24.01.2022 Training is going swimmingly, I am loving the current set up with my program and my body is feeling great. Even with maxing out every week. Just accepted a casual position at Bunnings, picking online orders working night shifts. This is great financially but will definitely take its toll on training over the next few weeks. Im not stressing though, in the words of @realmattwenning "Modify, dont miss"... This session included: SPEED BENCH PRESS w/CHAINS - 9x3 RACK LOCKOUTS - 3rm SEATED ARNOLD PRESS - 5x10 INVERTED ROWS - 5x10 #dynamiceffort #dynamiceffortupper #speedbench #racklockouts #arnoldpress #invertedrows #triceps #shoulders #power #powerdevelopment #core #strengthtraining #thestrengthshak #onlinestrengthcoaching #strengthcoach #personaltrainer #strong #fitness #health

24.01.2022 Banded Speed Squats 8x2 Dynamic Effort Deadliffts 6x1 Hamstring Curls 3x12 Pistol Squats 3x8 each... The INTENT on DYNAMIC EFFORT days is to produce as much FORCE as possible. Teaching you to use your BIGGER and STRONGER, FAST TWITCH FIBERS. Accessories to STRENGTHEN your WEAKNESSESS. Hope you all had the best week possible, I CHOSE TO. PS. Did you see that Online Strength Coaching is handing out a FREE TEMPLATE for you to BUILD YOUR OWN PROGRAM! Message me for more info.

21.01.2022 Seated Military Press Off Pins HEAVY FIVE Close Grip Bench Press HEAVY DOUBLE Chin ups 3x6-8 DB Zottaman Curls 3x10 1 Arm Band Tricep Pushdown 100 EACH... Really loving the variety I have gained from the POWER RACK, with the pin presses, different pull up grips and the ability to attach bands wherever! #thestrengthshak #thepump

18.01.2022 1st session of the week for Scott Simpson starting off right with HEAVY LEGS Front Squat - HEAVY DOUBLE Good Morning - HEAVY SINGLE Fwd/Rev Lunge - 3 SETS OF 8 (FWD+REV=1 REP)... Banded X Walk - 1 SET OF 5 MINS Ab Rollout - 4 SETS OF 8 Will be rotating the MAX EFFORT SESSIONS next week for some VARIETY. Body is feeling fantastic!

17.01.2022 This is for all my people who sit down for hours and feel very tight through their lower back. Tight glutes are the #1 area that leads to a tight lower back, so today we will focus on them and then address lumber spine mobility. Try out this sequence and let me know how you feel!... Share this around if you find it helpful!!!!!! #thestrengthshak #onlinestrengthcoaching #mobility #lowerbacktightness #stiffness #glutes #lumberspine #triggerpoints

16.01.2022 Feeling great after todays session!! BANDED BENCH PRESS 8x3 POWER SHRUG 6x8 INVERTED ROWS 3x15...

15.01.2022 On DYNAMIC EFFORT, the goal is to be moving LIGHTER WEIGHTS, while producing AS MUCH FORCE AS POSSIBLE. This is made possible by ACCOMMODATING RESISTANCE (the use of bands and chains). Then, hammer your lagging muscle groups to build up their size. Remember A BIGGER MUSCLE IS A STRONGER ONE! 1) PUSH UP STATIC HOLDS - 2X30s... 2) BANDED BLOCK PRESS - 9x3 (change grip every 3 sets) 3) BENT OVER BB ROW - 6x5 4) LATERAL RAISE - 3x12-15 5) DB INCLINE BENCH PRESS - 2x1min 6) JM PRESS - 2x20 @onlinestrengthcoaching for all your programming needs! #thestrengthshak #onlinestrengthcoaching #dynamiceffortmethod #dynamiceffortupper #blockbenchpress #triceps #delts #pecs #back #barbellrows #jmpress #conjugatemethod

