In the past week I’ve left my house twice. Once to go and get the dressing changed on my feet and last night I went out to one of my clients houses for a party for a few hours. To be honest the last week has been extremely refreshing. I’ve read three books, I’m crushing [...]

Back in 2007 when I was preparing to leave Ireland my dad said something to me which I am constantly reminded of. “You live in your head, if you are happy there it doesn’t matter where you are.” I came across the following picture online the other day and it reminded me of it. There [...]

Wow – Just realized how bad I’ve been this week at not updating. The last couple weeks I haven’t been that motivated to train for several reasons and having my parents here this week def helped with my decisions. I’m also going in for minor foot surgery on both feet on Monday so I haven’t [...]

I’ve had a mixed few days of training this week. My parents flew in on Sunday and I’ve been spending a lot of time with them so training has been knocked back a few steps. Monday was supposed to be an AM PM day and Tuesday an active recovery day but I just split the [...]

Before I left the gym last night I told Jarrod I was gonna Snatch 260 today at 7am. When I got in he was there waiting to watch me. I pretty much did no warm up – put my shoes on – did a few snatches with an empty bar then started my 8 reps [...]
