 What a fucking day what worker with guys with mental disabilities or intellectual disabilities severe ones that Living a specific house just for them. We go in as shift workers go in and do our shifts and And look after them basically so you know most days are good most days are cruisey doesn't matter if I'm low-carb Doesn't matter if I'm fasting nothing. I still get through it, but today man Today was different tongue mags. I've never ever ever in two and a half years shown any sign of weakness or any sign of Stress or snapping at anyone or anything like that and I'm really proud of that so for me to today actually for the first time be Be about to snap at someone, you know, that's that's crazy and it's all to do with this fucking diet man I'm telling you I've been I've been dieting pretty much this whole year Proper, but in saying that I have literally been dieting this whole year Obviously not well enough because otherwise what I've shredded way sooner, but it's come to this and it's come down to the wire I'm doing everything to get as lean as possible. It's the last thing I want to do is to come out of a prep It's Dostro levels man. You know, that's not worth it. That's really not worth it And I've seen quite a few videos of people who they're not on juice or anything But because they've got so lean and been in a calorie deficit for so long Dostro levels and I mean, I honestly don't think that's me because One good thing about not dieting properly for this first probably half of this year was that the fat loss was extremely slow So my strength was maintained. My muscle mass was maintained if these last 12 weeks strength has gone down a little bit Dead lifts I'm doing sets with 160 rather than 180 bench press I'm doing sets with you know 70 kgs or maybe 80 at tops rather than like 85 90 and squats It really depends on the day, you know, I'm feeling good when these are feeling good. I've got lots of energy I can squat just the same, you know three plates for for a set of five But usually That's that strength Strength work if you guys have seen the way I train. It's usually, you know, lighter weight No less than 10 to 12 reps Even up to 15 20 reps and a drop set or a super set or something like that. So I really like intense workouts, but not heavy. So You control the intensity guys. Yep, you know, you can have 60 kgs on the bar You can have 100 kgs on the bar and have 140 kgs on the bar Depending on how many reps you do and how slow your movement is you're gonna get the exact same workout man You're gonna get a fucking awesome pump even on 60 kgs Better than the one better than the pump you're gonna get with the heavy weight. That's for sure So, you know, that's that's how I train and that's how I always have trained probably how I always will train because I don't Fuck up my joint. So, you know, 24 years old last thing I want is a Troublesome shoulder or knee which I already do have Unfortunately, but the last thing I want to do is aggravate it by doing heavy stupid weights. So But in saying that You must Must continue to lift as heavy as you were whether you're lifting heavy or light before You've got to continue the way you were training Continue to train intense If you stop if that intensity starts dropping while you're dieting man, your strength is gonna go down You've got to keep that intensity Whether that's with a pre-workout caffeine coffee, whatever you need to do training partner music There's a few good ideas for Whatever you do, you need to keep training hard. I've trained with the same way You know pretty much the same amount of reps every single workout Different exercises different, you know dumbbells barbells, whatever I mix it up every workout But as far as the intensity goes, it's been there every single workout if I find I'm not intense in the first 10 minutes You know, I won't leave and usually funnily enough by the end of the workout I have got intense So if you're not feeling it at the start, it's not the end of the world All right push through watch watch some YouTube or something watch something to motivate you and And you'll get to the end of the workout Having you guys support Instagram's huge You know, this fit fam thing is amazing and you got to get on it man if you're not everyone's so supportive and Can't wait to hit the stage on the Gold Coast And show those guys what Alice Springs really made of Because that's what I've been doing man. I moved to Alice Springs five years ago From New Zealand straight from New Zealand. I've lived in Adelaide for six months But apart from that I've spent my whole five and a half years that have been in Australia in Alice Springs Now you guys might think that's sad. I have done a lot of you know holidays I've had at least two holidays a year and honestly guys one thing the thing that I'll leave you with right now is the fact that I Didn't realize this until about two years after living here But all you need is a small group of friends a small circle that you can hang out with that you can talk to And you can live anywhere guys it doesn't really matter But one thing I will say is that having one member of family Wherever you're living, especially if it's remote like Alice Springs helps a shit ton man And I've got my sister here, and I've also got my best mate from New Zealand and I've got all my new best mates God New Zealand's fucking New Zealand's an old life now man Alice Springs is my home. It really is Or at least it's my second home. So and I'm buying a house here But in saying that what I was gonna say before is that Alice Springs has been an awesome opportunity for me to just put my head down No judgment No bullshit that goes on in the gyms man. The gyms here are cool positive A niche group of people you can become mates with all the people that go there, and I'm sure that would happen in any place I mean, I can't wait to move away from here and start going to gyms in my local new local place And start meeting people there, you know because that it's literally just as good as going to the club That's it's even better for meeting people because you're not pissed as and you'll fucking remember it the next day, you know but Anyway, I am rambling right now. All I was gonna say about Alice Springs is that it's let me put my head down train hard and what I'm gonna do on October the 17th has come out from nowhere and I hope everyone's impressed because I am working my fucking ass off to impress everyone And to make the most of this one opportunity I'm gonna have to showcase myself because that's what it is man This is an opportunity as Greg Blitz said.
