Endless week. Loud brain. Good people.

Memes suggest I need supervision.

It felt long.
It felt heavy.

It was actually full of laughs, lifts, good food, fresh air, and people who make the chaos worth it.

Overthinking like I’m training for the Olympics.

Nutritionally satisfied.
Grateful.
High-functioning.
Self-aware.

Still unsupervised.
Happy Friday

Living like a monk Monday to Friday

Just to turn into a feral raccoon by Saturday?

That’s not strategy.
That’s chaos with a calendar.

If you’re surviving on fumes all week then acting shocked when the weekend runs you over, there’s your problem.

Extreme deficits don’t beat consistency.
They just make you dramatic.
You don’t need to suffer harder.

You need to stop swinging between saint and gremlin.
Eat like a normal adult.
All week.

Make it boring.
Make it repeatable.
Make it work.

Wholesome but unstable.

Dog walks & under-fuelled failures.
Ladentines pints with the auld fella.
Texts from my mother trying to end shenanigans on the pool table.
Deadlifts. Jane hench AF. Lunch dates.
Charcoots, wine, & belly laughs.
Jobs.
Roast dinners that show the love.
Intrusive thoughts that absolutely should not be in charge.

A weekend of good food, good lifts, great people…
and memes that confirm I have the emotional range of a Labrador
and the brain chemistry of a raccoon in a bin.

Balanced. Thriving.

Genuinely concerned no one has confiscated my adult privileges yet.

Happy commercially sanctioned love day.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
If you’re clinically unstable,
Your demons love you.

No soft launches.
No inspirational quotes.

Just unhinged flirting, courtroom-level delusion,
blocking people for smiling too much,
arguing with your own thoughts,
and calling it character development.

Stay chaotic.
Happy Valentine’s, gremlins. 💜

Another one bites the dust.

The last of the original Tin Shifters has officially escaped.

There’s been pregnancy announcements, weddings, parties, inappropriate jokes, a 10kg baby workout, belly laughs, and a few tears in between.

They say you should keep work professional.
This is what professional looks like right.

When you spend more time with people every week than you do with family, you don’t just “train” them.

You share drinks. Secrets. Life updates.
You build something.

They’ve helped build this business.
They’ve kept me sane more times than they know.

They’ve been the reason Lift & Laugh feels like more than a gym.

I always tell people in consults that my goal is for them to eventually f**k off…politely.

To outgrow me.
To not need me.
But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t sting when they do.

So while I don’t get to torture her weekly anymore, she and the rest of them will always be part of why this community exists in the first place.

Once a Tin Shifter. Always a Tin Shifter.

Brain dump of the week.

AI can have my job when it learns how to spiral, recover, and crack a joke mid collapse.

Built like a punchline. Thinking too much. Lifting anyway. Professionally functional. Spiritually feral.

Emotionally aware enough to know what’s wrong.
Unhinged enough to keep training, laughing, and keeping receipts in meme form.

Season 7 behaviour.
The writers are bored. The plot is aggressive.

Character development via chaos, caffeine, and questionable coping strategies.

If I’m quiet, I’m thinking.
If I’m loud, I’m avoiding thinking.
If I’m smiling, something is absolutely on fire internally.

Still showing up.
Still making it weird.
Still choosing movement over meltdowns. (As best I can)

Anyway.
Here’s everything I forgot to process this week.

Squatting deep isn’t about ego or aesthetics.

It trains more muscle, builds strength that transfers, and keeps your joints healthier long-term.

Partial reps make numbers bigger.
Full reps make you stronger.

If depth feels hard, that’s information…not a reason to avoid it.

Strong where it’s uncomfortable
beats strong where it’s convenient.

Want better depth without tanking your strength?
• Slow your squats down (3–4 sec on the way down)
• Pause in the bottom for 1–3 seconds
• Use goblet or front squats to learn the position
• Reduce load, keep depth non-negotiable
• Spend time in the bottom (deep squat holds, 30–60s)

Earn the depth.
The load will follow.
