24.01.2022 Client Oliver squatting 100kg x5 reps at 80kg bodyweight. This guy started 9 weeks ago with a 5 rep max of 75kg. Awesome progress and much more to come.

23.01.2022 I believe that the biggest thing that stops people from taking action towards taking up training, or even other unfamiliar things in life is self doubt. (What if I don't stick to it? What if I'm no good? What if I can't do it?) Self doubt will begin to go away as soon as you start taking steps towards the thing you want to do. You might surprise yourself and find you can do things you thought you never would. It's better to at least try, otherwise you'll spend your life quest...ioning the idea without taking action. Another thing stopping people from taking action is not wanting to give up their lifestyle ("I won't be able to go out drinking as much", "I'll have to eat better"). You will find the "sacrifice" is worth it and you will thank yourself. You only get one life and one body- it makes sense to take the best possible care of it. Training can make you age slower and feel better. It may be a challenging step at first, but before long it becomes more difficult NOT to train.

22.01.2022 Board Press is a great movement to iron out sticking points through the middle portion of the Bench Press By using a 2 board, you're pausing and pressing right where that sticking point starts and also using more weight than you would normally be able to. This allows you to overload your sticking point which will only make you stronger and stop you from slowing down as much in the middle of your Bench If you have a sticking point in the middle of your Bench, I'd recomme...nd sets of 1-4 on the board press after your main bench work. With all this being said - always make sure you're using optimal technique before turning to variations to fix weak points. Weak points usually come from a less than optimal set up. However, if you have a good set up and technique then any weak points that present themselves will be legit. If that's the case, then is the time to use variations such as this. See more

22.01.2022 Bench Sesh 110kg x5 115kg x4 120kg x3 (shown) 125kg x2 (shown)... 130kg x1 (shown) Out of the 3 big lifts, Bench Press requires the most effort and discomfort to get a tight set up. This makes it very easy to accidentally slack off in your set up and make your benching harder than it needs to be. When you're benching, take the time to set up as tight and as efficiently as possible every time you Bench. Once you nail a consistent and tight set up, Bench gainz will come a lot easier.

19.01.2022 Jarryd hitting 120kg for a 5 rep PB on Squats with relatively good form. This guy had a 5RM of 85kg 13 weeks ago and we still have a long way to go. Good programming from myself combined with fantastic effort put in by Jarryd is bringing him awesome results.

18.01.2022 ARE YOU WONDERING WHEN YOU SHOULD START COMPETING? The answer is - As soon as YOU want to and when YOU feel like you're ready. As long as you have an understanding of the rules and can do the lifts in a competition style (Squat to depth, Bench by bringing the bar to dead stop before you press and Deadlift without hitching) then you're good to go. It doesn't matter how much weight you can currently lift. I've had numerous people say to me, "I want to compete but my coach t...hinks I should wait until I'm stronger". If your coach is telling you this, then get rid of them off immediately! Coaches who say things like this don't have your best interest at heart. They want to be seen as "everyone I coach is really strong" and are worried about looking bad if they have their clients compete "too early". This is a very uneducated way of thinking. NOTHING grows you more than competition! The people at the top didn't start at the top, they started competing early on and kept pushing for more. Competing makes you want it more and therefore makes you take everything a little more seriously. Because of this, when you start competing a few times a year, you get stronger a lot faster than you would have otherwise. Find a coach who genuinely wants to see you become the best you can be and start competing now! You'll thank yourself for it.

08.01.2022 Strength Training can vastly improve your life as it gives you something to strive for. Once you start training, you start getting excited about being bigger and stronger. It becomes something that drives you to get out of bed every day. You find yourself doing things that you never thought you were capable of, which gives you a strong sense of pride while leaving you hungry for more. If you're already training and want to turn it up a notch, I can help you push yours...elf to higher levels of strength. If you've never picked up a weight in your life and would like to give it a try, I can help you get started and teach you how to lift correctly. From there I can program you in a way that will give you rapid strength gains. If you're someone who plays a sport, incorporating some Strength Training will improve your performance and reduce your risk of injury.

