Its been quite a while.. But hey! Life isn't meant to be spent behind a computer. It's meant to be exciting, adventurous and most of all, it's supposed to be enjoyed with those around you!
A lot has happened since the last time I've written about any of my fitness adventures and in most part, its been for the better.
It's just been a crazy roller-coaster of diet and body shape.. At the start of 2014 I was looking along the lines of this:
But of course i decided to slack off and go on a seafood diet...
"Bulking" was just a reason i gave myself to eat copious amounts of food but its always about the journey and i'll never stop my journey of self improvement.
In comparison, today,
I still look the same..
. Nothing much has changed except for my ability to lift more weight!
Double overhand grip Deadlift 140kg 1RM
80kg Bench/35kg DB press
60kg Overhead press
100kg Squat (SHOULD BE > 9000 BUT IM JUST WEAK)
Majority of gym training nowadays has been focusing on the muscles in the back, lat dorsi, anterior delts, traps and rhomboids, and the subscapularis muscles.
Now don't laugh at this pathetic attempt of pull-ups but it has been a very long time coming and i'm quite proud of myself considering I've never been able to anything of the sort before.
(sorry for not being able to rotate view)
Other than training at the gym, there have been many bicycle adventures since! Just not recently in the past few weeks with all the rain in Brisbane.
First of all, the trusty beloved was dealt a severe blow and well take a look at the damage..
In saying that, she'll soon be a phoenix and will be revived once I have the means to fix her. All replacement parts have been bought and hopefully, she shall be fixed in the next few days! Fingers crossed!
However, the new bae was acquired and well have a look at this beauty!
It's an Avanti Corsa DR 1 if you're interested.
Going from a bombproof bike (almost) to an aerodynamic carbon goddess was such an amazing jump, I could instantly tell the difference in the two different rigs!
And she shall be the one to take me across the finish line when i do the Brissie to Bay charity ride for Multiple Sclerosis.

Personally, there's quite a few goals that I hope to achieve this year.
1. The beach body!
2. Cycle 200kms in one ride
3. Acquire greater co-ordination in sport
But it won't be the end if i don't.
Plenty of vitality left to go on and achieve them in the years to come!
It has been an awesome year and hopefully 2015 will be even better!
Cycle on!
