24.01.2022 Looking for a perfect upper-body/legs/core superset combo? Try traps bar deadlift/t-bar rows/pull-ups. Haven't felt this sore since last week when I did nothing but static trunk holds/slow bicycle crunches...

19.01.2022 Squats! Powercleans! Aaaaarrrrggghhhhh!

18.01.2022 A crazy week of work and illness, followed by a night playing four quarters of football. Now it's Saturday and I can barely move... I'm due for an hour on the roller...

17.01.2022 I am reminded how damned difficult it is being a full time professional athlete - testing, not performing, at the VIS...

17.01.2022 Deadlift PB today! 147.5 kg! Hey, not bad for a 2-herniated-discs-geezer!

15.01.2022 Retail therapy at Iron Edge. Mmmmmmm. Power clubs... Mmmmmmm. Kettlebells...

15.01.2022 Re: James Hird. It's not so much that he has (allegedly) taken some shadowy supplements, it is more to do with the fact of the 'trickle-down' effect. If this type of mentality, or culture, is permissible at the top, it seems inevitable that this mentality will carry through to the staff and players of ANY club, let alone an elite AFL club. Regardless of Hird's reasons, if in fact he has taken a medically prescribed (albeit technically non-ASADA proscribed) supplement, thi...s does nothing more than to promote a vain and poisoned culture. What message for the kids?

14.01.2022 I am now seeing clients at Fit For Everything, 240 Inkerman Street, East St Kilda. Come down and check out the awesome studio, perfect for functional training! There are also squat cages, AND A PROWLER!!!

14.01.2022 Just finished a staff Adrenaline workshop at the soon-to-be-opened YMCA Monash, hosted by Iron Edge's Shane Yost. Ropes, rings, bands, kettlebells, and so on... Freakin' awesome! That venue rocks!... AND completed by a neat fight training space too, fully kitted out by Sting equipment - including the boxing ring. Fantastic!

13.01.2022 I so hate the cruel reminder of how the cowardly acts of a few are so often the only way we can see how the bravery and swift action of the many is what makes Humanity so fantastic. Damn those scum. I hope for the sake of Americans that what has occurred in Boston is the work of enemies abroad, rather than domestic. The last thing the USA needs now is another group of Tim McVeigh wannabe madmen.

12.01.2022 If you use your phone whilst using a piece of exercise equipment, I'm not sure it still qualifies as 'exercise'. That's what I saw this morning. A lady, mucking around with her Facebook account whilst pressing about 30kg on the seated leg press. Oh dear...

12.01.2022 Pet hate #56 - When it costs more to service a push bike than it does to service a motorcycle.

11.01.2022 Immersing myself in Thomas Myers' Anatomy Trains. Fascinating and inspiring.

11.01.2022 How's this? Perfect! From James Bennett's FB...

10.01.2022 YELLOW AND BLACK!

08.01.2022 Not that I'm having a go or anything (or naming names), but there is something incredibly distasteful about a yoga session being conducted in a retail outlet. Seeing a shop floor covered in young women practicing yoga, surrounded by clothes, tights, all the latest fashion colours, is the opposite of what yoga is all about. Unless, of course. you are practicing retail mindfulness.

07.01.2022 So. One door closes, two more open. Is the $64,000 behind door A, or door B?

07.01.2022 More simple nutrition.

06.01.2022 I have recently discovered the joys of 1-arm dumbell bench press. A perfect compliment to 1-arm dumbell rows, together these movements make an awesome superset!

05.01.2022 Gratuitous family shot - my youngest son, Seb, turned 3 yesterday!

05.01.2022 Today I'm going to eat my way out of this damned flu...

05.01.2022 This morning I occupied myself during my 45 min break with powercleans and kettlebell clean and press. I haven't hit the powercleans in months. Now I'm very, very sore! Great!

04.01.2022 Ah! Front squats! I have missed you...

03.01.2022 Here's a snapshot of me with my Caulfield Bears Under 10s after our Lightning Premiership. A great club, and a great bunch of kids!

03.01.2022 Serious conditioning=pain. Afterwards? Bliss...
