21.01.2022 EXERCISE OF THE WEEK!! This weeks exercise is a landmine single arm pulldown. This exercise is a great single arm variation of the Lat pull down in a standing position rather than a seated position. As this exercise is in a standing position it allows us to produce force and power in an athletic stance. ... Give the exercise a go and let us know what you think.

21.01.2022 Progress Great effort today from Kady new PB 5 reps @100 Not a perfect Trap Bar lift, but still very safe. Some things to work on, yes, but at times we need to look at different aspects of goals and whether we are getting there. Also, is it safe. ... When it checks these off, was it a successful lift? In my opinion yes. We still see progression in weight lifted. This still heads us towards goals and the overall progression towards what is wanted for that lift. Technique still needs fine tuning and this is always going to be something that is constantly needed, even for the most experienced lifters. Great job @kady.ibell been awesome watching your progression over the past couple of months. Results in the weight room is transferring to the pool and youve been enjoying your training of late. This is always going to be important!

21.01.2022 We are doing our part to make sure that our knowledge is as high as possible to keep every single person that comes in safe.

18.01.2022 VISION VIKINGS! Class Highlight - Viking Cardio! Conditioning often known as Cardio is typically a misunderstood concept, with most people simply walking on t...he treadmill or spinning on the bike. However, a good conditioning program will help you to lose fat and get into better shape, while maintaining the muscle you have been working hard to put on. This 30-minute session will include everything from running and rowing, to odd object conditioning such as carries and throws. Every session will be different and will target a different energy system to give you an overall balanced cardiovascular and muscular fitness. Head over to their page for more information!

17.01.2022 Power Force x Velocity = Power How are you producing it? A large majority of sport will have some component of power involved. ... Tackling, sprint, dunking, throwing. What does your program look like? Is it helping you to increase your power output? Being powerful is a huge benefit in sport. Can you produce a large force quickly? In this video @fletch_mcdonald is completing BB Back Squat from pins. We figure out his 1/4 (usually a little deeper than a 1/4, want to know why message is) and he is completing it in a cluster set. 3 extremely power/max effort squat, then a rest period before he performs it again. We do it in a cluster to allow the athlete to complete the exercise with max effort every single rep. If he was to complete all the reps in 1 bout fatigue would start to set in. There is minimal eccentric load which doesnt add anymore load to the athlete and increase fatigue to the athlete or increase the chance of DOMS. Large amount of force produced very quickly! Want to become the envy of everyone on the league and become more powerful? Start to learn the secrets with us! DM is and get started today!

16.01.2022 Growth Ill be the first to admit that not everything in the The Lab is always perfect. As coaches we are always trying to help athletes develop. Make them stronger, faster and more resilient. In a session, I could tell an athlete to fix something, even if they have done it right 1000x beforehand it doesnt mean 1001 is going to be the same. Sometimes things may not seem like what they look like until you break it down. ... @d_werth is completing a much used exercise, a trap bar deadlift. When I was watching I thought his technique looked good. Then I filmed his technique to see how it actually looked. After his review I found 3 things that need improving. 1. We want more vertical shin. You will here me cue him that and his last 2 reps are much better. The vertical shin is what makes it a deadlift. Purpose of the deadlift is to be a hip dominant exercise. Load up the posterior chain. More shin angle will turn this exercise into a knee dominant exercise, like a squat. 2. His setting for the start of the deadlift. David goes into hyper-extension. We are looking to create a strong rigid position and a neutral spine. Is this currently a big problem? Is it causing pain? Answer is no. But this doesnt mean it doesnt need to be fixed. 3. Hip extension. In the video it doesnt seem to show David getting to full hip extension in every rep. Whys this important? The glutes are responsible for hip extension and they are our powerhouse. We want to drill this position as it is transferable to sport in things like running, jumping, pushing off walls etc. this is by far the easiest to fix and a quick chat to David about his tempo will fix this. Hows your deadlift look? Are you looking to increase you athletic performance? We can help you now! DM us and we will book you in for our comprehensive performance testing session and get you started.

