I have learnt this trait across many, many years of engaging with thousands of people across the world. I treat everyone the same, from lifetime friends to the new person I will meet tomorrow.
Why is this important you may ask? Well, one day you will meet your maker. This person may become your mentor, your boss, your saviour, your business partner, your shining light, or your executioner.
Life can work in ever revolving circles and interchanges whereby people will move in and out of your life in different capacities. But, rest assured when they come back into your life they will remember you for the way you treated them.

I’m all about advancement, development, and progression. I embrace the latest technology and am open minded about new training methods.
However, for 100 years of bodybuilding there were only a small core group of compound exercises, complemented by another small core group of isolation exercises. The introduction of machines only mimicked these free weighted compound and isolation exercises.
Some of the greatest female and male physiques of all time were built using these proven free weight exercises and their machine counterparts.
However, in the last 10 years we have seen the number of exercises “invented” doubled, if not tripled. Some of the new machines deserve kudos and I will nominate the belt squat as one of these. But the majority of new training techniques are marketing garbage. These are aimed at influencing young gym goers who are looking for the quick fix and the quick results.
Don’t change for the sake of change. There are 100 years of solid evidence that the original training methods are very effective, as evidenced by the physiques produced. Science & research has not evolved that rapidly to suddenly develop an expansive raft of new effective training techniques.

Of course, it is! Charles Darwin said, “Organisms best adjusted to their environment are the most successful in surviving and reproducing.” And no, Darwin doesn’t have 2.5 million YouTube or TikTok followers. His theory of evolution by natural selection became the foundation of modern evolutionary studies.
Humans become involved in others business as a part of natural selection. Kill, or be killed. Remove your competition or perish. Subconsciously or consciously, this is why we meddle, why we are vindictive, why we are envious and why we are an evil species.
But you don’t have to be the caveman that clubbed his brother to death over a mammoth hindquarter. Be the caveman that marvelled the first time he saw a fire ignited by his brother. Be that caveman who learnt this technique, refined it and showed others. Acknowledge your brother as the first caveman to light a fire.
If you feel the primal urge to be involved in the business of others then one day, when you least expect it, you will be clubbed over the head.

Are you drowning in the endless theories and counter theories that the world has become? I’m waiting for an expert to cite that the ocean is pink, and the grass is purple! The scary part about that is it will have believers and followers who will put forward their own supporting evidence!
Since way before any of us were born there were con artists, snake oil salesmen, charlatans, thieves, rogues, and scallywags. The only thing these people didn’t have was the internet, so the expansion and reach of their craft was limited and slow. But now this has changed and their expansion and reach are immediate and limitless. And with a growing, naïve, and untapped market these people, and their automated online personas are exponentially exploding. And this is about to get far, far worse now that anyone can access the Artificial Intelligence (AI) range of tools.
If something seems too good to be true, or it goes against the grain of wide held beliefs and scientifically supported evidence over decades or centuries, then it probably is false. Start thinking for yourself again. It’s very refreshing!

The Human instinct to live is why we continue to be the dominant species on the planet. Fear of the unknown, and proven or perceived risk is what usually safeguards us against harm.
Imagine if the explorers of the world were too scared to cross a mountain or an ocean. We would not exist today in any shape or form. They turned their fear into unbridled excitement. Their risk brought our reward.
How many times have you feared an upcoming event that is either new to you, or you have had difficulty with it in that past? Probably every time! But, looking back now on those events I am sure you’ve slain them.
So, turn your perceived fear of the unknown into excitement to learn and to unlock new doors, worlds, and opportunities. If someone has done something before, it can be done again and why can’t it be you that does it?

The simple answer is – stop doing whatever you are doing, because it’s not working!
I’ll exclude an undiagnosed illness or condition from this piece as this can make you tired. However, there are numerous reasons why you will feel sluggish, including these:
Diet – excess sugars, excess carbohydrates and the sheer volume of food consumed
Sleep – broken or short duration, inadequate bedding
Stress – drains you mentally
Depression – you tend to want to sleep more during the day
Laziness – the less you do, the less you want to do
Obesity – your body is not designed to function in this state
Exercise – excessive amounts can cause fatigue over the long term
Many of these go hand in hand. In fact, a lot of people will have all these factors in their life. By addressing these one by one in a systematic manner will bring you out of your slumber!

