Physique Fitness Challenge
In Summer 2022 I set myself a goal to compete in physique bodybuilding competition. Despite having lifted weights since my teenage years, I had never seen myself as a physique competitor so this goal represents a significant shift in the way I see my relationship with the gym. This blog series will document my journey from someone who put significant effort in when he was at the gym to someone who realised that success on the physique competition stage would require much more than just lifting some weights.
Why am I doing this? Great question, and one which I have documented in detail in its own post which you can check out below:
I’m hoping that by documenting my journey openly and honestly, including the highs and the lows, it will help others on similar journeys achieve greater levels of success and achievement, not just in the gym, but in all areas where these same success principles apply.
