First pic - This morning, lowest weight, I've been in 6-7 years, 88.5kg, post cardio.
Last pic - Start of April 2024, approx 112kg, it ain't pretty for a multitude of reasons.
I've been thinking a lot about the 'Hedonic treadmill' theory lately. It suggests that we often feel a brief boost in happiness after a positive experience, but then return to our baseline satisfaction. Essentially, no matter what we achieve, we struggle to feel content. Instead of enjoying moments of success, we're always focused on what comes next, chasing the next goal or accomplishment.
This first prep has definitely provoked some serious introspection... With just two weeks to go before my first IFBB show, did I fully know what I was getting into? I had a good idea, but experiencing it is totally different.
Could have worked harder? Done more? Absolutely.
However, I've learned a lot about myself and gained valuable lessons for the future.
Am I satisfied with what I've achieved this past year? I’m starting to feel that way... but I know I’m still far from where I want to be.
Every once in a while, try and reflect on where you were one or two years ago, how much you've been able to grow and accomplish.
Only you know what you've really done and gone through in the pursuit of bettering yourself.
Take pride in that.
I want to thank my coach for the ongoing guidance and knowledge provided
I want to thank and the rest of the amazing team from for sponsoring me, more to come on that
I want to thank and for the massive support, sending care packages, and just being an all-around good bloke for nothing in return
And a huge thankyou to for helping this uncoordinated fool build a posing routine from scratch
Always support those who support you
That being said... this is only the beginning.
