Since living on my own my progress at training has really been startling to me. Maybe this is the typical “newbie” gains I’m going through, but I’m not so sure since I’ve been training for over 2 years now — though I did take a 3 month hiatus earlier this year while moving and settling my life in JHB.

For the first time in my life I can actually track what I eat and do it properly, not having to work to the timetables of others. This has had quite an effect and the progress I’ve made in the last 4 months far outstrips anything that I managed in the past. Ironically I train less than I used to; I now do a 3-day full body routine as opposed to the 5-day split routine I used to.
