Lifting with the boys

How we doing awesome andfit!? The sunshine and warm weather has arrived, we’re eating healthy and training hard – life is good!

NO BREAD DAY 32/54

How we doing andfit!? Its day 32 of the no bread challenge already. If you are anything like me, the first 3 weeks went extremely well, motivation was high, I was prepared with pre-packed meals and i was feeling good about the change. Week 4 and 5, motivation levels have definitely dropped and compromise have certainly started to make its way into my NO BREAD way of life! What about you? Still going strong? Dont you lie to coach, I’ve heard about that slice of Vogel and that half a brownie you had With only 3 weeks to go, lets tighten things back up and finish strong! I cant wait to re-test the benchmarks with guys and to see the improvements made. Really hope some of you have also found the past week or two hard otherwise I’ve just done a confession session for nothing…

NO BREAD DAY 30/54

Hey athletes, I was reminded today of a simple but great truth – fitness is a life long journey. We are all super passionate about our fitness and can sometimes get so excited about it that we attempt things that arguably we’re not quite ready for. I’m not wanting to discourage you to attempt and try things you havent done before, but I do want you to remember the sequence in which we do things at andfit:

First – TECHNIQUE

If you are serious about increasing your performance and staying safe then technique must be your number one priority.

Second – CONSISTENCY

Want to start upping the intensity by increasing the weight you are lifting or by moving faster through a movement? Ask yourself this question: Can I consistently maintain good technique at this movement at the current intensity (weight,height or speed)? If the answer is yes then up the intensity. If you cannot show consistency at the given movement yet then stay at the current intensity untill you can.

Finally – INTENSITY

Intensity is what we are after. It directly relates to results. No intensity = no results. So we need intensity, but certainly not at the expense of good sound movement!

So remember guys, you have a lifetime to get that muscle up, handstand push up, 200kg deadlift or sub 3min Fran. Be diligent with technique work, disciplined with mobility and deadly with the strength work you need to achieve your goals!
