I finally had a proper leg day yesterday, and it felt pretty good. I’d been having stomach issues on Wednesday, which meant I couldn’t make it to the gym, and then I came down with malaria too. Eventually,

Lately, I’m starting to learn that simplicity wins most of the time. More doesn’t always translate to better, it eventually just turns into junk. That’s exactly how my last gym session felt. One muscle

Almost everyone in the fitness industry does some variation of a bicep curl. It’s probably the most common exercise out there, partly because it’s simple to set up and easy to execute. Dumbbells, barbells,

What a beautiful day it was today. Even though I was busy for most of it, it still felt deeply fulfilling. From a heartfelt conversation with my manager, to delivering the bulk of my tasks, to capping

After a couple of weeks away, I finally made it back to the gym, but it was not the homecoming I had envisioned. I decided to try another gym I normally use, and now I am seriously considering making it

In my last post, I told you guys I wouldn’t be going to the gym this month, so since then I’ve been doing my best to stay in shape and keep myself conditioned with the concrete dumbbells I made at home.

One of my main prerogatives last year was to get myself a home workout setup. This became increasingly important for those times when I couldn’t make it to the gym, or when I couldn’t afford to pay or

Most of the time when I lift weights, I tend to train to failure, like you see in the video. My understanding has always been that mechanical tension is what causes micro muscle tears, which then repair

One of the staple routines on my leg days is the deficit Bulgarian split squat. It’s one of the most feared and painful, and also one of the most mentally demanding exercises, since it requires full-body

I’m really enjoying where my head is at right now. Sure, things could always be better, but I’m learning to make the most of where I am, and honestly, Saturday reminded me just how content I feel with

Supersets are one of my favorite workout styles to use at the gym. It’s just so effective. A superset involves performing two different exercises back-to-back without rest, usually to improve efficiency

If I ever get asked what my favorite exercise at the gym is, the dumbbell shoulder press is right up there. It’s fun, a pure show of strength, and easy to progressively overload. I had a great session

One of my favourite gym routines is the bent-over row, a classic compound exercise. It has so many benefits, and it was a staple for me during my second year in the gym. Mostly because I couldn’t do a

One thing about the fitness space is that you’ll always come across different opinions, routines, and approaches. It can get overwhelming at times, but it also keeps things interesting and helps fight

Yesterday humbled me. It was leg day. I walked in like I always do, went straight to the squat rack, and loaded up 110kg. Nothing crazy, I’ve done 150kg for reps before. This should’ve been routine. I

One exercise I never skip on upper body day: rope tricep pushdowns. I do use the straight bar sometimes, but I prefer the rope. It gives that extra range of motion at the bottom and a better stretch when

My weekends are usually fun. Football, gym, food, rest. At the gym, one movement I recently started to enjoy and added to my routine is the pec deck. It’s simple, effective, and a great way to really focus

I haven't been consistent with training legs lately, partly because I think my legs are getting too big to fit anything and also life gets in the way. But today? Today I showed up. No excuses, no "I'll

Like in life, sometimes in the gym you can get stuck. Your growth feels stagnant, and it seems like you’re not making any progress at all. But most times, growth isn’t linear. It’s not always loud either.

My legs are huge, particularly my quads. I’ve been asked many times why I train legs so hard, and I usually give different answers for some reason. Today was leg day, and I actually trained with one of
