25.01.2022 A tennis athlete does NOT need special programming. They need to get fast, strong, agile, explosive, powerful, fast, resilient, aerobically and anaerobically fit, etc. Did I mention fast? . @shumers could hardly walk 2 months ago due to nerve pain down his leg but look at him now! The last 2 years have been a challenge for him. We started working together recently when he was fed up with several injuries that were preventing him playing at the standard which he should be play...ing at (very high for those playing at home). . It’s been a hard several months of training (rehab) and he is back on the tennis court regularly as we build towards tournaments. . I’m super proud of his commitment, hard work and discipline. His first tournament back post injury will be a huge day for him and I can’t wait to see it. See more

25.01.2022 My new nemesis is the burpee. . If you head to any park around Sydney at 6am you will see bootcamp participants performing burpees as part of their so called conditioning. These people’s burpees probably look more like a combination of a slug humping the ground and a chimpanzee trying to jump. . Burpees are an advanced exercise masquerading as an exercise for beginners. Most people lack the necessary strength, mobility and power to do one burpee with good form, let alone burp...ees for high reps. . Have you ever seen an elite athlete performing burpees regularly as part of their S+C program? Yeah I didn’t think so, and if you have they need a new trainer. . The amount of injuries I have seen from burpees and poorly programmed jumping exercises is on the rise due to the HIIT cult! Poorly programmed burpees and jumps for high reps with poor form and fatigue is a recipe for injuries. . Instead of performing burpees I have a better idea: For the strength component break the burpee down into these isolated, fundamental, movement patterns: including a squat, a pushup and if you’re advanced enough and wanting to improve your jumping and power for sport then a jump squat and progressions may be applicable. For the conditioning component use jogging, running, bike, elliptical, rower, sprinting, sleds etc. Pretty much anything other than a fucking burpee. . Burpees suck, so as a society lets get behind my new push to ban them.

24.01.2022 Everyone has insecurities. Everyone wants things they don’t have. I have always wished my calves grew as quickly as my other muscle groups. I train them hard and frequently. . I do however have a very long Achilles’ tendon and not the greatest calf genetics (thanks Dad). I am also happy at my current weight, so I’m consuming at a calorie maintenance. Due to this maintenance I will not gain much muscle. I would require a calorie surplus and plenty of progressive overload to really help my calves grow. This isn’t an excuse, it’s the reality. Yes, they have grown over the years but they will never be Adonis-like calves unless I made drastic changes and I chose better parents. . I have accepted them for what they are and I continue to try and get stronger! #doyourbest

23.01.2022 Operation ‘Stop the bosu squat.’ Learn how to create ground reaction force from the ground up. Many people have poor squatting technique and poor stability with single leg exercises such a split squats, single leg squats, lunges etc. and then they jump on a super unstable bosu... What a stupid idea. . Master the fundamentals from the ground up! The less gadgets one uses in a strength program, the better it typically is! Simplicity works and ain’t nobody got time for a bosu squat. . I urge people of all nations to pop the bosu if you see people doing bosu squats.

22.01.2022 You can only dream about attending Hogwarts.

21.01.2022 Juice cleanses and detoxes are BS and a waste of time. . If you have kidneys and a liver you don’t need to reduce your toxins with a silly juice cleanse or detox. People lose weight on a juice cleanse or detox because they were in a calorie deficit, not because they removed any toxins. . Juice cleanses and detoxes are ridiculous. They don’t teach you anything about nutrition other than how to use your nutri-bullet to make disgusting green juices that make you want to throw up.... . Juice cleanses often have little to no protein intake so if you sustain a juice cleanse you will lose muscle mass faster compared to a calorie deficit with adequate protein. And finally they don’t teach you sustainable nutrition habits. . Educate yourself with legitimate nutrition education and do NOT do a juice cleanse/detox. See more

20.01.2022 Bella Swan really carried on and should have picked Jacob because he lifts >

19.01.2022 Creating a healthy environment for our children is so important. Showing our children that staying active and maintaining a balanced diet is imperative and will allow sustainable habits to form from a young age. We should rely on building habits and not placing as much emphasis on self control when pursuing an exercise or nutrition goal. . Children are sponges. They mimic their parents, other adults and other children. All adults should try to set an example for children of a...ll ages. Regular family and community exercise, dance, walks, playing at a playground, sports, eating nutrient dense food etc. can all play an amazing role in shaping a child’s perspective on exercise, health and nutrition. . Yes, I don’t have children but I grew up in a very active and healthy house (look at those blonde locks ). We were encouraged to be as active as possible and we always had access to delicious and nutritious food. These habits I have carried throughout my life and I place so much emphasis on staying fit and healthy. . Let’s nurture all children and give them the best chance to lead happy, healthy and sustainable lives. I know we all lead very busy lives so all you can do is try your best to lead by example.

