“When you stand in front of the mirror daily it can be hard to see the changes. Stay patient, stay honest, stay focused and I promise that when you look back at old pictures and old training PRs the progress will be evident and it will be worth it,” the 30-year-old wrote on Instagram.

“The primary focus of my personal training for the past 9 years has been increasing my strength while staying ‘fit enough’ 😅.

“Each year the main strength goals usually revolve around lower body strength squat/deadlift and upper body pressing (aka HSPUs).

“Even though I enjoy the act of endurance training, that is not a good enough excuse to avoid the work that is going to give me the best shot at winning competitions,” he concluded.