07.01.2022 Deadlifts 192.5kg x9 (and a bit) Key accesory work to build a strong Deadlift: Speed Pulls (Sometimes with external resistance)... Block Pulls Vertical Pull (Chin Ups) Horizontal Pull (Bent Over Rows, Dumbell Rows, Seal Rows) Trunk flexion/extension - these help a lot for lockout (Glute Ham Raises and Hyper Deadlifts are two of the best) Message me if you are interested in doing some Personal Training with me and/or would like some programming to reach your goals.

07.01.2022 The term "Posture Rehabilitation" sounds boring, however the results you see in the picture below were all done with weight training. Specifically Deadlifts, Rows and Face-Pulls (the fun stuff). Good posture is a side effect of weight training. Not only does standing taller make you look better, it will also make you feel a lot better. It can also eliminate headaches, neck problems and tightness in your muscles. Kyphotic posture (slouched back, rounded shoulders) generally co...mes from sitting too long in a leaning forward position. Stand up and stretch once in a while to avoid this and come and see me.

07.01.2022 Unfortunately so many people struggle to grasp the concept of body composition. Judge your progress off what you see in the mirror, not the number on the scale. Your percentage of muscle mass and percentage of bodyfat are far more relevant to how you look than the number that you see on the scale. Have you ever had a certain "goal weight" and spent months doing a bunch of cardio Then when you hit that number, only to realise you've landed looking skinnyfat with no shape? Lift... some weights, clean up your diet and throw in some low intensity cardio and you will be well on your way to a stronger and better looking body. If you have body goals / strength goals that you want to hit - Message me for Personal Training / Programming Enquiries and we'll get you moving in the right direction.

06.01.2022 Squats 190kg / 418lb x5

05.01.2022 Deadlifts 220kg/485lb x5, this is a beltless PB and Hook Grip PB My Deadlift positioning is feeling so much better. Hook Grip allows you to be more upright and allows far superior leverages than a mix grip does I have been taping my thumbs for Hook Grip and it removes 80% of the pain that you get. I barely felt the pressure on my thumbs in this set. If you're pulling Hook Grip and it's hurting your thumbs, try taping them. You will be amazed at how much less it hurts Tape is allowed in competition in GPC and IPF. I am not sure about other federations.

01.01.2022 BENEFITS OF HOOK GRIP Grip Will Not Slip. With a hook grip, your thumb anchors your hand to the bar. While it is a little painful, if you hold on a hook grip will not break. Symmetrical Shoulders. With a mix grip, the supine arm will often sit a little higher and increases your range of motion. With a hook grip, both shoulders sit level and reduce your range of motion. A More Upright Position. Due to Symetrical shoulders, a hook grip allows you to externally rotate ...your shoulders and pull your chest up a lot more before you pull. This is very beneficial to Sumo Deadlifters as a more upright position leads to tighter lats and superior leverage. Reduced Range of Motion. With a mix grip, you need to crank the bar into your palm for a strong grip. With a hook grip, you can hold the bar where your fingers meet your palm. This alongside evenly balanced shoulders can cut your range of motion by a few inches. The Bar Stays Closer. A common issue I see with mix grip is the bar twisting out a little away from the supine hand. With a hook grip, you are able to pull the bar into your body as you pull. This ensures that the bar will never drift away from you during the pull. Minimises Strain on Biceps. With both hands being pronated, hook grip minimizes strain on the biceps during the pull. While it is a rare occueance, I have seen people tear their bicep using a mix grip due to bicep strain on the supine side. Keep in mind that hook grip is painful initially but will stop hurting after a while. It will be worth it in the long run. If you have any questions feel free to ask me If you are interested in Powerlifting and want some coaching on your lifts, send me a message. I'm here to help Hook Grip 200kg x5 shown below.
