When you’re lucky enough to be mates with an Australian Paralympian who comes down to support the crew… and gives a new lift a crack 💪
Will we see him compete one day? 👀
It’s been a crazy week, but I’m hoping to get more uploads out for everyone soon!

A quiet room. A loaded bar. A hundred different stories unfolding at once.
Different bodies. Different goals. Different paths.
Same signal underneath it all.
Not chasing noise.
Not performing for approval.
Not trying to become someone else.
Just people, doing the work that matters to them.
Rep by rep… finding rhythm.
Set by set… finding themselves.
This is what it looks like when strength becomes self-expression.
When training stops being something you endure… and becomes something you experience.
Strength is the goal. Flow is the how.
Strong is fun

Here’s my POV after a few decades as both coach and athlete: Athletes don’t pay for services. They pay for outcomes.
They’re not buying sets and reps.
They’re not buying a spreadsheet.
They’re definitely not buying my time.
They’re buying:
• A bigger total.
• A calmer mind under the bar.
• A body that holds together when the stakes rise.
• The ability to trust themselves on the platform.
Most coaches sell activity.
Great coaches sell adaptation.
And the uncomfortable truth?
If your coaching isn’t producing measurable progress, resilience, autonomy, and performance under pressure… it’s entertainment.
Around here, the goal isn’t to keep you dependent - it’s to make you dangerous without me.
Stronger. Calmer. More self-directed.
Because results aren’t just kilos on the bar.
They’re identity shifts.
And identity shifts compound.

Thanks to a bit of help and some kind words from a couple of mates. A hefty chunk of generosity from an old acquaintance. Some shiny new equipment, compliments of the program. And an insane dream with a friend that's feeling less crazy by the day, we now have WA Team Training sessions up and running.
You free on a Saturday morning? You wanna learn how to bench press good and learn to do other stuff good too? You wanna compete? You just wanna get stronger? You need to get out of the house and just wanna hang out and chat shit on the weekend? You wanna see me inevitably do something stupid so you can learn from my mistakes without having to make them?
Come hang out.
