24.01.2022 We've just launched our first eBook! https://www.formidablestrength.com.au/ebooks Swimming Strong is a 12 week program for Open Water Athletes that will help you get the most out of your open water swimming. ... 'But how?' you ask?? This program helps build strong upper backs & external rotators, we develop crushing grip strength and we teach people how to effectively control the muscles of the trunk to resist external movement. Swimming is close to our hearts, as we both competed in it at an national & international level, so being able to give back with our strength & injury prevention knowledge combined with our swimming experience is something we're both passionate about. #beformidable #swimmingstrong

24.01.2022 SUPER SATURDAY The team smashed out a tough work out this morning! But a lot of members are certainly feeling the effects of iso life.

22.01.2022 DON'T OVERSTRAIN WHEN YOU CAN GET MAD GAINS!! Make sustainable progress with our 2021 Kids and Youth Program this term 1! There is also currently an epidemic of early sports specialisation. Parents are sold the idea that their kids must do all this extra training to stay in front of the competition and succeed in their sport. They use people like Tiger Woods as examples of success stories, however these individuals are exceptions, not the rule. Competing in one sport year-rou...nd can lead to chronic overuse injuries and burnout. This can be somewhat combatted by exposing themselves to different movements ie. Playing multiple sports and increasing strength and resiliency in the gym. In fact, the large majority of professional athletes were multisport athletes growing up. For example, Michael Jordan, Allen Iverson, Tom Brady, Nic Natanui, Patty Mills, Scott Pendlebury and the list could go on and on. These individuals have the ability to take skills from each sport, as well as having a robust movement vocabulary from being exposed to different environments. To enrol in this program, hit us up on facebook, email or phone! We look forward to hearing from you soon! #beformidable

22.01.2022 Neck training? - Neck training isnt exactly common. It doesnt make you look better in bathers & a jacked neck isnt exactly what we strive for, so whats the point? In 2015, WWE wrestler TJ Wilson was dropped on the top of his head during a match, rupturing the ligament holding his C2 disc in place, doing severe damage to his spinal cord, an injury that paralyses ~95% of people and it temporarily paralysed him. The surgeon attributed Wilsons unfathomable recovery (and s...urvival) to the immense amount of muscle mass in his neck. He was back walking and training by the following year Thats an extreme example, but how does it relate to you? Well a Finnish University study found that over half of us suffer neck pain in our lifetime. WFH home anyone?! The same study concluded that an almost complete reduction in pain is possible by adding some form of neck training to an exercise program, over an extended period. It also increased neck range of motion by 75%. If youre interested in further benefits or ideas for neck training, hit me up! { @julian_ward95 during a wrestling match and him training his neck @fsc_northfreo} Jules @julian_ward95 #beformidable

15.01.2022 DON'T MISS OUR TERM 1 HOLIDAY YOUTH AND KIDS PROGRAM!!! Kids shouldn’t do resistance training, it stunts their growth. We’ve all heard this one before, yet, there isn’t any evidence to back this claim. However, there is plenty to refute it and the research shows the very opposite occurs when kids and adolescents engage in resistance training (correctly and under the guidance of professionals). Our coaches have created our kids and youth program to build and develop on the s...kills necessary for gym competency! It's not too late to sign up! Enquire now via facebook, email or phone! #beformidable

14.01.2022 Build STRENGTH, build POWER, build up our next generation!!! Formidable Strength and Conditioning is still accepting kids and youth for our Term 1 Kids and Youth Programs! These programs will run all the way through term 1 from the 1st of February to the 1st of April!... The research shows that resistance training can help improve bone mineral density (BMD), which is critical in this stage of a kid’s development as this is when they are able to make the biggest changes and be resistant against issues down the track such as osteoporosis. Furthermore, resistance training is great for helping to build lean body mass and keeping non-lean body mass at healthy levels. Resistance training and exercise in general has also shown to have a positive impact on brain development as well as improving their movement control! To start your child's health and well-being off on the right foot, enrol in our Kids and Youth Program for Term 1 of 2021 now! Don't hesitate to hit us up on facebook, email or phone! #beformidable

11.01.2022 CONSTRAINTS (pt 1) A constraint is simply a limitation or restriction. And in the context of training, it's specifically looking at movement constraints. . There are 2 types of constraints we incorporate in to training ... . . 1. Literal Constraints - Like box jumps. You have to jump high enough to land on the box . 2. Technical Constraints - Like measuring ground contact time (GCT). " GCT must be below X seconds" . Constraints simply act as guide rails as to how a movement should be performed. This allows the body to self organise in order to achieve the desired outcome. Adam @komatsuaa #beformidable

10.01.2022 We all have a bit of a competitive streak in us, so we always tend to try a little bit harder in a competition We're restricted to do this in our group sessions ATM, but luckily you can still compete against future you on the Train Heroic App With your FSC Club program available on the Train Heroic App, you can track your reps and volume every session and compete with your past self instead. ... We've only got about 10 FSC Club spaces left, so DM us to book in #beformidable

10.01.2022 Getting to the gym shouldn't be the worst part of your day . #beformidable

10.01.2022 Extensive plyometrics. . . Extensive plyometrics are sub-maximal plyometrics that are typically performed at lower intensity for longer durations, for example, skipping or pogo hops. These exercises allow for system loading to be sub-maximal but localised loading to still be demanding. .... . Sub-maximal exposure allows for tissue stress that isnt necessarily challenging the capacity to produce maximal effort but improves capacity to handle volume. The consistent exposure leads to adaption, eg. calluses vs blisters. . . Extensive plyometrics improve our: . Tissue capacity. . Tissue tolerance. . Technique. . Function. . Base .

08.01.2022 Well done to all of our Youth Program Participants! We've had a fantastic term 4 of Youth and Kids' programs being run throughout the end of the year! There was a mass amount of effort put in by each and every member and it was great seeing how much everyone has improved since the start of term. A few youth members deserve a special shout out for their exemplary performance throughout the term!... Congratulations to James Dawson (1), who won a Formidable Strength and Conditioning shirt for all of his efforts! Despite breaking his wrist and being unable to do some of the exercises, we modified the program so he could still take part, came to just about every session besides the couple after breaking his wrist. Improved his strength and coordination even with a dodgy wrist. Paddy (2) received his T-shirt for being super consistent and great improvement throughout the term, cranked out 33 straight push ups and 38 straight inverted rows with good technique this week. Jack (3) from our Freo gym was awarded our Freo youth program participant of the year. Jack was chosen due to his significant improvement in attitude, focus and of course strength over the last 2 terms. Jack didn’t miss a session and thus reaped the rewards with phenomenal improvements across the board. Jack is the very definition of you get out what you put in. Well done, boys! We look forward to a new and improved term with all of you and the rest of the Formidable Strength team!

08.01.2022 Constraints (Part 2). . Here's how we make you learn, without you realising your learning . . Movement constraint = when the body self organises to achieve the desired outcome/goal, ie. figures out the best way to do it. ... . The less we can coach, the better. It sounds lazy, but by giving instructions and making you think about what you're doing, this often slows down the learning process. So we use external cues to do the training for us . For example, if we want you to have a long penultimate step we could either tell you to extend the stride (internal cue) or put cones out which you need to get over (external cue). The cone guarantees a long penultimate step and you don't consciously think about doing it. The body self organises and learns the best way to complete the task. . Hope you learnt something Adam @komatsuaa #beformidable See more
