24.01.2022 You aren't born with flat feet, your muscles are just weak, tight or both. We can train them just like any other muscles and make them swole again. We might not be able to do curls but there is still plenty of exercises to strengthen the arch.

19.01.2022 GOALS : Carolyn Rockin has been deadlifting well away from our pt sessions and consistently adding kg’s to the bar. It was time to test it out and she had a goal weight of 120kg but managed to stand up 130. I was really happy with Carolyn’s form during testing and she only just missed some heavier attempts. The training program for the day was: 1RM Deadlift 5x10 Wide stance box squat 4x10 GHD crunch... SS GHD Russian twist 4x10 Single leg press 4x10 Single leg hamstring curl See more

18.01.2022 MOBILITY UPDATE : Everyone is becoming more aware about what sitting for long periods of the day can do to their bodies. I’ve spent a lot of time sitting, for 7 years I pushed a mouse around in front of a computer and then decided to do Olympic lifting. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and because of the long road I’ve taken I can show you what to do and what not to do. 2 years ago I was at my strongest but then it all came crashing down, my body was a broken mess. It was time ...to dial everything back and work on my weaknesses, build a strong base, increase my mobility, change my quad dominance and build a strong posterior chain. You quickly learn mobility is king when it comes to Olympic lifting. You can only pull a bar so high, if you can’t get under it right at the bottom of the squat you limit your max potential to far less then you may be capable of. This also carries over to general populations training, if your body doesn’t work or move correctly you limit your potential while increasing your risk of injury. I can find your restrictions and then we can attack them with stretching and mobility exercises. When we increase joint range of motion we effectively create joint instability, the reason being the body is not used to being in this new increased range of motion position and therefor is not strong. Like all training patience is the key, once you have range the next step is to build strength and stability in your increased range. Build a strong base, you can keep lifting heavy but eventually something will have to give, I’ve been there. If only I knew back then what I know now. This video of my overhead squat shows just how far my mobility has come but I’m still chasing more range. In 2015 I released there was a problem, in 2016 the work was underway and in 2017 the results came. It has taken me a long time but I have 1 client who has taken far less time to improve his range and I’ll be showing his results soon.

08.01.2022 I won’t forget the conversation I had with a surgeon after his first attempt at fixing my knee failed. It was 6 months after the first operation that I sat in his office with the same problem. You’re going to have to stop what you’re doing and have surgery again or you’ll need knee replacements when you’re older. He gave no advice on the other options available, the only option was to pay for surgery from him. I left his office and never went back. There are a lot of other options available.