Usually utter chaos! In the world of a competitor.
You do the same thing everyday and you have established the winning formula. But, invariably you have to travel to your competition. It could be a short 20 minute trip, up to a 42hr epic international adventure just to step on that stage! And yes, I have done both and every timeframe in between…a mere 138 times!
Things can, and will go wrong! So always have plan B – Z ready to implement at any stage throughout your travel as you will need them! A custom Flexr6 Comp Travel Plan is essential for your impending travel for your international competition!

In this world of want, want, want our greed will often lead to our demise!
If your life is heading in the right direction look at the reasons why that is happening and consolidate those factors. Don’t buy into anything that may jeopardise that.
Whatever is making you feel good now will always make you feel that way. Yes, by all means explore this amazing world and everything it has to offer, as that is how you found what you have today. But beware, your actions of today will bear the fruits of tomorrow.

Holidays, such as Easter provide many people with a four day break from work. That mental break and recharge is important to most. But, did you take three steps forward and four back? You most likely did!
This team of year also usually coincides with a change in nutrition. Clean eating can slip a little and poor eating can also become poorer. The end result of this can often be mentally damaging. Where your hard work has stalled, or you actually feel far worse than you ever did. This immediately puts you on the back foot with the return to your regular routine.
So did you really recharge, or regress?
Plan your next holiday period. Set goals and stick to them rigidly. For someone who has never done this a good starting point is to make the final day a clean day, with clean eating and plenty of hydration and some mild exercise. This will put you on the front foot mentally for the return to your regular routine.
Contact us today – for other positive tactics during the holiday period:

Say what? Like every other large task you need to achieve in life. Instead of launching straight into it, you need to build into it.
What do all these have in common?
You want to drop 10kg, so you go on a crash diet
You want to run a marathon, so you attempt it in week 1
You want to earn more money, so you take on a second and third job
You want to get up an hour earlier every day to walk before work
Failure is the likely outcome. Because you haven’t slowly trained for this. The body and mind cannot handle extreme change over an extended period. As resilient as we are, there are limits.
Break these tasks down into very achievable sub-tasks. And let’s start with the easiest one – the walk before work.
Day 1 – get out of bed 10 mins earlier than usual to get your faculties together and to realise that this is easy and I can do more.
Day 2 – up 20 mins earlier. Prepare your walking clothing for the next day.
Day 3 – up 30 mins earlier. Go for a 20 min walk.
Day 4 – up 40 mins earlier. Go for a 30 min walk.
And you know the rest.
This is exactly how you create more hours in a day by training for it. Meanwhile you are also far less likely to fail at you set task as you have built into it!

No one does as there are many factors and X factors at play!
If you follow the exact same routine Mon-Fri why should anything be different? You get up at the same time, go to work at the same time, eat pretty much the same thing every day, then go to bed at the same time every night.
Some of the factors that impact on you and your body are weather, stress, illness & injury. The X factors are the unknown impacts in your life and many of these surround nutrition and what we ingest, and don’t ingest. Keeping the gut calm, the blood sugar regular, the vitamin and minerals balanced and the hydration optimal are the four keys.
This has taken me years to master through trial and error and education!

Sounds ludicrous doesn’t it? Who the hell would look up to me as a source of inspiration? The world will!
If you are achieving something someone has dreamed of be rest assured you are inspiring them. The world of social media has enabled that.
Every female competitor I have ever coached for the stage has sent me a picture of another female on social media with the caption “I want to look like her!” My answer is “You’ll be better than that.”
At the end of the my competitors journey I tell them that their stage pictures are definitely being sent to other coaches by other girls with the same caption. You are now an inspiration!

You believe you train hard and that’s great! If you are giving it your all and are totally pumped and exhausted by the end of you workout then you cannot question your commitment. But, are you getting from point A to point B in the quickest possible way?
Efficient training is the best way to train. You won’t be compromising perceived effort or rate of exertion, but you will be assisting optimal muscle growth.
By lowering your weight and really focusing on the muscle group you are training is the most efficient way to train. It reduces the risk of injury and puts your maximum effort into stimulating the target muscle group.
Most people will go to the same commercial gym year after year. Look around you. How many of these people can you say have visually added muscle mass to their frame in the last year, including you? The answer will likely be zero.

