24.01.2022 A big thank you to Merrin Martin from Active Anatomy - Health Professional Workshops for taking Brendan Close - Personal Training - BASc through a fantastic workshop yesterday. Bridging the gap between the clinical world and gym setting is something anyone serious in this industry should be supporting. This course in restoring optimal function following dysfunction or injury serves exactly that purpose.

21.01.2022 What an awesome way to welcome Steve as a new client here at Bodyology. Looking forward to future progress. ------------------------... Repost from Brendan Close - Personal Training - BASc - The best response to a before/after squat assessment I've seen to date. This was part of Steve's initial consultation this morning. Both squats were performed without technique advice - he was just instructed to do what felt natural. The first squat (left photo) was very challenging for Steve. He physically couldn't push depth as his quads felt very "tight" and his ankles locked up. The second squat (right photo) was performed following simple SMR to his plantar fascia (feet), calves, and quads. These are techniques that anyone can learn to do themselves using a foam roller, massage ball etc. Like anything though, simply trying to guess your way through it just doesn't work. See more

19.01.2022 I never get tired of following our clients epic adventures! This father and son combination trained super hard and dropped a lot of weight in preparation for their trip to the top of Africa.

16.01.2022 Brendan Close - Personal Training - BASc cueing his client from the St Pauls Football Netball Club to plank with INTENT. No point hanging out in this position unless you're going to do it properly!

15.01.2022 Most long-distance athletes and competitors (e.g. runners, cyclists, swimmers, triathletes) understand that in order to enhance their performance and cut times, they must improve athletic abilities such as muscular endurance, aerobic and anaerobic power, lactic acid tolerance, speed etc. What many long-distance athletes are less familiar with is that STRENGTH is the foundation of all such athletic abilities. There is still a misconception that strength train...ing negatively affects other fitness parameters. This is NOT TRUE. The issue lies with a lack of understanding in the programming, type, and execution of strength training. Your own program should be formulated with a professional rather than randomly implemented by a friend or from a "health and fitness" mag. This applies to athletes across all sports. Tag a mate whose lack of strength is holding back their performance! See more

15.01.2022 Some great tri training programs available from Sansego. Learn some of the training sessions completed by Craig Alexander prior to his 3 Hawaiian Ironman titles

14.01.2022 These are the results from the VO2 max test Brendan Close - Personal Training - BASc performed last Friday. If you have the impression this test is purely a means of bragging to your mates about your higher VO2, then you a badly mistaken! Three key pieces of information have been circled in the image:... Blue - Aerobic Threshold: The point at which anaerobic pathways (i.e without oxygen) start to be a part of energy production. Red - Anaerobic Threshold: The point at which your body doesn't have significant oxygen to meet the demands and you must use anaerobic energy sources which produce lactate. Orange - Peak VO2: The maximal capacity of your system for this given test. These thresholds are then plotted against both your heart and calorie consumption rate, providing invaluable data for those wishing to target specific energy systems/training zones, prepare dietary plans etc. Stop estimating and start accurately managing!

08.01.2022 Brendan Close - Personal Training - BASc discusses the benefits from analysing your resting metabolism here at Bodyology. -------------------- ~ WHY ANALYSE RESTING METABOLISM?... a) Because cookie-cutter calorie control methods don't cater for your individual characteristics/aspirations. I had a good laugh recently when I read recommendations from a TV PT to follow his 2-4-5-1-1-1 method of calorie consumption to lose weight. Essentially he suggests to eat 200 calories at breakfast, 400 at lunch, 500 at dinner, and three 100 calorie snacks throughout the day. As you can see from my own test results above - 1400 total calories a day would place me, as well as many others, in the "medically supervised zone" for calorie deficit. b) The online BMR calculator that you have used is probably way off I plugged in my age, weight, height, and sex into a number of the websites. They were all 400-500 calories under what my actual RMR is (circled in above). This is a huge discrepancy. c) Identify your main source of fuel at rest By evaluating your respiratory exchange ratio (circled in above), we can work out whether you are predominantly a fat or carbohydrate burner at rest. This allows you to look beyond simply using calorie intake when planning your nutrition. d) Clarity in knowing what you are doing is right Too often we are chasing the fastest way to get results. Don't get caught up following advice from sources such as the newspaper or magazines. If you need help, seek it from a professional. - #regrann See more

