Three years ago, when we moved to Cheltenham and relocated, I was running on empty (but didn’t quite know that).
Long commutes.
Early starts.
Late finishes.
Trying to grow businesses, lead teams, support patients, provide for my family. All whilst trying to ‘stay in shape.’
From the outside, life probably looked successful.
But internally, I must have been bordering on burnout. Looking back, there was a really poor work-life balance.
I had very little time for myself.
Minimal time with the family.
Constant pressure.
And physically, I had started to neglect my own health.
A heart condition that needs close monitoring, borderline diabetes & high cholesterol.
Then I began to work with and I remember us looking at my back and highlighting the need for improvement. The search for width, thickness & the ‘Dorito back’ to provide better posture & strength during long surgery.
This journey was never just about aesthetics. It was to lower my diabetic & cholesterol markers. But as time went on I got so focussed on the process, the structure and the discipline. That 5am session is a release from the stress. It clears my mind. A chance to prove to myself that even during the busiest and hardest times, we can continue to grow. The truth is, the physical transformation is only a small part of this story.
Over the last 3 years I’ve grown mentally far more than physically.
More chilled.
More present.
More grateful.
More aware that health, time and family matter more than almost anything else.
And somewhere along the way, things began to change dramatically. 12 weeks ago we began preparing for PEAK WEEK.
I never thought I would possess a back like that. Who knew it would be achievable for a normal guy. Having said that, it is a clear indication of what can happen when you choose to follow a plan consistently over a long period of time. No quick fixes & the best coaching.
I’m proud I stuck to it, and I’m proud that as an ‘old man’ dad of 3, I was able to lay down muscle on this chicken frame.
