TRAINING FOCUS

‍

CF60: In October, we focus on building strength through higher-volume sets in the 3-5 rep range for weightlifting movements. Expect complex-based Olympic lifting in CF60 classes to refine technique and develop power in various positions. This month, we will continue to target key lifts like the back squat, bench press, and deadlift, ensuring you're building a solid foundation of strength. With a mix of bodyweight strength, gymnastics skill sessions, and varied conditioning, you'll be fully prepared to tackle anything life throws your way.

OLY75: We're continuing our focus on technique, which we started halfway into September after the Charity Lift. We'll be building a solid base of strength and technique before we go heavier in the upcoming months!

STR60: October will see a big focus on our event in November - Strength Fest. We won't reveal the events yet, but rest assured that the October classes will prepare you for it properly. Not joining Strength Fest? We got you, we're still going to make sure you get strong in many different types of exercises!

Supplements: On creatine, protein and pre-workout.

Workout supplements are a multi-billion dollar industry worldwide. Pills, powders and even meal replacements with wild claims about fat loss, building muscle, having more energy throughout the day and much more. They vary from pre-workout supplements that supposedly give you more energy during a workout, to protein supplements to build more muscle. Some supplements are supposed to keep you healthy while others like creatine and caffeine can help with sports performance! Or can they?

How to combine sleep deprivation and training as a new parent

I encounter all sorts of people when coaching. They often have their career, relationship, hobbies and much more that need their attention, but once they have a child, they are faced with an extra challenge: The sleep deprivation of new parents. We all know that sports can be great for health, but how do you set up a postnatal fitness plan for yourself? Do you need a special ‘mommy fit’ program or can you train as normal? Do we need a young dad support group for those having trouble with not getting their regular, uninterrupted 8 hours of sleep?