Today the mainstream media and social media will have you believe anything. Whether it is true, fabricated or fundamentally flawed…..they will make you a follower!
Most people in our society will go with the flow and jump on any bandwagon through fear of ostracization or exclusion by their perceived circle of friends. Or they will align themselves with the highest authority delivering the message, even though they may not believe that message to be true.
If you are one of these people your life is probably stagnant and you are an underachiever who has never amounted to much in life, and never will.
All the successful people in this world are that way for a reason. They are different. They don’t follow what they are told by the mainstream media or the wannabes on social media.
Study these people, learn what they did to achieve greatness and leave the hype to the rest of society to get caught up in!

Mine is to optimise full mental and physical functionality for the longest time period possible. What’s yours?
That’s right! Everything I do is to maximise my quality and length of life. As I age I am becoming more attuned every day to what my body needs, and doesn’t need.
Surrounding myself with positive, honest and real people is one of my strengths for mental integrity. In turn, if anyone breaches any of these I will ruthlessly remove them from my life. Tolerance can only last a short infinite time.
Physically, I continue to educate myself and listen to my body. If you have a headache or a stomach ache there is always a reason for that. I am now very adept at identifying the reason and eliminating the cause. I never take painkillers as these only mask the symptoms.
I have adopted these, and many other life extending principles over the last 15 or so years. When I turned 40 the light bulb came on and I put my longevity plan into action. If I hadn’t, you wouldn’t be reading this today!

Furthermore, some clarification around my eligibility for these INBA PNBA Global categories is warranted. As I am a PNBA (Professional) Bodybuilder I am not permitted to enter any bodybuilding category at any amateur event. Hence why I only enter Classic Physique, Ink/Tattoo and Mixed Pairs/Couples at these amateur events. However, if an INBA PNBA Global event offers professional categories I am also eligible to enter all professional bodybuilding divisions.

There are of course many aspects to constructing your physique however, these are the five essentials we will discuss in a chronological sequence.
Genetics
You need to play the cards you’ve been dealt with, right?
Of course, you do. Or do you?
We are all human in appearance and our DNA is consistent within our species. But we all look so different.
Some cultures are more prominent in strength related sports. Strongmen and women are predominantly from the Scandinavian region and the Baltic States. Frozen skeletons from thousands of years ago have been discovered and examined. They have displayed larger than average bone structures indicating these people were just plain big. Their bloodlines have produced the strongmen and women we see today.
Go to any bodybuilding show and look at the abdominal definition of each competitor. There are six packs, eight packs, four packs, thick, shallow, symmetrical, and off-set abs. They all serve the same purpose for us humans, but some are more appealing to the judges’ eye.
Disillusioned already? Not a chance! You can change your appearance to be far more appealing everyday and onstage. Keep reading.
Mindset
So, you have your cards in your hand. Which ones do you throw back and which ones do you keep? What card or cards are you hoping to receive to have the strongest and winning hand?
You throw some, or all back and you live in hope that you will be touched by an angel and receive the hand from heaven. But you may get the hand from hell.
But I digress….and therein is the lesson. Don’t be distracted by the myriad of tricksters, frauds and dare I say it, card sharks that will attempt to alter your mindset so they can cash in your chips!
Set your goals, stay on your path, don’t stray from your end state. Block out the external noise, the negative people and leave the soul-destroying job you hate. Surround yourself with positive people, embrace a healthy lifestyle and be amazed how everything you touch from this point on will turn to gold.
I know this, as this is me.
Nutrition
The fuel and the recovery! The most underrated weapon in your arsenal. Most of the medicines today are synthetic versions derived from nature. For thousands of years cultures, such as the Chinese have known the secrets of traditional effective remedies and longevity.
Unfortunately, today we are overpowered with non-nutritious, affordable, timely and often harmful food options. Our body is extremely resilient and adaptive to what we put into it, up until a point.
It isn’t just what we eat it is how we are programmed to eat it. In Western society we are told to eat three meals per day, and bread at lunchtime is a tradition. Well guess what? That doesn’t work! Just look at most people in the Western World.
If you want to construct an efficient machine you must supply it with the right fuel and recovery options using precise timing. I can best describe this as an individual science. There is only one person who knows your body. That person needs to self-educate or source a reputable educator to optimise the building of the ultimate physique.
Knowledge is indeed, power!
Training
You have been training for something since the moment you were born. To breath walk, talk, eat, drink, sleep, cry, laugh, etc. In fact, the list is endless.
We go through life becoming interested and maybe less interested or even disinterested in a range of topics, issues, and endeavours.
Some people are in constant training to be the world champion at having a heart attack. Whilst some others train as hard and as often as they can to contract lung cancer or liver failure. If you do something for long enough you will get good at it!
Whatever you are training for do it with passion. If you do not absolutely love the training and the result, then you need to change your focus. You may find it all too hard or it may be a mockery and you need a higher challenge.
Consistency
As a species we learn through repetition. The constant imprinting of our brain, positive or negative will work.
Identify your ideal physique and the steps it requires to attain your Michelangelo or Venus. Follow these steps every single minute of every single day. Live it, breathe it and it will happen.
I have supplied four crucial and malleable overarching key strategies in this document. These can be broken down into steps that can be followed. If you have the fifth; genetics you still need to apply the other four to construct your physique. If you don’t then hell, pretend you do!

