Well into my 30’s now, recovery times are even more crucial with my training, HOWEVER! I still feel we’re only just getting started.
I’ve been training consistently for around 8 years, but I’m still learning every day, I think that’s why I still love it. Training and bodybuilding is a world of discovery. As is my own disability, I’ve asked questions of it my whole life. I understood I have cerebral palsy, but I’m always asking what does it mean to me!
Take the trial and error of the gym. For YEARS I didn’t have the confidence to explore it, to push it and challenge and that was ok, I wasn’t ready – but then my what ifs turned into maybe if I tried this, someone with even more confidence asked me what if you tried that…
I took that advice and I’m trying to ask myself that to this day…
And I feel like I’m just getting started! There are more possibilities for growth, for exploration & for more accessibility every day!

It’s so inspiring that you’ve been training for so long, so diligently, in the face of your disability. Your blog is a treasure trove of wisdom and encouragement, and I’ll definitely be browsing it more in the coming days. Thanks for this, Matt!
Thank you Stuart!
