Was supposed to be three, was only two. @manletmor

Was supposed to be three, was only two. @manletmorrison is like, what happened. Me 🤷🏻‍♀️ obviously the new bench or some other shit excuse 😆

Realistically it’s probably because I hurt myself training two weeks ago, then I fell of my mountain bike and my hands were buggered, so the lead into this 92.5 2x2 wasn’t ideal.

Sometimes acknowledging the contributing factors as to why a result is the result is hard in the moment when you just wanna say f*ck this sh*t! The reality is that powerlifting is important but its not my full time job and subsequently I do loads of things that don’t lead to a perfect training outcome. And I guess that’s just part of my process and that’s ok!

The problem with the fitness industry is it perpet

The problem with the fitness industry is it perpetuates short term solutions to long term problems. There are still too many women under eating and overtraining without understanding the long term damage they are inflicting on their physical and mental well-being.

Deadlifts have been my nemesis for what feels like

Deadlifts have been my nemesis for what feels like forever. I know that @manletmorrison feels the same about bench.

The great thing about this is you learn how to coach it really well because you’ve tried and failed at hundreds of ways to make it better. So whilst I love to teach squats because they’re my favourite lift, I’ve become really good at coaching the deadlift because I’ve spent years learning how to get the most out of mine! Failure is a great teacher ;)

Getting in “shape” or moving pain free is rare

Getting in “shape” or moving pain free is rarely a linear process.

There will always be progress, followed by set backs or the dreaded plateau.

When this happens, it’s up to you to decide to either keep pushing through or give up.

If you give up, you’ll start again in 6-12 months wishing you hadn’t stopped. If you keep going, well, you’ll probably be glad you did. #justkeepswimming @crystal_trace

HOW ANNOYING ARE INJURIES?!?

One of the most common things I hear from people in fitness communities (including ours from time to time) is a need to take time off due to injury or some nagging pain that just won’t go away.

I understand how annoying and frustrating being in pain can be, because let’s face it, I’ve had my fair share of injuries in my time.

And what I’ve learned from this is that rest isn’t usually the answer.

The answer is often in moving, but maybe not the way you’re used to.

As you progress in your fitness journey, you will learn that fitness classes are a great way to build a fitness habit, lose a few kilos, learn some basic movement patterns and tick the exercise box.

But, if the unfortunate should happen and you find yourself in pain that keeps hanging around, it’s time to upgrade your training.

Fitness classes are designed for fitness, not for specialised attention to address issues. They are a general program aimed at achieving general results. There simply isn’t enough time to create the desired outcome when it comes to fixing specific issues.

That’s where strength training comes in.

Strength training really is the star of the show when it comes to helping people address aches and pains because there’s time to get to the root cause of the issue/s.

And what we commonly find is that by assessing movement patterns and then improving the mobility and stability issues that are often causing the pain, the pain can be resolved. @manletmorrison

We didn’t really mean to, but it’s happened!!

We didn’t really mean to, but it’s happened!!

We’ve created the most lush powerlifting gym in South Australia.

Whilst we realise that a pretty place to train won’t get you strong, having a warm and welcoming environment that makes you feel good, surrounded by some of the world’s strongest lifters and access to world class coaching will.

We just kitted out our space with three @valhalla_strength_equipment combos (perfect foe those competing with the APU), four deadlift platforms, a top notch cable crossover from @thefitnesswarehouse and the speciality bars you’d expect in a strength gym.

With these additions we are opening up 10 memberships for powerlifters/aspiring powerlifters. This is not a marketing 10 memberships where we will actually take on 50 memberships. It’s literally 10 because we only want the people that are super committed to being the best athletes they can be. If you would like to know more about this, please slide into my DMs so we can chat about your goals for 2021. @manletmorrison @strengthlabpowerlifting

One of the greatest things about watching our community grow, is seeing the connections grow beyond the gym walls.

NO CLIQUES

Have you ever joined a new fitness community only to find, you’re not actually welcome?

Lots of gyms and fitness facilities talk about community, very few are able to deliver on an inclusive community during that really uncertain time between starting and nailing your first push up or block run!

We’d like to think we have nailed it, but perhaps you should decide.

We’re offering all new clients to our bootcamp program the rest of January on us. No catch, no silly sales pitch. Just an opportunity to see if we dig each other!

All you have to do is make the first move and slide into our DMs 😉
