21.01.2022 Repetition builds experience ... Whilst experience develops confidence And it’s this confidence which is to the successful execution of ANY lift you plan to perform Taking on Barbell Squatting for the first time can be an incredibly daunting task for many people With the irrational fear of being pinned under a loaded barbell blocking your ability comfortably perform the movement Ironically making your execution clunky AF and any result you do achieve a shadow of what could have been IF you had the confidence to apply yourself properly #ASKAPEX #ApexStrengthSociety #StrengthThroughMovement #GrowthThroughKnowledge See more

18.01.2022 So you’ve been dedicating precious training time to your Bent Over Rows ... But try as you may you can’t seem to get them just right You feel it more in your arms than in your upper back And your lower back’s shit itself before you’ve been able to stuck into actually challenging yourself It’s time for a change of plans.. #ASKAPEX #ApexStrengthSociety #StrengthThroughMovement #GrowthThroughKnowledge See more

15.01.2022 The intensity or discomfort felt in a given stretch isn’t necessarily a reflection as to how effective it is ... Sometimes you can be forcing discomfort upon yourself just for the sake of it and not even realise it (you sadistic bastard) BUT there are some stretches which feel absolutely fucking awful And back that gross intensity up with just as much effective mobility improvements This is one stretch which will never feel pleasant but will always pack a huge beneficial punch #ASKAPEX #ApexStrengthSociety #StrengthThroughMovement #GrowthThroughKnowledge See more

15.01.2022 I can’t stay balanced when doing Bulgarian Split Squats ... No shit, you’re on one leg Bulgarian Split Squats are challenging enough when performed properly So you’re certainly NOT doing yourself any favours By kicking things off in the wrong start position If you’re positioned poorly before you’ve even started The only result you’ll achieve is looking like an absolute goose hoping around on one leg #ASKAPEX #ApexStrengthSociety #StrengthThroughMovement #GrowthThroughKnowledge See more

15.01.2022 Simply because an exercise is incredibly straightforward does NOT mean that it’s easy ... The starting difficulty when performing Pull Ups is exceptionally HARD for most people And forcing your body through a handful of repetitions Whilst expecting your efforts to be rewarded with any serious progress Will only leave you disappointed and looking like a dying hanging from a #ASKAPEX #ApexStrengthSociety #StrengthThroughMovement #GrowthThroughKnowledge See more

10.01.2022 How well you perform a given exercise will directly impact your results ... If you move like shit I’ll give you 1 guess as to the quality of your results you can expect.. It doesn’t matter if you did the reps If the technique used is absolutely rubbish Those reps you counted will account for fuck all gains #ASKAPEX #ApexStrengthSociety #StrengthThroughMovement #GrowthThroughKnowledge See more

10.01.2022 Replicating what you’ve seen other people doing in the gym can be a great way to expand your exercise tool kit ... BUT it does NOT at all guarantee that what you’re witnessing isn’t a complete waste of time There may be an understandable logic behind its perceived validity BUT a basic understanding of load, tension and gravity Make THIS particular exercise one for the scrap heap #ASKAPEX #ApexStrengthSociety #StrengthThroughMovement #GrowthThroughKnowledge See more

04.01.2022 The underpinning factor associated with good technique across ALL movements ... Is the ease in which you can move through a given exercises’ range of motion Without being restricted by your own body’s limitations The upper back (thoracic spine) is a notoriously chronically stiff and restrictive area of the body BUT addressing the limitations created by a restrictive upper back isn’t as arduous or complex as you may think #ASKAPEX #ApexStrengthSociety #StrengthThroughMovement #GrowthThroughKnowledge See more

03.01.2022 Knowing that Single Leg Romanian Deadlifts are great for unilateral leg development is one thing ... BUT being able to hinge from the hips Acutely load the hamstrings Maintain a tight core and neutral spine AND be able to do so in the face of accumulative fatigue All whilst balancing on one leg Is another thing altogether #ASKAPEX #ApexStrengthSociety #StrengthThroughMovement #GrowthThroughKnowledge See more

03.01.2022 Despite this year turning out to be a complete global clusterfuck ... It’s been a HUGE year for my squatting I’ve hit more PR’s than I could have ever imagined Reaching new heights with my 5RM and 3RM (220kg & 230kg respectively) Plus a stack of beltless, paused and volume PR’s Which have provided me with an incredible degree of focus Through what has been a weird AF (to say the least) 2020 BUT Nothing compares to breaking my all-time 1RM PR Which I’d set years ago but was never recorded so technically I didn’t happen, right This wasn’t at all planned for this day I was building up towards 240kg (my previous 1RM) but still felt I was a few weeks away from getting there Until everything just fell incredibly well into place I hit 3 singles at 230kg (my planned working sets) which all felt easy AF And as soon as I got a sniff of potentially having a crack at simply matching my 1RM It was fucking ON The video shows my top set progression: ~ 230kg (1st set) ~ 235kg ~ 240kg (matching previous 1RM) ~ 245kg (NEW 1RM) ~ 250kg (no bueno) I gave absolutely everything I had to match and then beat my previous 1RM I really didn’t expect the 250kg to come back up BUT just earning the right to attempt such a thing was the icing on what was already an incredibly delicious cake #ASKAPEX #ApexStrengthSociety #StrengthThroughMovement #GrowthThroughKnowledge See more