15.01.2022 Can’t do bodyweight dips yet? Try using a band as shown and slowly wean to a smaller band and/or use eccentrics (help yourself up with your pins and then lower yourself with only your upper body). . Progress to doing hybrid sets of as many bodyweight dips as you can and then finish the set off with a band or eccentrics (which will keep your volume high). Then you can progress to sets of bodyweight dips. Then progress to sets of weighted dips. As usual there are plenty of ways to skin a . Get dipping.

15.01.2022 Creating an arch in your back during bench press is ideal but don’t get too enthusiastic #powerliftingspecial

13.01.2022 A skipping rope is one of the most underrated pieces of rehab and prehab equipment for a variety of injuries including calf, achilles and foot injuries. . Absorb, land and then apply! . It is so important to train stiff ankle joint mechanics prior to skipping and hopping to learn how to absorb, land and then apply force.... . Understanding of how the ankle joint and achilles tendon work is crucial to enable an efficient skipping and hopping technique. The achilles is designed to absorb, store and then reload to create force. So many rehab programs neglect achilles absorption training. . Dust off your skipping rope! See more

13.01.2022 What a bizarre year! A huge thank you to my clients, online clients, family, friends and everyone behind the scenes that allow Wild Physio Fitness to run smoothly! 2020 has been a huge year and I couldn’t have done it without you. . My2020will come to a close Wednesday, 23rdDecember 2020 and I'll be returning Monday, 11th January 2021 at 8am. . Have a great festive season..P.S. Thank you to all who donated to the Longest Day of Golf 2020. We have raised $5916for the Cancer Council and we couldn't be happier. Bring on 2021.

12.01.2022 Lessons Learnt: Longest Day of Golf - https://mailchi.mp//are-you-unsure-of-what-you-should-do-a

11.01.2022 Most gym goers love a quad, bicep, deltoid, glute burn, pump or DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness. Side note: DOMS is not indicative of muscle growth and it’s not indicative of a good session: don’t chase getting crazy DOMS you savages). However, if some of these gym goers get a mid/low back burn/pump or DOMS they freak out and think they have mid/low back pain and/or pathology. . Many people get a low back pump/burn and DOMS when/after performing deadlifts, RDLs, good mornings, 45 degree back extensions etc. but that is NORMAL. Yes, of course with any lift in the gym you can get injured but there is a difference! Pain is very complex so as usual consult with a health professional if you need clarification.

10.01.2022 This is relevant to any exercise where your feet are on the ground: squats, lunges, split squats, deadlifts, shoulder press etc.

09.01.2022 Stop searching for magic supplements! Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep , have a balanced diet , lift weights 2-5xweek, move oftenand manage your stress and recovery. . Do NOT get sucked in to some insta fit chicks BS supplement that they are selling. Fit teas, body wraps, butter coffee etc. are all crap, period. . Link in bio to learn what supps are actually worthwhile in my ‘Your Body Bible’ eBooks.

09.01.2022 No calf raise machine or smith machine? No worries! Introducing the Rack Grinder Barbell Calf Raise (or whatever you want to call it). . Lean slightly forwards towards the rack so you grind the barbell along the rack for stability! The slight lean also simulates the push off position in running. You’re welcome.

08.01.2022 World health organisation (WHO) physical activity guidelines (if you’re outside of the above age bracket have a look at the WHO website for your guidelines) . Benefits of physical activity for adults: Overall, strong evidence demonstrates that compared to less active adult men and women, individuals who are more active: .... have lower rates of all-cause mortality, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, colon and breast cancer, and depression; are likely to have less risk of a hip or vertebral fracture; exhibit a higher level of cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness; and are more likely to achieve weight maintenance, have a healthier body mass and composition.

