25.01.2022 Happy birthday Zac attack Templeton. I thought I would include some footage of you doing some low- handle Trap Bar Deadlifts seeings you loved them so much.

23.01.2022 Honoured to say a few words about this guy, Rod Venn, as he had life membership bestowed upon him this afternoon. Very well deserved mate - thank you for your service to the club.

23.01.2022 Garage workout with Sarah Wilson - finishing the session with some walking lunges up the hill.

22.01.2022 Twenty years plus since this bloke has been under 90kgs! Simon started his journey with Chief Training around 102kgs. With some lifestyle changes and commitment to training Simon is enjoying his journey and his family are very proud of him. Congratulations Simon!

22.01.2022 Thinking of changing my business name to Chief Cleaning. Thoughts? #Fridaynightcleaning

22.01.2022 Some wise words from the Doc.

22.01.2022 On the phone on a Sunday night to one of the top strength and conditioning coaches in Australia, nutting out training blocks before the competition season for an athlete coming back from a major injury and surgery. #learnfromtheexperts #researchandpreparation

22.01.2022 When your most knowledgeable mentor learns heaps off someone, there’s a good chance they might be able to teach you a thing or two as well. Two days at The College of Health and Fitness learning about hypertrophy, strength, periodisation, structuring and training program and more. So much to learn once I got over the fact that one of my fellow seminar attendees could literally deadlift more in kgs than I could in pounds

21.01.2022 Have you ever had a sweet craving at night - even if your dinner was ample? This can be a nasty little time to derail your fat loss nutrition - you know the story - eat well all day and then go to town on anything sweet you can get your hands on. Try this as a little remedy to the problem- high in protein and low in fat and carbs. Can be mixed with water or milk. You don’t need much of either, but milk does make it taste better. However, if you can’t spare the few extra calories or extra lactose etc, just add water. P.S - tastes better if you chill it off in the fridge for a while.

20.01.2022 From size 112cm shorts to size 97cm shorts falling down because they are too loose. Very proud of Jason - leaner, fitter and stronger. What a power couple he and Christine Maher are.

20.01.2022 Sometimes personal training is a real kick in the guts.

19.01.2022 To think where this lady has come from is amazing. The exercise options I had available to me to program for her years ago were limited. Today, we see Christine Maher executing a dumbbell Romanian deadlift with great technique. It’s not just about the huge amounts of weight she has lost, she has made progressions in numerous areas of her life. Proud of you Christine. #wherethereisawillthereisaway #ptaccountability #areyouaccountable

19.01.2022 You gotta love it when you’re eating breakfast on the deck on a Sunday morning and your client messages you:

18.01.2022 Saturday night chill time watching Selling Sunset Season 2 with the fire taking the chill out of the air. Who else is addicted to this show? #44milliondollarhome #teamchrishell

18.01.2022 When Coach Matt Smith gives an online masterclass from the UK at midnight until 1.45am local time, you get on the train. #energy #state #mindset #gratitude

18.01.2022 Whipped up this little brew to give to energy for my afternoon clients. Thanks Christine and Jason for the gift.

18.01.2022 Have a look in the comments section to find a photo of when Christine first started working with me. Same cable station, dozens and dozens of hard personal training sessions later. This is one of the hardest working clients I have ever trained.

18.01.2022 Proud moment seeing my sis represent the NZ Barbarians in the Touch Rugby League World Cup. South Africa scored in the last 15 seconds to draw the game

17.01.2022 Constructing an adjustable bench purchased from Sportspower Gympie today. Locals supporting locals. This will go well with my trap bar, adjustable dumbbells, barbells, prowler, sled, combat trainer, battling ropes, tractor tyre, sledgehammer, medicine balls, resistance bands, plyometric boxes, captain’s chair, chin up bar, tornado ball and more! Rolling with the punches.

17.01.2022 Unfortunately gimmicks, fat burning powders, magic pills and lotions, and lemon detox diets will continue to thrive whilst peolle look for the elusive silver bullet.

17.01.2022 Just getting back into some deadlifting after 2 years off due to a lower back issue and this is what my pants think of my heaviest set. #pleasesewthembacktogethersarah

17.01.2022 When you aren’t the cheapest personal trainer going around but your client pays extra, knowing it’s been a challenging time.

17.01.2022 So, this appeared on my client’s Facebook page... Thanks to Craig's tireless encouragement and ability to figure out a workout despite all of my physical limits I have lost 15kgs, more if you include all the yoyoing so in total I have lost 25kgs. Now hopefully I won't put anymore back on like I have in the past Thanks Craig .

