Building explosive power as an athlete comes down to two things.
1. Building the strength needed to be explosive
2. Being able to transfer this strength into explosive movements.
We can program in depth drop jumps in before our heavy strength movements because the goal is maximum intention when jumping or put simply to move with as much explosive power as we can.
The goal isn’t to do sets close together with short rest breaks but rather to have substantial rest so we can use maximum intention.
I would be attempting basic plyo exercises like broad jumps and box jumps first as these do come with a degree of risk.
Want to level up your strength and explosive power ?
DM me the word “performance “ to level up

The recent weigh ins for the UFC saw one of their fighters collapse after weighing in, this can happen if the cut was a really big one or the methods used weren’t safe or effective.
Things like this put the fighter at lot of risk in terms of their health, this can be avoided if we adhere to these strategies
- working with a relevant professional to oversee the cut
- staying closer to fight weight
- using evidenced based methods rather than the bro science strategies that float around many gyms
- not leaving large chunks of weight to cut on the day of weigh ins
Combat sports already pose an inherent risk factor, it’s unnecessary and dangerous to make it even more risky cutting weight like this.
We have come so far in regards to evidenced based practices with weight cutting, don’t let yourself end up in this situation.
Want to cut weight safely and effectively? DM me “weight cut” and I’ll reach out with more info

Last weekend one of my performance athletes that I work with Brielle competed at the South Australia swimming open securing herself a first place in
- 50 metres breast stroke
- 100 metres breast stroke
Brielle is a very talented athlete with heaps of potential and she has applied herself well since we have been working together on her strength and conditioning.
Always happy to be trusted by working with their athletes.

Had the pleasure of helping .w with his fight camp nutrition leading into his fight on helping him fuel performance and also make weight.
Safe to say everything went as smoothly as it could and we made weight and refuelled / rehydrated well and Armani topped it off with a solid win.
Will hopefully be working together for his next fight this year.
Makes my job easier when I have fighters who put the work in and trust the process.
If you’re a fighter wanting to fuel performance properly and make weight easier and safer comment “performance” below

Throughout this year I’ve worked with athletes across multiple sports ( Muay Thai, boxing, mma, bjj, swimming, rugby ) and the high performers in these sports all show the same patterns.
You could be a hobbyist or a professional athlete and still be exhibit these patterns to make sure you continue to improve.
I’m looking to work with more driven athletes in 2026 so if you are a hobbyist looking to level up or a professional athlete wanting to dial things in even further drop me a DM to learn more

Improving as an athlete isn’t overly complicated
Using fancy methods like functional patterns may seem like a good option but they don’t help us improve on things like
- sufficient exposure to load (weight)
- developing true explosive power
- building a bulletproof gas tank
- building a solid level of strength
If you really want to improve as an athlete you should be focusing on methods that are applicable and give a solid transfer over to your sport not silly version of that like functional patterns

Don’t let digestive issues ruin your train sessions / game days
Digestive issues can play a huge role in destroying performance through things like cramping, reflux, bloating and dehydration.
All of these things can be avoided if we are smart about our pre/ intra nutrition and hydration.
Having issues with digestive health around training?
Drop me a DM to see how I can help

5k runs have been used by fighters for decades but this alone won’t improve your cardio enough to build a solid gas tank.
Interval max intensity sprint drills is something I use a lot with the fighters I work with as it as it’s easy to implement and gives great bang for buck.
Here I’m doing 8 rounds of 100m sprints at max intensity and in between rounds I’m letting my heart rate come back down to a base line so every time I do a round it’s at max intensity.
Want to improve your performance as a fighter and build bullet proof strength and gas tank ?

Fast forward to now and where i am specialising in strength training and body transformations using a science based performance approach.
