25.01.2022 QUADRICEPS FEMORIS . Quadriceps Femoris is Latin for ‘Four-Headed Muscle of the Femur’ . The Quadriceps aren’t actually one muscle. It is four seperate muscles, Rectus Femoris, Vastus Medialis, Vastus Lateralis and Vastus Intermedius... . Rectus Femoris: Origins: Anterior Inferior Iliac Spine of the Pelvis and the Upper Margin of the Acetabulum. Insertion: Quadriceps Tendon . Vastus Medialis: Origins: Linea Aspera and Intertrochanteric Line of the Femur. Insertion: Quadriceps Tendon. . Vastus Lateralis: Origins: Linea aspera and Greater trochanter of the femur. Insertion: Lateral Patellar Retinaculum . Vastus Intermedius: Origins: Anterior Surface of the Femur. Insertion: Quadriceps Tendon . Now thats a lot of Latin and random body parts right there. Let me break it down for you: . Rectus (Erect muscle, straight up and down) Femoris (of the Femur): Origins: the edge of the pelvis Insertion: Quadriceps Tendon . Vastus (Large Muscle) Medialis (Towards the Middle): Origins: Bottom of the femur neck. Insertion: Quadriceps Tendon. . Vastus Lateralis (Towards the Outside): Origins: top of the femur. Insertion: Behind the knee cap . Vastus Intermedius (between Lateral and Medial): Origins: Front side of Femur. Insertion: Quadriceps Tendon Main actions: . The Quadriceps are the only extensor of the knee joint, which is a movement that increases the angle of the knee. This is primarily their main action and what they are responsible for . The quadriceps also play a very key role in keeping the knee from buckling when standing . Rectus femoris also plays a role in flexion of hips joint . And to a small extent, the Vastus Mediulis helps with internal rotation of the knee and the Vastus Lateralis assists with external rotation of the knee . As far as working out, you can’t really isolate any of these muscles. For example, if you want that ‘Quad Tear Drop’, you can’t just isolate the Vastus Medialis. Any extension of the knee will activate the Quadricep. But for maximum muscle building you have to make sure you take the muscle through its entire contractile range, so the more you get your calf to your hamstring, you’ll be able to activate the Quadricep fully @ Ballarat, Victoria

25.01.2022 PECTORAL MUSCLES . The Pectoral Muscles consist of the Pectoralis Major and Pectoralis Minor . The Pec Major (as the name suggests) is the bigger muscle of the two and covers the majority of the upper body... . It has two major portions, a Clavicular Portion (Upper portion beginning near the Clavicle) and Sternalcostal Portion (On the Sternum and Ribs: costal - latin word costa - refers to ribs) . Origins: Clavicular head: anterior (front) surface of the medial (middle) half of the clavicle Sternocostal head: anterior (front) surface of the sternum, the superior (above) six costal (rib) cartridges, and the aponeurosis of the external (outside) oblique muscle . Insertion: Crest of the Greater Tubercle (Near the Head of the Humerus) . Main action: Adduction (on various planes) and medial rotation of the humerus . The reason I note the origin and insertion, as previously discussed, is that if you imagine the bone that a muscle inserts, and draw a line towards the bone that it originates from, thats the muscles Range of Motion (ROM) or how a muscle moves . Knowing how a muscle moves is crucial to work it out correctly . As the Pec Major is a fan shaped muscle, and has a large origin area, it has a vast range of motion, and it’s important we train different directions and have the arm moving in different planes of motion . The Pectoralis Minor lies underneath the Pec Major . Origin: Third to Fifth Ribs Insertion: Medial (middle) border and superior (above) surface of the coracoid process of the scapula . Main action: Stabilises the scapula and raises ribs in inspiration (breathing in) . When it comes to hypertrophy, the Pec Minor isn’t where we are aiming . An important tip when trying to work the Pecs, it’s easy to over extend when working chest, especially when you’re lifting against gravity. What this means is we can go out of our pecs range of motion, and recruit deltoids and lats more. So it’s important to know your ROM for chest movement . For example, when bench pressing, your range of motion might not be to bring the bar to your chest, as your pecs might not have that movement in them, so you may have to bench with a block to specifically target your pecs @ Ballarat, Victoria See more

