I've been a personal trainer for over 10 years and a competitive powerlifter for 8 of those years. In all that time, what has inspired me the most, is seeing people pursue things they once thought was never possible, or was even on their radar! The people that inspire the most, are not World Record holders (but they do inspire me!) but they are the people that break down stereotypes and show the world, and themselves, what is possible.

A client of mine shared this recipe with me awhile back and now it is a staple in the many regular dishes I make, with my a couple of my own adjustments. This is really tasty and easy to make. It also has a small amount of peanut butter in it, which I love, as it caters to my peanut butter cravings, without going overboard. Enjoy!

I spent most of 2017 with upper back pain, around my right scapula. I spent countless hours (and money) at the osteo and physio, to relieve the problem, only for it to raise it's ugly head not too long after. I tried a number of upper back strengthening exercises, none of which seemed to alleviate the problem.

Below is a recipe that I originally came across on goodfood.com.au. I would have to say it is one of my all time favourite salads. It's a little fiddly, but definitely worth it!!!

Each year I put together a list of my top workout tracks. These are the songs that were released (or released on an album) in that year, and form part of a playlist for my training sessions, that I continually update.

In October I competed in my 5th consecutive Australian Powerlifting Championships, as a 52kg lifter. I finished the day going 7/9 with a 125kg squat, 65kg bench and a PB deadlift of 150kg. Both my squats and bench were down from my best, but it was great to walk away with a 150kg deadlift. If you had asked me 5 years ago, whether I thought I could ever deadlift 150kg, I would have yelled 'HELL NO!', but now I can.

This isn't my own recipe, but i made it recently for an event, then again for myself because I enjoyed it so much! Great dish for the warm Australian weather!

The recipe below has become quite a regular one for me. I love using the slow cooker. It makes for delicious, healthy and really easy to make recipes. This recipe has been modified from another recipe I found online, I altered it to suit the slow cooker - where you can just throw all the ingredients in together and 8hrs later, a delicious meal is ready!

It's been just over a month since I competed at the IPF World Powerlifting Championships. A month already!!! It will definitely go down as one of the best experiences and trips of my life.

Love pizza? But need to find an alternative to the doughy variety? I really love this cauliflower pizza recipe. The base is simple and easy to make and you can change the toppings to suit your appetite!
