Client Progress Spotlight 💪

Three months ago, when Ollie first started personal training, we introduced the trap bar deadlift as one of his main compound lifts. At the time, we worked up to 40kg before moving on and focusing on other exercises to build strength, confidence, and movement quality.

Fast forward to today, and we decided to revisit the trap bar deadlift…

The result? 80kg moving with ease. 🔥

That’s double the weight from where we left off, showing that progress isn’t always about doing the same exercise week after week. Building strength in other areas, staying consistent, and trusting the process all contribute to long-term results.

A great reminder that the work you put in behind the scenes always shows up eventually. 👏

Consistency + smart programming = progress.

Training in hot weather hits differently ☀️

Whether you’re in the gym or out running, heat increases fatigue much faster than normal. Your body is working overtime to stay cool, meaning workouts can feel harder even when the effort looks the same.

That’s why training smart matters 👇

🏃‍♂️ Running/Jogging Example:
Normally:
• 5K steady run at your usual pace

In hot weather:
• Slow the pace slightly
• Add short walking intervals if needed
• Focus on effort levels instead of chasing time
• Example: Jog 4 minutes / walk 1 minute x 5 rounds

🏋️ Gym Session Example:

Normally:
• 4 sets of 10 reps with short rest periods

In hot weather:
• Reduce volume slightly
• Example: 3 sets of 8 reps
• Increase rest periods between sets
• Focus on controlled form rather than rushing through the session

✅ DO:
• Hydrate properly before, during & after training
• Listen to your body
• Train earlier or later in the day when possible
• Accept that performance may dip slightly in the heat

❌ DON’T:
• Ignore dizziness, headaches or nausea
• Try to force PBs in extreme heat
• Rush through sessions with minimal rest
• Compare your performance to cooler days

Training smart in the heat keeps you consistent, safe, and progressing 👊

Stop living on the treadmill. If you want to lose weight and actually change your body shape, you need Body Conditioning.

At Haigh’s Health & Fitness, I focus on building lean muscle while dropping fat. This means training with intent and hitting your steps. Here’s how to structure it:

Rep Ranges for Results
For weight loss and conditioning, we aim for a “sweet spot” that keeps the heart rate high while taxing the muscles:
• The Best Range: 10–15 reps.
• Why: This range creates enough “time under tension” to shape the muscle while providing a metabolic boost that burns more calories during and after the workout.

🏋️ Example Programming
Beginners (Focus on Form):
• 2–3 sets | 12–15 reps
• Dumbbell Goblet Squats: Deep reps, chest up.
• Dumbbell Rows: Strong pull to the hip.
• Spinal Flexion (Weighted Crunch): Curl the spine to engage the core.

Intermediate (Focus on Intensity):
• 3–4 sets | 10–12 reps
• Single-Leg Lunges: Challenges balance and burns more fuel.
• Overhead Press: Core locked, no arching the back.
• Kettlebell Swings: Explosive hinge for power.

Picking the Correct Weight
Stop playing it safe. To see results, you need to be near technical failure.
• The Rule: The last 2 reps of every set should be a struggle while keeping perfect form.
• Example: If your target is 12 reps and you hit 12 feeling like you could have done 20, the weight is too light. Don’t be afraid to grab the heavier dumbbells.

The 96% Rule (Steps)
The hour you spend training is only 4% of your day. To keep your metabolism firing, aim for 8,000–10,000 steps daily.
• Pro Tip: Take a 15-minute “digestive walk” after lunch or dinner. It’s an easy way to bank 1,500 steps without extra “gym time.”

No fancy diets, just sustainable training that works. If you’re at and need help figuring out your weights or structure, come find me on the gym floor.

The Secret to Muscle Growth?

Hitting 3 sets of 10 but not seeing your body change? You’re probably missing the most important ingredient: INTENSITY.

To build muscle, you have to train close to failure—the point where you physically cannot complete one more rep with perfect form. Those last 2-3 slow-motion reps are where the magic happens!

What a set should look like:

If your goal is 10 reps, here is how your sets should feel:

• Set 1: Reps 1-7 feel controlled. Reps 8-9 are tough. Rep 10 is very hard.
• Set 2: Same weight. Fatigue kicks in, and Rep 9 or 10 hits absolute failure.
• Set 3: Same weight. You might only hit 8 reps before form breaks. Perfect!
• Set 4: You hit failure at 7-8 reps. Muscle fully exhausted.

What if you don’t hit failure?

If you get to your target rep (e.g., 10) and it felt “easy,” DO NOT STOP.

1. Keep Going: Continue the set until you actually reach failure. If you end up doing 20 reps, that’s fine for this set!
2. Adjust Immediately: Now you know that weight is too light. For your next set, increase the weight by 2-5kg so that you hit failure within your 8-15 rep goal.
3. Continue as above through your sets to failure.

✅ THE IDEAL ZONE:

• Target Range: Aim for 3-4 sets of 8-15 reps.
• The Golden Rule: If you finish your set and feel like you could have done 5+ more reps, you didn’t grow.

❌ STAY AWAY FROM:

• Stopping at a “Magic Number”: Your muscles don’t count, they feel tension not fatigue.
• Sloppy Reps: If you have to swing your hips or can’t push anymore to get the weight up, you’ve already hit failure. Stop there.

Bottom line: Stop just counting reps. Make the reps count. 🔥
