25.01.2022 Cage ball wrestling

23.01.2022 Sunday restorative cross country skiing workout/weekly reset. Under 150Bpm #Torstein’s Functional Fitness#Less is more#Train optimally @ Settlers Rise

18.01.2022 The Repetition method. More and more motor units are drawn upon as the fatigue sets in. Only the last few reps (not shown) in the set matters. A Mechanical drop set is used to prolong the time under tension. An Incline press has a mechanical disadvantage and is therefore done while you’re fresh. As you fatigue a more mechanical advantage is provided by lowering the bench.

15.01.2022 Wow... Such exciting news. Ky Hamilton has made it to the very top! This is truly well deserved and I congratulate him on this amazing achievement. All his hard work has paid off and as one of his former trainers I am very proud. During the time here at Torstein’s he always had great work ethic and a great attitude. He is also a humble and great young man and I wish him well in the future

14.01.2022 I believe the two most important attributes to fitness and life in general are Consistency and Effort. This recently came up when my son wanted to get supplements for his training. My advice: build a base first with these two ingredients. Supplements will only bring on minor changes and possibly adverse side effects.

13.01.2022 The Belt Squat or the ATP (Athletic Training Platform) allows us to train smarter. During the deadlift, some of the weight goes directly on your hips saving unnecessary shear force on your lower back. An added elastic makes the movement harder on the top where the spine is capable of handling more load without getting hurt. #trainsmarternotharder #trainoptimally #beltsquat #deadlift

11.01.2022 Accomodating resistance. If we do the same thing over and over again we will eventually stop getting better, and progress will eventually stall. That’s the law of accomodation. The body will get used to a certain stimulus and there is no need for the body to adapt and get stronger. One of many things we can do is to add bands on to the bar. This will change the way the squat will feel. The squat will get harder at the top where it normally gets easier. It changes the strength curve of the exercise. It will feel different to the body and the body will adapt to a new stimulus.

10.01.2022 Nice morning cross county skate up Dalrymple road this morning. 5.42km steady incline. It felt heavy... Need to repeat very soon

07.01.2022 There are many types of strength... Relative strength is the amount of strength relative to body weight, or how strong someone is compared to their size. Gymnasts have great relative strength. ... Although I’m far from a gymnast, I like the challenge and it’s a good break from barbells and dumbbells avoiding the law of accomodation. See more

05.01.2022 I love my coffee. But sometimes tea is nice too! Too many cups of coffee could be strenuous on your adrenal glands and if we are exposed to enough stress in daily life... we don’t need too much stimulus. Why don’t you give this a try: ... 2-3 cloves Freshly grated tumeric Parts of cinnamon stick All these ingredients have good properties... Cloves: polyphenols (the healthy stuff in red wine, Chocolate, grapes etc) Tumeric: Anti inflammatory. Cinnamon: Reduces blood sugar. #wellbeing #goodforyou

04.01.2022 July 2018 - Farewelling Ky as he embarked on his bull riding journey in USA. February 2020 - No 1 in the world!

01.01.2022 Part of my workout yesterday. Ring training is great for strength in general but will also develop core strength, flexibility and stability.

01.01.2022 I read once You should do the things you cannot do So I am making it a habit to go out of my comfort zone and improve where I’m lagging strength. In my case, overhead work... If you are only training what you are already good at, your overall improvement will be poor. Patience and consistency is the key.
