17.01.2022 So first y’all should follow @bretcontreras1 because he puts out great information that’s all evidence based and demonstrates all the positive characteristics of the fitness industry 2nd: if you have a target amount of food to hit for the day and have a social event that’s going to include a large amount of calories his strategy here is effective and is one i use to great effect. Lower calorie protein based meals and calorie free caffeine sources are what keep me enjoying s...ocial situations without the need for stalling my fitness goals a day with off strategy calorie amounts. However many of the good things life’s made up out of involves food, so enjoying yourself a day here or there will make no significant long term impact on your health or goals. enjoy life every chance you get. Now watch me eat this whole cake #ironstrength

17.01.2022 Something I often see in the gym more as well as in daily life is a tendency to compare oneself to others. While personally I find this to be a pretty destructive habit I want to focus on it occurring in a gym/training setting Comparisons to other whether in physique or strength will always occur, after training many people it seems to affect some people more than others. ... In training some people will develop more muscularity faster that others, some will lose fat easier than others some will have nicer shapes to their bodies so and and so forth. There are tons of reasons that impact all these traits however genetics play a strong roll in all of them (maybe the biggest) Largely I find the discussion of genetics to be a waste of time. We can’t change them, we can however make the best us as possible. I always steer clients out of the genetics talk and into the creating the best habits/program/environment talk. In addition just because you may not be the most blessed with lifting weights or have the ultimate curves quickly good training can achieve excellent results in the long term and you may find in other aspects of life you are just as blessed All you have is what you can do and what you can’t do and its likely that you can do a hell of a lot. #ironstrength #genetics

16.01.2022 Should you train to failure? If you’re just starting to train (sub 1 year)there’s no need - you can make excellent progress without training to or even very close to failure! As you become more advanced failure training is very useful as a tool and some would argue completely necessary especially for more advanced trainees... Failure training should be structured into your program with a good reason behind it, not performed every set or every exercise. The most appropriate places to use failure training is on single joint exercises (like a curl or leg extension) or exercises that are simple in their execution. When more technical movements approach failure technique breaks down and injury risk increase. In addition becuase technique is inconsistent you will start to stall in progressing the movement as there is too much variability rep to rep. As someone who has set spotter arms up and taken squats to complete failure for a period of time I can anecdotally say it did not make me a better squatter and squats are the perfect example of a technical exercise. There is much to be expanded upon on this topic, as well as using failure in a training program, however I’ll make only one more point. If you are training under 3 times a week you are probably best served taking early sets close to failure and later sets to failure on all non technical movements eg - machine press/curls/face pulls

09.01.2022 There’s a lot of specifics to Hypertrophy training (muscle growth) and Hypertrophy training principals are the way to change someone’s physique the most efficiently. A two sentence guideline provided by Dr Mike for these principals - Do multiple, full range of motion sets of 5-30 reps that take 3-9 seconds each Take them close to failure where the targets muscles force production is the limiting factor and repeat this approach as often as you are recovered enough to do so ... These seems like a duh sentence for those who have been training for a while but I can almost assure that they a mis applied by 95% of trainees! Abide by these rules and watch the gainz happen

07.01.2022 Home Training - Chest Elevated Push Ups Push ups are a great movement until you become too good at them. ... For those training at home who need a harder training stimulus for their pecs the elevated push up is the go to, here’s what you do. . Standard push up position . Pull your shoulder blades back and squeeze them together, whenever you shoulder blades stop moving that’s your full range of motion. At that point you should have a nice pec stretch. . Pause, squeeze your chest and drive your hands into the floor hard. If they are still too easy, elevate your feet on something/slow the movement down/take short rests. No matter what your level these will add up. If you don’t have anything to put your hands on sandbags from Bunnings work fine, they are 7$ for a 20kg bag which will give you enough height!! #hometraining #chest #pushup
