25.01.2022 Sign that youre progressing which arent just about adding more weight @kuangfitness

24.01.2022 Ah the great outdoors. Even though were confined to our homes, use days like today to enjoy the sun when you can. Cant wait til I can hold pads again for my clients. Itching to get back into it

23.01.2022 Some great works spoken by @bpakfitness. Shifting the focus to the process of getting fitter, stronger and healthier, rather than the end result is an absolute game changer. Were often so focused on the end result, that theres no joy in the workouts and we give up because of that. Focus on the process and the results will come naturally.

23.01.2022 With restrictions slowly easing and gyms set to re-open soon, I am now opening up expressions of interest for people who want to get a head start on their training, who want a safe space to begin training or who want to learn more about training. My home gym is based in Berwick. Email: [email protected] ... A little about me: Ive been a trainer for over 6 years now and I absolutely love what I do. I prioritise education, I love teaching my clients about strength training and all aspects of health (physical and mental). Being able to have an impact on someones health, being apart of their journey and seeing them accomplish their goals is something I feel privileged to be a part of. Favourite Quote "Our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." See more

23.01.2022 Week 1 of the new program! Learning different cues and techniques to make my lifts more efficient and stronger. As you can see coach doggo is rather impressed Its not always easy changing how you lift or making tweaks to your technique; its a skill and skills take time to develop with your coach.... Song - Ive got a dream (Tangled) See more

21.01.2022 Disney home training take 2 (take 1 is on my stories ). 4 sets of bench complexes brought to you by a special blue friend in Agrabah. I wish for my bench to not be so terrible, what a waste of a wish though... just let me wish for a 200kg+ deadlift instead.

21.01.2022 Last weeks upper body accessories and something other than SBD Love the combo of dips and pullups, with a dance break in between with coach doggo. Song choice - Zero to Hero (Hercules)

21.01.2022 This news is quite devastating for all businesses who got a small taste of normality, please PLEASE keep supporting small businesses. Weve gotten through it before, we can do it again

20.01.2022 Be STRONG when you are weak, BRAVE when you are scared and HUMBLE when you are victorious. Last weeks training was average at best, my body felt tired and drained. It is what is, we all have these weeks, its part of the process. I still managed to complete all 3 sessions, even if it wasnt up to my high standards.... When I have rough training sessions like last week, the first thing I see when walking into my home gym, are these 3 words. They are etched in front of my squat rack. These words have had a significant impact on my outlook, not just for training but also in everyday life. This weeks a new week. If anyone needs help with their training, please dont be afraid to message me. See more

19.01.2022 Ironically posting this on a Monday Theres nothing special about Monday, a new week or new years. Every so often youll hear, "Ill start next week" or "Its not the right time." Truth be told, theres never a perfect time to start anything. Waiting for the right moment is something we tell ourselves when we dont want to commit. Unfortunately, sometimes we wait too long to take action and its not until something bad happens that kicks us into gear.... So ask yourself; If not now, then when? See more

18.01.2022 The good old plank! An underrated core exercise provided you do it correctly! Like any other exercise, execution is key Yes its an ab exercise but getting into the right position to actually feel your abs is another thing. Its also more of a full body exercise than you think as well. Here are my cues given to me by my coach:... Driving your elbows into the floor (actively engages your shoulders and back). Shift your ribcage in (like a crunch). Posterior pelvis tuck with each exhale of your breath. Keep your butt lower than your ribs. Full inhale through your nose, full exhale through your mouth. @kuangfitness @thestrengthschool @theboxchelsea See more

