23.01.2022 Back Day ft @_gabrieldavis_ - Here’s an excellent exercise for a back day warm up. - Unilateral rows. Beginning in the protracted position, leaning forward with your hips, driving the elbow back, scooping the scapula into retraction and bring the arm to a neutral position from a pronated position. ... - In plain English, roll your shoulders forward, have your hand in a fist pump, roll your shoulder back and bring your hand into a fish. - The protraction into retraction is a upper trap loosener and the final retraction really hits the lats hard. Try and focus on the cue of putting your armpit into your pocket. - Try this on your next back day and let me know how you go. See more
20.01.2022 I’d like to introduce you to someone who is awespiring. Grace. We’ve worked together for a good part of a year. - Grace is a single mum with 5 kids all not even teenagers yet, Grace also runs her own business with face to face clientele. Grace also exercises 3 times a week with me and 1-2 times a week on her own. - The photo speaks for itself. Getting stronger, more confident to train on her own. There is certainly more coming, despite juggling numerous valid priorities for... most, despite switching gyms and a 3 month lockdown. I’m very proud and honoured to say that I get to work with this Wonder Woman. - Here’s to further progress, PBs and laughs. I’m proud of you and your continuous efforts Grace. See more
19.01.2022 Eating well. What does it mean? - As modern society has built its culture around the food we eat, there is a lot of misunderstanding on what a ‘clean and healthy’ diet may look like. - Eating well may mean chicken, rice and vegetables. It may mean meals from @mymusclechef like I’m eating here, it might be your favourite homemade dish on a regular basis. ... - If you see the value in the food you eat, eat it. If you feel the need to rise to someone else’s expectations of what you should and shouldn’t be eating, stop listening to them. - Enjoy food, it’s made to replenish your body and fuel your body. However we also get the privilege of being able to taste food and attach fond memories of its consumption. - There isn’t any good or bad food, just your thoughts and judgements of them. Enjoy your food, and eat it for you. See more
19.01.2022 Are you new to training? Unsure how to progress? - I am taking on two on one Personal Training sessions two days a week. - Why two on one? Imagine yourself beginning and understandably intimidated by the idea of a long term process to realising that it’s all a process. Having a friend be there with you and supporting one another whilst learning about yourselves is an investment well justified don’t you think? ... - Why two days? What’s worth more? Two intensely focused sessions consistently and applying your newfound knowledge on the other days or more inconsistent sessions like you’ve already been having? - You matter, and I want you to be able to share your newfound discoveries with one another. - Does this sound like a self investment for you? - Let me know below, tag your tag team partner below and I’ll have the info you need to get started.

19.01.2022 Back Day Part III w/ @_gabrieldavis_ - The first two posts on this was to establish foundational exercises to help gain contractions when training the back. - Here is an exercise that allows for a fuller contractile range to really hit the lats. ... - Set a bench up on an incline and ensure you have two cables for both handles, establish a neutral grip position to begin pulling down. - Begin in a protracted position (shoulder blades rolled forward, not fully, slightly) and then transition to a retracted position (shoulder blades rolled back) to really squeeze the lats hard. This isn’t a fast movement, and it doesn’t need to be heavy either. Slow and steady to start, and as you improve, faster and more consistent. - Try this on your next back day and let me know how you go. See more
17.01.2022 Leg Day Part II w/ @killeab - Nordic Curls are in my eyes an essential addition to leg training programs as they hit the hamstring in a different manner. - Focusing on the eccentric portion of the movement, this movement allows for the hamstring to be stretched rather than constantly contracted. ... - Have the hips in a neutral or hinged position and have something like a rail as shown or someone holding your ankles and descend toward the ground without comprising the original stance. - Give this a go on your next leg day and let me know how you go. See more
14.01.2022 Leg Day Part I w/ @killeab - A squat is a conventional exercise being performed in gyms across the planet. It is one of the most basic movements that human beings do. - Here is a regressively simple way to perform a squat. To practice, grab a box or a bench as shown here. Either use a dowel or a barbell and sit on the box and stand back up. ... - As simple as this seems, many people I’ve seen who squat poorly either do not know how or put immense amount of weight on, struggle and pretend it’s their version of a squat. - No squats are exactly alike, however it does not hurt to go over the basics. It will hurt long term if you neglect them. - This variation is excellent for older people who aren’t able to execute a squat adequately yet and people who are unsure how to squat yet. It is also an excellent tool to measure an individuals progress on squats as well as add some depth to already proficient squatters. - As it’s said, whatever you do not employ, you forfeit. You do not use these, you may hinder the opportunity to improve further. See more

