About Stronger Without

Hi, I’m Adam Hugill an ex-military, world cyclist, and someone who's learned that true strength often comes not from what we add to our lives, but from what we choose to remove.

After 12 years as a British Army officer and 500 days cycling around the world, I came home searching for more than adventure. I wanted clarity, purpose, and a life that felt aligned.

That journey led me to remove alcohol, leave social media, and rethink how I define strength, masculinity, and success.
Stronger Without is where I share what I’ve learned - and continue to learn - along the way.

This newsletter is for high-performing men (and those who love them) who are quietly struggling with distraction, disconnection, or outdated habits.
Each week, I share honest reflections, tools, and stories on:

  • Sobriety

  • Simplicity

  • Mental clarity

  • Fitness after 35

  • Identity and purpose

I write about structure, strength, clarity, and the discipline of slowing down. I once cycled around the world. Now I’m learning how to be still.
