In this, first ever solo episode, Thomas shares his journey of competing in two powerlifting meets back to back, battling a back injury, and cutting 6kg in 6 weeks in a bid to qualify for Nationals. It was a grueling process—training through Christmas, New Year's, his birthday, and a bachelor party trip—all leading up to a final meet where he fell just short of his goal.

If you've ever faced setbacks in lifting, injuries, or even life goals, this one's for you.
