Huge well done to as he climbs the ranks taking the belt at (straightner) last Saturday.

We have been working on optimising joshs biomechanics with deeper levels of understanding to neurally increase his capacity for power and anaerobic output.

Also did some diaphragm release, lung capacity drills and some neural prep backstage to prime him before walking out which worked a treat.

Will be fine tuning Josh further as I am always analysing my athletes/clients to build longer term strategies outside of fight camp.

Combining this with the unbelievable work the pad men/skill coaches have put in, there was only gonna be one result.

Incredible performance bro.

Climbing the ranks quickly this lad 😎👊🏼

Boxer .1998 bringing me on board once again to help him make weight for his next big test on this Saturday.

Leanest, meanest and most prepared ive seen Josh so far. Very excited to see this war take place 🩸👊🏼

We took a longer prep with a steady and consistent approach utilising different methods (fasting,carb cycling and intermittent calorie deficits) in phases to ensure josh was well fuelled to endure harsher conditioning sessions to avoid having to water load.

Some refuelling + rehydration tricks and some optimisation protocols to run in the last 24hrs to put the icing on the cake 😎👌🏼

Amazing job bro 👊🏼

Get behind Josh on Saturday and prepare to be entertained as 2 lads leave it all in the ring come Saturday 🥊 🔥

Absolutely amazing weekend with diving into functional neurology in relation to biomechanics, rehab, posture and a few more weird and wonderful areas 😎
Huge respect to Martin for his knowledge but for his open approach to teaching.
Big thanks to for holding this event and helping coaches collaborate 🙏🏼🙏🏼

✅ Straight arm strength
✅ Core compression
✅ Joint capsule stability
✅ Shoulder blade strength + control IN MOTION

This is a great exercise to build full body communication and coordination.

The focus should be on increasing the tension levels through each cue mentioned like turning a volume dial.

You should move as a CONSEQUENCE to engaging the torque and tension.

It should feel like an ACTIVATE in to a drag. So don’t throw yourself up! Create tension so hard you drag the body up as you stay aware of your position.

Was discussing with the benefit how some of the straight arm strength stuff benefits fighters like himself due to the relevance of receiving impact in shoulder protraction.

Also worth noting the positives of working the bicep isometrically at the end range for those horrible boxing “arm jar” moments 😬

Fighters know what im talking about 🙈
