Strength and Conditioning services offered to individual athletes, schools and teams in the Darling

We thought last week’s run was tough.

We did 8x250m of the Mackenzie Street hill this morning and the extra distance definitely hurt us.

We had a few new athletes join us this week and some more joining next week. Keep an eye on where we are next week.

No caption really needed here.

This was really hard and if you weren’t here you missed out.

What I’ve tried to create from the start is to have athletes come together to get better regardless of your team, school, age etc. and that’s what we’re doing.

Tough run followed by a breakfast Acai Bros Toowoomba

We go again next weekend.

Developing punching power requires more than simply getting stronger or lifting weights with maximal intent.

We incorporate ballistic movements such as landmine and medicine ball throws, manipulating external loads to develop different force and velocity characteristics. Heavier throws place greater emphasis on strength–speed, while lighter loads allow higher movement velocities, shifting the emphasis towards speed–strength.

By throwing into free space, athletes can continue accelerating through to release, rather than having to decelerate the load as they would during a conventional lift which assists in enhancing punching power.

We combine this with paused pressing, unilateral lower-body strength, reactive plyometrics and rotational trunk work to develop the physical qualities that underpin explosive punching.

The objective isn’t simply to produce more force, but to develop the capacity to express it as quickly as possible.

It was great to have Shaun Packer back in at EPU while he’s home for the off-season from the Canberra Raiders.

This is exactly what I want EPU to become — the place our athletes come back to when they’re home, no matter where their sport takes them.

A home for athletes on the Darling Downs.

We’ve had a great few weeks with our athletes succeeding in their various sports. We’ve got Bree touring the UK and France playing rugby against international opposition, Jagger representing Queensland in the State of Origin Fight Night and winning silver at the Golden Gloves, as well as Ella qualifying for multiple national championships in athletics.

Off-season training is underway for our rugby league and rugby union athletes.
For our more senior athletes, this period gives us an opportunity to place a greater emphasis on individual physical development.
We currently have a number of different programs running across the group. For athletes who need to add size, there is a greater focus on hypertrophy and building lean mass. For others, where adding mass isn’t the priority, the focus shifts more towards developing maximal strength and improving force-producing qualities.
The off-season isn’t about putting every athlete through the same program. It’s about identifying what each athlete needs to improve and using this period to target it.

Hey everyone, I’m Ruben!
I’m excited to be joining the EPU team and getting the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the business.
I’ve spent the past three years around the gym and fitness industry, while also playing three straight seasons of First XV rugby since Grade 10, with 27 games under my belt. My sporting background has given me a strong appreciation for the physical preparation, consistency and work ethic required to perform at a high level.
I’m really looking forward to continuing to develop my knowledge, working alongside the EPU team and, most importantly, watching athletes grow not only in their game but also as people.

Introducing Elite Performance Unit

Athletes have been asking for it, so we are creating it.

A Strength & Conditioning and Athletic Performance Facility for serious athletes on the Darling Downs.

This is going to be more than a gym; we are creating a home for athletes who want more.

Opening 13th July 2026.

Huge thanks to Michael Krog for bringing his Elite Performance Unit to Warrior HQ last night 🔥

A real look behind the curtain at what it takes to compete at the top level.

We hope our Under 16 & 17 club leaders soaked it up, because that’s the standard 💪

Athlete:

Today’s lower body session focused on developing force production, movement efficiency and tissue resilience in a way that transfers to the field.

Our main lift was paired with jumps and plyometrics to target the force–velocity spectrum. Strength work builds the capacity to produce force, while the jump and plyo work teaches the athlete to express that force quickly - which is ultimately what acceleration and change of direction demand in rugby league.

Unilateral movements were then layered in to target pelvic control, frontal plane stability and single-leg force production.

The accessory work targeted the posterior chain and lower-leg complex. Hamstring strength and calf capacity are critical for sprinting, deceleration and long-term injury resilience, particularly as athletes move into higher training loads through their teenage years.

At this age the goal isn’t to chase fatigue or numbers to make the athlete or the session look impressive. The goal is to build a physical foundation that allows the athlete to run faster, change direction better and tolerate the demands of their sport as they progress through the years.