17.01.2022 Women should not lift heavy weights - little 1 kg hand weights for toning is all they need #ladiescanpickupheavythingstoo #hammercurlsforthewin

17.01.2022 Gym etiquette 101 - unload your plates after you have finished using a machine. I unloaded this one after my evening workout - it took around 30 seconds. That’s not a long time, but it could save a member of the gym an injury as these 20 kg plates are too heavy for some to remove safely. From this height, a dropped plate could easily break a metatarsal (think bones in your feet).

16.01.2022 First time in over 10 years that Jason has been in double digits - he cracked the 100 kg barrier today! When I suggested that we enlist the help of Tony Attridge (a sports nutritionist and Australian World Fitness Federation Bodybuilding team member) to look after his nutrition plan, he was a little skeptical at first, but gave it a shot. Jason’s discipline has paid off - he was very happy this morning, as was his partner Christine (who has now lost over 75kgs) who smiled on... in the background of the photo. Jason plans to celebrate by going out and buying a new pair of slacks that will not fall off him! Well done Jason.

16.01.2022 People can argue technicalities with you over stuff like this, but most people look at these and agree, there is something just not right about it.

16.01.2022 The next time a client complains about me sitting on the sled when they pull it I’m going to whip out this footage that Cameron Sullivan shared.

15.01.2022 When your clients Jason Andrew Myatt and Christine Maher get you a Christmas present so I don’t even have to talk during our PT sessions - just point to the shirt.

14.01.2022 First zoom PT session done and dusted!

14.01.2022 FREE Gympie Music Muster ticket with every volunteer shift done on the Blues Bar! This is Valleys Cricket Club major fundraiser for the year to help keep our fees affordable for everyone to play. You may have as much fun serving with club legends as you do listening to the music. Comment below, PM me or contact Valleys Cricket Club to find out how you can secure your ticket.

14.01.2022 So proud of the progress of this lady. It’s not all just about the massive amounts of weight she has lost, but also all the new activities she can partake in. When Christine started, I couldn’t get her to perform a Fitball supported wall squat efficiently -now she performs various deadlift, squat and split squat variations. Here we are working on the execution of the trap bar deadlift. Absolute legend!

13.01.2022 Can’t afford weekly PT sessions but still want guidance to help keep you on track with your programming? Jaeger supplemented his individualised program with some PT sessions, but the mainstay of his exercise was consistently adhering to the program I designed for him. The result? He is down 13 kgs and is the leanest I can ever remember him being (said he hasn’t been this light for 4 years). Interested? PM me.

11.01.2022 When your clients try to bribe you with marshmallow slice (homemade marshmallow what’s more), but you still hammer their quads anyway. Apparently these are to share with the family- but maybe I should do my family a solid, and make sure they don’t consume the sugar, and eat all four pieces myself (it is Father’s Day this Sunday after all).

11.01.2022 Happy birthday to my awesome work colleague and friend Kelly! Because you always order chicken when we go out - here is some I prepared earlier!

11.01.2022 Morning walk and education time in God’s country. What a day!

11.01.2022 Three to go! Like my other clients, Abby seems to think I can’t count properly. Whilst counting might not be my strength, I can help people progress with their fitness goals. Abby has over doubled the weight of her floor press in just 3 weeks! I am sure her parents Shane Templeton and Julie Templeton are proud of their daughter!

11.01.2022 Such a great example of commitment and consistency. Worked all night at the hospital, not feeling it and still came in and punched out her PT session before going home for a well-earned sleep. #legend

10.01.2022 Jason getting put through his paces with some 94kg sled pushes. A year ago, he wouldn’t have gotten through a fraction of what he managed today. Definitely one of the Jetts legends!

10.01.2022 No workout tonight, but instead collecting my sandbags, sled (my clients will be glad to know), agility ladder and all sorts of other equipment, to set up my space in response to the enforced closure of gyms. Thankfully I have loads of equipment at home, as well and plenty of iron. So many laughs and so much hard work (and lets face it - a lot of talking) have taken place within these walls, and some huge physical transformations. But this will not be forever - and our franc...hise owner owns the building! We will be back! To all my colleagues in the personal training game, this is a huge curve ball, I know it’s a tough enough industry to succeed in within Gympie as it is, but your clients will need you now more than ever. I know I have appreciated the loving support of my wife Sarah, my manager Krystle Hardie, the franchise owner Michael Knights and my clients who have stuck by me and are willing to keep supporting me as I support them through this tumultuous time (you know who you are guys - and that means heaps to me). We will get through this, sometimes we just need someone to remind us.

