#superpumped Saturday! I've been struggling with a pulled pectoral and a pulled lat after really trying to push my numbers up on the bench and deadlift as feel closer and closer to full strength during my recovery.. Today I decided to ease back on the weights, up the reps and have a high rep, lightweight bodybuilder pump session.... Now for some more food and recovery😎😂 #recovering #staystrong #selfie #scars #bodybuilding #fitnessmotivation #powerlifting #physique #pump #freaky #ifbb #classicbodybuilding #muscle #picoftheday #igers #igdaily #gymlife #striations #strongerme #classicphysique #flex #bodytransformation #bodybuildingsavedmylife @caffeineandcreatine_sa @bodybuildingcom @classicphysique_ @ifbb_official @bodybuilding_motivation @bodybuildingnation

Another working deadlift set from todays session: Conventional to Sumo deadlift progression for 6 reps today at 180kg/400lbs Bodyweight 84kg/185lbs. I find the conventional pull first helps pre-exhaust the back muscles before switching to sumo to work technique and force the hips and quads to fire. Not bad for a guy who couldn't walk 5 months ago🙄😁 #deadlift #sumo #conventionaldeadlift #powerlifting #fitnessmotivation #strengthandconditioning #strengthtraining #recovering #roadtorecovery #igdaily #igvideo #innerbeast #gpcpowerlifting #formcheck #innerbeast #sumodeadlift

Conventional to Sumo deadlift progression for 3 reps today at 200kg/440lbs Bodyweight 84kg/185lbs.

A mid level set from my box session yesterday, 140kg x 5 (308lb) I find box squats to be a great training tool for building squat form and stability and for learning to hit the correct depth.. Try them out on your next leg day. #boxsquat #squat #formcheck #igvideo #trainingtips #trainingvideos #powerlifting #strengthandconditioning #strengthtraining

Boxing day box squats. 160kg/352lb x 5 reps at 84kg/185lb bodyweight. Looking forward to getting back on the platform with #rhinopowerlifting athletes next year! Thanks my baby @gabriellaturi for shopping while I squat and keeping this back hole fed! @powerliftingmotivation @powerhousemcnamara @pwrlft @caffeineandcreatine_sa #squat #squats #squatordie #whatdoesntkillyou #igdaily #boxsquat #nodaysoff #strengthandconditioning #strength #boxingday #boxingdayfun #powerlifting #GPC #trainingvideos #igdaily #trainingtips

I woke up this morning with my back feeling stronger than ever since my shooting and stuffed full of wonderful calories from dinner with the gorgeous @gabriellaturi last night... perfect for a high volume leg session😎 Bodyweight this morning, 85kgs... Set in video is 160kg for 8 reps. Next goal... Double bodyweight for 10 reps... Maybe in the next week after more Christmas calories😀😂 #squat #squats #squatordie #saturdaysessions #powerlifting #fitnessmotivation #nevergiveup #igers #igvideo #GPC #gpcpowerlifting #trainingtips #train #igfit #gymrat #fitnessmotivation #squatchallenge #bodybuilding #training #innerbeast #quadwork #quads #gymlife #gym #classicbodybuilding #muscle #fitnessjourney #trainingvideos

#throwbackthursday to a bearded, temporarily crippled and extremely drugged up on morphine me in ICU in July of this year. I had been shot in the ribs in an armed robbery and the bullet broke my ribs, shattered my spleen and lodged in my spine. Looking back at this today I can honestly say I'm beyond fortunate to not only be able, not only be walking, but lifting heavy weights and preparing for my return to the #GPC South African Powerlifting scene to defend my 83kg division SA title next year (I won this year shortly before being shot and was devastated at the possibility of never lifting again) Every morning I wake up stronger and more determined and soon I'll be fitter and stronger than I've ever been and ever thought I would be! Doctors tell me that the extra muscle I developed around my core and spine from years of heavy lifting saved my life and prevented my spine being shattered so I'm working on building those muscles up to be even stronger than before. #throwback #determination #motivation #mystory #throwbackthursday #fightingon #powerlifting #bodybuilding #bodytransformation #legsdayeveryday#innerbeast #myjourney #fitnessmotivation #bulletwound #scars #gymlife #luckytobealive #becomebulletproof #igers #igdaily #picoftheday #recovering #inspiration #bodybuildingsavedmylife #powerliftingsavedmylife
