How good is being a coach?!

It's truly an awesome feeling to have others trust in both you and in the process! Yesterday I had these two guys compete and I was super proud of them both!

Powerlifting celebrates ones pursuit to grow stronger but what is not always apparent to the eye from the outside is the strength it builds in character!

The courage to be up on a platform in front of a hundred people staring at you giving it your best shot can be stressful yet the support drives you and pushes you even more!

The coach client relationship has many layers and often as coach you take on various roles as a teacher, as a friend and at various stages even that of a psychologist!

As such seeing your clients perform and leave their best up on the platform is a shared experience which can be difficult to explain to those outside this sphere.

Anyone (never lifted before, need a new goal) and keen on powerlifting hit me up! I do love it!

PROUD COACH!

Super impressed and happy with how both my clients Sarah and Lorenzo went yesterday!

Lorenzo made his debut on the platform with 8/9 lifts and a total just shy of 500kg! Amidst some nerves we had some fun and gave it our best!

Sarah returned to the platform post pandemic taking out first place as well as the biggest female total for the day adding a massive 48KG to her previous total! A massive 77kg bench, extraordinary in the female lifting world and a huge PB of 280kg on her deadlift! I can smell 200!!!

This is why I continue to do what I love and no matter whether it meant online coaching, or training in the park or on an apartment balcony throughout Covid it was all worth it!

Thanks to for hosting yet another great comp with an amazing atmosphere!

As always thanks for the continued support by team , V, Ben and all family and friends that came to show support both these guys! I have no doubt PL enthusiast and usual PL supporter was looking down and supporting from up above!

For full breakdowns of how these guys went with lift videos check out individual posts posted earlier!

Do any of these key signs ring true to you?

There’s no doubt exercise is good for our mind, body, and spirit.

However, exercise can be detrimental to all areas of health if we take it to the extreme.

Compulsive exercise is a pattern of exercise that should best be avoided. It’s a core feature of disordered eating, it hurts your social life, and it substantially worsens your mental health.

One question that often gets asked is “how can I tell if I’m a compulsive exerciser?”

To help answer this, I want to show you the key signs and symptoms of compulsive exercise. But it’s important to note that these key signs usually operate together for it to be a significant issue:
✔ Exercise that inhibits you from engaging in normal social, academic, or occupational tasks.
✔ Continued exercise at inappropriate times, like waking up in the middle of the night.
✔ Exercising purely to burn off calories consumed.
✔ Extreme agitation or frustration at a missed exercise session.
✔ Exercising despite serious injury or medical complications.
✔ Extreme rigidity with sticking to an exercise plan.
✔ Preoccupation with thoughts about needing to exercise.
✔ Unusual frustration levels if you haven’t exercised as rigorously as you liked.

Stress. A word known by many but understood by few. Today we talk about its relationship with learning and memory.

Firstly, a bit of a run down on stress - we normally see it as purely a psychological phenomena, occurring when we have deadlines at work, fights with our family, exams coming up, etc. But stress is a little more broad than that and can actually be seen as any circumstance that challenges an organism's resources or adaptive capabilities.

Our body's way of dealing with these challenges is by instigating some sort of response. We appraise the stressor and determine how big the response needs to be in order to deal with it (we can sometimes overdo this a little).

These responses also influence how we learn and what we remember - surprisingly, stress can actually be quite beneficial to the learning process and we can certainly take advantage of this.

An important note: the relationship between stress and learning seems to follow an inverted U shape i.e. a little is good, but too much negatively affects it. So pls don't take 4 scoops of pre-workout before a study sesh.

Client of the Month – AUGUST 2021

Adele has now been training under my guidance for just over 3 years and it has been a blast! 

Covid or not, outdoor training became a thing! Amidst training Adele got married and is now 5 months pregnant with twins! All of this alongside Adele's' busy work schedule has not deterred her from keeping on track! 

5 months into her pregnancy with some modifications in her training and now training for three, Adele is doing her bit to stay fit! Alongside her sessions Adele also attends pilates! 

Keep up the great work Adele! Looking forward to meeting the twins!