As most of the world will be returning to the gym in the near future it is essential that you follow these key strategies to ensure health, progress and longevity.
Returning to the Gym
Start at the Start – what does this mean? Well, it doesn’t mean picking up 1kg dumbbells if you are used to pressing 50kg dumbbells. It must be remembered that your strength levels will be diminished after any prolonged layoff. If you attempt to lift what you did pre COVID-19 you WILL injure yourself. When returning to the gym start at 50% of the weight you previously used. Or for non-weighted training 50% of the reps or duration of time that you previously used.
Don’t Overstimulate – some pre-workouts can make you feel that you are Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (the huge dude from Game of Thrones). This sense of invincibility WILL injure you. Use the 50% rule on pre-workouts when returning to the gym.
Dress for the Conditions, Not for Tik Tok! – gyms are COLD. The temperatures are set LOW in gyms. This is so you don’t expire in the first 15 mins of your workout from heat exhaustion. However, this may also compromise your immune system which is a huge NO NO during the Corona Virus Pandemic. Upon returning to the gym, stay warm and only update your social media with pics & videos of good form and impressive weights!
Don’t Start a Riot – adhere to your gyms rules. If you break the newly enforced rules by your gym – they will be shut down again! Remember, your gym owner would love to have every member in its facility 24/7. So returning to the gym in a responsible manner is essential for your gym to remain open.

Flexr6 Immunity Stack – What is it?
GLUTAFLEX
After intense training, glutamine levels are heavily depleted. Glutaflex can enhance muscle repair and immune recovery through its action on transporting nitrogen to muscle cells.
Glutaflex can be used by the body as a primary energy source, which can assist in reducing muscle wastage. In addition, Glutaflex can also be used by the body as a primary source of energy for the immune system and directly for energy when glycogen levels are low, which strengthens immune system function and recovery. This is particularly important when dieting.
Glutaflex is 100% pure Glutamine with no fillers, and is manufactured here in Australia.
ZMA
Zinc is an essential micronutrient that is crucial to almost every aspect of your health.
Research shows that this mineral may enhance immune function, stabilize blood sugar levels, and help keep your skin, eyes, and heart healthy.
Magnesium can:
Increase the absorption of potassium, which is critical for proper muscle function.
Decrease pain by blocking pain receptors in the brain and nervous system.
Dampen inflammation in the muscles and the entire body.
Relaxes blood vessels and decreases blood pressure, which restores healthy circulation.
Increases your serotonin, GABA and melatonin, which helps you relax and fall asleep.
Each Capsule contains 500mg of Magnesium L Aspartate 30mg of Zinc Picolinate and 10mg of Vit B6.
