How to use training methods in rehab - EP | 85

When it comes to coaching and training, so much attention and focus is given to the structure and progression through a block and year.  Why is it that when you look at rehab its a generic 3 x 10 with next to no progression week on week, block on block? This episode breaks out how to use methods simply in your rehab journey so that you can get back to being 100% and better through the process of training. Then on a side note, if you are not in the gym training post injury, drop everything and go sign yourself up somewhere that has a good selection of equipment. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

How to train after injuries & surgery - EP | 84

If you want to get back to 100% or better post injury and surgery you need to be training in the gym without question. But there is a very big difference between doing a few non specific drills and actual progressive training. Most people focus on the acute side of managing pain and injuries but this is a terrible long term play and is another injury waiting to happen. This episode breaks out some of the key things you need to focus on at the start of the journey, ill break out in another episode what the timelines and phases can look like long term. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Easier exercises, get better results - EP | 83

There is a real trend where people think that harder is better when it comes to exercise selection. This couldn't be further from the truth. The best exercise is the one you can master, where you can focus on the movement, how you create tension and execute it. When exercises get too hard, sure you can get it done but it comes at a cost. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Do less reps, get better results - EP | 82

Doing less reps on big compound movements, such squats and deadlifts is going to get better results than doing high reps. Not because high reps are bad but because you will fail on maintaining a good position far before you ever reach failure. If you are in survival mode during a lift you are not getting what you need out of it as you will always default to just getting it done. Do less reps, make it perfect and if needed do more sets, simples. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Rehab is harder than training - EP | 81

Training is often easier than working on mobility and movement. Most people move like crap. We just accept that we will have low levels of pain, poor mobility, and that not being able to touch our toes is just how it is. But this couldn't be further from the truth. All levels of training and movement are trainable, if you actually put the effort into them. This episode went on a bit of a tangent where I talk about structural balance and programming. I cover building a base level of Zone 2 training, and then having periods where you focus on body composition so that you are not always over consuming food. The older I get, and the more conversations I have with my clients, the more important I realise it is for people to move and function well. You need to train hard and constructively, but you also need to be healthy. This episode dives into exactly how to make the above true.