14.01.2022 Here is a combination of TRIGGER POINT RELEASES and ACTIVE STRETCHING which I use after a few HOURS AT THE DESK. 1. UPPER TRAP RELEASE 2. LOWER TRAP RELEASE 3. INFRASPINATUS RELEASE... 4. NECK C.A.R's *NOTE ON THE PIN AND STRETCH TECHNIQUE* This is one of the best ways to release a muscle by yourself. We will PIN DOWN the "knot" or sore spot with our massage device, then STRETCH THE MUSCLE belly by taking it through its SHORTENED AND LENGTHENED range of motion. This allows the ball or roller to work over those trigger points while you keep the majority of your weight on that spot. @thestrengthshak #mobility #thestrengthshak #onlinestrengthcoaching #necktightness #stiffneck #deskposture #deskposturetherapy #deskpostureproblems #stiffneck #uppertrap #lowertrap #scalenes #infraspinatus #shoulderhealth #neckhealth

13.01.2022 I have gone all out on the conjugate method for my training over the last few months, loving the variety in programming and trying out different methods. Got some chains in at THE SHAK this week, keep an eye out for these over the next few weeks. SPEED kills and is a HUGE PLAYER IN FORCE PRODUCTION, an overlooked part of weight training. TRAIN SLOW GET SLOW.... (Chains were a little high off the ground for squats, but give me a break it was my first time) SPEED SQUATS w/CHAINS - 8x2 HANG CLEANS - 6x1 NORDIC ISOMETRIC HOLDS (These burn) - 3x30s HANGING LEG RAISES - 3x10 #dynamiceffort #dynamiceffortlower #speedsquats #hangcleans #nordics #hanginglegraises #glutes #hamstrings #power #powerdevelopment #core #strengthtraining #thestrengthshak #onlinestrengthcoaching #strengthcoach #personaltrainer #strong #fitness #health

11.01.2022 Focusing on building pressing strength currently, starting to gain momentum! REVERSE BENCH ISO HOLDS (PRIMING) - 2X30s FLOOR PRESS - WORK UP TO 1RM ROLLING DB TRICEP EXTENSIONS - 3X10-15... WIDE GRIP PULL UPS - 3X6-8 STANDING DB OVERHEAD PRESS - 3X15 Shattered that Trent Simpson grabbed the bar (thought I had the rep) but appreciate you looking out for me! Make sure you push your accessories just as hard as your main lifts! That's where the gains are made. #maxeffort #maxeffortupper #floorpress #triceps #tricepextensions #pullups #lats #dboverheadpress #shoulders #strengthtraining #thestrengthshak #onlinestrengthcoaching #strengthcoach #personaltrainer #strong #fitness #health

08.01.2022 Pushed hard this week and earned a few PB's! Happy with how my strength is progressing. Plyometric Push Ups - 2x5 Seated OHP Off Pins - HEAVY 5 Close Grip Bench Press - HEAVY 2... Neutral Grip Chin Up - 3x6-8 DB Zottman Curls - 3x`0 1 Arm Band Tricep EXT - 2x50ea Speed work over the weekend, SWITCHING INTENT from HEAVY to FAST!

05.01.2022 All clean and ready for 2021! The Shak offers 1-1 PT or 2-1 sessions which are great for those looking to save $$$ Looking for a way to feel more confident with your training and push yourself harder? Look no more. ... Message me to get started! #thestrengthshak

04.01.2022 Getting the most out of your single leg work. The single leg squat or "pistol squat" is a really challenging exercise which exposes mobility issues quickly. One common fault is that people can't organize their body to shift back and will lose balance forwards. ... By using a small plate out in front of you, you can create a counter balance in order to give to some added core stability and allow you to shift backwards further into the squat. This improves range of motion and gets more work out of your legs too!! #thestrengthshak #pistolsquat #squattips #legday #singleleg #exercise

02.01.2022 The Shak is starting to really take shape! Loving the new lifting platform couple other NEW pieces of equipment on the way too Can't wait to be open in full capacity, but outdoor sessions have been a good way to get some gains in the sun! #thestrengthshak #onlinestrengthcoaching #opengyms

01.01.2022 Nothing too exciting going on with training. OUTDOOR SESSIONS ARE BACK ON AT THE STRENGTH SHAK, HIT ME UP FOR INFO! I'm flat out doing 50+ hours a week at work. Finding it hard to balance work, sleep, food, training and relationships. ... But it's when shit gets tough that I need training even more. It keeps me in check. Have cut back my training to 3 days a week and am prioritizing rest and active recovery over heavy weights. I'm still focusing on force production, trying to execute on the speed of movement. Anyways enough from me. Hang cleans at 80kg, 10 sets of 1. #thestrengthshak #onlinestrengthcoaching
