The warm-up is something I see a lot of people (especially other PTs and strength and conditioning coaches) over complicating. Doing silly looking random exercises with bands and broomsticks. Keep it simple, stupid. You only need to follow the R.A.M.P protocol to prepare your body in a safe and efficient way.

Here is my warm-up for some currently heavy (3 x 6pl x 65kg) lunges in Video 1. I'm in the mid stages of rehabbing a right groin tendinitis for context.

Raise. Video 2.
Gently raise your heart rate, core and muscle temp. Here, I'm doing 5 minutes on my exercise bike, gently warming my legs, increasing power each minute.

Activate. Video 3.
I'm using a band to activate glutes, adductors and hip flexors in a time efficient manner. 1 set, that's all.

Mobilise. Videos 4 and 5.
I'm using bodyweight and supported bodyweight exercises to actively take me through full ranges of motion that I'll be requiring for the main lift. 1 set on each again.

Potentiate. Videos 6 and 7.
The best warm-up is to do what you're going to do. I'm doing sets of progressive weights, 1 × 25kg and 1 x 45kg so my muscles and nervous system are progressively primed for what I'm going to be doing.

This took me around 10 minutes to do before my 1st working set. You don't need to be doing 45 minutes of stretching, foam rolling etc etc. If you have hours to train then fantastic, that will all help but if like me your time is pressed then follow the R.A.M.P protocol in an efficient manner and your training sessions needn't take 2 hours to get through 👍🏻

Here's some training clips for the my friend and I entered in Jan. I needed something specific to train for and to gain some motivation (the new gym helped a lot too). I'd never done any sort of fitness comp and this seemed to be the best mix of strength and endurance, so we gave it a crack!

1). As part of the comp, we had to do a 5 rep max back squat. A hack if you're pushing your upper limits weight wise is to overload the bar and just hold it for 20-30s. This primes the nervous system for lifting a heavier weight so that when you perform your working sets, it feels easier. I loaded to 150kg and then did 3 x 5 .

2). A rogue groin ni**le I picked up from surfing meant squats became uncomfortable so I switched out for trapbar deadlifts. I'd not done these for a while so was happy with what I managed. Due to the timing of the ni**le, I had to limit my squats in training and compete with it, so I stuck with the highest weight I'd hit in training in December. I could've pushed past it but it wasn't worth it. 120kg was my goal when we booked on and I achieved that weight, so I can't be too mad.

3). I tried to replicate the metcon with what equipment I had. This was my first attempt at it and it sucked 😂. 25cal ski erg, 15 "box" jumps, 20 dumbbell thrusters, 20 burpees and 10 ground to shoulder with a 40kg sandbag.

4). 10 rep max strict military press was the second part of the strength part. Working up towards those 10.

5). Me at the final seconds of the metcon not on planet earth 😂.

6). The relief of being finished 🏋🏻‍♂️🥳

We finished 4th in our age category, so for first timers, we were pretty pleased with that.

The gym is getting dialled in 👌🏻 recieved a new concept 2 bike erg and some far sturdier squat stands today. Got a big delivery with some new toys/torture devices (dependent on your P.O.V) coming soon which will require another rejig but it's looking good!

This is a minefield area. As I'm not a registered nutritionist or dietician I will not being giving (charging £ for) personalised meal plans and nor should any other PT unless they have the relevant qualifications and insurance.

However, I can provide guidance and give you a clear idea on what not to eat! With all of my face to face clients and bespoke programs I will provide strategies to help you limit bad nutritional choices and what has worked for me and my clients over the years. Go to the link in my bio to find out how I can help you make the most of your training.

Rest is part of the program. The most underrated and overlooked part of training is how you recover from it.

Go to the link in my bio to find out how I can optimize your training to ensure that you are getting enough rest to make the most of of your training without effecting your daily life.

Progression is where many gym goers fall short. Many start out and receive a basic program from a gym instructor when they join or see a workout on YouTube and follow that without changing a thing.

Someone once told me in the gym they'd been doing the same exercises, reps and weights for 3 years! I look to either change a person's routine or at least swap out exercises for more progressive ones every 4-8 weeks, 8 as a max. Within those 4-8 weeks every workout will have the majority of the exercises in their routine progressed in one way or another provided successful ex*****on of those exercises is present.

If you're struggling to progress your training programs then go to the link in my bio to find out how I can help you follow a more structured and effective training program so that you don't waste your time in the gym.

To get what you've never had you must do what you've never done. Fairly simple concept. If you put in the extra work you will get the extra results.

That doesn't mean you need to be obliterated at the end of each session as you will still need to function for the rest of your daily life, that's where the art of good program design comes in.

Occasionally things may need to be adapted but as long as there is intensity there will be results. If you struggle to train at a high intensity it may be that your program just needs a little tweak here and there to optimize your efforts. Go to the link in my bio for more information on how I can help you keep the intensity in your workouts.
