SLM Personal Training Redefined

Back Squats aren’t functional. Because “function” belongs to the client. What’s “functional” for one person, may not be “functional” for someone else. Exercise selection must consider a client’s training age, biomechanics, and preferences. With that in mind, Back Squats are popular because of the demands across each joint. But it’s not the end of the world if you can’t Back Squat safely or with correct technique. Here are some good substitutions from hard to easy skill demand.

Appropriate rest = better gains. Although it goes without saying, make sure you earn your rest.

JARRAH COOKS

Come back sweaty, not hungry.

Chicken
Air fryer on 180 degrees for 40 minutes. Easy.

Rice
Wash ya rice ya muppet.
Throw in some chopped broccolini (stalks and all).
Season with Lao Gan Ma, salt, pepper and a bit of chicken stock.

I make some version of this every week. Swap the veggies, change the flavours, rotate the protein. The formula never fails.
Rice in the cooker, protein in the air fryer. Dinner sorted, every time.

If you give it a crack or switch up the ingredients, let me know what you add in!

People come here for the coaching, but they stay for the people beside them. This is not just training. This is a team. Because strong environments create strong people.

Ever trained for months or years and felt nothing is changing?

You are not alone. Many clients come to SLM after doing exactly that. Training hard, but stuck in the same place. Others try to run their way out of it, doing more and more cardio, getting short term results then hitting a wall or ending up injured.

The problem is not effort, it is direction. You cannot expect progress if the stimulus never changes.

The answer is progressive strength training.

Incrementally increasing load, volume, skill or intensity so the body continues to adapt. Not guessing. Not repeating the same session forever.

A structured strength program creates progress you can measure in how you move, how you feel, how you look and how you perform.

Stop spinning your wheels. Start progressing with purpose.
