24.01.2022 You aren't going to perfect anything in 6 months. There's the hard truth. If you truly want to be good at something, put lots of energy and focus into it and you will reap the rewards. I'm pretty happy with how far my pullups have come to date, and I can't wait to keep on improving them. I'm not satisfied with okay, I'm going to be great at these!... This is also a reminder that reps aren't everything. You may be able to rep out 10 pullups, but what is the quality of those pullups? It's not my goal to hit a rep number. My goal is to get stronger by improving exercise execution and providing a good stimulus to my muscles to respond and grow from. Practice your form #RRPT

22.01.2022 What is a good way to make an exercise harder, without adding extra weight you may ask? This would be my response Slow it down. Changing the exercise tempo, or the speed of movement at different stages throughout an exercise, can drastically increase the difficulty As you can see in the video, I have gone for a short pause at the top of each rep, with a slow descent back to the starting dead hang position. What this does, is lengthen the amount of time our muscles are un...der tension for each set Try implement this into your training regimine. It will not only make the exercise more difficult, but will also give you a better understanding of each movement pattern, learning how and what muscles contract for different exercises and improve mind to muscle connection #RRPT

18.01.2022 Archer push-ups Push-ups can be a great exercise, but if you don't have access to extra weight they can be difficult to progressively overload The archer push up is one advanced push-up technique that can do that for you... By keeping one side mostly straight, this can turn the push up into a unilateral movement Whilst there is still some involvement from the side where the arm is straight, you are predominantly using one side of your body to push yourself back up This is a great exercise to increase push up difficulty and ensure you keep getting stronger Also, it is good for identifying any muscular imbalances you may have, and can even those out for you Enusre you do the same amount of repetitions for both sides of the body Give this exercise a go to take your push-ups to the next level Royce

18.01.2022 Hi Team, due to unforeseen circumstances, class is cancelled for tonight. Sorry for any inconvenience! No need to worry, I'm okay Sunday afternoon session is still on, so I hope to see you then! Full body workout is in store. Tailrace at 6pm, Sunday

17.01.2022 Here is a spicy way of increasing the difficulty with your reverse lunges! Perform anywhere between 8-12 repetitions of reverse lunges, one side before the other (making sure you do the same amount of repetitions on both sides!) Afterwards, you are going straight into a dropset with alternating reverse lunges! Say you did 10 reps on each leg with the weights, you would do 20 total alternating lunges!... This kind of set increases the overall volume of your training sets in a smart and efficient way. If you are like me and don't have access to super heavy dumbbells all the time, then give this dropset a go! You can replicate this with most exercises in one way or another #RRPT #calisthenics #reverselunges #bodyweight #bodyweighttraining #bodyweightexercises #lunges #workouttips #workout #exercise #personaltrainer #launcestonfitness #launceston #inspo #fitfam #fitness #fitnessmotivation #barbrothers

13.01.2022 Some pretty nice squats coming in from the Stoltmeister! John is one of my clients who has been with me since launching Royce Reid Personal Training. During that time, John has had to overcome some hurdles in regards to injuries, which has unfortunately limited his progress with upper body strengthening exercises. With this in mind, it was important for us to re-evaluate and focus on areas we can improve on ... Therefore, lower body strengthening and some conditioning work has been some of our top priorities. As you can see in the video, John smashed the 20 reps of squats with 15kg with plenty left in the tank. Shifting John's focus away from negativity in regards to his injuries, and into areas we have and will continue to improve on, has helped give his training more purpose Some areas we have been able to improve on are: Goblet squat strength/technique Reverse lunge stability Recovery between sets Battle rope duration & intensity Remember, focus on the things that you can change, not the ones that you can't

12.01.2022 Want to make your push-ups harder? Pullups starting to get too easy? Try implementing this method if you don't have access to external weight or resistance This is just a short extract from my latest YouTube video that I just uploaded, where I go into detail in ways to increase difficulty of your bodyweight exercises Link is in my bio/down below to go and watch!!... https://youtu.be/38kbtfwhSn4

12.01.2022 Royce Reid Personal Training has now officially been operating for 1 year! (okay I was nine days late to the party, oops) I'm incredibly happy with where this has taken me so far, and I can see so many possibilities for the future I can safely say that entering into the fitness industry and starting my own training business is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I can't put into words how rewarding I find this. Seeing people genuinely happy with my services and expert...ise, helping them implement healthy habits and live better lives for it, is an indescribable feeling. I am truly grateful for this opportunity I have A big thank you to all my past and present clients, you have all been amazing to work with. I not only thankyou for your loyalty, but praise you for all the dedication you show both in and out of our sessions. Credit goes to all of you for the progress you have made Lastly, a thanks to all who have been supporting and watching me from the sidelines. Your ongoing support means the world, whether you are liking and sharing my posts or cheering on from afar, I see you all. THANK YOU for sticking around and helping me help others Now, onto bigger and better things! #RRPT

11.01.2022 Not holding back on this one... There are a lot of factors when it comes to increasing strength and making progress in the gym The three listed here are some of the most important (in my opinion) ... First of all, stop trying to lift more than what you can actually do comfortably. Sacrificing good technique for more reps with poor quality technique is never a good idea. Then you wonder why you aren't progressing with exercises... Because you aren't performing them correctly! Next up, make sure you are consistenty giving maximum effort in your training sessions (with the exclusions of deload weeks). This is a no brainier, if the effort isn't there, you can't expect to see results And finally, possibly the most underrated point. Sleep! So important! This is the time in our days when our bodies are resting the most, and relaxed. Improving length and quality of sleep will increase your overall recovery rate, meaning you can train hard again!

