Hi Team,

In this video I breakdown reading a program, specifically the 4 week home program, the goal is to ensure that you know the in’s and out’s of reading a program.

I appreciate that for a lot of people reading programs may be something totally new and with out your coach or trainer near by to answer any questions it can feel like learning a new language. This quick video will hopefully help in bridging that gap.

TEMPO

Reading tempo can be like reading a different language if you are new to the concept.

Here’s a video and explanation of how to read tempo >

EXERCISES

I have no idea what that exercise is? No problems if you don’t know what an exercise is then simply click on it! Each exercise has a link to a video showing you how to perform the exercise and tips on how to perform it so you can mitigate the risk of injury. The exercise library is a work in progress – if you didn’t get what needed then a quick search on Google or YouTube will likely assist.

WARM-UP

Always warm up first! Each daily plan includes 3 key movements that prepare you for the workout. Repeat the exercises at least 3 times before moving on to the strength portion of the workout.

TWO EXERCISES WITH THE SAME NUMBER

Example: A1 & A2

These exercises are superset and a set of each is to be completed one after the other before resting

REST

Allocated time to allow for appropriate recovery to ensure the primary goal of that exercise is met.

METCON

Metcon is an abbreviated version of the term metabolic conditioning. The term describes short bouts of higher-intensity training designed to increase metabolic demand and increase energy usage. In the program these are set up in a HIIT (high-intensity interval training) format, or circuit training format and should be completed as such.

Keep Strong!!

Sleep, Fuel & The Long Game of Recovery

If you’re reading this, you’re likely somewhere along the road to recovery — whether post-surgery, rehabbing an injury, or just trying to get back to moving the way you want.

And while strength work, mobility, and consistency in the gym are huge pieces of the puzzle… what you do outside the gym often makes the biggest difference.

I wanted to provide some simple strategies that can support healing, tissue health, and overall performance. You won’t need to overhaul your entire life just pick a few small habits and start building from there.

“Houston, We Have a Quad Problem”: Tackling AMI After ACL Surgery

If your quad’s been MIA since your ACL surgery, you’re not alone—and no, it’s not just “weakness.” It’s a neurological shutdown called AMI (arthrogenic muscle inhibition), and it can stall recovery, throw off your movement patterns, and make simple tasks feel like uphill battles. In this blog, we break down what AMI is, why it happens, how it’s graded, and—most importantly—how we can get that quad back online. Whether you’re a clinician or someone navigating rehab, this one’s worth a read.