18.01.2022 For those who have made fitness resolutions, here are a few things to keep me mind. 1. Weight loss advertisements will be bombarded all over the media (have probably seen over 10 already), please for the sake of your body and health just ignore them. They promise quick weight loss which is unsustainable and all they care about is taking your money. 2. There are more goals related to health than just weight loss. Getting stronger, more energy throughout the day, improve ...self confidence and body image, better sex drive, just to name a few. 3. If you don't enjoy something you're more than likely to give up, so choose exercise you'll enjoy, whether it's running, weights, crossfit etc. 4. Don't overdo it the first month. I get you're excited about starting your fitness journey, but be smart and realistic with how you go about it. If you've never exercised, don't then go from zero to 100 because you'll either burn-out, injure yourself or just stop going. 5. Educate yourself and invest in a good coach. There's so much misinformation out there, having a coach will help provide accountability and valuable education about training methods and exercises to progress. See more

16.01.2022 Lifting is a skill. Skills take time to develop. It might not always be fun and it can definitely be frustrating at times when youre trying to learn a new skill. Ive been lifting for a while now and theres still so much I am learning. ... Take the time to develop your skills and knowledge about training. The technique, the cues, the process of progression, recovery etc. If youre wanting to learn more about lifting, I am taking on new clients at my home gym. Email: [email protected] See more

15.01.2022 Today was definitely one of those days where you take advantage of feeling good. Deadlifts were moving so smoothly. Not every session is going to be your best, and you need to take the highs with the lows. With that perspective in mind, when things are good, you can push a little bit harder or go a little bit heavier with the weight. When you arent feeling good for whatever reason, conserve your efforts, gauge what will be best for you and be okay with just an average session. In the long run, what matters most is consistency; play for the long game, not just a sprint.

15.01.2022 Pre covid times It's hard to believe gyms have been shut for almost 7-8 months now. Missing the community, the members and the mental and physical benefits the gyms provide.

14.01.2022 PT for bushfire relief Ive updated my proceeds so that all proceeds made will be split between @redcrossau and @wildlifevictoria. Remember, this is just for the month of January so if youre interested, send me a message and put your money towards a great cause. ... #australiaisburning @kuangfitness @theboxchelsea See more

14.01.2022 Soreness is not an indicator for a good workout, nor should it be an indicator of a good trainer. If the sole reason youre working out is to chase the feeling of soreness, let me tell you, its honestly not hard. Any trainer can make you sore, can make you feel exhausted and can make you sweat. 1000 rep workouts, minimal rest sets and the endless jump squats and jumping exercises, they arent hard to come up with or to execute as a trainer. This is why I think th...eres a difference between a trainer and a coach. Having a coach who actually gives a shit about you, who treats you as an individual, whos passionate about what they teach, who EDUCATES you and helps guide you every step of the way. Not just someone who makes you sore after a workout. If youre going to invest in your health, make sure you get the best return and choose wisely. See more

14.01.2022 Morning Rona squats. Todays special guest, the demi-god himself @therock, youre welcome. Today I didnt finish my full session, it was a struggle and I just couldnt get it all done. This is going to happen. Ive been on quite a good run recently with all my workouts, but today for some reason, I just didnt have it in me. Im not going to beat myself up over it, I wanted to let you guys know that even I struggle some days and its totally okay. So Im making myself a cup of tea and having a slice of the beautiful banana bread @shannon_lindsay made, Ill reset and finish the rest either today or tomorrow

14.01.2022 Deadlifts Top: From about a month ago Bottom: This week Spot the technical differences?... Small improvements made each session, with the help from a coach See more

13.01.2022 I hate the term no excuses when it comes to training. For me personally, training shouldnt feel like a task, a burden or put you down. Training should compliment your lifestyle and given the current circumstances, it should help your mental health too. It should empower you and enhance your life. If youre having to force yourself to workout just to reach your goal, it can sometimes end up being detrimental. I understand that sometimes you might have to really dig deep to get it done, but it shouldnt come at the cost of your physical and mental well-being.

13.01.2022 SBD session brought to you by Timon, Pumba and Simba feat. @shaundmitri An absolute classic and its my current motto. Whats a motto? Nothing. Whats the motto with you?

