Corona strikes and suddenly we are bombarded with shite home training routines and endless HiiT workouts.
Why does home training mean we forget the principles of training?
Should home training just mean bouncing around your living room like a wally?
How about training with good form?
Just take a typical example of some home training where they want you to do a minute of press ups.
How many people can do 20-30 full depth press ups with perfect form? Honestly. And then repeat it on the next round? Not many is my bet. This means you do 10-15 good reps and then a load of dangerous shitty reps that move you FURTHER from your goals. It’s just a load of nonsense. 💪🏼The alternative...... 💪🏼 The other clips are taken from my programming for some of my clients. Strength. Power. Proper form. Instruction. Set and Reps working towards goals.
You know. Actual effective training from a professional coach! 🤷🏾‍♂️
If you actually want to improve on lockdown then don’t rely on free Facebook sessions without context. Hit the link in my bio and get on my Fitness Lock Down programme for the cost of a couple of coffees. Join our worldwide community and get started today. You won’t regret it.

The situation has changed, and so should your training.
Give me the time you spent commuting and the money for a few coffees and I will get you fitter and stronger at home and without kit.
We will take a well proven approach of training little and often to keep you moving, keep you engaged and keep you progressing in your strength and fitness.
This is not bike specific. It is human specific so you can come through lock down fit, strong and healthy. Of course it will still benefit your riding when we finally escape.
Train on your own, or with family and house mates.

More home training knowledge. This time it is all about 1 piece of kit. The resistance band.
For very little cash, a couple of bands let you add resistance to a wide range of exercises do you can keep on training at home, in the garden or park.

I’ve been a bit quiet on here recently. This is why.
Everyone, meet Rex.
Hoping to take him home soon.

For strength, in general, add load not reps.
This is especially true on bodyweight exercises like the horizontal rows I’m doing here, but also for press ups.
Once you can do a solid 15-20+ reps then by adding more reps we mostly just get better at doing rows or press ups and don’t really get stronger.
This is where exercise progressions come in. Let’s take the row example and work through progressions with the goal of improving upper body pulling strength.
1. Bent knees.
2. Strict reps with straight legs.
3. Feet elevated on box or bench.
4. Feet elevated + external load. In this case 20kg power bag.
Each step adds load by manipulating body positions and how much weight is through the arms.

Trap Bar Jumps are one of my preferred methods of delivering power training (rather than Oly Lifts for instance)
A few notes. ✅ The 2 athletes featured here have done the work beforehand that makes this exercise appropriate and safe for them. ✅ They are strong and technically proficient in the trap bar deadlift with double bodyweight lifts. ✅ They are both able to box jump with good form. ✅ They both did an extensive warm up before this exercise. ✅ Every Rep is performed with maximum focus and intensity. ✅ They completed 3x5 reps with 4-5 minutes between sets. ✅ The goal is not to feel the burn or to beast yourself. The goal is to put maximum force into the floor so you move vertically as fast as possible.
Thanks to @mtb_bish and @whytelife for a great session today and for putting 💯 % into their training.

How do you know if your training is working?
What variables can we track and test over time to show that we are improving on the bike?
In the latest episode of #fastat40 over on my YouTube I run you through a sub max ramp test on the Wattbike and then explain how to measure your progress if you don’t have access to power measurements.

Should you use lifting straps?
As always the answer is, “It depends.”
Constantly relying on them and never working your grip strength is bad news but there are times that they are a really useful training tool: 👊🏼 Female athletes will often have way stronger lower bodies than upper bodies. Straps will allow exercises like heavy RDL’s or DB Lunges to be performed. 👊🏼 Heavy deadlifts beyond your grip strength. I would choose straps over a mixed grip due to the risk of bicep injury in the open arm. 👊🏼 To reduce training fatigue in the forearms in the run up to an event or race for MTB or Motocross. 👊🏼 They may allow you to continue training with a forearm or hand injury. Do you use straps? If so, when and why? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
