One for the footballers here 👆

Here are 3 reasons you need to get on heavy training for your in game performance:

- HIGHER FORCE DEVELOPMENT RATE
Faster off the mark, turning on the ball, or reacting to loose touches. This is due to more efficient nerve firing, as your nervous system becomes more co ordinated to the muscles 🧠

- STIFFER TENDONS
Tendons work together with muscle; to transfer and store elastic energy when performing a high force task. Not just explosiveness, but for endurance, better movement economy and fatigue delaying. This = more efficient jumping and explosiveness for a full 90. 🏃

- RESISTANCE TO INJURY
Arguably the most important in today’s game, with hard uneven surfaces, ligament and tendon ruptures are at an all time high. Especially in football, cruciates are extra susceptible to damage due the nature and speed of the game. Building muscle/tissue around these areas creates more resilience to awkward movements and forces, as you are consistently learning to co ordinate yourself and limbs into the strongest positions to deal with said load. Think more resistance to being knocked off the ball, better heading + ball striking biomechanics and being able to keep your footing during a big challenge. 🪨

If you’re a competitive player looking for more output in their games, drop me a message ✅

I’ve had someone with a double leg break from football, back to match fitness ahead of schedule.

Football can produce brutal life long injuries, so invest in yourself outside of ball work and get your performance and longevity where you need it to be.

People often push body weight movements aside for easier machine work. Im going to give you 3 reasons why you need to be rotating body weight work into your sessions 👇

1. Cheap + Accesible - you can literally manipulate your body weight in so many ways to cause a good stimulus, all you need is an open space and imagination. And it costs ÂŁ0.

2. They teach you to brace + stabilise - If you’re new to body weight training, chances are you’ll be fast humbled by a case of the shakes. Always the biggest wake up call to get on the bars more often!

3. Loadability - Although body weight exercises can seem quite vanilla, they all have a high capacity to increase or decrease weight. Whether it’s adding a band to get your first one, or adding weight on a chain to make it more challenging, there is a huge opportunity to progress at any level.

I have taken people from 0 pull ups to 15 pull ups, strict. I have people dipping for reps, who could never even hold the dip position before. It really is a big lever to pull if you’re looking to get into training, with the right approach of course.

If you’re curious or skeptical about hiring a trainer, dont be.

You wouldn’t take your driving test without lessons first.

You wouldn’t try and build a house without a builder.

You wouldn’t invest your money without professional guidance.

So why would you not invest your biggest asset? You.

Hiring a professional is usually the first move for almost every project, and nothing is different here.

Your quality of life, functionality and fluidity of how your body moves and operates is arguably the MOST important investment you’ll ever make, the results are priceless.

Contact me, and make the best investment there is.

Just an about post, for anyone looking to see what I am about or if I’m the guy for you.

Personal training is about growth in and out of the gym, not one or the other.

Coming from a footballing background, I heavily believe your body should move the most efficient way possible for its weight. Being able to reflect that within my training is what I aim for.

ECSC provides in depth, sustainable and enjoyable training to any walk of life.

No challenge is too big, and I will always ensure we take the most rigorous and efficient approach to solving your problem.

Personal training spaces available, contact me through Instagram, WhatsApp or Facebook and we can have a chat about the way forward for you and your lifestyle ✅
