New athlete signing 🤝

Fresh off selection for the Australian U23 Softball squad 🇦🇺

After a not so big Nationals campaign he’s picked up a bit of knee dysfunction, so we’ll tidy up movement quality first before pushing strength and power.

That’s the difference between training and strength & conditioning — we fix the weak links before loading the engine.

Then it’s time to build serious lower body strength, rotational power, and durability for international competition.

Proud to have another Aussie rep trusting the process.

Let’s get to work. 💪

Episode 2 of How Far, How Heavy and the sled’s getting disrespectful.

237kg on the sled and we’re building real lower body power, acceleration strength, and brutal work capacity.

Heavy sled pushes are elite for force production, sprint mechanics, and leg drive without smashing the joints.

This is the kind of strength & conditioning work that carries over to sport performance and game speed.

Short distance, heavy load, full intent — move weight with purpose.

Next episode… we go heavier. 🛷💨

Pre-season done. General Performance Phase activated.

3RM trap bar deadlift testing with two 16-year-old rugby union/league hybrids who decided the off-season wasn’t optional.

are far exceeding anything that I could dream of at 16

142.5kg and 152.5kg at sixteen years old — that’s structured strength and conditioning, not luck.

We built this through progressive overload, smart volume management, and intent on every rep.

Force production up. Posterior chain firing. Bar speed aggressive.

Any coaches wanna fire some shots at my boys about their technique lifting 1.5-1.75x their BW?

Their technique and posture at 60,80,100,120kg is so strict and fkkn spot on that I’m happy to push them despite their relative young training age,

This is what happens when you respect periodisation and actually recover between sessions.

Off-season wasn’t random gym work — it was movement quality, hypertrophy blocks, max strength development, and position-specific power.

Trap bar deadlifts are a weapon for athletic development — lower limb strength, trunk stiffness, and transfer to sprint acceleration.

We test with purpose, not ego — 3RM gives us data without frying the CNS.

I jumped in and matched 152.5kg after putting in my own off-season graft — coach has to walk the walk.

I’ve got more in the tank… but that top-end strength reveal comes later in the performance cycle.

If you’re a young athlete chasing speed, power, and collision dominance, stop guessing in the gym and start training like it’s a system. Send me a message and let’s get fkkn started 💪

Friday chats at the bench with .r

95kg for a single today — but the chat was heavier than the lift…
Programming sets, debating drops, arguing over who ruined tech house 🤝

Funny thing is — strength and DJing got the same rules:

Consistency > hype

Good timing > ego

And if you rush the build up and climax too early (giggity) the whole thing sounds like s**t

100kg is loading soon

Bars, beats, and big lifts only from here.

Stay tuned — both on the decks and under the bar

Nothing but respect for the club and the people in it.

But when your time, value and overall wellbeing stop being aligned, you’ve got to back yourself and step away.

Know your worth — and move accordingly.

Your workouts are either rewiring your brain or wasting time.

Exercise increases BDNF, Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor a key driver of neuroplasticity that helps neurons grow and connect.

Both aerobic work and resistance training improve learning, coordination, and emotional regulation when done consistently.

If your training never challenges your system, your brain doesn’t adapt either. Train to grow your brain, not just your biceps.

Exercise should be the first tool in your belt when it comes to building the routine that your future self can be proud of,

Yours in fitness and health,

Eating real food isn’t “dieting.” Choosing fruit, veg, quality protein and fewer ultra-processed carbs is just mindful eating — not a red flag. We’ve normalised rubbish and labelled balance as extreme.

Running isn’t automatically better for fat loss than walking. Running burns calories but relies heavily on carbs and creates more fatigue, stress, and recovery cost. Walking sits in the fat-oxidation zone, is low stress, repeatable daily, and wins long term.

Every rep doesn’t have to be perfect. Yes, movements should be safe and controlled — but chasing PRs and high effort gets a little ugly sometimes. Adaptation happens when the body is challenged, not when you’re frozen by perfection.

You don’t need 4+ sessions a week to improve. Even 1–3 quality sessions done consistently beats an unrealistic plan you quit. Sustainability always wins.

Warming up is important. It prepares your joints, muscles, nervous system, and performance. Skipping it doesn’t save time — it costs results.

And finally… Christmas didn’t ruin you. Two festive weeks don’t undo a year of work — but using them as an excuse to stay stuck does.

Consistency > perfection.
Long term > extremes.

Let’s make 2026 something your future self will be proud of

ACL Phase 3 Rehab

Once restored ROM, Quad/Hammy symmetry & almost all that swelling is gone, it’s time to start challenging the system 💪

has been commited AF to his knee rehab journey, completing 3-4 sessions a week

Along with his essentials for the lower limb, Reg is also smashing 2-3 upper body exercises per session to extend rest periods on his legs and get back into previous strength areas for his back & chest

Your coach literally has one job…

While you’re dying of oxygen deprivation, glycogen depletion and old mates banging weights around so loud you can’t even think…

The age old classic “do 2 more” 😂😂

National Athlete Signing 🔥

I’m a couple weeks late on this one, but Softball superstar .therese has joined the Strive To Be program 💪

Em is already striving to be great, having been selected for Queensland and Australia after a couple of fantastic years representing Rockhampton and Capricornia 🥎

We’ve been working immediately on Em’s first 2 steps and improving her acceleration, as well as rotational power and core strength, key components needed to stay in peak form and injury free

My little legend impressed me each and every week with her effort and ex*****on 🔥

Show Em some love in the comments 💪🔥
