Been a busy week, hitting every session and training hard.
I do have sad news to share but it’s just a speed bump.

And the slight interruption to the IFBB debut
Surgeon confirmed today I have an acute ventral hernia, she’s surprised I’ve kept training as typically they are quite painful and cause a lot of nausea and vomiting.
she was impressed with my coaches approach to training and the amendments he made to my program to limit unnecessary abdominal pressure and I’ve got the okay to keep training as long as it doesn’t start to impact me until surgery where I’ll be off for at least 6 weeks before getting back into light gym activity.
This means my first IFBB show is delayed which is bittersweet but patience is key here and it means we can take a little longer to be better prepared for true novice and novice alike.
Thank you to
@Raptor Labs for the support during this time and everyone around me checking in as well, it has been a bit of an upsetting time due to why I’m doing this but we will get there and keep pushing through.
I’ll be smashing a support stack after surgery to help aid recovery and will keep the updates coming until I’m off the gym.
