Athletic Pursuit

Weight training on the outside looks like it requires minimal skill. But I’ve learned over the years that the body has sneaky ways that it compensates to perform a movement, and these compensations are signs and signals that you’re on the trend towards injury, weakness, and eventually long-term degeneration of a joint and, in extreme cases, disability. I’ve heard the story of “I used to do track and field, football, [insert your sport] at a high level when I was younger.” Now at 50+, they’ve had to have hip replacement surgery.

Strength and conditioning aims to prevent that, keeping the body performing “functional movements” well and maintaining the mobility we have as kids.

Don’t know about you, but I value being the most optimal health- and fitness-wise I can.

I started Athletic Pursuit because I was tired of watching the fitness industry sell people a lie.

Fake transformations. Edited photos. Programs that don't deliver. Coaches who don't actually coach.

I do something different.

I coach my clients live — I'm on the call, coaching every set. The programs are built around your body, not someone else's. The results aren't dramatic 6-week shreds. They're the kind of strength and capability that holds up for decades.

If you've been training on your own and feel like you're guessing — or you've been burned by online programs that promised the world and delivered nothing — I built this for you.

Forget clean eating. Forget cheat days. Think in frequencies. Veg and protein — every day, every meal. Simple carbs — around training, not random afternoons. Indulgences — placed, not banned. The people who get lean and stay lean don't restrict harder. They structure smarter.

Core stability = resisting unwanted motion to protect your spine.

If yours is weak, your nervous system locks down your hips, back and shoulders as protection — limiting your squats, deadlifts, presses, and even simple daily movement.

The fix isn’t more stretching. It’s building real stability, then reinforcing it under load.

1️⃣ Bird Dogs — 5 reps/side
2️⃣ Side Plank — 20-30 sec/side
3️⃣ McGill Curl-Up — 8 sec × 3

Then progress to unilateral, alternating lifts:

Push — Alt. KB Chest Press
Pull — Single Arm Row
Squat — Single Arm KB Front Rack Squat
Hinge — Single Leg RDL
Brace hard. Don’t twist. Train smart.

Save this for your next session 💪

Most people don’t realise they’re undereating — especially when trying to build muscle.

This client came to me eating as little as 1,200 calories a day with only 50-90grams protein daily.

To build muscle and gain weight, we need to nearly double the protein and triple the fibre intake.

If you’re doing strength training and not seeing progress — your nutrition is probably the problem.