23.01.2022 SARDINES . For those that don’t know, Col watched MasterChef and is now a Nutritional Adviser (Link in Bio) . His last post about Liver went down about as well as someone questioning why they’re doing 100 deadlifts as a beginner at F45... . So to redeem himself, this time he’s looking at sardines . These little beauties are high in Omega 3 Fatty Acids. Omega 3s are unsaturated fats, which contain essential fats your body can’t produce, so we need to consume them . Why? . Cos the dog on insta said so! . Omega 3s help with health skin, hair and nails. The anti inflammatory properties help with brain function. They help with preventing blood clots and reduce Cardiovascular risks as they prevent the blood from clotting together . There is also evidence it helps to with Mental Health issues such as Depression and Anxiety . Sardines also have plenty of B12, giving you some energy plus some Vitamin D, which with no sun, we might as well eat . They are also a great source of calcium helping with strong bones . Finally, they are a great little source of protein for the GAINZ . The major reason to get some sardines into ya is the Omega 3s though. The closer your are to the big 3-0, the more you need to start thinking of supplementing your diet with Omega 3s, as the older you get, the more at risk you are for cardiovascular diseases #bearerofbadnews . What’s better than supplementing food? . Actually eating it! . #ballaratgyms#fitnessballarat#ballaratfitness#ballarateducation#geelongfitness#melbournefitness#melbournefitfam#sups#supplementreview#dogsofinsta#dogsoffittness#dog#fitnessdog#fitnessmotivation#gymmotivation#gyminfo#knowledgeispower#bordercolliesofinstagram#bordercollie#fitnessbordercollie#nutrition#sardines #chef#healthyeating#iron#vitamins#fitdog#fitdogsofinstagram#fitdogs See more

23.01.2022 Can’t wait to get back with all the crew! 2 and a half months to go

20.01.2022 BICEPS BRACHII . Make sure if you’re enjoying these post, please like and share x . Biceps Brachii in Latin means ‘two headed muscle of the arm’... . Biceps BRACHII is important to make that distinction, as there are several ‘Bicep’ muscles in the body . Origins: Long head: supraglenoid tubercle. Short head: coracoid process (Both on Scapula) . Insertion: Radial tuberosity (on the Radius). Bicipital aponeurosis to the fascia on the medial (Middle) side of the forearm. . The best way to use this information on how to workout the biceps are . The hand is attached to radius . The Radius connected to Ulna . The Ulna is attached to elbow . ANYTHING attached to radius causes pronation or supination (movements of the hand allowing to move palms facing up or down) . Anything attached to ulna doesn’t do either of those movements . Biceps attach to radius . Brachialis attaches to the ulna (only causes flexion) . Supinators (palm up) of the hand really only work when hand is supinated . So the best Bicep Brachii work needs to be done when supinated. So to keep the hand supinated, its important to think pinky to shoulder when doing any curl action . The other biceps actions are to flex at the elbow and slight shoulder abduction. Which is why I like to bring my shoulder up SLIGHTLY to fully contract and flex the bicep at the end of a curl . #ballaratfitness #fitnessballarat #ballaratgym #ballaratgyms #melbournegyms #melbournemusclegym #melbournefitness #geelongfitness #gymmotivation #fitnessmotivation #fitnesseducation#anatomy #edumacation #bicepsareimportant #fitnesseducation #teacher #gymeducation #smarterlifting #ballarateducation #melbournefitfam #learning #gymlearning #anatomydrawing #anatomy #anatomyart #gymeducation #drawingfitness @ Ballarat, Victoria See more

19.01.2022 Just thought I’d give y’all a very quick anatomy lesson . The nose and mouth are connected . So if you wear your mask to only cover your nose, it’s doing pretty much nothing to help not spread anything... . Might as well wear the mask on your elbow if that’s your choice, it’s a comfier option! . And if you have to lower your mask to help you breath easier, you’re probably in the high risk category for COVID-19, so you should probably wear your mask correctly . #covid19 #wearamask #wearamaskplease #wearamaskright #dontbeadick #dontbeadickwearamask #anatomy101 #simpleanatomy #covidsafe @ Ballarat, Victoria See more

