Earlier this year, we decided to go back to our competitive roots.

But instead of choosing a “normal” sport… we chose powerlifting. 😂

It came with a lot of learning curves, emotions and, if I’m honest, plenty of self-doubt.

I was only 5 months post shoulder surgery when I started pushing my body harder than I probably should have. Looking back, that may have played a part in me not performing quite how I wanted on the day.

But we still walked away with a BRONZE MEDAL 🥉 and invitations to compete at other events — opportunities that, unfortunately, personal circumstances mean I won’t be able to take up.

And that’s okay.

Because now the focus has changed.

The next 9–12 months are about building.

Building my strength.
Building my fitness.
Building my discipline.
Building the athlete I know is still somewhere inside me.

I want to find the athlete I was when I was younger and see just how far I can take this at 34.

The goal?

To chase European & World qualification, push some seriously big numbers, and see if I can work my way towards the Top 25–50 natural powerlifters in the UK.

And I want to do it naturally.

Not because I think there’s anything wrong with people making different choices, but because this is my challenge.

I want to prove to myself that you can still become an incredibly strong, capable athlete as you get older.

That you can train hard, eat well, recover, stay disciplined and keep chasing improvement — even when life gets busy.

And most importantly…

I want my wife and children to see what discipline, structure and commitment actually look like.

I want them to see that you don’t have to be the youngest person in the room to chase something difficult.

You just have to be willing to keep showing up.

So this is the beginning of the next chapter.

Road to European & World qualification.

Road to becoming the strongest and fittest version of myself.

And maybe… just maybe… finding that young athlete again. 😜

Let’s see what the next 12 months brings.

220 squat.
220 deadlift.
140 bench.

And we’re only getting started. 🥉💪

Fitness has become far too complicated.

Every week there’s a new “best” workout, a new split, or another fitness trend promising faster results.

Here’s the truth…

Most people don’t need more complexity. They need more consistency.

My training is built around four simple pillars:

🏋️ Push – Build strength.
💪 Pull – Build a resilient back and grip.
🦵 Legs – The foundation of everything.
❤️ Functional Conditioning – Keep the heart healthy, move well, and stay athletic.

That’s it.

Show up.
Train hard.
Recover well.
Repeat.

You don’t need a fancy programme.

You need discipline.

Master the basics, get stronger over time, and build a body that’s ready for life—not just one that looks good in the mirror.

As a husband, a dad, and a powerlifter, my goal isn’t to be perfect.

It’s to be strong enough to protect my family, healthy enough to be present, and fit enough to enjoy every stage of life with them.

Lift heavy. Feel good. F**k good!

Simple.

STRONG. SEXY. SAVAGE.

Three words.

Not because I want to be the biggest bloke in the gym.
Not because I think life is all about six-packs.

But because I want to be the best version of myself.

Strong enough to carry my kids, protect my family, and keep showing up when life gets hard.

Sexy enough that my wife still gets to enjoy looking at the man she married. Attraction doesn’t stop when you become a dad—if anything, it’s worth investing in.

Savage enough to stay disciplined when motivation disappears. To choose the workout. To choose the healthy meal. To keep going when excuses would be easier.

This page isn’t about perfection.

It’s about becoming the man my family deserves.

Over the next few years you’ll see the wins, the setbacks, the heavy lifts, the family moments, and everything in between.

If you’re a dad—or just someone who wants more from themselves—come along for the ride.

Let’s become Strong. Sexy. Savage.

Being a man, husband and dad means trying to stay on top of the things that matter.

🏋️ I lift heavy weights. Squats and deadlifts are my happy place.

🥩 I fuel my body with good food, and as a family we’re trying to teach our kids that nutrition isn’t about restriction—it’s about giving your body what it needs.

🤸 I stay mobile. I stretch, move, and enjoy learning gymnastics-style movements. There’s something satisfying about being a big guy who can still move well and surprise people.

💆 My career is built around sports massage, injury prevention and rehabilitation. It also means I get to help my wife recover after training—I’m not complaining about that one! It’s good practice and definitely earns me a few brownie points.

🥐 And when we’re out? I’ll happily enjoy a takeaway, a French pastry or a ridiculous milkshake.

Because life isn’t about being perfect.

It’s about showing our kids that discipline and consistency build a strong life—but it’s also okay to enjoy the moments that make life worth living.

Train hard.
Move well.
Eat well.
Love your family.
Enjoy the journey.

That’s what strength means to me. 💪

Hi, let’s Refresh, I’m Josh!

I’m a husband, a dad, a coach and someone who has spent years pushing my natural strength as much as possible!

Iv stepped onto the platform as a powerlifter, pushed my body to its limits, and helped others become stronger. But somewhere along the way I realised something…

Being physically strong doesn’t automatically make you the husband, father or the man you want to be.

Over the last few years Iv struggled with motivation, balance and finding time for myself while trying to provide for my family. There have been days Iv questions weather I was doing enough and weather I was becoming the example I want my children to follow.

That changes today.

This page isn’t about pretending to have life figured out!

It’s about documenting the journey.

The journey to becoming stronger physically.
Stronger mentally.
Stronger as a husband.
Stronger as a father.

Over the next few years il be sharing the wins, the setbacks, the training, the family moments and everything I’m learning along the way.

The goals I have are simple:
- Build the healthiest, strongest version of myself.
- Raise confident, healthy children who love being active.
-Supporting and contribute to helping my wife in chasing her dreams of business as much as she supports mine!
- To show that ordinary dads can achieve extraordinary things when they stop making excuses and start showing up every day.

If your a dad that’s trying to become a little better that you were yesterday…

You are in the right place.

Let’s build our strength together💙

🏋️‍♂️ Why Weight Training is Your Best Friend on the Fitness Journey! 🏋️‍♀️
Are you looking to boost your metabolism, sculpt your body, and gain strength? Weight training might just be your golden ticket! Here’s why you should make it a staple in your fitness routine:

💪 Build Lean Muscle
Weight training helps you build lean muscle mass, which not only shapes and tones your body but also increases your metabolism. More muscle = more calories burned, even when you're at rest!

🔥 Burn More Fat
When you lift weights, your body continues to burn calories long after the workout is over. This "afterburn effect" (EPOC) is key for fat loss and achieving that lean, defined look.

🧠 Boost Mental Strength
Lifting isn’t just about physical strength—it’s about mental resilience too. Every time you push through that last rep, you're building mental toughness that carries over into all areas of life.

🛡️ Protect Your Bones & Joints
Weight training strengthens your bones and joints, reducing the risk of injury and helping to prevent conditions like osteoporosis as you age.

🌟 Confidence Boost
There’s nothing like the feeling of lifting heavier weights or seeing your progress in the mirror. Weight training empowers you, boosts your confidence, and makes you feel unstoppable!

🎯 Start Small, Dream Big
Don’t be intimidated by the weights! Start with what feels comfortable and gradually increase the load. Progress is progress, no matter how small. Remember, every rep is a step closer to your goals!

📅 Challenge Yourself
Set a goal this week—maybe it’s increasing your weights by 5 lbs or adding an extra set to your routine. Let’s get stronger, one lift at a time!

💥 Your Body is Stronger Than You Think! 💥

Start lifting today, and watch your body and mind transform. You’ve got this! 💪