There are many different types of eating disorder behaviours like:
✔ Binge eating
✔ Self-induced vomiting
✔ Using laxatives
✔ Extreme dietary restriction
✔ Compulsive exercise

One useful thing to remember is that there is a common list of factors that can make these eating disorder behaviors worse.

This means that if we can effectively work on or reduce these factors, then it’s likely that you can stop many of these eating disorder behaviours.

The first and most important thing you need to do on your quest to stop these eating disorder behaviours is to identify those things that are making them worse.

With this post, I want to list what I think are some of the more common factors making your disordered eating behaviours worse:
1️⃣ Constant desire to be perfect and over-achieve in everything you do.
2️⃣ Believing that if you achieve your ideal body, then life will be near perfect.
3️⃣ Desire to limit the amount and type of food on a given day.
4️⃣ Feeling like you’re not a worthy person.
5️⃣ Believing that your self-esteem depends on how much you weigh.
6️⃣ An inability to deal properly with feelings of sadness, anxiety, or frustration.
7️⃣ A toxic relationship that involves regular conflict.
8️⃣ Reliance on social media for personal gratification.
9️⃣ Spending an abnormal amount of time in front of the mirror or on the scale.
🔟 Making unfair comparisons with other people.

Comment with what you think, from your perspective, are the three most stubborn things that make your eating behaviours worse?

Firstly, what is a diet or 'dieting'? A diet is simply the food and drink one consumes and in a sense that means we are all always dieting. What most people usually refer to when they say they are 'dieting' is the purposeful restriction or consumption of food/drink to either add weight or most commonly to lose weight. 
Working in the industry for over 10 years and working with clients as well as discussing with colleagues my overall attitude to whether there is a right time to 'diet' has changed. Please have in mind my response is purely looking at the general population and not those deep into bodybuilding competitions or having to cut/gain weight for athletic purposes. 
When it comes to the general population most of us are quick to find a reason (most often referred to as 'an excuse') as to why NOW is not a great time to start. Questions like, 'If not now, then when?' pop into mind! Initially I took this very hard, no BS approach and would argue that clients or even myself were just making an excuse to wait for Monday or wait for exams to be done with or wait for X,Y and Z before commencing a planned diet. Over the years my overall rationale has shifted! 
My opinions have swayed by many conversations, through experience with clients and myself and via observation of others within the industry. I now believe that there can in fact be a better time to diet, just as there is a better time to have children, to enter a competition or a better time to make a career change. 
There are a multitude of factors that are individual to each and every one of us as to when it is best for us to take certain actions. This in itself may seem to be just an excuse but as already mentioned my views have shifted through many years of experience and observation.

How do Ultra-Processed Diets influence calorie intake and body composition?

Swipe across to see the results of a really cool randomised control trial from 2019 published by the acclaimed researcher Kevin Hall.

Increased availability and consumption of ultra-processed foods have been associated with rising obesity prevalence, but scientists have not yet demonstrated that ultra-processed food causes obesity or adverse health outcomes.

Researchers at the NIH investigated whether people ate more calories when exposed to a diet composed of ultra-processed foods compared with a diet composed of unprocessed foods.

Despite the ultra-processed and unprocessed diets being matched for daily calories, sugar, fat, fiber, and macronutrients, people consumed more calories when exposed to the ultra-processed diet as compared to the unprocessed diet.

Furthermore, people gained weight on the ultra-processed diet and lost weight on the unprocessed diet.

Limiting consumption of ultra-processed food may be an effective strategy for obesity prevention and treatment.

Client of the Month – JULY 2021

--
has now been training under my guidance for just over 3.5 years and what a crazy ride it has been! Unfortunately, just as we delved deeper into our strength block COVID hit but nonetheless Sarah kept up her training and even dialled it up a notch!

Sarah made great use of her verandah and ensured she got her hands on as much equipment as possible before it was all sold out! This ensured we were able to keep training and not lose all them gains!

Sarah is an AP and so tackling all the changes with home schooling on and off has meant the last year has been extremely busy! Albeit chaotic Sarah was able to find some escape via her training!

Looking forward to seeing what the future holds and to step back on the platform! Now it's time to dial in on our nutrition, hone in our technique as we prepare for the come back!

Sarah is an absolute pleasure to train and am absolutely proud of all her efforts both in and out of the gym!
