Rising Phoenix Kung Fu

10/09/2025

Having given up on the full-time strongman training (at least for now) and taking it a little easier in the gym has given me lots of energy to throw into other projects.

I've been writing cyberpunk and horror fiction. There are a collection of short stories up on the website already, and I'm 60k words into the first novel, hopefully for release next year. Check out the website for the stories, the blog if you want to know more about the world and characters and the Instagram has all the cool art that has been making for me in one place.

The YouTube channel has more expanded discussions of the science behind my work (it's based on real scary things AIs are already doing now) and also in collaboration with .chew
we have produced one of the songs the characters sings in the book (with more to come).

Please do check out Jesus and Moon's pages as well.

I will never use AI for any part of my creative process, and I collaborate entirely with real human artists and musicians.

Thank you for your support 🙏

It's been a while since I posted on this channel. I'm now devoting myself full time to strongman for the next few years.

Check out my new profile: for all strongman news and updates on my journey.

Thank you all for your support and encouragement 🙏 💪