18.01.2022 RANGE OF MOTION? . A little #techniquetuesday . How important is arse to grass squats?... . Overhead press to your sternum . Bench to your chest . My thoughts, only time this ROM is a must, is if you are a power lifter . Other than that, go to YOUR range of motion . What is you ROM? . The video example is my bench press ROM and why I bench with a block . Because of multiple reasons (humerus length, immobility etc), without the aid of gravity and weight (when laying on my back benching) this is how far I can move the bar. This is the movement my pecs give me without recruiting delts and other stabilizers (to see movement profiles, have a look at my anatomy posts) . With squats, I get my basketballers to quarter squat. Why? Because they have no need to go full depth, because in a game they play in a quarter squat stance, so that’s where they need to be the strongest . For hypertrophy and fitness, range of motion is dictated by your body type, your flexibility, your goals . It is NOT dictated by ‘ROM rules’ . #ballaratfitness #fitnessballarat #ballaratgym #ballaratgyms #melbournegyms #melbournemusclegym #melbournefitness #geelongfitness #gymmotivation #fitnessmotivation #fitnesseducation#anatomy #edumacation #bicepsareimportant #fitnesseducation #teacher #gymeducation #smarterlifting #ballarateducation #melbournefitfam #learning #gymlearning #anatomydrawing #anatomy #anatomyart #gymeducation #drawingfitness #rangeofmotion #gymknowlege See more

18.01.2022 #throwbackthursday . Throw back to when I started my fitness career at @anytimefitnessmtclear . Here’s a few of the things I’ve changed since I started, a bit of advice for those looking and becoming a trainer... . Planning - I was the PT that had an idea of what I’d do for a sesh, and kind of winged it - now I plan every session as detailed as I can, with a plan on where we are heading long term . KISS principle - it’s not about how funky my training plans are. Strong compound lifts with accessories are what’s important . It’s not about sweat and vomit - I get upset when I find out a client struggled the next day. Fitness isn’t about being messed up, it’s about feeling strong . Education - I’m wiser who I listen to now, plus I’m always studying a new qualification. I find time to better myself for my clients . PT certificate - this is the most overrated pieces of paper in the industry. In hindsight I have used nothing from this. This piece of paper doesn’t mean you can train anyone - now I educate myself through reading, and multiple qualification studies . Consultation sessions - this isn’t about selling. This is about gathering as much info on a client as you can to help them achieve their goals . Clients - not every client is suited to you, some won’t like the way you train them. It’s better to find clients you ‘click’ with and like the way you train, instead of whoever is happy to hand you some coin . It ain’t easy - I don’t do this for money, I would have stayed a teacher if I wanted cash! I love what I do, it’s not work for me! If you think it’s a way to riches and fame, wrong industry! . Listen to the old man youngbloods! . #ballaratpt #ballaratfitness #fitnessballarat #ptadvice #training #fitness #anytimefitness #lovelifefitness #anytimefitnessmtclear #fitnessmotivation #advice #whativelearned #mythoughts #fitnessadvice See more

15.01.2022 CREATINE . Today Trevie had his creatine shake to make sure his workouts are improved. I asked him why is he taking it? Here are his thoughts . Firstly, Creatine is a component of Phosphocreatine. This, in short, helps to resynthaises ATP, which is the compound that gives us energy to move... . The more Creatine (the average human can store up to 160g of creatine) the faster ATP resynthesises, and the more energy we get to lift . Think - More energy - Better training - Better performance - Better gainz . The benefit isn’t just in lifting though . Creatine helps with performance in high temperatures, as it helps to retain water and delay dehydration. Also it helps with injury rehabilitation. Finally, with brain function, and helping metal fatigue . It is also probably the most researched supplement on the market . This is the only supplement (along with Whey) that Trevie’s human recommends to all his clients, as the benefits are a definite positive for everyone, training or not . As far as dosage, around the 5g mark per day is fine. There is no time of day, anytime. If you start taking it, you have two choices. You can load it (4x5g per day), or just take the 5g per day . There are several types on the market. Here, unlike most things, the cheapest is the best. Creatine Monohydrate is the one you want. The funky mixed blends are just a funky way for you to spend more cash money! . TREV’S SUMMARY . This is probably the only must have supplement, if you must have a supplement. You produce creatine naturally in the body, and when you eat meat. But the extra creatine in the body can only help. It’s cheap and very effective . #ballaratgyms #fitnessballarat #ballaratfitness #ballarateducation #geelongfitness #melbournefitness #melbournefitfam #sups #supplementreview #dogsofinsta #dogsoffittness #dog #fitnessdog #supplements #fitnessmotivation #gymmotivation #gyminfo #knowledgeispower See more

