Time to put a face to the name! 🦈
I’m Wyatt Taylor - the face behind MAKO Training!

MAKO is built on a no-BS approach to training - focused on hard work, consistency, and trusting the process. Everything I program is evidence-based, so you’re not chasing trends, you’re building real, lasting results! I also understand there’s more to life than working out! Training is a privilege and should be used to help enhance and support your life, not become a source of stress! 💪🏼🧠

A bit about my fitness background -
I am a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and have my CrossFit Level 2 (CF-L2). I also am an elite athlete in Functional Fitness competing on an international stage. 🏋️

If you’re ready to train with purpose, you’re in the right place!

Stay tuned - excited to share more about what MAKO offers and the training options available! 👀

The ending was a joke I promise. 🦈

My mother has always had trouble with her squat, mainly from years of trainers (not you Dylan lol) telling her to never squat below parallel or else you will blow out your knee, which ironically has led her to have some knee pain. So over this last lockdown it was my mission to fix this.

After performing some assessments I noticed she was severely lacking some ankle range of motion, especially her dorsiflexion. This led me to develop a 5 day program that she repeated for a month and overloaded through new found ranges. By the end she can now squat to a full range and her knee pain is significantly better! The program was as follows:

Day 1,3,5
1. Banded ankle joint mobilizations
2. Dynamic ankle stretch
3. Goblet squat holds

Day 2 & 4
1. Ankle cars
2. Full range split squat
3. Standing calf raises
4. Tibialis raises

Special shout-out to for offering his expertise by co-developing the program with me and always helping me improve my knowledge.

The Pursuit of Better Podcast 🦈

Joel and I decided to put our minds together and create an entertaining and hopefully informative podcast! We are covering all things health and fitness while keeping things light hearted and fun. Our goal is to provide some good solid information while ensuring those of all levels can understand or take something away. We currently have 3 full episodes up now, covering how to start your fitness journey, motivation and how to program at home workouts.

Check it out on all major podcasts platforms (YouTube will be soon).

More Eboy content! This time tackling some scams that I see all the time. 🦈

1. Waist trainers: sweating does not equal fat loss. Any weight loss that occurs from sweating will come right back once hydrated. You are far better off to ditch it and not be restricted during your workout.

2. Bosu Balls: these have a purpose in rehab and in some balance work, however they are often used because it makes exercises “harder”. When in reality your probably giving up the desired stimulus to focus on not falling.

3. Detoxes: these have zero hard evidence and your liver can handle its job just fine. Starving yourself by drinking cucumber water isn’t gonna solve anything.

Bro splits are probably the most common training split to build muscle, but they are pretty inefficient in the grand scheme of things. They suffer from both too high and too low of volume, here is how:

1. Too much volume: in a single session a bro split may have you do 20+ sets of one muscle group however throughout this session each set you do will slowly become less and less effective from a fatigue to stimulus ratio. Chances are if you are doing 20+ sets of a muscle group in a session you are probably just wasting time and adding junk volume to your program. It would be best to split your set volume out over two different days as opposed to cramming it all into one.

2. Too little volume: when doing a bro split you have one muscle group per day which means the other six days you are not training it. We know the mechanism responsible for muscle building (muscle protein synthesis) only lasts for about 48-72 hours after a training session, meaning that if you hit chest on Monday you are more than capable of hitting it again Wednesday or Thursday. Following the bro split your muscles will just be hanging out for most of the week instead of building and repairing themselves.

My recommendation would be to follow a push/pull/leg split or any training split that allows for each muscle group to be targeted at least twice per week. By doing this you can spread out volume and get more bang for your buck each set as well as ensure you are building and repairing your muscles more frequently throughout the week. Better to train a muscle 104 times per year than 52.

First part is on TikTok! Here are the points in the video🦈

1. ROM: full range with less weight is always better than less range with more weight.

2. Nutrition: consistency over perfection

3. Bro splits: not as good as they may seem

CrossFit gets a bad rap for injuries all the time, but does it actually live up to the reputation? To spoil the video, no injury rates are not absurdly high in comparison to other fitness methodologies. So then why the bad reputation? I have a couple reasons as to what they may be and will be posting more about it! But for now what do you think?

Also I’m an E-boy now, follow on tik tok. 🦈
