Our members are amazing.

Week after week, they continue to impress us with what they’re capable of.

This week was no exception!

We had members putting themselves to the test in competitions, and Raquel hitting her first Ring Muscle-Up! 💪

Different goals. Different challenges. But the same willingness to put in the work and see what’s possible.

These moments don't happen by accident. They're built through consistent effort, showing up, and continuing to push beyond what you could do yesterday.

We're proud of the achievements, but even prouder of the work that goes into them.

Keep showing up. Keep growing.

That's what Athlete Theory is all about. 🖤💛

PART 3 — BREAKING DOWN THE MOVEMENT

Here we're working through the ½ Pull-Up and Pull-Through.

Breaking the movement into smaller pieces allows athletes to focus on specific positions, timing and control before putting everything together.

It's not just about completing the movement. It's about understanding what we're trying to achieve and developing the mechanics to do it consistently.

Build the movement first. Then build the capacity.

Giving every member the opportunity to develop skills, regardless of their starting point.

Keep watching to see how we take these foundations and progress them for different ability levels — and why the right progression makes all the difference.

PART 2 — SETTING THE FOUNDATION

The first movement is something every athlete in the class will work through, regardless of their level.

The focus here is creating and maintaining tension.

Understanding how to engage the right muscles, establish strong positions and maintain control before progressing to more complex movements.

The briefing is short and specific. A clear demonstration, a few key coaching points.

Same movement. Same intention. Quality first.

SAME SESSION. DIFFERENT PROGRESSIONS. SAME INTENTION.

Every session starts with a brief.

What we're working on, why we're doing it, how the session will run, and what we're looking to achieve.

From there, everyone works through a progression suited to their current ability.

The movements might look different from one athlete to the next, but the intention stays the same.

The goal isn't for everyone to do the same thing. It's for everyone to make progress.

Over the next few videos, I'll show you how that looks in practice at Athlete Theory.

STRONGER TOGETHER

06/10/2026

Time to see what we've built.

20 minutes to find a 1RM Clean & Jerk.

Twelve weeks of developing strength, speed, timing and confidence with increasingly heavy loads come together today.

Then we put that power to work.

Wall Balls build repeated leg power and squat endurance.

The 200m runs keep the intensity high and train your ability to recover while moving.

Hang Power Cleans demand explosive hip drive and efficient barbell cycling under fatigue.

Three rounds.

Find your rhythm, keep the bar moving, and finish strong.

You might walk into Athlete Theory wanting to get fitter, lose a few kilos or try something different.

Then you see someone doing a pull-up.
“I want to do that.”

A handstand. A muscle-up. An Olympic lift.
“That looks cool. Reckon I could learn?”

And suddenly, your goals start to change.

You’re working towards your first pull-up. Getting under a barbell with confidence. Stringing double unders together. Doing something you once thought was out of reach.

Those goals give your training a purpose beyond the scales.

You learn to back yourself, practise things you’re bad at and keep showing up when progress takes time. You start noticing what your body can do, alongside how it looks.

As coaches, we love seeing that shift. The first rep. The surprised look. The “did you see that?” across the gym.

Getting stronger and learning skills takes work. But there’s a lot of joy in finally doing something you couldn’t do before.

So chase the pull-up. Learn the handstand. Have a crack at the lift.

“Because it looks cool” is a perfectly good place to start. Who knows where it might take you?

Week 12. Day 5.

Time to see what we've built.

20 minutes to find a 1RM Back Squat.

Twelve weeks of building strength, confidence and quality under increasingly heavy loads come together today.

Then we finish with three rounds of simple, balanced conditioning.

The 400m runs build sustained running capacity.

Box Jumps demand explosive leg power.

Renegade Rows develop upper-body strength, trunk stability and control.

Heavy strength first.

Then move well, stay consistent, and finish the week strong.
