Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training 🩸💪

A smart way to build strength and muscle while keeping joint load low 💭 ideal for rehab, recovery, or deload phases.

Our preferred Protocol: 25 → 20 → 15 reps, increasing resistance as reps decrease.
Exercises: Leg extensions | Single-leg calf raises | Split squats.

By limiting blood flow, we create greater muscle activation at lighter loads - helping you rebuild strength safely and efficiently.

Off-season grind 🔒🏋️‍♂️

I’ve just kicked off my own GAA off-season training 🏐. With no on-field load right now, I can push my gym sessions a little longer ⏱️ and really focus on the essentials:
✅ Building strength 💪
✅ Tidying up last season’s knocks 🩹
✅ Laying the groundwork for injury prevention 🛡️

Normally I’d blend in some running at this stage, but an ongoing Achilles issue means I’m dialing that back and giving it time to settle ⏳. This block will run for ~6 weeks 📆 before reassessing and progressing.

Here’s today’s session 👇
A1) Barbell Bench Press
A2) Lateral Raise

B1) Explosive Half Squats
B2) Copenhagen Holds

C1) SA Landmine Press
C2) Press Ups (to failure)

D1) Chin Ups
D2) Cable Crunch
D3) Ab Rollout

If you want a tailored plan that fits your sport 🏅, season, and body — our AthElite Programme will get you there 🚀. DM to get started 📩
