As I have completed the first year of my Masters in Strength & Conditioning and after recent holidays I’m now available to take on some more clients over the summer and most likely moving into Autumn😎

If you’re only looking for a PT for a couple months and want to learn the fundamentals of training in a gym environment then drop me a message for more information.

After a couple months with myself, your gym confidence will improve significantly, you will have a clear understanding on how to use equipment effectively and structure your weekly sessions which will be appropriate for you. You will walk away from this experience with a positive outlook on training and overall health & well-being.

1 or 2 PT per week will be available.

DM me if you’re interested👍🏼

The week has come for the ultramarathon…

On Saturday Jack will be running 100 miles and I’ll be running 40 miles alongside him. It’s going to consist of a lap of Burrator Reservoir with a little extra which will be done on the hour every hour for 24 hours. I’ll be joining Jack for 10 hours of the 24, with each lap being around 4.16 miles. The big man will be starting 12pm Saturday and finishing 12pm Sunday with myself joining him at 3 o’clock.

All donations will be going towards Movember UK supporting mens mental health, testicular & prostate cancer. Any donation would be very much appreciated going to a needed cause. The link will be below.

Going to be a great day and eager to put to use all the running towards this goal🏃🏽‍♂️

Feel free to come down and support us👊🏼

Moving into a new phase, tweaking minimal things but keeping the majority of the major movements the same to increase strength.
Using this week as a deload to practise technique, slow down elements of the exercise and increase ROM. It’s important to adjust tempo, set and rep formats and perform variations to prevent gaining an injury and maintain the enjoyment factor of your training.
Working at around 60% looking to increase reps in my case over the 4 week cycle.

Afternoon all, following on from guidance for personal trainers and coaches on the phased return of sport and recreation. I can now coach one to one personal training in the sunny outdoors from the 13th May providing I am maintaining the 2m social distancing.

The sessions I will be providing will either have none or very little equipment, which if used, will be cleaned thoroughly after each client with antibacterial spray and wipes.

So If you’re looking to get out the house and perform physical activity I can help provide that👍🏼

DM if you’re interested or would like some more details😎👊🏼

Fancy a push up challenge whilst being in quarantine?
I’m experimenting with a Russian push up programme covering a two week period. The idea is to maximally test your push ups on day one then the % of the max test and time differ from to day to day.
So for example, say you perform 40 push ups during the max test, after this you would do 30% every 60 minutes, performing a total of 12 per hour for the hours you are awake.
If you’re home workouts aren’t challenging you enough due to lack of equipment, try this challenge and use it as your only upper body training. This was yesterday’s video of me performing 18 push ups every 30 minutes which totalled to 450 in one day🌶
It’s an effective way to improve upper body endurance and get damn good at push ups😂 Look it up if you’re interested💪🏼

*Bulgarian split squat (BSS)*
Single leg training is great for addressing numerous goals at once. Whether that be improving deficiency between limbs or just to improve overall performance in the gym.
BSS is a great accessory movement to build foundational strength and can translate over well to bigger compound lifts.
It’s a movement I love doing and happy with the progression over the past few weeks.

*Goblet squat*
One of my main goals with all clients is to be functional, teaching simple and effective exercise to move efficiently and be ultimately stronger.
The goblet squat is perfect for beginners to learn as you can implement all the cues without the bar first then progress onto this after..
Client Phil has shown great development over the course of 4 weeks, honing in on technique, learning and mastering the basics which he demonstrated to me today and most importantly lifting proficiently.

*Inverted row variation*
This movement is great for stimulating the entire posterior chain (upper back, lats, glutes, hammies).
Adding in the alternating leg drive will fire up the hip flexors and increase an element of difficulty, it’s always good to get creative with body weight exercises to prevent the same mundane programmes.
Try 3 sets of 5/6 each leg..

*Squat depth*
Every individual moves differently when squatting, variables such as anatomy, mobility and motor control have an effect on movement mechanics and range of motion.
Hip anatomy influences movement patterns the most in my opinion because of factors like length of femur, size of femoral head, range of acetabulum socket (hip socket) and etc, if you struggle to squat past parallel it’s probably due to anatomy not poor mobility...
This drill can hopefully help distinguish where you should be at the bottom of your squat. Allow yourself sit deep whilst rounding your lower back, from there activate your erectors so your torso reaches a neutral position, your hips will notably rise then this should be your model squat depth.

Client performing the classic back squat in his 6 week programme before Christmas. With the main aim to be progressively overloading each week by removing plates under heels (which assisted with his ankle mobility), increasing the load and making a few adjustments on form.
Hip and ankle mobility were an issue in regards to range of motion but after addressing this through warm ups, his own mobility sessions and technique pointers by the end of the 6 weeks his squat had moved on fantastically getting down until parallel.
I’ll be doing another post regarding squat depth this week..

*Hip thrusts*
When we’re looking at developing posterior chain strength predominantly our glutes, the hip thrust is THE go to exercise in building big glutes.
Client Brodie performing these for the first time, technique was nailed after a few sets and hitting 60 kilos x8 was great.
Main cues for the hip thrust:
• Chin tucked/look forward throughout movement.
• Lower scapula placed along the bench otherwise you’ll slide off
• During lockout, contract hamstrings, quads and glutes to prevent hyperextension of the spine
• Movement takes place from the sternum down
• Feet planted to the floor with a vertical shin angle
