The question being, ‘how do I know there is a God?’ Because, I’ve had the Devil take over my body.

I listen to God but I talk to him, it keeps me sane.

If the question is ‘why do I do such and such with a broken body?’ Because, it’s never been and it will never be carelessness, there isn’t many humans that move as well me, I was just born with a body that could never measure to my mind, so there was bound to be a discrepancy.

If the question is, ‘does the body keep the score?’, probably, one thing I know for sure, I keep every negetive receipt.

I still remember what chair I was sitting on, on which day, where the sun was from setting, when someone said someone other than me is the fittest persons they’ve ever known. Put a scratch on me, the audacity, you know who the f**k I am, note taken! The wound came from the disciple requests, like I weren’t the one who taught yall all I know.

So whether it’s the ankles or knees, hips or back, all I ever had to do is think back, and like Eminem in that bathroom scene throwing up, I instead start punching mirrors. That keep me going.

My secret has always been much like Banner’s, IM ALWAYS BITTER*!

I WANT TO APOLOGISE FOR THE 3rd POST NOW 😭😭

Wanted to put it into perspective.

Had just left the physio this morning and thought to myself, well I’ve just worked up a sweat doing jumping drills and I’m already in sports gear

5x hill runs

126m elevation

The distance was just her 400m

The burn was sensational

Each round too around 2 minutes, after the first 45 seconds you found yourself in the pain cave and the last 30 seconds your legs were cement.

I still heavily reliant on my good side and could feel this how how stiff and sore my right hip was after each round

Though with more concentration, by the end I was able to even out the pressure ever so little

What a fun workout.

Excited for this new chapter of fitness and recovery, truly feels like a rebirth.

For the first time in a long time I am going back into fitness with no pressure, no pressure of 1st place, my life trajectory is no longer tied to how good I can be, my identity is no longer tied to this thing others call fitness, but I once called ‘My life’.

I feel no more pressure to show or remind people who I used to be, what I was or am capable of, I only seek to have fun, get fit and balance my chemical imbalances.

‘A true warrior doesn’t need a sword’ and somehow, that is when a warrior is truly at his scariest.

Blessed to be able.

I’ve never learned well in a classroom unless I was being hands on.

But I have to learn and more importantly want to learn, so this is how I do it, wether you want to call it ‘trial and error’ or how I like to put it, using your own body as a science experiment.

Cycling gives me pain but pain I can handle, for now at least, so it’s my method of experimentation at the moment.

Learning about glucose & fat burn stages as it correlates to different training zones.

How different diets, like intermittent fasting (current diet of choice) affect glucose levels, not only as in the glucose numbers that show on my phone or app, but more importantly, how I feel.

How much carb loading before bed helps during fasted long form workouts if at all (to me personally).

Mood, caffeine, good and bad food, sleep, all these things spike or crash glucose and as a knock on affect, decreases or increases performance.

And with all this information I/you can hopefully create a close to perfect, or perfectly imperfect routine of food, lifestyle and sleep that has you performing close to your best at all times.

Don’t be afraid of technology, it’s mostly tech that’s existed for a very long time but was only used for super important stuff but there’s a lane for it and money for the people who own it that we can now use it for our non important purposes. But it’s tried and tested.

Always learning.

3 years later, more A & E visits than I have fingers, double the 111 calls, as many doctor conversations, physio visits, acupuncture treatments, and A LOT OF REST later, what I had been shouting this whole time was finally taken seriously.

Couple of weeks ago I was diagnosed with a DEGENERATIVE DISK DISEASE/CONDITION. Along with cracked spine coating and nerve damage/pain.

This is a condition linked with ageing, common between 40 & 60 year olds, but a chosen fee unfortunately can get it in their 20/30s.
This condition is mostly pain free but a chosen few have pain associated with it.

I say chosen because I’m choosing to be positive, things don’t happen to you they happen for you.

The condition can be caused by the drying out of the disc over time, daily activities, sports and injuries. It’s something that a lot of us are going to get in older age but can be sped up by a number of things and for me it was from an injury in 2019.

I am now on fixed medication and should be starting physio therapy again soon, this time they know what it is which might yield better results.

I hope so because the pain I’ve been dealing with this whole time, when it’s really bad struggling to tie my laced, affecting my bowels, digestion, weight, mood, another two years of this and I’d let them put plastic in me, just to put it into perspective.

I’m pretty much done with taking part in CrossFit (apart from teaching it 🤞🏾) as it requires too much strain, repetition and pressure on my back. I can just about get away with basketball and even that makes me eye up those codeine tablets like a couple of Nando’s chicken wings.

In all honesty I think wanted to get back to CrossFit for the wrong reasons, I felt like my spot was taken and I lost the one sport in which I could really see a successful future in.

Life happens though, and when it does I do my favourite meditation technique, hand on heart, breath in the emotion you are currently feeling, hold, big sigh out, release. Important thing is, I’m alive and breathing, what more does one need? And I MEAN IT’S ME, SO, WHAT’S NEXT!?

9/10 into 15 round of:
5 strict pull ups
10 push ups
15 body squats
30 double unders

Felt good working out early (yesterday) for once, but damn did it leave me tired for the rest of the day.

I’ll get used to it though.

I don’t have a kid yet but what people who do say about your first born, I understand that through the first love of the game that is… Basketball 🙏🏾.

I cherish these moments, when working out I believe there should be nothing else on your mind other than the task at hand.

Because this isn’t child’s play here
, this is man thanking whatever power through luck or destiny that chose to place him here.

This is a man using the only thing man owns to pay his due, give his thanks and show his gratitude.

This is a man at play, but this is a man risking limb and mind, any day could be his last, but this is the price one pays if one is gifted with a working body.

For those who have able bodies but do not put them to work owe a dept they can never repay.

I’ve got a million scars, I’ve got open wounds and cracked bones, but I can still move, there are some who will never get the chance…

To be able to move your body and chose not to do so is to spit on those that can’t.

To be able to work hard but chose to mere peak into the door full of your potential should be punishable by death.

That’s shameful and I will never bring shame to the name I was raised under.

I need my glory back and I’ve still got a couple of limbs to offer.

Whatever it is that stands in my way, COME GET THEM MO********ER.