14.01.2022 How to re-enter the gym . It’s nearly return to gym tiiiiime! And most out there have at best been doing body weight movements for the last 12 weeks . What’s the best way to come back to weight bearing movement?... . Obviously it’s to walk in, take 3 scoops of pre workout, put your one rep max on the bar, try and rep it for 3... . Now for those that aren’t the biggest fan of chiropractors (has anyone thought about how they’ve suffered financially with F45 closed???) here’s my way back to the gym that I’m using for clients that haven’t had the luxury or a home gym set up . It won’t take long to get back to where you were, muscle memory will kick in quickly. But your muscle won’t be familiar with heavy loads first session back . That why I’m suggesting 3 full body days for a few weeks coming back into the gym . Each session will have one movement of: - Knee extension movement - Hip movement - Horizontal push - Vertical push - Horizontal pull - Vertical pull . 6 exercises. 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps for the first few weeks back . This way you body is moving under load through most planes of movement used in the gym. We can gradually increase the load and give the body time to reacquaint itself back to the gym before we go back to a program that’s more familiar . Then we can take our 3 scoops and go lift heavy things and put them back down! . Get ready Victoria to board the Gainz Train . . #ballaratgyms#fitnessballarat#ballaratfitness#ballarateducation#geelongfitness#melbournefitness#melbournefitfam#fitnessmotivation#gymmotivation#gyminfo#gainz #gainztrain #reentryprogram #backtogym #victorialockdown #lockdown #covid

09.01.2022 Did you hear... Kmart is now only selling Large Blue Hoodies. That’s it. That’s their range... . I’m going to shop there, large is a just fit for me, it’s a bit tight, but kinda fits . I don’t mind blue. I prefer navy, probably black is better, but blue is close enough... . Plus it’s Kmart. So it’s cheap! Super cheap! And Kmart is SUPER popular. All the jumper wearers go there . I did see and XL Black Hoodie at another place that custom makes your jumper to fit. But that costs more if I shop there . I like Kmart. The employee that sold it to me, he was wearing a red teeshirt. Looked good on him, suited him . This is my long winded analogy of group fitness classes . Before there’s butt hurt, group fitness CAN have a place... . BUT... remember group fitness isn’t designed for your needs. Yeah you get a sweat up, might get sore, you’ll move a little. But it doesn’t take into account your goals, your frame, your movement patterns, your injury history . It’s cheaper too... for a reason . Yes, It costs more for a coach... again, for a reason . A GOOD coach knows you, knows your goals, and knows how to work with you to achieve them. It’s not a cookie cutter plan, it’s a program designed for you! . A real coach also works to rehab your injuries and get you moving properly. Not just ‘sit out’ or ‘do less reps’ . Plus a qualified coach can help you with your nutrition. Design something to help you with food, and to educate you. A holistic approach to fitness . The guy that sold you the hoodie, are they wearing a blue hoodie too? Does your group instructor have a rippa rig because they do ONLY group classes? Or do they do resistance training that is specific to their needs and goals? . Don’t get me wrong, owning the blue jumper isn’t bad, if you wear the black one that fits you well around town, but then you might wear the blue hoodie with a friend occasionally, or wear it to mix up the fashion . Doing a group fitness class for a change up, fun with a friend, added cardio, yeah I get that, fitness should be about fun. But as your sole source of fitness? . I’m no fashion adviser, but wearing around an ill fitting blue hoodie all day isn’t great fashion advice! See more

07.01.2022 This is long term client Jim . Jim has had some major gains training with me over the past few years . Jim started off with me on the left as just a rack and a barbell with some Kmart mats... . Now Jim has a hex bar, safety squat bar, dumbbells, landmine and decent flooring . He’s close to getting his own sissy squat as well . Jim’s goals are to have as many people use him as possible . I have discussed with Jim the appropriateness of this goal, but he assures me having people play with him is something he enjoys and is comfortable with . Jim can’t wait to share himself around with everyone, he’s just waiting on his Uncle Danny to allow him to be more free to the public . #gymsofballarat #ballaratgym #ballaratfitness #fitnessballarat #ballaratpt #ballarattrainers #ptsofballarat #fitness #fitnessmelbourne #fitnessmotivation #gymmotivation #gym #gymmotivation #isojokes #uncledanny See more

