25.01.2022 Tropical Smoothie 1 - Banana 1 Cup - Frozen Strawberries 1 Cup - Frozen Mango (dont throw yours on the floor)... 1 TSP - Coconut Oil 300 ML - Full Cream Milk 1 Scoop - Vanilla Whey Protein #5daysmoothiechallenge Whitney Anastasia Moore

24.01.2022 While The Strength Shak is participating in #thepushupchallenge there is no better time for this quick guide on push up technique! Many faults start with people try to do push ups they arent quite ready for. The most simple way to fix most of these is to elevate your push ups on a bar or bench so you can focus on moving correctly. One you understand how to properly set up, brace and perform a push up from the bar, then its time to move down to the floor!... Performing reps with bad technique is a sure fire way to injure yourself while training so take your time and do it right...

23.01.2022 Good spot for some morning mobility! Today included; T-spine rolling Side lying windmill... Yoga Plex Band distracted Couch stretch 15 minutes of movement to start the day and open up the body!

22.01.2022 Big day for the team with 201 push ups to complete! Heres 20 of mine from todays total of 60

22.01.2022 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! Becoming more POWERFUL EACH WEEK. #thestrengthshak #onlinestrengthcoaching #maxeffortupper #pressingstrength

21.01.2022 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

20.01.2022 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

20.01.2022 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

18.01.2022 Week two of the #pushupchallenge Feeling refreshed after an off day and some sunshine! What a better way to start the week than a nice walk in the sun and some push ups ... You can donate to raise funds for Headspace Australia below with The Strength Shak Team!! https://www.thepushupchallenge.com.au//10800-the-strength-

17.01.2022 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

16.01.2022 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.

15.01.2022 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.Rs *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

07.01.2022 Simple cue to help those who often feel a pinch in their shoulder during some movements. More often than not, getting set in an externally rotates position will put the shoulder in the right position to move, pain free. If youve got shoulder problems, consider me to get your training back on track and get you moving correctly ... #theshak #onlinestrengthcoaching

06.01.2022 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

06.01.2022 Spending more time at your desk? Try these ones! This quick and simple mobility routine is sure to open up your body from being stuck in poor seating postures.... You dont need much space, this can even be done in your home office! - Couch stretch: 30-60s each side - T-spine opener: 8 reps - Active hamstring lengthening: 10 each side - Worlds greatest stretch: 10 reps #thestrengthshak #deskposture #mobility

05.01.2022 Little face lift at THE STRENGTH SHAK Super happy to have finally gotten a POWER RACK in the gym. This is going to be a great addition to training! I think it makes the gym look pretty nice too ;) Cant wait to share it with my wonderful clients when restrictions pass, but for now, know that @scotty_j_simpson is in home gym HEAVEN!... Thanks to @verve_fitness for their fast delivery and quality power rack! #thestrengthshak #vervefitness #powerrack #strengthtraining #homegym #garagegym #garagegoals

05.01.2022 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

04.01.2022 4 ways to INCREASE DIFFICULTY of YOUR HOME WORKOUTS! 1.Control your tempo. This is the first thing to consider when wanting to increase the difficulty of your at home sessions. Use your phones stopwatch or try this metronome (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymJIXzvDvj4). ... Control your reps for 3-5 seconds on the up and down portion of the movement. You can also add pauses at the weak part of the movement (i.e. bottom of squat or push up). 2.Increase your reps OR Decrease your rest. If you are cruising through reps with a nice and slow tempo, now its time to increase the reps. You can either add more reps to the end of each set or you can complete more sets of the exercise. It may also be useful to use that stopwatch again, and do as many slow and controlled reps as you can in one minute. Supersets are another great way to increase your work rate during a session. 3.Add weight. This is where you would normally overload in the gym, however this is where you may need to get creative. Backpacks, water jugs, sandbags, furniture. Whatever you can use to add some resistance, will help to make sure your workouts wont stall. 4.Close your eyes. Now this isnt for all exercises, however pick a few that youre comfortable with and simply close your eyes while doing them. This can challenge your stability through movement greatly and make you hone in your focus. Closing your eyes can also give you a better mind-muscle connection which is very important in stimulating muscle growth. #onlinestrengthcoaching #thestrengthshak

03.01.2022 Day 3 of the #5daysmoothiechallenge Today brings you my twist on the classic Strawberry Banana Smoothie, 1 Banana... 1 Cup of Spinach 2 Cups of Frozen Mixed Berries 1 Tsp Coconut Oil 150g Greek Yogurt 300ml Full Cream Milk 1 Scoop Vanilla Whey Protein 1/2 Cup of Oats See more

03.01.2022 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

03.01.2022 Pineapple smoothie #5daysmoothiechallenge 1 Banana... 2 cups Frozen Pineapple 150g Greek Yogurt 1 Tsp Coconut Oil 1 Scoop Vanilla Whey Protein 300ml Full Cream Milk See more

01.01.2022 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