14.01.2022 EXERCISE OF THE WEEK!! This week's exercise is to help improve not only ankle, hip and knee stability, but also change of direction and reaction. As an athlete ...moves through their rehab to return to performance, they need to prepare every physical aspect of their sport. Reaction and decision making is such an important part of field based sport that should be trained before returning to play. To perform this exercise, stand on a box or step with different coloured markers on the ground in front. From here take a step off the box and have a friend call a colour that matches one of the markers on the ground. As soon as you touch the ground, change direction and stick the landing at the cone of the colour that was called. Comment below with any questions or let us know how you went!

13.01.2022 Great infographic from the Queensland Academy of Sport. Be smart. Keep safe.

08.01.2022 Youth Strength and Conditioning (part 1.) Weekly I get asked is resistance training bad/dangerous/harmful for youths? The answer youre expecting me to say isnt what Im going to to say. Yes it can be dangerous (but not to just youths), it can be be dangerous to anyone if you are careless, ignorant and arrogant.... Harmful though... if completed unsupervised and incorrectly it can be. Just like if anyone else decides they wanted to. But if done correctly, strength and conditioning can be highly beneficial for youths in regards to motor control learning, puberty, strength and power production as well as lower the chance of injury Does it stunt your growth? This was a popular myth 15 years ago that has been debunked as being untrue. It will in fact actually make the bones stronger If you have any questions about strength training for children and adolescents DM us and we will answer any questions you have on the topic. Thank you @physionetwork

08.01.2022 Youth Strength and Conditioning (part 2) This is consensus statement from the @nscsofficial , even though this is not an Australia organisation they are the leaders in strength and conditioning worldwide. This info graphic doesnt need to be altered or changed to suit each individual country. Specifics out of this include:... 1.Provide qualified instruction and supervision. -Think about this, Australia have a lot of courses that can be completed in a weekend and give you qualification. Make sure you know who you are sending your kids to as you only get one body! 2. Start light and make sure technique is always correct. - We having a saying (which some athletes struggle with) Technique over Load. This means if technique wavers or technique is not correct dont worry about the load or lower the load. 3. Begin strength training with 2-3 sessions on non consecutive days. 4. Use individualised programming and log their improvements. 5. Optimize performance with nutrition, hydration and sleep. 6. Support and encouragement from coaches and parents will help maintain interest. As a parent youre investment into someone caring for you child physically should be looked at just look you would with a doctor, dentist, school they attend etc. as mentioned above you only get one body to work with. You want to get the best out of it and dont want to be mislead by someone and have the chance of being injured occurring. See more

04.01.2022 @normatec_anz NormaTec Recivery systems are the latest technology for recovery. The primary function of these compression sleeves is to engage a lymphatic flush. This enhances a healthy blood flow back into the region by helping to remove waste products, inflammation and swelling. ... The technology uses pulsated, sequential pneumatic compression delivered through specific garments for different areas. These garments are similar to a giant blood pressure cuff, which feature chambers that are attached to a control unit and pump. The garments deliver sequential and pulsating compression to a particular area, systematically enhancing blood flow and lymphatic fluid removal. Benefits include: Reduces inflammation and water accumulation Improved and enhanced circulation Reduced pain Accelerated recovery Removed toxins through lymphatic system Increased range of motion See more

02.01.2022 Movement Mechanics/Feel The Movement - I love this video and I love seeing this kind of thing in the weight room. The world isnt perfect but at times as you scroll through social media its all we see. We have to remember this and I think at times coaches are too worried to show poor technique. It happens. In every session. In every gym. With all coaches. No coach will ever have a perfect session with no mistakes. What matters is how these are corrected. - The reason I lov...e this video is we are working hard on getting the push up technique better. The second rep isnt perfect, there a actually a few things we could fix. But without a cue, she feels this. Resets. And completes the third rep with a much better technique. - At times a cue is needed but if the athlete can start to feel the movement and know from your cues how to fix it we are on the road to improvement. Go into any school as a group to do push ups and notice who has poor technique. Then ask them if they fee like they were doing it right or not. Most of the time they wont even realise. - @bellacasa2617 is a swimmer and the importance of learning how the body is sitting is so important. As well as the added benefit of being stronger through the posterior chain and less impingement on the shoulder. - Help an athlete to learn. Teach them. And you will create an athlete that will develop into a lifelong leaner. See more