09.01.2022 Abby and Shane Templeton making it a family affair.

09.01.2022 ... nearly all overweight/obese people have difficulty maintaining weight loss. In most persons, one third to two thirds of their lost weight will be regained within the first year, and that the rate of regain does not diminish as time elapses, with an estimated 66% of lost weight regained within 2 years and 95% regained within 5 years (16,35).* After losing 70 odd kilograms, Christine is determined not to let this happen to her, so she has kept up the practice of regular p...t sessions - smart lady and a very valuable member of Jetts. *(from Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. 40(10):1781-1788, OCTOBER 2008 DOI: 10.1249/MSS.0b013e31817d8176 , PMID: 18799988 Issn Print: 0195-9131 Publication Date: October 2008)

08.01.2022 Emptying some bins at the gym. I think Nate has been here as the floors are freshly vacuumed and I see the Total War empty sachet in the bin

08.01.2022 You have to love when your client still has a sense of humour whilst goblet squatting.

08.01.2022 First workout of the new year sorted for my clients

08.01.2022 This legend is in a moon boot, but he hasn’t let that turn into an excuse for not training. There’s nearly always something you can do.

07.01.2022 Christine Maher receiving her $100 David Jones voucher at the Chief Training canapé evening. The award recognised her outstanding dedication to training, amazing progression of strength and endurance, and the ability to implement my advice. Congratulations Christine Maher. Photos of the amazing food prepared by Sarah Wilson to come.

06.01.2022 The benefits of continuing to exercise whilst pregnant are innumerable - that’s why I am proud that this lady has continued with her sessions. There are modifications to programming that should be made for a pregnant lady, and these will depend on what trimester she is in.

06.01.2022 I used to get teased sometimes when cleaning in the gym - not today!

06.01.2022 The things I go through to give my clients some decent weight to lift. #ChiefCleaning

06.01.2022 With gyms shut (), some of us are fortunate enough to have a tonne of equipment at home. However, some people only have resistance bands, or even only one resistance band. This does not mean that you have to violate the training principle of progressive overload. When starting out using a band, place your feet together or even just place one foot on the band if two feet is still too difficult. To progress, you can separate your feet and create more tension on the resistanc...e band. In the video below, the first 8 repetitions are with my feet together, but in the last 8 repetitions, I have spread my feet apart, making the reps more challenging. Just make sure that there is even tension on both sides - it can be quite easy to accidentally make one arm experience more tension than the other, which is generally not what we want (save for perhaps a few rare exceptions).

06.01.2022 This bloke likes to work hard, and realises that the Christmas period doesn’t need to mean 6 weeks of deconditioning and sitting on the couch.

05.01.2022 Push ups are a great choice for chest development when your access to equipment is limited. However, a standard push up doesn’t suit everyone’s current strength levels, so take one minute out of your day to read this short article from the CEO of The College of Health and Fitness, Tony Attridge, about research done by Ebben (2011) on push up progressions and regressions.

05.01.2022 I love getting into the minutia and nuances of fat loss, but it becomes far too easy to focus on the latest supplement, a certain meal timing, or macronutrient combination that we don’t major on the majors. Stop worrying about which is the best fat burning supplement if you don’t have the big rocks of nutrition, sleep and exercise in place. I know I can be guilty of missing the forest because of the trees.

04.01.2022 Any of my clients up for some Olympic lifting? Youch!

04.01.2022 When your wife once again excels herself for my birthday.

04.01.2022 Sunday night learning. Family has hopped into their beds - time to digest some information from the experts.

04.01.2022 Decisions decisions

03.01.2022 Well, Jason Andrew Myatt decided to make it formal and have Christine Maher at his side for the rest of his days! Christine takes her ring off for PT sessions so the rock doesn’t weigh her arm down. Congratulations guys. Fiercely loyal clients and soon to be spouses!

03.01.2022 Post workout feed. Asian spiced chicken to go with a delicious salad made from wifey.

02.01.2022 Jason had an Archilles tendon issue, and it meant there was certain things he couldn’t do. However, there were hundreds of things he still could do in the gym. With a bit of creativity and knowledge of functional anatomy, I was still able to give Jason a training effect. Work within the parameters that your health professional gives you, but always look for what you can do rather than what you can’t. Don’t use injury as an excuse to do nothing! Proud of Jason for not using his leg as an excuse.

02.01.2022 In the hustle and bustle of life, there are few better medicines for your body than chilling with your family. #rejuvenate #prongercantile

01.01.2022 Locally grown AND delivered to your door. Wow!

01.01.2022 Happy birthday to my great mate Alan Muston and the strongest guy 60 years and over you’re ever likely to meet. On top of his outrageous feats of strength, he is a champion bloke and someone I am glad to call a friend and a mentor.

01.01.2022 Are you a female who has lost weight and put it all back on again (maybe several times and with interest)? Nearly midnight on a Friday after another Broncos loss, and here I am reading from a study that looks at what could be a very important key that minimises the chances of a weight rebound happening.

01.01.2022 Away for a couple of days with the family, but now we are home and they are in bed. #latesession #open24hours #maketimeforyourself #mentaldefragtime

01.01.2022 Night time workout after I trained and measured my clients - and look what I came out to. #therainiscomingthisweek
