So I started going to the gym at the very start of 2021, and ever since then, it has become a passion to me.

I started as very underweight, weighting only 56kg, at 6 foot 5. However, like most people when they are young (I was 16 at the time), I was influenced by social media, and I was convinced I was overweight and wanted to lose more weight. I started off on the cardio machines, as I did not have ANY confidence at all to go to the weight section.

After a while, I decided to join my partner, and start powerlifting ( training for strength on the compound lifts). I did this for almost 2 years, on and off. I achieved a 120kg deadlift, 90kg squat and a 45kg bench press, then I got bored. I realised my strength was not increasing as much as it did at the start, and also that I had put on loooaaaddss of weight, at this point, I was now weighing in at around 76kg, which is a huge increase, and I HATED the way I looked, so it was time for a change.

I started doing more bodybuilding style training, focusing on training for physique, rather than for strength and I have never looked back. I enjoy this training, I feel the best I ever have, I'm happy, confident and I now weigh a healthy 63kg. I am still not evern nearly where I want to be, but I am doing amazing so far, and I love helping others do the same!
