NO DAYS OFF Supplements

I woke up this morning in a good mood because #coach_kyle said I'm allowed to train today. I started work at 5.30am, trained a few clients, went back home... had a recovery nap, trained a few more clients...12 noon was training time! Kyle hooked me up with a killer isolation training program, it looked brutal on paper & it lived up to its expectation & was brutal in reality.  The whole session took 1.5 hours & my only rest was 30 seconds between sets. So it was high intensity isolation weight lifting... love it! I did approximately 217897325 reps adjusting the weight constantly (lots of drop sets) on the leg extension & leg curl. Kick backs, dumbbell shoulder press, face pulls, lat pull downs, 45 degree lat pulldowns, incline dumbbell fly's were also part of the program. My body is pumped! My muscles are filled out again (I didn't lose my gains!), I feel lactic like I just did a massive endurance CrossFit workout, my quads & shoulders are back, ...

For the past year, I've been training anywhere from 2.5 hours - 4 hours 6 days a week in the CrossFit Comp group at Moorabbin. It has become my whole world really. I've ditched the weekend drinks, I've ditched late nights & processed foods (unless it's cheat day ;) ) & I've prioritised my training before ANYTHING.  I can 100% call myself a very disciplined person. There's a small group of us at Moorabbin who have put our lives on hold to give everything we have to becoming the BEST team we can possibly be to make it to Regionals this coming May.  Every February, the CrossFit Open starts. It runs for 5 weeks & every Friday a new workout gets announced - so it's all very secret until then. You can't plan or prepare for it... you just hope your coach has programmed your training right for the past year so that you can complete all the movements and get through the workout. Once you complete the workout (it needs to be judged by an officia...

Here's a TIP for the gym junkies Never over emphasize the negative phase of your reps like dumb arse Uni Student Know it all book worms will tell you to do. Bodybuilding is a marathon If you want to be around whilst all the others are falling around you then feel the muscle feel the connection and find a nice tempo that allows for the PUMP and continued growth Perfect Example of over Emphasizing Negative phase was my all time Fave The Shadow. Muscle Hypertrophy happens under load and volume Negative phase should be controlled but not extreme That is all

After Team NDO saw the 2016 FIBO Fair in Germany, I dropped Brigidene off at Frankfurt Airport and met my friend, Jason Martin who arrived to be the NDO Camera man/Assistant for the week. We decided hiring a car was the better option to get ourselves north to Forde, Norway to see NDO athlete Jürgen Spieß compete in the 2016 European Championships. The company had been involved in Jürgen's progress for just over a year and he is very much a company favorite or certainly becoming one. I had spent time with him previous and we have always had fun and got along very well. This is partly why I wanted to be there to support him in his efforts as this was not just a usual EU champs for him, as he needed to lift a 385kg total to qualify for Rio 2016, his third Olympics. We were lucky enough to catch him the day before, he was nervous, but feeling good. He seemed ready. On the day, he Snatched well and going in to the Clean & Jerk he needed 213kg more to make the 385kg requ...

Velagic tastes Gold in RIO 2016 Every four years, a few months prior to the greatest sporting event known to man, The Olympic Games, it is not widely known exactly how equipment, arena's, surface's are tested in some of the sports being competed there. In 2016 the Games are to be held in Rio Di Janeiro, Brazil, and after much scrutiny from media about the readiness of stadiums in recent times, the eyes of the world and relevant organisations and federations alike would be transfixed on the South American tourist hub to get a sneak preview of what awaits as the Road to Rio takes a penultimate turn and heads for the finish line. There is no better way to test out the Olympic Weightlifting arena than to have a competition. Not all countries send an athlete to this preview comp but it certainly is equally as beneficial for the athlete as it for the organisers, as this gives the athlete a chance to acclimatise to different conditions. This certainly was the case w...