13.01.2022 How long does it really take? - This is my client @graciedavids0n and her unbelievable transformation. - 2016 was a time where the family home and dynamic was unstable, with five children, her business not starting, her mental health deteriorating as fast as her physical health, Grace did the most amazing thing she could’ve done, had a self intervention and decided to make a change. ... - 2020, a debilitating year for most, however Grace isn’t most. With the five children and more stability in her home as well as her business flourishing and her mental and physical health exponentially increasing, Grace has made the changes most only dream about. - However dreams don’t work unless you do. It’s said that most overestimate what they can do in year, and underestimate what they can do in five. Here is your shining example. - It takes work. Lots and lots of work. Physical work, emotional work, cultivating the discipline, discarding the distractions, illuminating such inner work with a spirit of resilience that you have no choice but to win. - Grace is here and going is going to go further because she decided to win, and continues to. - I’m immensely proud of how far you’ve come, and I’m in complete awe of the things you’ve been through in order to get here. I am truly honoured to have been a part of this. - Winning is a lifestyle. See more
11.01.2022 Back Day Part II ft @_gabrieldavis_ - The face pull. This is another staple back exercise I like to use for a number of reasons. Engaging the teres muscles as well as the upper traps is important in the upper back development. - Having weak teres majors and minors can hinder shoulder mobility as it’s a supporting muscle to help with retraction and protraction of the scapula. ... - This also engages the mid traps in conjunction with the upper trap and teres major and minor. - Ensure you have your feet planted on the ground, typically shoulder width apart and you have your core braced for stability. - Gaby does this exceptionally well and the results have spoken for themselves. - Implement these into your back day and let me know what you think.

09.01.2022 Shoulder Day w/ @graciedavids0n - Here is an excellent finisher add to your shoulder day routine. Begin with taking light dumbbells and incorporate first a front raise, then a rear delt fly into a lateral raise and reciprocate. - This movement engages all three heads of the deltoid when done correctly. To ensure safe execution, have both feet firm on the ground, core braced to allow for optimal breathing during the set and squeeze your glutes if necessary for added lower bo...dy stability. - Give this a go in your next shoulder routine and let me know how you go!

09.01.2022 CLIENT SHOUT: - Justin and I began our work together 6 weeks ago, and he’s come out 8kg lighter. - Isolation got the better of him pre training, now and beyond, he is an absolute machine. ... - Justin is loving the training, a good surf and now keeping more active than ever before. - I’m super proud of the work you’re doing Justin, let’s keep this up and see what the next 6 weeks brings forth.

09.01.2022 Shoulder Day Part II w/ @graciedavids0n - With a cable and a rope, have it start from the bottom and file your shoulder in an upward manner. This leads to a full shoulder extension creating loads of tension. # - Why? At full shoulder extension the muscle is at its weakest point and what we do in this exercise is add load and resistance and it’s at its highest at the top of the lift. ... - So by lifting the shoulders are at their weakest and the weight is at its highest ultimately creating loads of tension. - When completing this exercise, attempt to remain still with the trunk so the shoulders remain completely isolated. - Give this a go on your next shoulder day and let me know how you go.

09.01.2022 CLIENT SHOUT: - Kileab came to me to work on growing some muscle as he was having a hard time doing so himself. - We went through the basics. Eating sufficiently, sleeping sufficiently as well as training adequately and intensely. ... - The leg sessions he’s gone through, most I believe would’ve folded after the first exercise. Going through tough leg sessions naturally release growth hormone and elevate testosterone which has boosted Kileab’s growth. - He has gained 4kg over this last 6 weeks eating 3200-3500 calories and training three times per week. - Still plenty of work to do, however proud of you regardless. Well done Kileab. See more
08.01.2022 Here is Gaby. - Gaby begun training with me amidst the COVID lockdown in early June. With the goal of being more consistent in exercise and training, we went to work. - Those cool and frisky mornings certainly paid off as these past 12 weeks have certainly shown the level of consistency and commitment Gaby has applied in training.... - When we first begun, Gaby could barely do push ups, her squats ordinary and had some upper back issues as well as tendonitis and a tricep injury. - Now, we’ve changed gyms, still trained amidst hysteria and panic and Gaby has grown significantly. Legs have grown seismically, upper body has grown profusely and her discipline is out of this world as she combines swimming along with gym and is loving it. - And boy she will out work you. Period. Well done Gaby, mega proud of your progress and looking forward to continuing this uphill momentum. See more
07.01.2022 Leg Day Part III w/ @killeab - Single Leg Glute Bridges are an outstanding exercise for isolating the glutes when preparing for hip thrusts. - Whether you’re a beginner, looking for an edge or your hip thrusts are currently asymmetrical because one side dominates, this is the exercise for you. -... Ensure there is adequate distance between you and the base of your foot and push yourself in an upward motion with a leg in the air. - If you want to build your glutes and are unsure as to how, let me know. Comment below or send me a message. See more
03.01.2022 You vs You. - When you’re training, when you’re working, when you’re living. The person you have to deal with the most is yourself. - How are you speaking to yourself? In a positive constructive manner? In a negative destructive manner? ... - This is of imperative importance that the things you do for yourself and the way you see yourself creates the path for how your life currently is and it’s trajectory. - Be your own best friend, your confidant, consulate. Push the envelope, pull the ego. - The words that come after I am, come after you. - Video coming soon @odyssfit See more
