Push (24.09.21)

By Uncategorized , , , 0 Comments

This morning’s push session included some of the following:

  • Deficit press-ups (3×12 reps)
    • Hands raised on plates, so chest can drop further into a stretch
    • I like to open up and stretch chest before heavy loading
Deficit press-ups
  • High incline smith press (1×8):
    • Trying to get bar all the way to chest every rep, for a full stretch across top line (upper chest/front delt)
Smith shoulder
  • Band assisted dips:
    • Use the black band, looped around dip handles, to reduce some of the load at the bottom full stretch, where I am weakest after elbow injury
Banded dips
  • These exercises were preceded by some rotator cuff + tricep physio work
  • And ended with some isometric chest stretches, dead hang from bar
  • Calves and abs last

I have worked with a range of client populations in the past. I have helped competitive athletes improve their performance through training and weight loss methods. I have experience with adult populations, drastically improving strength in individuals who are 50+. As well as specialising in manageable training methods for women looking to improve their body shape and reach a variety of manageable fitness goals. Having lived a competitive sporting career myself, I have undergone 7 invasive surgeries, some due to injury. As a result, I have a wealth of information on how to cope with, recover from, and help prevent injuries, restoring the body to a pain free state, and enabling fitness progress to continue no matter the personal issue. I can be of great service providing knowledge and guidance to keep you moving forwards through your fitness journey.
