If you are currently, or have ever suffered with back pain, I simply cannot recommend enough.

It’s been a lifesaver for me when my disc issues have become uncomfortable, and the poses and movements have so much carryover into the gym, CrossFit box or life in general.

We have no affiliation to them, I just love what they do and it’s become a key part of my daily routine, and I double up or do a longer one on rest days to try and keep injury at bay and enjoy my fitness.

On Wednesdays we tend to program the Olympic lifts or their dumbbell counterparts.

While they are a little more technical in application than a standard resistance exercise, we focus on using them to develop explosive power and strength.

Then, as it’s a rest day tomorrow, we’ll finish with a high intensity workout.

This, as a general rule, does NOT include high repetitions of the technical aspects of Olympic weightlifting while under fatigue.

Can this be effective… yes ➡️
But does the reward outweigh the risk? Maybe not ➡️
So, could the same stimulus be created with lower skill but high power output movement? Yes! ➡️
Thrusters and bike calories it is then! 🤢

New week for athletes!

We advise all our members to have a recovery day on a Sunday where they get outside of the gym and use the fitness that they’ve worked hard for.
If you’re always exhausted, burnt out and sore, then how are you benefiting from your program?

Are you a slave to the program or is your program serving you?

We offer a 7 day, no obligation, free trial in bio. You have nothing to lose but a whole lot to gain!

🚨NERD ALERT 🚨
For all you science and human performance geeks like us, podcast is simply the best!
As an MMA fan I loved this episode and there were so many practical takeaways for the recreational athlete.

Dr Duncan French reinforced one of our key principles, which is 2 times a week is enough for truly high intensity sessions. The rest of the sessions should be high quality, volume centric training.

Always good to hear 2 of the worlds leading scientists in their field deep diving into and referencing peer-reviewed studies that align with our prescription.

This weekend saw the conclusion of our 3 olympic weightlifting seminars held over the last 6 weeks at
We started in session 1 with a reset and went right back to the fundamentals of the movements with light to moderate weights.
Session 2 we drilled into the more technical aspects of the lifts, plus some barbell cycling to ensure the athletes carry the high standards of oly lifting into their CrossFit sessions!
Then in session 3 we progressively built to heavy singles of both the sn**ch and clean and jerk.
There were more than a few PRs, but more importantly there were technical improvements made by EVERYONE. This is what we love seeing as coaches!
A huge thank you to all the athletes, you all smashed it 🔥

Thrive coach teaching the push jerk as part of our Olympic weightlifting seminars at

This was from the second of three seminars, and this week we covered all shoulder to overhead elements, with a focus on the split jerk.

We also covered the fundamentals of barbell cycling, a skill that is so important in CrossFit to ensure you can safely lift, lower and cycle a barbell.

Why You Should Carry Heavy, and Not Just Lift Heavy.
In our opinion and many others there’s nothing more functional than carrying heavy stuff. Yes, lifting heavy is functional, and being able to deadlift or press heavy will come into use in everyday life. But we’ve found ourselves having to carry moderately heavy stuff for distance much more often than we’ve had to lift a really heavy thing just once. You’ve got to be able to carry your kids when they’re tired/sick/asleep, carry your shopping bags inside, hoist compost bags for the garden or carry you paddle board to the waves. If you want to be good at these functional, everyday movements, you need to practice them by carrying heavy stuff in your workouts.

Loaded carries build the strength of multiple parts of your body. Carries strengthen your core, develop your hip stability, and create a yoked upper back. They’re also incredible for building your grip strength, an often overlooked capacity that aids your ability to perform all kinds of strength movements.
Sand bags are readily available, cheap and can be used for more than just carries, if your tight for space and the idea of a fully kitted home gym breaks the bank, then grab a sandbag!!

IS AEROBIC EXERCISE STILL NECESSARY?

In times when HIIT, metcons and brutal conditioning workouts are plastered all over Instagram, why should we embrace sustainable, repeatable and low intensity aerobic work?

More commonly known as “cardio,” aerobic exercise is physical exercise that uses oxygen to meet energy demands created during activity. Aerobic exercise is very important for heart health and decreasing risk of diseases like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. It is also an important part of any training regimen to increase endurance, strength and performance in sports.

It’s also great to stick a podcast on and enjoy some chilled out time where you focus on breathing, getting a bit of a sweat on and clear your head.
