25.01.2022 I don't know about you, but I see a large amount of people doing bent over barbell rows about 20kg too heavy, pretty much standing upright with the smallest amo...unt of ROM possible. It is understandable if you alter the amount of tilt based on targeting specific upper/middle back fibres, but, for the general population this is what I would class as an appropriate position to perform this movement. Brace the core tight, achieve a maximally retracted scapula position- without hitching the weight up with all kinds of funky momentum/dance movements and return to a dead stop in a slight protracted scap position for maximal stretch. Repeat. Stop standing upright! You're basically doing an awkward shrug without a fixed retracted scap- this will hurt you long term and provide little benefit for the desired result. I hope this helps some out there! #calculatedfitness #personaltrainer #kfmfitness See more

21.01.2022 Fun fact on protein. Eat your protein for maximal gains and maximal fat loss. With protein and overall calories equated, there is no evidence in healthy individ...uals that lower carbohydrate/higher fat is superior when it comes to fat loss. Don't believe the hype- a caloric deficit is the single most important factor. People that tell you otherwise are either ignorant of the facts or have an agenda to sell you. Eat sufficient protein, ensure you consume adequate fibre and essential omegas, then scale fat or carbohydrate intake up or done depending on preference or other important factors such as exercise/sports performance (more specifically carbohydrate intake). Do this effectively within the parameters of a total caloric intake and you will achieve results! Oh, don't forget to lift #calculatedfitness #protein #personaltrainer See more

21.01.2022 Nice little arm workout last night. I generally train arms twice per week, once on their own with more volume and heavier loads (shown here) and the second sess...ion with typically a little less volume, lighter loads for high reps and more metabolic stress type work. Last night was; 1. Tricep push down 5x6 2. Close grip bench press (tricep bar) 4x8 3. Smith machine body weight tricep extensions 3x8 4a. Prone dumbbell tricep kickback 3x10 4b. Overhead rope tricep extension 3x10 1. Tricep-bar hammer curls 4x6 2. Supine cable bicep curl 4x8 3. Single dumbbell preacher curl 3x8 e.s 4. Cable bicep curl 2x10+x2 drop sets #calculatedfitness #teamcalculatedfitness #personaltrainer #kfmfitness #biceps #triceps

21.01.2022 15 year old Soccer athlete @adzy.01 getting to work! Adzy initially came to SPR Conditioning early 2019 for his reoccuring shin splints which over time resolve...d allowing him to play pain free. After this he decided to continue into a strength and conditioning program at KFM fitness and high performance centre to develop key sporting attributes and above all remain injury free. Adzy is heading into a big preseason with @riversideolympicsc and feels more than ready for the challenges ahead. Here is a video of him completing a hip thrust exercises at 140kg. #changethegame #athletedevelopment #sprathletes #soccer #football

20.01.2022 The High Performance Centre Members Bar is open every Friday from 4pm for members, family & friends. Bar snacks will be provided and drinks at reasonable prices. This is a great way to unwind for the weekend, reward yourself for your efforts during the week and an opportunity to chat to other members & friends outside of your workout time.

20.01.2022 Give this superset a try next chest session! I like to stick this in towards the end of a chest workout after some bigger movements like barbell bench press or ...incline press etc. 1a. Seated cable chest fly x8 (maximum intent on fatiguing shortened position) 1b. Dumbbell floor flys x8 (loading the lengthened position through the eccentric phase) Repeat x2-3 I like the floor fly variation as it allows you to use a greater load than a conventional dumbbell fly- as you are limited by the load you can move during the concentric phase. Since during this superset we have achieved great stimulus loading the concentric phase, it allows us to focus entirely on the eccentric during the fly. This movement gives you an 'aid' from the floor to press the weight back to the start position, so your focus should be on a slow controlled eccentric phase- really load that stretch! This can help to tap into a whole new side of potential chest development, especially if it's never been a point of focus #calculatedfitness #personaltrainer #teamcalculatedfitness #kfmfitness See more

20.01.2022 Having a play with some singles on trap bar deadlifts today, after the first vid I remembered red makes you go faster, so I got them on there instead. I've want...ed to hit 4 reds a side for a while so I'm happy. Now I just have to do it conventional so people stop laughing at me like @kaiwoodfall in the background! 222.5kg top set or the equivalent of six elephants. See more

12.01.2022 Well done girls!

12.01.2022 For those that like to do Nordics but can't find a good place to lock the heels under, you may benefit from my version of it! Lock the back extension/glute-ham ...raise machine down to its lowest vertical and horizontal pin holes (bring it higher for beginners). A great exercise for sports people training eccentric hamstring strength-for both preventative and rehab. Enjoy! See more

11.01.2022 Exercise and machine optimisation series- part 6! Cable rope lat pull down/stiff arm lat pull down. There are a few variations of this movement, this is my pers...onal favourite of them. The idea here is for the lats to be active in forceful depression of the scapula. I maintain some elbow flexion to remove tricep innovation and my focus is to be initiating the movement through the shoulder blades. Try and maximise tension to the lats in the shortened position-getting the scap as low on the spine as possible, spending some time there. This degree of tilt at the hips allows me a nice full ROM through the stretch phase as well. Always remember to keep the core tight throughout. I have included a nice little giant set that I often perform on the cables on my secondary back day for a good amount of metabolic stress. (transition between exercises edited out for time constraints) 1a. Rope stiff arm lat pull down x10-12 1b. Bent over cable rope row x10-12 1c. Seated rope lat pull down x10-12 Perform 2-3x, no rest between exercises, 45sec rest between sets. #calculatedfitness See more

09.01.2022 Great to have basketball star Olivia West back from collage in the US for the past 6 weeks! All the best for the next year ahead

09.01.2022 How about Dusty popping into the gym this morning

08.01.2022 It's been fantastic having the Tigers Den Boxing club training out of the gym over the last couple of years! The club is going from strength to strength with a great bunch of coaches and boxers! It's been amazing to see Danni Clayton get to this point in what seems like such a short period of time but with hard work that's what happens! We wish you all the very best with the trip to India you little champion!!!

06.01.2022 I had a fun lower body session last night. One of the two I generally do per week, this was the more quad dominant workout- more volume and greater loads for q...uad movements to promote more mechanical tension and overall collective volume and muscle damage. High rep lower volume for posterior chain (hams and glutes) favouring movements, hitting more metabolic stress but not too fatiguing, accumulating some additional volume for frequency but minimising recovery time for the next session when I will prioritise hams and glutes. I did; 1. Barbell squat 4x6 2. Barbell squat- pause reps (3sec, as shown) 3x8 3. 45deg leg press 5x10 (slow, controlled tempo with maximal intent on tension in the shortened position) -5th set drop set x2 4. Smith machine split squat- 5sec eccentric phase 3x8 5. Rope pull through 3x15 6a. Machine prone leg curl 3x15 6b. Machine glute/ham raise 3x20 Give it a try for your next session if you like! #calculatedfitness #teamcalculatedfitness #legs #lowerbody #quads #kfmfitness See more

03.01.2022 One of my favourite exercises for deltoids at the moment. For me, this supine position helps me keep the scapula in a depressed position and takes out any upper... trap recruitment. Focus on maximum tension and intent in the middle deltoid fibres that originate on the acromion of the scapula, really targeting the fully shortened position. Give it a try! #calculatedfitness #teamcalculatedfitness #shoulders #deltoid #kfmfitness See more

01.01.2022 Great night for the tigers den boxing club! Well done guys
