24.01.2022 Practice makes perfect. Strength Training is no exception. Jeremy has been following individual training with me for a while and here he is practicing a One Arm Chinup Strength pattern. For a FREE consultation email [email protected] ... A few important notes when practicing your own strength: 1) "Enjoy yourself, do not kill yourself" ~ Pavel. Keep the reps clean, do not train to failure. Are you practicing being strong? Or practicing failing reps? 2) Do as much volume (Reps x Sets x sessions) as possible. Volume is the foundation variable that catalyses adaptation within the body. Are you practicing enough to create changes? 3) Rest ENOUGH between repeating movements. Are you practicing Strength... or Conditioning? Pure strength work demands you rest at least 5mins between sets in order to maintain CLEAN EXECUTION for the high VOLUME. This rest period can be used to train complimentary kinetic chains, perform mobility work, improve your tissue quality (rehab/prehab) etc. #whatdoyouwant #practiceit #principles

23.01.2022 BODYBUILDING AND MOVEMENT: Muscular size is an indication of inefficiency. The smaller person who can lift the same as the heavier person in my books is the more efficient lifter.... Size is trained and developed using a high volume of inefficient movements (Isolation exercises, machines etc) And eating a high volume of inefficient foods (Low in MICROnutrients like vitamins, minerals etc and high in MACROnutrients like protein, carbs and fat) The dominant limitation in bodybuilding is the degradation of tissue quality. By supplementing your bodybuilding practices with EFFICIENT movement based practices (Like the strength and recovery practices we teach) you will maintain healthier tissues. If your tissues are healthy you will recover faster, train harder and get more results from your training efforts. How do you train efficient and holistic qualities back into your body? Stay tuned for another post, or you can come to one of our classes this week to learn our unique perspective on training. Your first class is on the house to see if our perspective can improve your training. Timetable can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/897441573701981/ Train hard, Oscar

22.01.2022 Because I have dreams too... Flexibility is an exercise in patience. #vandamme #imcomingforyou

Can you control your body with strength, balance, power, speed? Can you control someone/something else? Can you move through your environment? Are you injury free? Our approach is grounded in reality, we develop these qualities through proven Movement Disciplines (Gymnastics, Martial Arts, Weightlifing, Parkour etc) and tie them together with common principles of Human Movement. All open minded humans are welcome! See more

14.01.2022 Bec is using her newly developed strength to demonstrate a Feet Supported Pike Dip. This movement is an excellent bridging progression to achieve a full Dip. Performance cues: - keep Scapulae depressed, contract arms tight into body.... - squeeze the rings with your grip, and contract your core to imagine lifting your feet off the box. - Hold the rep locked out at the top for 1-3sec & take 3-5sec to pull yourself down each rep. I recommend progressively developing the capacity to perform 5reps X5-8 sets in a single session. When you can perform this volume cleanly, you should be able to perform a full Ring Dip. *This guidance is not exhaustive. It is most likely that you have tightnesses and weaknesses in specific joints/tissues that will NEED to be addressed in order to maximise your progress and longevity. This is where you need a Teacher. To enquire about a FREE specific, individual assessment please email me at [email protected].

12.01.2022 Biomechanical Principles Training Workshop Yesterday we spent a solid 8 hours of investigating and training the principles of Human Biomechanics. Applied to powerful physical practices such as Gymnastics, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Parkour and Olympic Weightlifting, Rehabilitation and bodybuilding for weak areas. Honour the fact that you are human, but realise that we don't need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to training. There is already a lot of good stuff out there in speci...alised fields. Thank you to the hard working, open-minded humans who sacrificed their time to learn from us. We appreciate your effort x

10.01.2022 Physical Freedom Workshop & Weekly Class Push the boundaries of what you can do today, so you can do more tomorrow. In these classes we push multiple boundari...es simultaneously (strength, coordination, flexibility, tendon thickness and elasticity, flow, and more, and more). Whilst keeping the practice as balanced as possible for everyone who comes. In our upcoming workshop, we cover the PROCESS in detail, the how and why of removing physical limitations and creating FREEDOM!

08.01.2022 Wrist Conditioning. The cornerstone should be variety. If you are experiencing limitations, weakness, tightness or pain in the wrists and hands you should inv...estigate the widest variety of positions. And then develop the positions that give you trouble. If you are looking for... A helping hand (pun intended) to develop those positions get involved in the classes https://www.facebook.com/groups/897441573701981/ Or send an email to [email protected] to begin discussion #handstand #wrist #rehab #prehab #crossfit See more

08.01.2022 Deficit Pushups are a good bridging tool between Pushups and Dips. The key is to prioritise sending the elbow behind the body (shoulder extension), this mimics ...the shape of the shoulders during the dip thus making it transferable.

08.01.2022 What's at the heart of being Physically Free? In my opinion the healthiest practice you can have, is to CONSTANTLY learn a new PHYSICAL skillset. This will force you to overcome limitations and habits that transcend the physical expression. It will keep you adaptable, fresh, and you will have a USEFUL set of abilities to show for your efforts. In our upcoming workshop, we are super excited to share a "Toolbox" (among many, many other aspects) to assist your body to LEARN and ...maintain health whilst learning new movement disciplines. Check out the link below for details! https://www.facebook.com/events/1530912223870959/ See you there! Oscar :)

08.01.2022 A short discussion I had the privilege of sharing with an important mentor of mine, Benny Fergusson aka the Movement Monk! Here we dissect a couple of perspectives that can revolutionize your training practices. 1) Principles over techniques. 2) The role of Adaptation... This weeks events will cover these principles in detail, book in so you don't miss out!

07.01.2022 One of the reasons I love this space. Despite what the "Fitness" Industry advertises, you do not need much equipment to train a very capable, strong, mobile and healthy body. More often than not we become dependant on our equipment or training tools.... So by simplifying your training tools, you will maximise your own body's development. Praxis Athletic - the space where gains are made.

03.01.2022 Flexibility & Strength. If you possess flexibility in a joint, you have a responsibility to develop some basic strength there. If you neglect this now, you will get caught out and be forced to put in the time in the future to reclaim what you've lost. This principle is at the core of remaining resilient to injuries. If you are looking for guidance into protecting yourself from injuries, send me an email at [email protected] to discuss how to begin. ... #shoulders #gymnastics #gst #movement #movementculture #handstand #mobility #rehab #prehab #calisthenics #crossfit #gymnasticswod #bodybuilding #flexibility See more