13.01.2022 Disney song for todays bench portion, my all time favourite lion king song, I just cant wait to be king. I remember playing this on repeat 100 times over when I was younger. Back to the lifting, bench has been feeling pretty good of late. Slowly building. 71kgx6. Felt easy so went up for the next 2 sets. 73kgx6x2

12.01.2022 Almost a month into 2020, how are your goals going? Here are some goals to consider. Now these goals arent all gym related, its important to remember to look after yourself physically and mentally. ... @kuangfitness See more

12.01.2022 Time to say goodbye to the Goodlife family. Its been an incredible 6 year journey, but now onto exciting new times

12.01.2022 Super stoked to have this legend, training partner, carry (@yaz_thebeast ) and best mate @shaundmitri programming my next training block. Ive been self programming for the better part of 2 years now and whilst Ive seen some progress, I needed to be honest with myself and upon reflection, I just havent had the accountability that a coach provides. I would frequently skip sessions and my mentality towards training was poor. I had the too busy and Ill do it later ...type mindset. Off loading this and bringing in someone who I trust with my programming will allow me to actually focus on my training, not be subjective and have someone there to give me feedback where I need. I think a lot of people take coaches for granted, theyre such a vital investment not only to learn from but also to have someone guide you through all the inevitable ups and downs of training, push you through difficult times and give you honest feedback. A coach has so many benefits, which can go beyond just the training in the gym. If youre serious about training and progressing, the best thing you can do for yourself is to get a coach. @kuangfitness @thestrengthschool See more

12.01.2022 Rest periods are vital for optimizing performance and play a bigger in progressing than part than most give it credit for. People often train more under fatigue and carelessly push themselves, just to get your sweat on or because they think they arent "working hard" enough. This can be detrimental. Not only are you not allowing yourself time to rest and recover, youre putting your body under a lot of stress and form can sometimes go out the window. Strategic and... specific rest periods should be implemented to your training depending on your goals. As a general guideline: Maximise power and strength >1.5-5min rest Hypertrophy <1.5min rest Cluster sets <10-20sec (with a bigger rest after the cluster) I know resting between sets isnt always fun, but allowing yourself to recover gives you a better chance to repeat the same effort every set.

11.01.2022 Tempo work Utilising tempo to really emphasise positions during my squat. They are a really great tool to make sure that youre braced, have mid-foot pressure throughout the squat and tension during the squat. The rebuild is on, 2020 look out!

10.01.2022 Today's conditioning workout I did

09.01.2022 As a small business, I really wanted to be able to do something to help towards the bushfires. I personally have already donated but wanted to do more. I am offering my services to a greater cause. Throughout January, I will be donating 100% of the profits from PT sessions and training programs purchased through this post. ... #australiaisburning @kuangfitness @theboxchelsea See more

09.01.2022 Respiratory squats otherwise known as anything above 5 reps Managing training over the last few weeks has been difficult, some sessions have been shortened, but we continue to do the work because consistency is the key. These were my 10s at 90kg, after my top set at 115kg. Finding my squat groove again, slowly but surely.... @kuangfitness @theboxchelsea See more

08.01.2022 Creating some form of routine and habits are in my eyes, absolutely essential at the moment. Being at home (for most of us non essentials) 24/7 is not easy, youre bound to go stir crazy every now and again and it can be really tough. Here are some of activities that keep me in a routine: Walking Wilba twice a day Sticking to my training routine (4 days)... Stretching for 5-10 minutes Reading before bed Taking my virtual classes See more

07.01.2022 PT for Bushfire Relief raised a stunning $725. Proceeds will be split between @redcrossau and @wildlifevictoria. So so so thankful to everyone who shared, brought sessions and contributed to this cause. My heart is very overwhelmed by the generosity ... @kuangfitness See more

