May Summary

May has been a wild ride for me.

I practically posted no articles for you guys (other than the two ones before this).

I posted no YouTube videos…

I’ve been pretty ghost.

But I have done one thing!

I started posting on TikTok again, just not too consistently 🙄 

https://www.tiktok.com/@poolefitness

I used to post quite a bit on TikTok, then I got in some drama and stepped away from the platform.

I only came back because I realised there’s so many lessons I teach on this newsletter that I want people to see.

As useful as YouTube is for getting new people in, TikTok is a complete untapped oil reserve. i’ll find out if they have the attention span to read later 😭 

I’m going to be writing a lot the rest of this year, I’m going to be posting on TikTok, and I’ll be making some YouTube videos.

If there’s anything you want to see from me, learn from me, or whatever. Just reply to this email and let me know.

Doesn’t have to be about the gym.

Other than that here’s a few things I’ll share with you on personal progress:

I did end up skipping a couple of workouts, could have done them, but didn’t. yes they’re all lower days 😭 

1. 84kg (cut took a bit of a pause ‘cause i’m off my meds)

2. All time peak physique (still a bit fat 🙄)

3. Got a few guys in my group coaching and they’re loving it

4. I’ve been outside a lot and have caught the sun a bit (barely)

5. Playing grow a garden a little

Here’s a cheeky progress pic. two weeks old, you know i don’t post current things 😊 

I’m hoping to record some of my sets for you guys, maybe even upload a workout again to YouTube, or to use as b-roll.

Film/TV

Honestly I haven’t been watching much compared to the numbers I usually do but the few I’m watching atm are GREAT.

I’ll try and rank them rq and then tell you why I enjoy them.

1. One Piece I’m a huge one piece fan so having it air is just automatically gonna make it my number one.

2. To Be Hero X I’ve loved watching tbhx, it’s super original, uses cinematography, music, and a super unique concept incredibly well. It’s been great to follow and I’m excited to see what’s coming out of it next.

3. Black Butler Seasons here can be a little hit or miss but I’ve enjoyed this Emerald Witch arc a ton.

4. Apothecary Diaries Just a chill Sherlock Holmes puzzle type of anime, it’s fun to watch.

5. Yaiba manages to capture that Dragon Ball type of feel, I’ve enjoyed this a ton.

6. Bet I’ve heard a lot of bad things about this Kakeguri adaptation but I actually really enjoyed it.

Clothing

I ended up buying some new clothes.

My current ones are pretty old so this was needed…

Grabbed about 3 joggers and 5 t-shirts.

They’re all pretty similar but one of them looks scaringly close to an Elijah Mundy fit…

Take care guys!

This June is going to be great!
