WALK BEFORE YOU KICK

A nice way to start developing your kick up away from wall is to progress to a walking kick up drill.

This can be done kicking off the same leg each rep or alternating sides to add some challenge/variety.

Typically done early in the session as prep work, it can also be the main part of your session if it's the focus.

We're looking for control in the air. That 1-2 seconds hold at the top with legs apart.

The goal being how to organise the hips over the hands, pressing through the shoulders.

NOT GLAMOROUS

It's becoming more well known that the real progress with training isn't made with the flashy, cool moves you see online.

Progress comes from the dull, the mundane, the simple and effective things done on repeat.

Having an environment and people around you who are also tied into the same Goals you have almost makes this side of the work the easy part.

When those around you push, you push.

When you push, those around you push.

We managed to catch Maxx and Sacha going through some Flexy stuff earlier this week.

Go fast, go alone. Go far, go together.

GET READY

Warming up well can sometimes be the difference between an awful sessiom and a good session.

Or a good session and a great session.

Increase core temperature and circulation.

Prime the Nervous System for more demanding work.

An opportunity to expose the body a little to positions you won't get into during your main work.

Check some of the evening get their sessions started strong.

Q1 SUCCESS

During one of our Tribe Talks last year, Nat mentioned she'd want to hit 60kg with Back Squats in 2026.

Well, safe to say she's nailed it.

Awesome work Legend!

SIDE STRENGTH

You’re overcomplicating Cossacks 😳

Before depth, load, or looking smooth…
know what you’re actually training.

There are two versions 👇

1️⃣ Foot flat = Adductors (groin)
More inner thigh. More lateral strength.
Your control + strength version

2️⃣ Toes up = Inner hamstrings
More posterior chain. Longer range.
Your length + control version.

Same movement. Different outcome 🙃

Most people just bounce between both with zero intent.

That’s why nothing improves.

Pick one.
Slow it down.
Own the position.

I’ll show you how to build it properly in this series 👊

PUSH PULL LEGS

A spin on the programming classic.

Whilst not strictly an entire day of each, it's important to think about how we can include improving our flexibility along with our strength training.

Especially with how being Strong & Bendy is all the rage right now 😛

An easy way is ACCESSORIES!

This goes both ways. Upper body focused sessions can have lower body flexibility drills incorporated into them and vice-versa.

The challenge really is finding the minimum effective dose we can apply to drive change or maintain where we're at, without affecting the Primary work.

For any given mobility/flexibility drill, here's an easy place to start.

3-5 sets. 6-10 reps (paused) or 45-60sec active/passive holds.

Like any strength training, of which flexibility falls under, we want to be working somewhere between 70%-80% of our maximum tolerable stretch.

Can be completed as Super Sets or as it's own part of the session after main work has been completed.

Lois is a great example of how we can succeed with this sort of training ☝️

WIN BY DESIGN.

Michelle said at the start of 2025 she wanted to be “fit enough” to sprint 😅

Now she’s at athletics on a Monday night… doing it!

3 sessions:
plyo. full body. accessories.

Nothing fancy.
Just the right next step—repeated.

Mum of two wild boys…
and now she keeps up (and smokes them) 🙃

“Get fit” was never the goal.

Becoming the person who can was 🔥

HANDSTAND + PANCAKE

Quick look through Cass doing her Thursday program.

Main focus is Handstands with secondary work being Pancake.

Warm up, focusing on shoulder openers. Ending with a chest to wall hold.

A1. Split kick ups x6-8
A2. Box hami side bend ×45-60sec

B1. Split heel pulls ×6-8
B2. Standing leg lift x3-5, 5sec holds

C1. Split handstand hold (assisted) x30-45sec
C2. Standing pancake x60sec

D1. Body row (rings) x8-12
D2. Leg lowers x12+

We're exposing Cass to more time on the hands and gradually working on some balance drills during the week.

Slow and steady. Handstand glory awaits the patient.

INTRO TO RDL

Check out this clip of Lil' Phil going through a classic dowel/band drill with Abi during her Foundations program.

A few things to note:

We've already covered how to breathe/brace and create tension.

We've also worked on other hinge variations and maintaining balance in this position.

Our intention with RDL's initially is to bias load and length to the Hamstrings, whilst keeping the upper body organised effectively.

At this point in Foundations, we're not really learning anything new but trying to integrate different things we've already covered.

This drill can be a great tool to learn the position we're after before loading it up. Or as a reminder before moving to the barbell.

x10reps front and back. 3sec on the way down.

BUSY PEOPLE. BUILT BETTER

Supersets get underrated.

Most people think they’re just about “saving time.”

Wrong.

They’re about getting more return from the time you’ve got 😅

Pair the right movements → you move better, rest smarter, and keep intensity where it should be.

That’s why you’ll see it all over our tribe-sters programs 🙃

Not random pairings…
Intentional ones.

Upper + lower. Push + pull. Strength + stability.

For someone busy? It’s efficiency.
For someone experienced? It’s density and progression.

Same tool. Different application.

That’s the game.

Train smarter, not longer 👊

Quick look at Thursday Squad sessions...

From the outside, it probably looks like chaos 😅

Different movements. Different loads. Different conversations happening all at once.

But zoom in…

Every single person is doing the right next thing for them 🙃

Not random.
Not guesswork.

Built around their goals, their training age, their body, their constraints, their standards ✊️

This is what personalised coaching actually looks like!

Not everyone doing the same program. Everyone moving forward.
