80kg wasn’t happening that day….
But you know what? I’m still bloody proud of myself.
Back in 2022, I was benching 40kg while training towards my Muay Thai black singlet.
Fast forward to 2026, and I’m regularly working with weights I wouldn’t have imagined lifting back then.
And now I’m having a crack at 80kg!
Did I get the lift? Nope.
Does that take away from everything I’ve achieved along the way? Absolutely not.
There’s been plenty of training, learning, adjusting and trying again between those two versions of me.
And I reckon that’s worth celebrating.
Building a body I’m proud of isn’t just about how it looks. It’s about what I’ve worked hard to make it capable of doing.
80kg, I’m coming for you!
Follow along for strength training, real-life progress and the occasional failed lift.
