This was 145kg and 1.5x Bodyweight per hand for a new 10m Max on Farmers for Pavlos. But I thought I'd try and make the video useful too and create something you can use to help your own training. The other way you can help your training is hiring me.

If you're a strongman, you have to be good at farmer's carries. If you're not a strongman, it's one of the highest ROI movements you're not doing. But don't train them like a throwaway finisher in a group session. Whether you compete or not, train farmer's like a strongman.

Just a word of warning, working with me for more than just a couple of months will probably cost you more than just the price of the coaching. I'm looking for 2.25 people who have a preference for big fat juicy man titties and a bottomless clothing budget... If thats you DM me.

It doesn't have to be the full movement, it can be derivatives or something constraint lead that help build technique. But you can't change a movement pattern that doesn't exist and in my experience prescribing sets, reps or load in instances like this is a little arbitrary.

I was in the gym and someone came up to me and asked… ‘Ive not Snatched in 3 years, what should I do and how heavy should I go?..’ My answer? ‘Start with the Muscle Snatch and OHS and expand out as you get comfortable. Increase weight until just before things get ropey.’

Results like this happen because you train consistently with intensity while recovering well between sessions. Either way, gaining strength while dropping inches off your waistline and gaining them on the quads and shoulders sounds pretty good right? I have coaching space open.

Are you recovering? Performance going 📈 and you feel relatively healthy = Sweet Spot. Performance going 📉 and you’re not picking up niggles = Try doing a bit more. Performance 📉 and you’re picking up niggles = Try doing a bit less.

On top of it being unfunny and predictable, because I'm sure we all look forward to the 1st of April for the socials, a lot of it will be AI generated slop, because Chat GPT's known for its world class send of humour. Maybe I'm just a miserable bastard 😂

A 35kg increase on a 1RM is progress not to be sniffed at. But when you take into account we've added 4 Reps to that number while taking Joe out of pain, it's phenomenal progress. 6 months to become stronger, more explosive, out of pain and more effective at his sport.

Here’s a tactic to continue training while injured. 1. Find a pain free 1RM or ‘Pain Max’ (The weight where your pain starts to manifest) 2. Work at 70% to 80% of your ‘Pain Max’ instead of your actual 1RM Recalibrate this each week.

A fact of sport is that sometimes things break. But Good training should make you harder to break as well as increasing outputs. If you’re constantly getting injured, it’s probably not bad luck. It’s probably bad programming. And I can help on that front, You know where I am.

Two movements where the Smith machine beats the free weight versions? Standing Calf Raises & Bench Throws. Stability is great for strength and hypertrophy development and you're probably not going to able to load a Medball heavy enough to get the adaptations of the bench throw.

What are your favourite uses for the Smith Machine? Does it deserve the hate it gets?

Sean: Rugby retiree Newcastle's Strongest England's Strongest competitor You don't need to be world class to be coached, just willingness to learn.

You don't have to draw dicks, but it's an option if it stops you being an unhealthy sweaty mess who gets out of breath at the thought of a rep count above 5. But who knew progressive overload could be as simple as drawing progressively bigger dicks... I fucking love coaching.

Here’s a 2 day template you can use to insert some health & conditioning into your strength training: Day 1: Do some sort of steady state work Day 2: Do some sort of interval work I’m not going to tell you exactly what yo do, but feel free to DM me if you need help.

Top 5% in your age and gender is pretty damn good and we'll keep going because we have some lofty goals. Done with a little bit of weight loss and zero strength loss too! Who knew this slightly overweight coach knew how to improve health and cardiovascular fitness too!

And since moving fully online none of that has changed. ✅ Individualised and tailored ✅ Adapted when needed ✅ Always willing to back up and give the reasons I've chose something That, along with the progress people get, is probably why people stick around so long. Hit me up

I've worked with Jack for about 6 years now, thats a long time, So it's unrealistic to think it was all smooth sailing. It's fairly normal to not reap the reward you'd like in 12 weeks, it's hard for 6 years of high quality training to be beaten down by variance.
