All the best times in this last year have all been around other people. I know this next year will be even better once again and filled with even more memories around those I value.

Roughly 8 weeks out last year of the NSW state show. Although no where near stage ready, I did love this look.

Plans set in motion for next years shows, just need to make the most of the remainder of this offseason and see what kind of physique we can present next year 🤟🏼

Things that are improving my back…

* Training hard and hitting failure.
Growth happens when you push past what’s comfortable for you. Training to or at least near failure forces the muscle to grow.

* Full range of motion.
Using full range of motion makes sure you’re getting maximum muscle activation and growth out of your movements. Half reps usually equal half the results. Control, stretch, contract properly!

* Getting good at the basics.
The basics build work, there’s a reason that the biggest people in the gym are doing them. Mastery of the fundamentals always pays off.

Maybe send this to a friend who needs a hand training their back 🤷🏼‍♂️
