HP PT - Hit Points Personal Training

Anywhere 🐵

[Not sponsored] I've recently completed the GMB Fitness Mobius course and I can't recommend them enough. Performance based training, functional, fun, easy to use. Suitable for both the inactive as healthy maintenance and for athletes to supplement their existing training. Their website will help you choose the most appropriate course for you. By the end of the course, you'll have a great movement flow you can perform anywhere. The price:value ratio is in my professional opinion excellent.

Inactive people - There are entirely accessible beginner courses. There's no toxic goals for aesthetics or how much you weigh. The only goal is to enjoyably improve how you can manipulate your own body. It will combat the countless symptoms of inactivity I constantly treat people for. The courses are hugely modular in that you can select your training frequency and time spent. You won't need any equipment, just a comfortable space to move about in.

Athletes - I already train in multiple disciplines and was concerned that I wouldn't have additional time for something like this. I was able to arrange the course (on the app) so that all I did was 15m in the morning, 6 days a week (you're free to choose whatever setup works for you). It turned into a wake-up routine that I really enjoyed. The comparatively lower intensity meant it had no impact on my recovery times. The course helped me identify some gaps in my mobility and functional strength that I didn't even know I had. After completing it there was a noticeable increase in my agility which has improved my BJJ. Just a fantastically transferable supplement for your main sport.

People in between - It's f**ken heaps good.

Can't believe I used to stress about not having access to a gym or equipment. Out here with nothing. This isn't 'best efforts', this is business as usual. No need to compromise.

A simple 4 component workout structure means I can work my whole body.

As always tho, if you're starting out, rings (or simple cable, rope, anything) are your #1 equipment purchase. As comprehensive pulling requires some sort of structure to pull off and the ceiling rows are a little advanced.

Yeah BOI 💪
One if my 2020 goals was a clean handstand pushup (unassisted hs -> press -> back to a balanced hs). Super stoked to land it.

Here's a suggested progression system [COMMENTS SECTION] if you're interested in getting to that stage or anything that comes before it. Every step is a worthy goal and you decide how far you wanna take your body ✌

Broke it down into 2 aspects. You can train either and get to some great exercises. Just be aware that the HSPU will require both.

1) Pressing: Gradually building strength with increased load and more overhead angles. Ensure that your forearms remain close to upright when pressing overhead. That will place the load more on the main movers (deltoids and pecs), away from the supporting triceps. It will also increase the range of motion, moving down and forward, rather than simply straight down.

2) Hold/Balance: Progressing with load and higher angles. Focus on streeeeeeetching yourself out. Elevate your shoulders as much as you can. Avoid passively sitting into them. Perfom wall holds with your belly facing the wall. Back to the wall produces some bendy ass banana stands 👎

As always, don't train to failure. Increase volume (sets, days) rather than intensity (reps, as load is constant). Don't be scared to drop reps in favour of more sets or days. You'll end up doing more work with volume. Trust. Having said that try to get to a comfortable ~8 reps or ~30s before moving to the next progression

These are all push exercises. Make sure you're also training the other 3 movements - pull, legs, core. Check out my home circuits highlights for options.

Happy to answer any further questions GLHF 🤙
