PHT starts a new training block this week alongside Athletic 🙌🏾

This one will be an 8 week training block, 8 weeks of progressive strength & hypertrophy training, with each day having a different focus 👇🏽

DAY 1: Squat + Bench - 2 big lifts alongside plenty of accessory work

DAY 2: Pull-Ups - moving on from the ring pull-ups in the last block and focusing on pronated bar pull ups building the strength and control to get stronger on the bar

DAY 3: Deadlifts - time to get strong off the floor. We’ll be working through deadlift progressions alongside accessory work to build the muscles that support it

DAY 4: Single leg strength - a big focus on unilateral strength, stability and building stronger legs that carry over into everything else we do

Every session is full body, with a main lift, accessory work and core and we’re keeping the plyos in too so you’re training the whole body across the week, not just hammering one muscle group each day

The programme is structured. Your week doesn’t have to be - you can join PHT on any day of the week and work through the programme at your own pace (doesn’t have to be that specific day) with every movement coached and scaled to suit you

New block starts this week. Get booked in and let’s get to work 🔥

ATHLETIC BLOCK 04.

12 weeks of progressive training, with each day having a different focus ➡️

MONDAY - we’re continuing our Olympic lifting, with the focus being on clean & jerk, building on everything we’ve done in the last 2 blocks

TUESDAY - is still all about the team fitness, building that engine, basically the stuff you all love

WEDNESDAY - we’re working towards those kipping & butterfly pull-ups, with plenty of strength work to build the capacity and control needed to get there.

THURSDAY - longer endurance pieces to keep building that engine and improving your ability to keep moving for longer.

FRIDAY - a big focus on leg development and single leg strength, building bigger, stronger legs that carry over into everything else we do

Saturday stays the same - 2 big fitness classes to kick off the weekend

Different focuses, same goal - get stronger, fitter and more capable 🙌🏽

The new block starts this week. Get yourself booked in and let’s get to work 💜

Benchmark week - so good to see so many PBs up on the board this week 👏🏾 epic work!

So many squat PBs 🔥🔥
The last 12 weeks Athletic and PHT programmes have been focused on building up to a 1RM at the end of the block and the team have put in some numbers, we LOVE to see it 🤩

Many members getting stronger overhead and hitting push press PBs which have been a focus this block 💪🏾

As it goes with PBs, there were also plenty of fails with members pushing to their absolute max

Some pull up firsts and building up the weights in PHT 👏🏾

Hugeee dips going up and the team grinding to get them done 🙌🏾

Mid week birthday celebration for Leti Taylor 🥳

Finishing off the week celebrating our Lee Wilson birthday 🥳

This week has been benchmark week at PA - a chance to test where we’re at after a full 12 week block of training. But not every benchmark week ends in a PB, and that’s okay.

The more experienced you get, the harder PBs are to come by, if they weren’t, we’d all be squatting houses by now.

But if you didn’t hit the number you were chasing, look at what’s become easier, more consistent and what else you can do that you couldn’t do before.

Maybe you’re a bit more comfortable upside down, your power clean feels smoother than it used to and that 95kg squat that you could only hit on a good day. Now it’s solid - on a good day, a bad day AND a day when you’d rather be in bed. That’s the kind of progress that doesn’t show up in a number on the day, but it’s exactly what turns 95kg into 100kg down the line 🔥

Next week, new block, let’s get at it 👊🏽

Why we’re different at PA 💜

We run 3 classes that complement each other, but each with a different focus:

🏋️ PHT - build muscle & strength
⚡ ATHLETIC - strength, skill and conditioning
🔥 FITNESS - pure engine & conditioning

This means you can mix and match, or bias your training toward a specific goal.

Not sure what the right mix or starting point looks like for you? Drop us a message for a free consultation and we’ll help you figure it out 🙌
