Posted originally on twitter for those curious about the type of conditioning model I use for MMA/BJJ. just one of many ways we can sequence. Very dependant on sport training volume and athlete needs/ability. Highly inspired by @rugby_strength_coach and Joel Jamieson. Looking to run a similar model for combat athletes at the new facility. If […]

Occasionally my job as a strength/physical prep coach will throw up some fantastic curve balls. Those of you who read my blog regularly will know my main body of work is with pro combat athletes and golfers. So when Bewiser and now Ducati rider Danny Buchan expressed interest in working with me at start of last winter, I was […]
Do the basics and do them well! The fitness industry with it endless certs, courses and CPD seeks to create a state of unease a unrealistic need for ‘newness’ at all costs. That some how you are behind the curve, a lack of currentness can seem terrifying especially in this ever present social media world. […]
This year has been bigger than the last, I am truly happy that I have established a reputation for good S&C in Chelmsford Essex. Working not just my normal quarry of MMA and Combat athletes, but also pro-golfers, footballers and even a downhill skier. Powering Through is nothing without the athletes that choose to train […]
Pervasive thinking in fitness has damaged the reputation of partial squats, I have heard strength coaches, athletes and personal trainers screech about “ass to grass” verbatim. The depth conversation has been done to death and not what I’m getting at here. This is about not throwing the baby out with the bath water and making […]
At the moment across social media Im seeing a lot of posts about Ido Portal, primal movement, holistic movement and the idea that these are somehow superior to conventional strength conditioning. I thought I would share my thoughts on what I’m seeing. The concept of holisms in movement attracts fitness yuppies with money to burn […]
So last week I peaked “Death Ground” Squat finishing with 210kg chain back squat, below is the result. This was rep 7 of 10. If you read about the method here http://www.powering-through.com/2014/02/death-ground-squats.html you’ll know its not for the faint hearted. After doing 6 weeks of triphasic lifting followed by 4 weeks of potentiation work 80-55% […]
There are great coaches out there more than we could probably count, many fly below the radar, due to lack of social media presence or just the fact they don’t care or don’t want to market themselves. Many because they aren’t part of American coaching/writing circle that currently dominates the internet/social media and gives the […]
In this two parter I go over my thoughts on getting conditioned for grappling competitions. Instead of getting bogged down in exercises and physiology. I decided to address what I saw, as common errors, using technique under fatigue (part 1) and planning, periodisation, setting up a “in-season” for your self. Be sure to Check them […]