11.01.2022 I'm truly grateful to have such an amazing group of Students to coach week to week A massive well done to you all, consistently putting in effort every session, with the results to show Also, swipe right to see Charlie being disgusted with me (maybe, idk) and Dylan with a bell on his head ... If you are interested in joining our amazing group and trying the Bodyweight Strength Classes, send me a message and I'll shoot you through the details

09.01.2022 BuT BuRpEeS KiCk mY BuTt Okay I get it. Burpees do make you tired, and they make you sweat, and raise your heart rate. Does that make it a good training session?... No, you got tired and fatigued without really tracking progress There are a plethora of great exercises out there if you want to get stronger that are 10x better than burpees Cardio is a different question However I'm not here to talk about Burpees today, oops What I am here for, is to say how disgusting some people in the fitness industry can be for making money off of people who are trying to learn and better their health, with get fit quick schemes and supplements they endorse that you don't really need It isn't your fault though You've been told by multiple sources and the biggest "influencers" that you need these products to see results I'm telling you that based on scientific evidence you don't need a Juice cleanse You don't need 174 different supplements Seek out a professional and get the right information If you are scared to enter the gym, start at home. Then when you get the courage to go to the gym, hire a coach for a couple of sessions to learn the ropes It's a deceptive and cruel industry, so stick to the basics. That's all you need I'm hoping this has helped and has reached the right person With kindness, Royce

09.01.2022 Good morning Team! Bodyweight Strength Class is ON this afternoon, from 6:00-7:15pm at Tailrace Park, Riverside! Weather is looking good outside, so I hope to see you there!... Royce

08.01.2022 Super proud of my friend and client @lucy_nothrop! Lucy is visiting from the mainland for a few months, and wanted to train with me and gain strength whilst she was here! During the two months Lucy has been currently training with me, one of her goals was to be able to do pullups!... We started off with rows and worked our way up to chin ups. Once she was comfortable with chin ups, we decided to implement in the pullup! Since starting, Lucy has increased her pullup repetitions from 3-4 strict repetitions up to 9, for sets! Although she has made tremendous progress already in regards to her strength, the most pleasing part of her progress is her confidence. Lucy feels in control of most movements we do, and her attention to detail with her technique cues has allowed her to feel confident with improving every session I'm very proud of her and I am more than confident that when she returns home, she will keep making progress with the knowledge she has gained

07.01.2022 It's fantastic to hear this kind of feedback.

06.01.2022 The amount of hard work this fella puts in is unreal From doing pullups with multiple resistance bands (approx 25-30kg of assistance) to now performing 3 sets of 5 bodyweight (no assistance), his progress is pretty inspiring to say the least From day one of starting the bodyweight classes, James has shown up to almost every session and given his best effort.... You could say I'm quite proud of how far James has come. But I am not surprised about it, at all. Consistency, hard work and a solid diet has cemented James' ongoing strength gains I can't wait to see what James achieves next

05.01.2022 This isn't even a debate Stop looking for a miracle workout regime It doesn't exist... You are better off to stick to a program where you know you can workout consistently 3 times per week In comparison to another program that wants you to workout 5-6 times per week, that you know you won't be able to stick to Choose some exercises you somewhat enjoy Do them each week Gradually make them harder by increasing reps, sets, total volume, reducing rest time, supersetting, changing tempo etc (progressively overloading) Eat and sleep well, you'll see progress Don't take on more than what you think you can And one more time Be consistent Love Royce xx

04.01.2022 Due to poor weather conditions, today's class at Tailrace is cancelled. So sorry to all who wished to make it. I'll see you all on Tuesday for our final session before Christmas Regards, Royce

03.01.2022 Another guest appearance from the Bethmeister once again These Beth weighted push-ups are starting to feel awesome! They started off tonight's workout and I got 3x8 which I'm pleased about Whilst my reps haven't increased on these dramatically, my technique and speed of repetitions has improved heaps. Much more controlled ... Remember, there are more ways to track your progress than just increased repetitions/sets! A few examples are: improved exercise execution, technique, body control, muscle engagement, how difficult the set was, improved rate of recovery and the list can go on Remember, look at lots of different angles on how you could be improving! #RRPT

03.01.2022 Check out the team in action at class from a few Fridays ago! This was an intense pushup drill, where each person waits their turn in line to do their pushup, up and down the line! The more people that drop out of the line, the more push-ups the rest of the squad had to do!... Last man standing If you are wanting to gain some strength, confidence and be around a fun and energetic group of people, send me a message for some information about our group classes I would love to hear from you! Talk soon, Royce

01.01.2022 Resistance bands are commonly used to make exercises easier, and are useful for Warm-up routines Here, I am using the band to add resistance instead Using a band for resistance instead of a weight and belt for instance, is slightly different... When the band has more tension, more resistance is applied. Therefore, we know that the hardest part of the banded dip will be at the top when the band is the tightest This also means, that on your descent from the top, the band will literally try to push you down. So, this also makes the start of the descent quite a challenge too So if you are having a hard time with your lockout strength for weighted dips, try out this variation. You'll thank me later

01.01.2022 Good morning Team! Bodyweight Strength Class is on tonight with a focus on lower body strength using unilateral exercises! For any information or queries, send me a message... 6:30-7:30pm at Crossfit Levitate, Invermay Hope to see you there!