08.01.2022 Protein has the highest thermic effect (the amount of calories the body burns while breaking down a certain macronutrient) of the macronutrients. Protein contains 4 calories per gram. Protein is very important for growth and repair. Protein is needed to maintain or increase muscle mass. . How many times have you heard the bros out there say that you need to eat more and more brotein to get jacked up? These bros need a science lesson. . How much protein do you actually n...eed? . Below are the recommendations by @thealanaragon. When it comes to nutrition and protein distribution @thealanaragon is the man! . Daily protein recommendations by @thealanaragon: 1 1.2-1.6g/kg for optimising health, protecting against lean muscle loss in the general population (especially for very overweight or obese people) and the elderly 2 1.6-2.2g/kg for people looking to maximise resistance training adaptations and gainz bruh 3 2.3-3.1g/fat free mass** for optimising muscle retention while dieting (note that this is of fat free mass not kg) 4 0.4-0.55g/kg per meal, consumed over 4 meals per day . I recommend that 1.6-2.2g/kg consumed over 3-4 meals is ideal for most people who are active, lifting weights and want to maximise performance and resistance training adaptations. Yeah bro, go get those gainz but don’t forget that those brotein calories count! See more

07.01.2022 Hamstring strength is so important. The stuff you can’t see in the mirror get stronger!! So many bros just hit leg press, knee extensions and then do a few token hammy curls and think that constitutes a leg session. Come on bro you’re better than that. . Start performing some of the following to build some true hamstring strength: Nordic ham curls Romanian deadlifts... B-stance/split stance Romanian deadlifts Single leg supported Romanian deadlifts Deadlifts Hip thrusts B-stance/split stance hip thrusts Double or single leg hamstring slides Prone hamstring curls (double or single leg eccentrics) Single leg 45 degree back extensions Single leg bridges Single leg elevated bridges See more

07.01.2022 Progressive overload is the key to gaining muscle. . There are plenty of ways to progressively overload as you can see with the above examples: the total volume increased with each method and after 7 weeks of training, the volume was the same once the lifter returned to the initial set and rep range (week 7). This is just an example of some options you have. There are plenty of ways to skin the cat ! . Allowing the volume to slowly increase over a period of time allows for... greater workload, which will lead to growth, if nutrition is optimised. . To learn more download one of my ‘Your Body Bible’ eBooks. Link in bio. See more

06.01.2022 You need to know! This is NOT my opinion, it’s science. . Your energy balance (calories in vs calories out) will dictate how much you weigh: Calorie deficit (negative energy balance) = consuming less calories than you burn Calorie surplus (positive energy balance) = consuming more calories than you burn... Calorie maintenance (neutral energy balance) = consuming the same amount of calories that you burn . Yes, hormones (e.g. insulin, T3, leptin, ghrelin, cortisol etc.) play a part in the weight loss matrix but these hormones follow your energy balance! This means that the levels of these hormones decrease or increase depending on which hormone and depending on the energy balance. . Calories and hormones are intertwined, but at the end of the day weight loss still comes down to your energy balance (calories in vs out)!!! See more

04.01.2022 Have you ever been to a Physio that only tells you what you can’t do? Have you ever been to a Physio that only tells you what is wrong with your body? . Find a Physio that tells you what you can do. Most times you’ve probably just overloaded the affected tissue and the injury requires: Time Pain education... Tolerating strategies Load modification Weight loss (if overweight or obese) Regular exercise to get moving more often Strength training to build up tissue tolerance . Pls remember that rehabilitation is just training that is MODIFIED! See more

02.01.2022 It's on again. We completed the challenge last year and we want to lock it in annually. Three of my mates and I will be playing 4 rounds of 18 holes (72 holes ...total) at Bankstown golf course on Friday, December 18 from dawn to dusk (literally from 5.30/6am-8/8.30pm)! Every dollar we raise will help fund life-changing cancer research, provide vital support for people affected by cancer, and develop prevention programs that will help us move towards a cancer free future. Everyone has been touched by cancer at some point in their lives and we want to help make a difference. We are going to battle through four rounds which will be close to 35-45km of walking (depending on how straight we hit it) which pales in comparison to the battle many people diagnosed with cancer go through. It's the least we could do!! As we struggle through this day it would be amazing knowing our friends and family have helped us make a difference to this special cause. Please help us make every hole worthwhile by sponsoring us at the link below. All donations over $2 are tax-deductible and greatly appreciated! Here are the numbers from the Longest Day of Golf 2019: - $5619 raised for the Cancer Council (and rising) - 72 holes of golf completed @ Bankstown GC (Par 71) - 51,800 steps completed - 39km of walking - 4 cooked units Wild Physio Fitness
