What can you do when life doesn't go to plan?

We all know the importance of structure and routine when it comes to bodybuilding but are you being too rigid in your thinking?

Everyone will have times when things don't go to plan and you will have to be adaptable. If you aren't prepared for this it will likely throw you completely off balance. Here are my tips for preparing for all eventualities and learning to be flexible in your thinking.

This will not be what you expect....it isn't about growing weak areas in an off-season. I am not very good about talking about feelings but being vulnerable is important, it is part of being human. In this episode I talk about how moments of weakness have been defining moments for me  and how they can be turned into strengths.n
