The work itself.
The focus of a set. The feel of a movement. Time spent getting to know what I can do with the weights.
The personal sideStrength.
THOMALEX / STRENGTH & BODYBUILDING
Strength.
Built over time.
A deep interest in lifting weights.
A lasting love for bodybuilding.
The training, the physique, and the process behind both. This is the part of my life that happens in the gym — and a place to keep a record as it develops.

01 / THE WORK
More than
a session.
Lifting weights and bodybuilding are a real passion of mine. I enjoy the physical effort, but also the attention to detail: how a movement feels, how a physique develops, and how individual sessions become part of something longer.
The classic bodybuilding imagery is part of the appeal. The Arnold photograph above captures the training behind the physique — an aspect of that era I wanted to make room for here.
The bigger picture.
Muscle, proportion, and the detail of building a physique. An interest that goes beyond a single number on a bar.
Something to look back on.
A training log gives the sessions a place to live. I'm beginning to build mine on Hevy, one entry at a time.
