This time I'm not making excuses

Dedication > motivation

Remember why you started.

[Alex Macaulay @itsalexmacaulay]

Rehab for now ⚕️

Then we build 🔨

Gotta look after your bodies and brain! 🧠

Strength will come, but functional and daily tasks without pain is the goal 💪

Then we build an OBSCENE total 👀

[Alex Macaulay @itsalexmacaulay]

I could give you every excuse

But at this point, the work's been done and it's almost time to show you what I've got 💪

Plenty of learnings, plenty to work on, we're only getting better!

[Alex Macaulay @itsalexmacaulay]

Load the bar

Get the work done

[Alex Macaulay @itsalexmacaulay]

I have plans on plans on plans

I'm in this for the long term

I'm pushing myself further than I can imagine at this moment

Just wait

[Alex Macaulay @itsalexmacaulay]

FUCK YES 🦵

[Alex Macaulay @itsalexmacaulay]

Less than 3 weeks

1kg to lose

Finding attempts and maxes the next couple of weeks

Let's see what this body can do

This is only the benchmark.
The beginning.
The FIRST total.

There's SO much more to come 💪🥇

[Alex Macaulay @itsalexmacaulay]

I'm so close, yet the urge to give it is higher than ever

1.5kg to go

3.5 weeks to go

Weight to come down, strength to go up

Comp day I can eat everything I desire, just got to get there!

[Alex Macaulay @itsalexmacaulay]

Work meetings eating into my training time 🤬😡

[Alex Macaulay @itsalexmacaulay]

Volunteering at this comp has just got me insanely pumped for my comp in July

#4weeksout

[Alex Macaulay @itsalexmacaulay]

@AneteLusina That's true, small silver lining there 😁

Plus your present of a massage reiki for me later 🥰

[Alex Macaulay @itsalexmacaulay]

Had my good days...not back to the low energy/mood days 😡

[Alex Macaulay @itsalexmacaulay]

Headphones died 1 set into the workout

Fuck.

[Alex Macaulay @itsalexmacaulay]

Tired
Hot
Hayfever kicking off

But better state mentally, so no excuse to not get this session done 💪

Get shit done when I'm feeling good mentally, so those days I don't feel great it's one less thing to worry about!

[Alex Macaulay @itsalexmacaulay]

5 weeks out

3kg to make weight

😬😬😬

[Alex Macaulay @itsalexmacaulay]

I've found the one spot in my house where my eyes are less itchy from hayfever

It just happens to be Infront of my PC 😂