06.01.2022 FAT BURNERS . Today Trev has smashed down some fat burner, and he’s asked me to type (paws are difficult to use on a Mac) as he tells me his thoughts . The intension behind fat loss supplements are to stimulate fat oxidation without thermogenetic (production of heat) or energetic demands... . A quick rundown of what fat oxidation is . Fat oxidation is step two of the fat LOSS process: . STEP ONE: Lipolysis (breaking down stored fat) . STEP TWO: Oxidatoin (burning up fatty acids) . Fat burners are a perfect example of when THEORY doesn’t match the APPLICATION . The ingredients seem to point towards being able to sit down and watch the fat fall off you . Caffeine: acts as a stimulant, has shown metabolic benefits, also helps with the feeling of satiety (fullness) . L-Carnitine: an amino acid that transports fat into the mitochondria where it’s burned for fuel . Green Tea: Thermogenic (produces heat) which can help fat loss . Yohimbine: helps block fat cells which normally suppresses fat burning (also helps with erectile disfunction) . So these ingredients sound pretty good right. All of these have observed effects on metabolism . It is important to remember that burning fat when the body doesn’t need to is against what the body wants to do. You can’t just take some beans and bark and drop fat magically. The body doesn’t want to do that! . So combining a fat burner with exercise will help you drop fat then yeah? . Unfortunately, the vast amount of studies have shown that there is very little, if any, difference in weight loss when taking fat burners and not . So they don’t work? . Well, Trev’s human takes a fat burner during a comp prep. Why? A fat burner him fuller throughout the day and the caffeine hit helps him with energy when he’s feeling flat . TREV’S SUMMARY . A fat burner will NOT magically burn fat. It may help you burn fat because in a big caloric deficit you may have more energy for workouts through caffeine and green tea, and you may also lose weight because you feel more full. If you have some spare coin, it can help. If not, grab a coffee, or two See more

05.01.2022 12 WEEK LOVE LIFE ONLINE PROGRAM . Adam McIntyre recently finished a 12 week online program . He lost his goal of 10kgs. Took 7cm off his chest, lost 11cm from his stomach and dropped 5cm on his quads... . The best part? He didn’t have to hibernate and not eat. He had chocolate, and a few beers and Bundys along the way . Fitness isn’t about restriction, it’s about adapting to your life and enjoying life . Adam took away how to portion his food, and snacking ideas that were better options for his goals . Remember, in any fitness journey, it shouldn’t be a quick ‘challenge’ that starves you and makes you miserable . By the end you should be educated in how to eat to your lifestyle and how to enjoy it . All part of what I make sure is included in every program. You learn how to put together your meals that suit you . Interested?

04.01.2022 VITAMIN D . Trevie was trying to sunbake today, and noticed there isn’t much sun around at the moment. Living in Ballarat, he was a little worried about that he’s not getting enough sun, so he wanted to share his thoughts on Vitamin D . Vitamin D is a ‘fat soluble’ vitamin, which means that the body needs adequate fat intake in order to be able to absorb it. Unlike water soluble vitamins, the body doesn’t need fat soluble vitamins every day, as it’s able to store them... . We don’t just get Vitamin D from sun though Salmon, eggs and mushrooms are a few of the other sources we can find it. So we don’t JUST need to go out sun baking to hit our required amounts . Most vitamins are needed to ensure we get the regular amount of growth and development . Vitamin D specifically aids the healthy development of bones and teeth by helping with the transportation and absorption of Phosphorus and Calcium in the body (it’s why Trev has such a nice smile!) . TREV’S SUMMARY . Do you NEED to supplement Vitamin D. Maybe During winter in a colder climate, yeah maybe, might be a good idea to ensure you get enough during winter . If you’re older and more sedentary, spending less time in the sun, probably. But in that case, lifestyle changes would be a better option rather than supplementing (as the case with most supplementation) . If you do CHOOSE to supplement with Vitamin D, look for a supplement with D3 (or Cholecalciferol), as it comes from animal sources and better used in the body, when compared to D2 (Ergocalciferol) which is less effective in circulating Vitamin D levels . #ballaratgyms#fitnessballarat#ballaratfitness#ballarateducation#geelongfitness#melbournefitness#melbournefitfam#sups#supplementreview#dogsofinsta#dogsoffittness#dog#fitnessdog#supplements#fitnessmotivation#gymmotivation#gyminfo#knowledgeispower #goldenretriever #goldenretrieversofinstagram #gymsupplements #fitness #fitnessknowledge #knowledgeiskey #knowyoursups #vitaminD See more