07.01.2022 Couple of thoughts whilst on lockdown, as a coach its been tough but we have to adapt and overcome. 1 Communication is key. It plays such a vital role, now more than ever when you arent physically in front of a person. 2 Keep on learning. With a lot more downtime, its important to keep learning and upskilling. 3 Using this time to build habits, to do things you might not have pre covid and lockdown. Go for more walks, stretch more, morning and bedtime routines ...etc. 4 Building a community. Having that community and building that community is something Ive wanted to do a while. Whilst PT is mostly 1 on 1, providing a place where we can all interact and support each other is what I want to create. 5 Im so so thankful for all my clients, friends, family and everyone whos reached out and supported me. 6 Grateful that Ive got a setup and my own furry coach See more

05.01.2022 Trainer or Coach? I believe there is a difference between a trainer and a coach. Here are some of the characteristics/traits of each. Choose wisely when picking wholl be training you.... @kuangfitness @theboxchelsea @thestrengthschool See more

04.01.2022 GYMS ARE BACK!! Now that gyms are allowed to be again, its an exciting time again, to get back to routine, to training and some you time. Its definitely exciting, but at the same time, it can also be very daunting and anxious for some people. Having not trained like they usually do or maybe not training at all. Indulging on more food and snacking. Now that gyms are back, it opens a plethora of mental and body-image issues.... Let me say this to everyone whos having a hard time struggling with their bodies post-lockdown; you dont need to detox, you dont need to jump into a 28 day challenge, you dont need to restrict yourself and punish yourself at the gym, and most importantly, YOU DO NOT NEED A "NEW" BODY. Fuck anyone who says/promotes that bullshit post-lockdown. Your body is good enough, so dont believe for one second that it isnt, just because the industry wants to prey on your insecurities. Come back from lockdown, ease into your training, stay consistent and youll be on the right path for you. Block out the noise from all the fitness vultures and focus on you. Apologies about the semi-rant and happy training again! See more

04.01.2022 Have you heard of deloading? Is your body screaming for a deload? Do you have a deload week in your training system? If not, why?

04.01.2022 Wholesome weekend spent with @shannon_lindsay and the goobs These past 2.5 weeks have been spent over indulging on food, drinks and good company. It's been great to unwind and recover from the year just gone Planning some big things for @kuangfitness this year

03.01.2022 Wishing all our friends and family a very Merry Christmas Enjoy the festive season with good company, good food and the occasional drink or two

03.01.2022 Deload week! After 7 weeks of being consistent with my training, its finally time for a deload week. A big thanks to @shaundmitri for helping me out of a rut. I cant remember the last time I completed 7 weeks of consistent training Having a coach, especially during this pandemic has been absolutely invaluable for me. I know its not quite the same with everything being virtual, but having a coach guiding you, providing feedback and just keeping me accountab...le is something Im very grateful for. Hopefully all this sucking up will allow coach to accept the fact I yolod and hit 160kgx3 during this deload But seriously, a coach is invaluable for progressing. See more

03.01.2022 Covid has confined us to home workouts. Be careful when incorporating plyometrics. Be smart when training at home. I understand equipment might be limited, but you can still progressively overload movements without adding in an absurd amount of plyometrics and especially plyometrics under fatigue. You were strong when you were doing mainly strength based exercises (squats, bench press, lunges etc), but now having to adapt to home training, your body may not be ready for jumping lunges, box jumps, twisting 180 squats. Plyometrics have different demands on the body, therefore need to be incorporated correctly, not just for fun or fatigue.

02.01.2022 Coach @shaundmitri social distancing on Good to get a session in with him looking on. I know these times are difficult and everythings up in the air, but continuing what Im doing whilst Im still able to.

01.01.2022 With Christmas just around the corner, here are some mental reminders to help you enjoy the holidays

01.01.2022 Last training vid of the year. I know I haven't posted much this year about my training but I wanted to give a massive shout-out to @shaundmitri for my programming this year. It's not been easy by any stretch, but we've come out the other side ready for 2021! This is the first time I've touched this weight (130kg) for probably the better part of 2 years now. Little nervous going into it, but after the first rep I knew I had it for 5 reps Now it's time to enjoy a little break. I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year
