Another amazing assault course. What can I say? Thank you to everyone who came, it was a load of fun.

This is what I love. I’ve got a great group of friends I’ve met at the gym, and a great group from my bootcamp who’ve become friends too. When I bring those two together, brilliant things happen.

I didn’t get to jump in today, but seeing it all come together was quality. Good people mixing with good people always leads to a great time.

Big shoutout to Scott for being top class as always, letting us use the space and guiding everyone through it.

Can’t wait for the next one.

Only two turned up tonight, thought the rain was gonna ruin it, but it held off just long enough.

40 minutes of proper work, legs were burning, everything was working, and it turned into a seriously solid session.

Ladies, massive respect to both of you, you showed up, put the work in, and didn’t hold back. That’s what it’s all about

SCIATICA vs TRAPPED NERVE ⬇️

Recently I’ve been reminded how brutal nerve pain can be.

Tuesday, awful
Wednesday, awful
Thursday, still awful
Friday, easing
Saturday, better, but still there

At first I wasn’t sure if it was sciatica or a trapped nerve.

They’re related, but not the same.

Sciatica involves the sciatic nerve and usually travels, lower back into glute and down the leg.

It literally felt like a hot poker down the left side of my body, from lower back, through my glute, into my hamstring.

I’ve had L4/L5 disc bulges and irritation, so these symptoms are very real and very relevant to that area.

Trapped nerves tend to be more localised, sharp pain, tightness, sometimes less travel.

Causes can include,
poor lifting, tight hips, weak core, too much sitting, overload, disc irritation.

What helped me,
Weighted dead hangs, 100kg pulling me down while hanging to decompress the spine

But finding a way to make it manageable was tricky.

Also helped,
walking, light mobility, glute activation, heat, controlled stretching

Avoid early on,
heavy loading, aggressive stretching, sitting too long, pushing through pain

Real talk,
nerve pain moves, shifts, and feels unpredictable, mine even travelled across slightly

Lesson,
sometimes it’s not about smashing a session, it’s about creating space and letting your body recover

If you’ve had it, you’ll get it.
If you’re in it now, move smart

Thanks for reading!

Top work, Nick. The power you’re putting into those throws, you can literally feel the ground shake. Love that intensity. Awesome session, mate.

Work hard, play hard 💪🔥

Another strong session from the ladies, turning up, putting the work in, and pushing through every bit of it. No shortcuts, no excuses, just proper effort from start to finish.

That’s how results are built. Proud of you all, well done

6 a.m. and Clive’s out again.

Really nice workout this morning , a lot of hard work and a lot of pushing. I know you had to catch your breath a few times because it was tough, but that’s exactly where the progress happens.

Well done, mate. You smashed it.

What’s your biggest gym ick? 👀

There are loads of them out there. Some are definitely fair and come down to basic gym etiquette… but others might just be personal preferences.

I’m curious to hear what yours are.
