4 Movements Guaranteed To Turn You Into A Beast

Do you want to improve at your sport? Do you want to throw your opponents around with ease? If so you need to complete workouts that challenge your entire body with heavy weights and use equipment that won’t let you lift it without a fight. With the level of competition these days, you need to bring something extra to the table. That something is the ability to move heavy AND awkward objects around, with ease.

All strongman tools are great for improving this ability; tyres, farmers walk, sandbags, heavy hammers and sleds should all be a BIG part of your current training, as well as heavy strength training with the basics; squats, bench, deadlifts and pull-ups. Check out the video below……

When you workout with these tools you develop PHENOMENAL mental toughness and RUGGED strength to move resistance at all possible angles with every fibre in your body. When you face your opponent and you know that the workouts you regularly complete would break them in seconds it gives you one of the most powerful tools on your way to becoming a beast. SELF CONFIDENCE.

Apply this to your training today. No excuses.

Eating For Winners – Part One: Pre-Competition

Here is something you’ll undoubtedly hear all the time……."If you aren’t eating correctly, there’s no point in training!” Now whilst I’m not quite inclined to agree with this it does carry some merit, especially if we look at the benefits of correct nutrition, PRE, DURING and POST exercise. The benefits of eating in the right ways include: 1) Greater fat loss 3) Greater mental clarity 4) Greater physical performance 2) Greater rate of recovery (Think muscle growth!) WHY YOU NEED TO EAT BEFORE COMPETING For athletes competing in the mornings, the PRE-COMPETITION meal takes on a greater significance. The overnight fast whilst asleep has depleted a lot of your stored carbs. You gotta break the FAST, refuel the body with CARBS and RE-HYDRATE the body. It takes 3-4 hours to digest, absorb and most importantly, STORE energy in your muscles. Stick to eating carbs and lean protein BECAUSE: 1) Carbs digest and absorb into the body faster than anything else 2) ...

The Future of Sport? Don’t get left behind.

As I see it, strength and conditioning coaching for amateur sports clubs is an afterthought. Skills training and sport specific drills are always going to be, and should be, the priority. But there’s more to a team than just being good at the skills, you need to be physically fit for your environment, FOR YOUR SPORT, and there’s a whole host of other disciplines that sports coaches should be looking at, not necessarily to hire a team of professional nutritionists, physios, strength coaches etc. But you must review your sports club, see what you can outsource either partially (buy a book/dvd, learn it and implement it) or fully (hire someone else to come in on an hourly rate, rather than a full time salary). Just because your club is amateur doesn’t mean you should treat your athletes as such…..every pro athlete starts out as an amateur and I’m sick of hearing people blame pro athletes in the UK as being unfit to compete on a global stage, as we really should be focusing on improvin...

Top Ten Tips for In-Season Rugby Players – Part 1

You should be in shape right now! After a good 3 month off-season of sprinting, lifting, growing, eating and skills training, you should be the strongest you’ve ever been! The problem is, most players forget that you must MAINTAIN your off season gains during the playing season. Just playing rugby games on the weekends (or 2-3 times a week for the younger guys!) is not going to maintain your strength OR muscle size. You WILL, without question, get smaller and weaker during the season if you don’t MAINTAIN your strength! This is due to 2 things: 1. Endurance or Long Duration exercise makes you weaker (and skinny!) The human body is incredibly adaptable, and will transform itself to perform as well as it can in any situation that you CONSTANTLY throw at it. So whatever you do the most of, your body will adapt to. If the majority of your exercising hours each week are spent running and playing rugby, you will adapt to become better suited to endurance exercise. Your fast...
