•Box Squats
Some people love them, some people hate them. Best way to use them is as another movement to develop the lower limbs and posterior chain. They won’t replace the regular barbell squat, but they can be used as an alternative stimulus to bring about improvements in performance.

Give them a try and let me know what you think!

Fitness testing - It comes in all shapes and forms from heaviest weight lifted to fastest time to run 5km.

The gold standard in cardiovascular fitness testing is the VO2max test. Generally performed in a laboratory, the test requires a person to be connected to a metabolic cart with a mask to measure how much oxygen you consume and how much carbon dioxide you exhale. From this we can get a VO2max value which, in simple terms, shows your cardiovascular fitness.

If you have the chance to get into a lab for this test it’s highly recommended. But many people won’t get this chance, So offers a range of testing options for different sporting populations whilst also offering blood lactate testing for athletes looking to really develop their performance.

As many people are isolating at home, there is a large increase in the number of people using indoor trainers. Training indoors has been seen to increase your core temperature due to the limited cooling available. This increases plasma volume which can lead to an increased VO2max (Lorenzo et al, 2010). So if you can’t get outside, jump on the trainer, give a try and you may come out of this period stronger than ever 💪🏻

Exercise Focus: Inverted Rows 🏋️‍♂️

•The Inverted Row is a exercise that targets the muscles of the upper back as well as the lats, biceps and shoulders.

•It is great for building strength and is commonly used as a progression towards a regular pull up. As you can see, some of the body weight is supported by the ground making this beginner friendly.

•This exercise transfers really well to many sports like swimming (strong back for strokes) and especially contact sports that require muscle mass to protect the body during impact and movement.

Try this exercise in your next strength session and see how you go!

Tiers of Performance- This is what I use to develop every clients plan.

•Essentially, the base of all performance is health. Optimising diet, injury minimisation, recovery and just overall wellness. These are the things that set the ground work for us to build on. If this section of the pyramid is off, then it needs to be fixed before moving forward.
•Then we move to function. Here we look at movement patterns, repeating movements, how the body handles loads etc. This section is intended to help understand what the body can do and to what degree it can handle changes.
•The top tier is performance. Here we look at the smaller things like optimising strength, capacities and those final 1%.

This exact same frame work should be applied to EVERY SINGLE PERSON. Whether the goal is to lose weight, build strength or race at a world class level. You start with the bottom and work up.

Do you have an event that you are looking to train for? Here’s some tips to help you gain an understanding of the demands of the event.

•Study the course map: Is it hilly, flat, will there be wind, how long will it approx. take to complete

•Environmental Conditions: Is the area hot, humid, cold or at altitude.

•Past results: What were the best times in the past, who was competitive.

Asking these questions prior to your event can help with planning your training, nutrition and also race strategy.

Aspect Performance can work with you to develop a training plan to ensure you are prepared for the demands of the event and perform at your highest potential.

Watching professional athletes gives a great insight into what time, effort and dedication can get you within sport. You can see the movement patterns, body composition, strength and ability, that are honed over many hours, years and decades of training.

It’s important to remember that professional performance doesn’t happen overnight. Consistency is the biggest driver towards peak performance for any athlete!
