Grit provides bespoke programs to assist our clients in achieving their fitness goals. Personal Training
No two people have the same lifestyle, goals or metabolism, so to me it is very important to treat every client and their needs completely individually. Some want to improve their ability to compete in a given sport. Others simply want to be healthier in order to enjoy a longer more fulfilling

life. Whatever your reasons for choosing a personal trainer, Grit will design a regime just for you. Together we will mould and shape your physique and by employing regular health and fitness tests, monitor your progress to keep you focused and motivated. We can and will make you fitter, stronger and healthier. Entramaniento Personal
No hay dos personas que tengan el mismo estilo de vida, objetivos o metabolismo, así que para mí es muy importante tratar a cada cliente y sus necesidades por completo de forma individual. Algunos quieren ganar músculo o perder grasa. Algunos quieren mejorar su capacidad de competir en un deporte determinado. Otros simplemente quieren estar más sanos para disfrutar de una vida más larga y satisfactoria. Sean cuales sean sus razones para elegir un entrenador personal, voy a diseñar un régimen justo para usted. Juntos vamos a moldear y dar forma a su físico mediante el empleo regular de hábitos saludables y pruebas de aptitud física, supervisando su progreso para mantenerse motivado y centrado en su objetivo. Yo puedo hacer que se sienta más en forma, fuerte y sano o sana. Circuit Training
For all those who are unsure or are not yet ready to make the commitment that a personal fitness program requires, we have weekly circuit training classes in Maó and the surrounding area. Circuit training is a form of conditioning, combining resistance training and high-intensity aerobics and is suitable for all levels of fitness. It is an excellent way to improve over all mobility, strength and stamina while increasing general cardiovascular health and fitness, and my classes are small, meaning that you can enjoy some of the one to one coaching that personal training clients receive. Circuito de Entramaniento
Para todos aquellos que no están seguros o no están dispuestos a adquirir el compromiso que requiere un programa de entrenamiento personal, tengo clases semanales de entrenamiento de circuito en Maó y sus alrededores. El entrenamiento de circuito es una forma de condicionamiento, que combina entrenamiento de resistencia y aeróbico de alta intensidad y es adecuado para todos los niveles de fitness. Es una excelente manera de mejorar sobre todo la movilidad, fuerza y resistencia, mientras se consigue una mejora general de la salud cardiovascular y fitness. Mis clases son pequeñas, por lo que usted puede disfrutar de algunas de las ventajas del entrenamiento individualizado que reciben los clientes de entrenamiento personal. Nutritional Advice

Throwback to this year’s 120kg PR. By no means an all time PR, but certainly the most I’ve squatted since my lumbar spine rehab.

Deadlift day at Asgard!

hit 90kg for one set of five, after three sets of heavy squats and presses. I hit 120kg for five, in the same workout. Mimi is PRing pretty much every workout and I’ll soon be pushing my 167.5kg PR (203% bodyweight)

I was flicking through some old photos and found this, taken of me squatting a relatively modest 95kg for five sets of five, in 2015, and it made me think of a video which I saw posted on instagram, today. The person in question had around 150kg on the bar, which they squated for one rep. Their hip came nowhere near passing below their knee and their form was sh*tty at best, but they were happy because they’d got a “heavy” squat to post on instagram.

This is crazy for so may reasons:
First of all, and most importantly to me, why would anyone think that squatting 150kg badly is better than squatting 100kg well? In my mind, and in many powerlifting competition rules, the hip has to come to a halt below the knee in order for the rep to count. So if you can’t do this, I’m sorry but “No rep!”
Secondly, there is a reason that we squat “ass to the grass” and that is that, because of the biomechanics involved, it improves both mobility and stability in all three joints involved (ankle, knee and hip), increases both activation and hypertrophy of the quads and the glutes in particular, while stretching and strengthening the hamstrings. It also improves spinal erector strength and stability, while generally working the core musculature harder.
Finally if you want a good instagram photo or video, doing it right just looks better.
So, for all of these reasons, for heaven’s sake, take some weight off the bar and do it properly. You’re mates may not be quite as impressed, but those who know about these things will be.

*On a parting note, if you can’t get your hip below your knee with a flat back (ie. no butt wink), don’t do it. Work on your hamstrings first. Mobility should always come before strength. If you build strength on sh*tty mobility, you are asking for and will get injury.

Peace!

Horseriding Stance - 5 x 1 minute (each side) - one minute rest between sets.

A recently published study has found that exercise not only maintains muscle mass and strength as we age but also mental agility, and very importantly our immune systems (specifically T-cell levels). Not that I have been saying this for years!

The study found that a group of cyclists aged 80 and over had the same T-cell levels as individuals in their 20s. Amazing!!!

Day 2 after three weeks off weight training. 80%1rm, keeping it relatively light, to avoid unnecessary DOMS. Still a little store from day one’s squats, but hear we are. That’s the problem with time off. . Squat - 5x3@100 Overhead Press - 5x3@50 Deadlift - 5x1@110 Inverted Row (Australian pull-up) 10x3 . ...and the moral of the story is don’t let tendinitis get out of control, and you won’t have to take an inordinate amount of time off training! 🙄 .
