Lift heavy and move your spine!

A cracking upper body session under time constraints filled with intensity. 40 mins from start to finish ✅

Happy with my new signature SB Death Extension too, I will no doubt feel that one tomo 🔥

A) Military Press - 4 reps E2MOM X 5

B1) Ring Push-Up 3 X 7-9
B2) Seated Row 3 X 12 or fail

C1) Towel Curls 2 X 10-12
C2) Tricep Pull-down 2 X 10-12
C3) SB Death Extension 2 X 40 sec (5 on / 5 “off X 4)

I try and do some variation of these 3 exercises every week and I will load them close enough to failure each time ☠️

Like anything, I will start at the easiest point and progress when I feel comfortable to do so. Once reps slow down, I’ll aim for 2-3 more reps ✅

1️⃣ GHR Sit-ups - Extreme spinal extension which can be tricky for a lot of people at the start. Aim for bigger ROM gains each week and then load if comfortable

2️⃣ Side Bends - Any variation is key! Barbell on the back as shown, side plank position on a bench, with a db by the side. Just like the GHR sit-up, start easy with little to no weight and get comfortable being uncomfortable in that lateral flexion

3️⃣ Rollouts - I would always have a client starting these on a Swiss ball before progressing to the wheel. Then we can add a weight vest or elevate our knees or both. If a wheel is all that’s available and it’s too challenging then put the wheel on a slightly higher surface

Like everything, there’s plenty of ways to skin a cat but these have worked so well for me, and I enjoy sending it close to failure and getting a tasty lower back pump while I’m at it

I love it when a plan comes together!

Great day out, felt comfortable for the whole race and in reality could have pushed a little more second half but was very happy with it in the end!

Now time for a roast and some creams that I’ve been taking about continuously for the last week

Shoutout to for all the programming over the last couple of months and everyone who came out and shouted at me ❤️

A couple of months late with this post but take a look at before & after photos of the new and improved BEST personal training and semi private facility in the city 😉

New paint and a new layout. I decided on having a more strength based room along with a conditioning based room.

Everything can move easily to allow for group training and it just feels so much better!
