In this first instalment, I take you through my hypertrophy-focused training block and why I’ve shifted away from powerlifting. I share how I’m using AI to help structure my workouts, how I balance early mornings with family life, and why this new routine is helping me reset mentally. It’s raw, real, and exactly what I'm doing right now.
