19.01.2022 This week I was able to reasonably hit 2x4 @82.5kg on my deadlift @danieldpt I have always had poor hip mobility which causes tight lower back. Recently I was also diagnosed with a left labral hip tear which means all hip hinging movements ie. Squats, deadlifts, hip thrusts are performed with a limited or altered range of motion. What this means is that I need to be extra vigilant with how I perform these movements and supplement them with the appropriate accessory... Work. What this doesn't mean is that i have to abandon these lifts entirely. The reality is our genetics and biomechanics greatly influence how we move and progress, however if you continually practice moving with the correct technique, and within the appropriate range your body allows there is no reason why you can not continue to improve both your mobility and strength.

12.01.2022 Spent the last 3 days exploring Byron Bay and neighbouring towns for the first time. Met so many people originally from Sydney, Melbourne and other big towns who have given up the stress of big city living for a more simplistic way of life. Sacrificing high paying jobs as coastal living is limited with such opportunities was easy to do for a life that offers peace and stillness. There is something to be said about less is more!

07.01.2022 You don't have to be the best to get results you simply need to be consistent. I agree that genetics most definitely effects the level of effort required, or not required to produce results, this is evident in the class room and on the gym floor. This can seem unfair I realise, however you can not negate that being consistent with your efforts will improve whatever it is you are trying to achieve, academically or athletically. Be patient and consistent and results will eventuate.

04.01.2022 Thicker but stronger! Within your fitness journey your goals will change but with that you must also align your expectations to suit those to avoid dissatisfaction. If you are training for strength or hypertrophy ( muscle building ) then living in a calorie defecit isn't optimal, higher calories will help fuel performance and growth.... Doing HIIT consistently with the hope of building lean muscle and developing strength isn't desireable either. Infact this type of training has a catabolic effect on muscle. Hoping to improve endurance without implementing any type of cardio almost seems pointless. As your fitness goals change so should your training protocol, calorie consumption, and body composition.

02.01.2022 I get asked quite frequently " how many calories should I be eating to lose X amount of kgs"? This question is almost like saying how long will it take to purchase this house without having any current budget. Dieting is a numbers game. To know where you want to end up you must first know what you're starting point is. This is where I am in favour of tracking calories. Knowing what my client's are consuming will enable me accurately estimate how much of a caloric defecit nee...ds to implemented, and for how long. As mentioned many times previously tracking calories also teaches my clients the caloric value of foods which enables them to maintain their weightloss they've worked so hard to achieve.
