1.8K
PEMike hitting 170kg on the deadlift.
A big milestone, but what matters more is how he got there… and where we’re taking it next.
Because this phase isn’t about chasing numbers for the sake of it.
It’s about building real, solid strength that holds up under pressure.
We’ve been putting a lot of focus into the details:
Dialling in his setup every single rep.
Improving bar path to stay efficient and controlled.
Targeting weak points in the posterior chain.
Staying tight and consistent, even when fatigue kicks in.
Anyone can grind out a heavy lift once.
The goal is to own that weight, and make it repeatable.
That’s where the real progress is made.
It’s not always flashy.
It’s not always exciting.
But it’s the work that separates average from elite.
We’re building strength the right way:
Not just heavier… but cleaner, stronger, and more controlled.
And alongside that, everything else is aligned too, training, recovery, nutrition, all pushing in the same direction.
170kg is just a checkpoint.
Now we keep building.
Want a programme built around more than just weight loss or gaining muscle?
One that actually improves how you move, perform, and get stronger week by week…