08.01.2022 Apologies to anyone trying to email us or access our website! Our web hosting company (webcity) has been down for last 48hours which means all of these things have been down. We've been told it will all be back online later today. So please be patient, we will get back to everyone

07.01.2022 Great to see football athletes continue to push themselves in-season. Here we have Jordy Bull from De La Salle Old Collegians Amateur Football Club working under the guidance of Brendan Close - Personal Training - BASc. Strength is a classic case of "use it or lose it". Most seasons last for longer than 20 weeks - if you don't continue to train (other than run) your strength will deteriorate. There are ways to manage load/intensities throughout the course of the season to ensure you can maintain strength/power but still be primed for game-day.

06.01.2022 Lacking the drive to start working towards your goals? It's amazing what can happen when you make the commitment with a friend, family member or partner. Improve your physical performance with our 2-on-1 personal training.

05.01.2022 Following up from a recent post discussing the 'windlass mechanism' in your foot - here we have Michael Begg performing single leg calf raises with support agai...nst the wall. Michael has been instructed to: Drive the movement through his big toe Raise as high as possible with a slightly bent knee (to engage deep/stabilising calf muscles) Pause at the top Lower down as slow as possible What we DON'T want to see is: Weight shifting to the outer side of the foot Ankles rolling out Feet turning out Knees locking out In this particular case, the purpose of the drill is to build strength through the arch and deep stabilising muscles of the lower leg, whilst also reprogramming the movement to be driven by the big toe. Note - this is a progression. Michael demonstrated he was competent on two feet with hands against the wall, before going unassisted, prior to completing this exercise. Our goal is to have him performing these single leg without support. See more

03.01.2022 Great to have Michael back at Bodyology!

02.01.2022 A snap from the humble beginnings in December 2015. This client and I have manage to smash it out in the gym twice a week. Along with a balanced lifestyle and d...iet with the addition of Altitude Training @bodyologypps , we have kicked some huge goals. Dropping weight and increasing muscle mass for a huge drop of over 15% body fat. Regular strength increases to come. Due to the addition of her altitude chamber sessions is looking forward to a half marathon on the Great Wall. As we achieve one goal we adapt and create another. The further we are pushing her goals the greater the success Ashina Phekoo is having. Join her now or go our website www.bodyologypps.com.au and check out our huge new introductory offer 50% OFF first 8 sessions See more

02.01.2022 Get in quick before this deal expires with one of our personal trainers - Brendan Close - Personal Training. ~ TRAIN WITH A MATE/DATE (OCTOBER DEAL) Get started training with your best mate, date, wife/husband, brother/sister, or whoever is going to push you to improve this October... and your first three sessions will be HALF-PRICE.... From speaking to those I currently train in this format, 2-on-1 pushes you to work at a higher intensity (i.e. get competitive), keeps you accountable, and allows you to spend time together that you otherwise wouldn't if you exercised separately. PM for further details! T&C's: * New clients only * The first session will be an initial consultation carried out individually (at half-price) rather than in a pair - #regrann See more

02.01.2022 Ben was lucky enough to be interviewed by the guys last night! Follow the guys at a sporting discussion for a great little show on the week in sport!

01.01.2022 How inspiring is this guy? Steve came in to use our altitude chamber in order to prepare for his Mt Kilimanjaro challenge. Not only is he embarking on the task of climbing 5,985m but he has also raised over $20,000 for the Leukaemia foundation in the process. He is jetting over in the coming days so we just wanted to wish Steve and his team all the best from Bodyology PPS.... Can't wait to hear how it all goes.

01.01.2022 Here's in an insight into what it's like working with our trainers. ----------------------- @Regrann from Brendan Close - Personal Training - BASc - I'm a big fan of the dead bug as it educates the individual to become aware of postural alignment while also developing core strength. ... However - a regular dead bug (with opposite arm and leg extending simultaneously) can be problematic if you have restricted range through your shoulders and thoracic spine (e.g. lifting the mid-part of your back in order to fully extend the shoulder). This is a great variation that allows the individual to focus soley on maintaining control of the lumbar spine, while pressing into the swiss ball with both arms and legs creates an additional stress on the core. A dead bug is not just "air" back-stroke, it involves a great deal of postural awareness to ensure proper alignment. See more
