Quick announcement before I kick this log off.
I want to give a big shout out to @Core Pharma for their continued support.
I’ve personally been using Core for over 2 years now, and for the last 12 months I’ve been lucky enough to have them come on board as a sponsor.
Theyve supported me at my worst. And continued up until my current best. That support doesn’t go unnoticed
.
I’m genuinely grateful to have them behind me again for this next phase.
here we go...
2026 has been a bit of a rollercoaster so far. A few unplanned things slowed me down, but I kept chipping.
I started my most recent cut at around 78kg, hit my all-time lowest of 73kg with the help of food poisoning, then slowly worked my way back up and finished at 78kg.
with that said.. its now time to move into a proper building phase.
The plan is to add some quality size, keep things reasonably tidy and see what we can put together over the next few months.
Coached by the freak himself from @Freakfitnesscoaching . Another legend i owe my transformations to and looking forward to seeing where we can take things from here.
