Strength is a habit.
The mat built the discipline; strength training keeps it honest. I log every session, so the numbers on this page are counted, not claimed.

Four hours. Five machines.
20 September 2025: 35 working sets, 31,180 kg moved and a 465 kg leg press for five at the end of it. Every set goes in the app, so progress is something I can read, not something I remember.

How I train
Three rules, borrowed from the mat.
01
Log every set.
If it isn't written down, it didn't happen. The log decides what next week looks like.
02
Add weight slowly.
305 kg on 30 August, 465 kg for five on 20 September. Small jumps, stacked week after week.
03
Show up.
Same rule as taekwondo: the session you didn't skip is the one that counts.

Why it matters
The gym is for the mat.
Strength carries straight into taekwondo: faster kicks, harder bases, fewer injuries. The medals live on the next page.
