24.01.2022 First game of Rugby League for Lara. What an effort... Almost scored a off a 50m breakaway run #icebox #inthedna

23.01.2022 When people come into the clinic and tell me they are super flexible it generally means they can touch their toes easy... Thats what society classes as flexibility and it's an easy mistake to make. . My job is to look for the asymmetries. What seems flexible might actually be super weak. And yeh u can move in one feasily...mbut what about moving in the other direction equally? . Got heaps of range in hip flexion? Well let's look at your hip extension and see where you need to develop some more strength

23.01.2022 Some of our fortnightly matienance session with big Beau. He has been coming every 2 weeks for the last year to make sure things and moving well and feeling great in the gym.

22.01.2022 Your body doesn't respond to what exercises you do, it responds to how you action those exercises. Subtle differences can make huge differences. Aligning your movements with your goals just takes some practise to level up your proprioception and co-ordination. This is my wheel house, the simple stuff that is often overlooked.

19.01.2022 We worked out today that Mal has travelled over 15000km to get his fornightly @muscle_maestro treatments. With a physical job he has a preventative focus to keep his body feeling and working well. Thanks for the support

15.01.2022 The best, but most butchered of exercises at the gym. . 1) First things first it's a hip exercise. We need to find the perfect balance between hip extension and knee extension. If it's in your back day, and that's what you feel more than anything else, you are butchering it and need someone in the know to help correct your pattern. . 2)While our glutes, quads, hammies make it rise Its the responsibility of the muscles of our core/torso, to work equally as hard isometrically t...o keep their section of the body completely stable and still. . 3) You won't build better movement patterns and utilise the deadlift as it was designed to be used under max loads. You will need to regress to progress. . 4) If you have lifted a weight and you are aware you didn't move well don't count that as your max. Otherwise you are setting yourself up for injury. . 5). DEADLIFTS DONT HURT YOUR BACK. How YOU deadlift hurts your back. See more

13.01.2022 There are rare exceptions when training everyday is a good idea. Generally it's when your intensity is so low that you are more moving for your mental health than your physical goals. . . If you do train for hypertrophy/strength/fitness training hard everyday generally means that; .... 1) You aren't training hard enough- Focus on quality over quantity and then let yourself rest to repair and to grow tissue, strength, fitness. . 2) You are a ticking time bomb for injuries.... It's not a matter of when, it's a matter of how bad. . Train with purpose and intensity, then rest to reap the rewards! Most experienced athletes I've treated over the years train 4-5 times a week with a minimum of 2 days rest. See more

10.01.2022 This pic of a see saw with a clients upper body exercises shows two things. . 1) how one sided this clients program was, and which has eventually lead to some scapula issues 2) I'm not artistic. .... We need to move the balance back to the right which will include exercises like Reverse Db flys (with and without a scapula focus), face pulls and Db row with more scapula focus to name a few. We will probably need to remove a few from the right for a little while too for the change to be more effective. . If you train and are getting niggly issues then its going to be due to your program/ exercise execution/ lack of recovery ... Generally it's a combination of all of them, but getting on too of it starts with you program.. . Need help? Get in touch See more

10.01.2022 SHINS- You want your shins to be almost vertical so you can have a straight line of pull and don't need to bounce over your knees . HIP HEIGHT- Find your optimum position between pulling the bar up (Hammies/ Glutes) and pushing yourself away from the ground (quads). This will be different for everyone based on your lever length/ mobility etc but will generally be withinan angle of 30-60 . TORSO- it's all about keeping your torso locked tight... It doesn't bend forward or back once you lift... It stays the same. Use you lats by holding your shoulder blades down towards your heels and take in a huge belly breath just before you lock down these shoulder blades and lift.

07.01.2022 If you are a relatively experienced trainer and someone is telling you that hundreds of body weight squats is a good idea/ safer than a few sets of weighted squats you need to "tell him he's dreaming". The danger isn't the exercise, it's how you move (or how your body allows you to move) throughout that exercises.... I see so many more injuries from light exercises performed poorly for long periods of time, than injuries from a single heavy lift etc.... For me it's about finding bang for buck... Quality over quantity people...

03.01.2022 I always leave these handles on the seated cable row when I'm finished hoping more people will use them... For me the cliche seated Close grip cable row gets butchered to a half assed torso extension/elbow flexion exercise. ... I think there is far superior exercises to focus on those actions elsewhere. . When performed with wider handles it has to ability to be one of your best upper back/ shoulder exercises... Give it a go with handles, get your shoulder blades retracting early, then take your elbows to the back of the room

03.01.2022 Some decent sponsorship exposure for @muscle_maestro while Payne Haas gives back and runs the water for the @bilambiljetsrlfc under 18s..

02.01.2022 Ridiculously proud dad moment... My daughters 1st ever League try in her 1st official game.. Runs over the boys with some footwork and a fend for a 60m try
