25.01.2022 With the 2016 Crossfit Open now in full swing we all know muscle ups will feature at some point. Remember to keep it to a number you know you can do with no misses. Strategy is key to success.

24.01.2022 A little finisher at the end of a big gymnastics session. Max effort hang on the bar. One athlete managed to hold for 3 minutes! Incredible effort. What's your time...??... #grip #gripstrength #bodyweight #gymnastics #buildingstrength #corestrength #corestability #stability #movementculture #bodydefinition #gymfollow #strongcore #gymnastics #bodyweight #ability #rings #strength #power #powerful #coordination #bodybalance #awareness #bodyawareness #drills #shockyourbody #thiswillwork #new #success #different #bdgym

22.01.2022 With the Crossfit Open coming up athletes need to make sure their basic movements are ready. These will transfer into the more advanced skills and higher rep schemes. What workouts do you think will be produced this year??

21.01.2022 Hope everyone is enjoying the open so far! 2 more workouts to go so make sure your gymnastics skills are up to scratch. Still yet to see: - Ring Muscle ups - Handstand push ups (kipping or strict) ... Will they come up separately or together? Good luck team

21.01.2022 Merry Christmas to everyone As we move to a new year everyone has new goals and aspirations. Look forward to what you want to achieve and focus on making it a reality. For next year One of my personal goals is to push hard and help as many athletes as possible to achieve their goals........ Whether its a new skill, better position in the Crossfit Open or even to build basic gymnastics skills and strength......Your goal is my goal Hope you all have a great day and an incredible New Year!!

20.01.2022 Been trying to get a skill but something just isn't working? Body is use to the same preparations and not seeing any improvement? Is gymnastics simply holding you back??... Message now for some info on training sessions or programming

18.01.2022 I've started my athletes on a new strict strength program to aid in their training performance. If you have any questions or are looking to improve your training contact me for more details...

18.01.2022 In a brand new facility so brought some new skills into the workouts. Here the team are going through a fun AMRAP testing awareness as well as strength.

18.01.2022 Practice always makes perfect. With the increase of synchro work in every competition it's always good try it in training. Not only does it help improve your team environment but it helps to improve your own timing and speed with movements. Tips: ... - Rhythm is key - Stronger athlete must adjust to other athletes

18.01.2022 Accessory work is always a vital part of training. You have to train your body to train the skill. Understand which muscles to isolate and which positions to be in. #bodyawareness #gymnastics #bodyweight #ability #rings #strength #power #powerful #coordination #bodybalance #awareness #bodyawareness #drills #shockyourbody #thiswillwork #new #success #different #bdgym #buildingstrength #corestrength #corestability #stability #movementculture #bodydefinition #gymfollow #strongcore #goldcoastfitness

17.01.2022 The Crossfit open is fast approaching.... Do you have your gymnastics on point? Can you toes to bar for reps? ... Are you doing butterfly for efficiency? And can you muscle up?? If you need any answers to these questions or feel like you need help with any technique issues I'm only a message or session away.

16.01.2022 Great gymnastics class the other night at Body Dynamics.

If your looking to join in a class come on down to Body Dynamics, Wednesday nights at 7pm. Spaces are limited

15.01.2022 Starting a new season of training for the year or working on weaknesses for next years open? I have limited spots available so if your interested or know someone who is contact me on 0402108184 and lets get you ready

15.01.2022 As a coach it has always been my mission to provide every athlete I work with a path to success. Each athlete is different and the same drill or explanation does not work for everyone. Being able to relate to that athlete and explain in a way that resinates with them has proven to be the biggest success in training.... #knowyourathlete #athletequotes #athletelife #coachlife #athletesfirst #athletejourney #roadtosuccess #coachingworks #coachinglife #gymnastics #bodyweight #ability #rings #strength #power #powerful #coordination #bodybalance #awareness #bodyawareness #drills #shockyourbody #thiswillwork #new #success #different #bdgym See more

11.01.2022 Sometimes athletes have a high enough swing, strong pull and good dip. But they just aren't coming through enough on the rings. Have some fun with the drills and give the athlete a target. Visual targets always make a difference.

10.01.2022 When working with Bar muscle up it's important to have a good kip swing and first pull. In the first video we can see athlete Jacqui white working on the height of her kip swing with straight arms. This increases her strength and power before the turnover. With focus on just this area all athletes improved their bar muscle up in just one session. ... Don't forget the basics.

10.01.2022 What a great weekend! Had the opportunity to be part of an amazingly talented coaching team on the Underground RX training camp. The weekend consisted of experts in running, weightlifting, gymnastics, rowing and Crossfit. With such a great group of athletes willing to learn, it was my pleasure to pass on some skills and knowledge within the area of Gymnastics.... If you or your box are interested in a Gymnastics seminar please contact me on Facebook or through email [email protected]

08.01.2022 Emma Ferrante (Raw Iron) was set a task of completing a certain amount of muscle ups within a 10 min EMOM. She could complete as many as she wished within each minute, and she had the option of pushing out more if she felt strong towards the end. This style of training taught Emma how to create a strategy to which she could complete reps up until the final seconds of a workout. ... New PB of Ring Muscle ups in 10 mins

07.01.2022 One of my favourite drills to use when learning a hollow shape and kipping on the bar. This drill teaches you to isolate the correct muscle groups. Give it a try and tell me how you go

06.01.2022 With The Crossfit Open just around the corner muscle ups have been the biggest challenge. Week after week I have had athletes come to see me, and now 1 by 1 they are mastering the skill! It's such a big accomplishment just before the competition....why not celebrate with a dance

06.01.2022 A big thank you to Logan, Shane, Mel and Brendan from CrossFit 4165 Redland Bay as they hosted me for a Gymnastics Coaching seminar. Throughout the the session we broke down and went through all drills, techniques and cues for these four main gymnastic movements: - Bar muscle up... - Ring muscle up - Butterfly pull ups - Handstand shaping and walking As well as coaching they are now able to spot their athletes through the movements at each fundamental stage. If your box is interested in a Gymnastics Training or Coaching seminar please contact me for more details.

06.01.2022 Getting stronger is a vital part of training. As a gymnastics coach I like to break down the movements and improve any areas of weakness. Straight arm conditioning is a great way to strengthen multiple muscles groups for your skills. Here is Kristy working on her straight arm Lat pull down for the Bar Muscle Up

05.01.2022 Practice makes perfect! With handstands this is a vital part of the process. The more time you can spend upside down the better! For drills to improve your position inbox me your questions!

01.01.2022 Life is better upside down..... But to be able to stay there you need to understand body control and positioning. Here are some simple drills to help

01.01.2022 Another successful seminar completed. Had the pleasure of visiting PFRM and working with their athletes. Was great to go through some of the basic movements with them to ensure they are ready and efficient for the Crossfit open.... It was also great to work with their coaches on the course to help them assist and provide the corrective feedback needed for their athletes. If your box is looking for a workshop for athletes or coaches send me a message and let's organise a day

01.01.2022 Had the pleasure of working with an amazing athlete this week. She has been to every regionals event, has Crossfit games experience and is looking great again for this year. Francine Pehi came down to improve on her gymnastic ability and overall body awareness. In a two hour session we accomplished so much and saw incredible improvements....
