench. It’s small but it’s a massive milestone in my recovery. I’ve gone from barely benching the bar to now back to 60kg. Thanks @jes1433 for listening to my constant worry about being done and never being able to bench again. 150kg is loading.
@hellmachineofficial “burn in hell” live at @7hpsevenhellspromotions metal on the Murray.
Filmed by my wife @jes1433 . What a killer night of underground grass roots metal. The machine is primed and ready to spread its black thrash satanic attack further in to the heart of churches next month in Adelaide at the ed castle with hidden intent and warbringer! #blackthrash #thrashmetal #blackenedthrashmetal