04.01.2022 HAMSTRINGS . The Hamstrings (HAM-bend of the knee STRING-they are a very tendonous group of muscles) . Hamstrings are a often forgotten group of muscles, mainly because you can’t see them when you look in the mirror like you can your Quads... . The ORIGIN of the three Hamstring muscles are the same - Ischial tuberosity (bottom part of the pelvis) (The short head of the Biceps Femoris has a different origin to the rest, which is the Linea Aspera, on the Femur) . It’s easier to split the hamstrings into the Medial (middle) and Lateral (outside) muscles . MEDIAL MUSCLES . Semitendinosus - Semi (half) Tendinosis (muscle fibres form a tendon) - quit literally half of the muscle is made up of tendons. INSERTION - Superior (Higher) Surface of the Tibia . Semimembranosis - Semi (half) Membranous (more membrane) INSERTION Medial (Middle) Condyle (Round bit) of the Tibia . LATERAL MUSCLES . Biceps Femoris - (two headed muscle of the Femur) The long head and short head come together to the aptly named Biceps Femoris Tendon, to INSERT into the Lateral (outside) side of the Head of the Fibula . The Hamstrings are two joint muscle, starting on the Pelvis and inserting below the knee, crossing two joints. This means they work Knee Flexion and Hip Extension movements . Thats why it’s important to work the Hamstring muscles in both a Hip Extension (some form of hip hinge movement such as deadlift variations) and Knee Flexion (Leg Curl movement) - other than the short head of the Biceps Femoris, that only causes knee flexion as it is only crosses the knee joint . I like to think of the major Hamstring movement though as a resistance to Knee Flexion. That is that they control the Eccentric movement more when we walk/run etc. and that’s what they’re best at. . It is also shown that Eccentric work has more strength effect on the Hamstrings than Concentric work . This is a major reason why I use Eccentrics on Hamstrings, as this I find activates them more, plus your working them how they liked to be used, stimulating them better See more

01.01.2022 Who influences you? . Do you follow blindly? . Do you try things because it worked for others?... . Do you take others word as gospel? . Is it because they have knowledge, or followers? . The is so much info out there now! . When I first started in the gym, to get info, I had to go to university, or go to a library (that’s a place with lotsa books for the Youngbloods) and spend hours and hours researching and reading papers. Was just easier to listen to the big guy at the gym who said ‘don’t eat carbs and you’ll get shredded’ . Now, when you are told something, you have so many places to look as you sit down and watch TV. There are research papers online, people that know their shit on YouTube and social media platforms. All in the palm of your own hand! . Even after all that, don’t believe the first post or video or paper you see, keep researching and form your own opinions about what you do or put into your body . Why are you doing an exercise/taking a supplement/eating a food? . What’s the benefits to doing/taking/eating that over something else? . Does it do what it’s claimed? . With everything you consume/take/do, and if YOU don’t know what it is doing to you, and blindly follow a post, or a video, or even a coach, should you REALLY be doing it? . This is why I have Trev reviewing supplements . 1. He has the same education as many ‘influencers’ . 2. He has better knowledge than some ‘influencers’ . 3. You wouldn’t listen to what a dog tells you to put inside your body, why listen to an ‘influencer’ without researching? . My advice? . Find people (plural) you trust. You don’t need to have met them, but they need to know what they’re talking about. Challenge them by cross referencing. Make up your own mind. As questions, insta question boxes are great. Get a coach. Find books, papers. Educate yourself on what you do . Just don’t listen to one source and start doing things to your body . Be a LEARNER not a FOLLOWER . Actually on second thoughts, I’d take Trev’s word over most ‘influencers’ every day! . Or should I just listen to the skinny bloke in unicorn tights See more
