A transformation focuses on the physical but what makes these pictures special to me is the mental aspect of @ollymurs journey in the last 5 months. In all honesty, he’s done this physical transition before, several times. But after his last leg operation 6 months ago Olly wasn’t the bundle of energy & optimism that he had been previously. Having got himself in amazing shape in 2021 & ready to hit the road complications with Olly’s knee (from an ACL injury over a decade ago) began to arise & the really tough decision to go back ‘under the knife’ was taken. Olly was now on crutches for weeks & when I went round there to train he doubted he could ever get into the shape & attain the fitness levels he’d had only months earlier. Some sessions weren’t as they’d been before, with Olly recently telling me he’d be so pissed off when I’d ask him to do chin ups etc during the the sessions. But even though the atmosphere in a few of our sessions was tense Olly showed up every Monday & Friday. Brick by brick this started to change, the artist I’d known who always challenged himself during our sessions began to resurface. The music got a little louder, the training top got a little looser & it wasn’t long before Olly added a boxing session & a swim session to his training. He was self motivated. Adding a weekly session at @viphq_essex to the mix too. Last week we talked about this mental journey & I appreciated his honesty & ability to be candid. So to me these pictures mean little, what means a lot is to have the energy, confidence, happiness & belief back in @ollymurs Someone who brightens the room for so many people. Olly I’m super proud of you, you did this, you make stuff happen (11:11) & I can’t wait for the world to hear your new album. Not forgetting all of Team Murs. John Green physio (king of the rowing machine), @dansargeant.performancechef whose supplements & cooking definitely helped get through the ‘hump.’ And of course the future Mrs Murs @tankintraining whose macro discipline, example setting & constant love & motivation made this picture happen. #ollymurs #youlooklikeken #physicaltransformation #mentaltransformation #brickbybrick #builttolast
