I love the training really hard and heavy while having movements that are technically difficult too. Gives me heaps to work on.Â
  I make sure my coach and I have a plan, Ialso up my recovery and food leading into a competition. I normally do a strength/technique piece then alll accessories and a possible workout to do.Â
It is different for every single person so I would advise seeking out someone who can help you. However, I will say keep your protein high and don’t skip the carbsÂ
Just join a group of people you feel comfortable with and who support you, give it a go and have some fun with it. Â
Hands down the rainbow and mocha flavoured protein powered.I also love the beet power great natural way to get a pre workout in!Â
Just learning the movements, not beating myself up when things got hard or I felt like I couldn’t do it.My inner strength and my need to want to grow as a person and to be constantly evolving is what motivates me.Â
To surround yourself with people who want you to win will make you go further. Enjoy the process enjoy your achievements andlove what your body can do for you.Â
 To train consistently and to find a gym I can get back into strongman training now that I’m on the Sunshine Coast. To get back to just loving how it feels to move and keep strong, fit and healthy…. And of course to compete as much as I can hahahahÂ
