ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING The only thing that really works is effort. Your intentions and mindset will always be the difference. We’ve seen people continue to get fitter & stronger using a 10kg kettlebell and we’ve seen people get no where using a 100kg barbell. The only piece of equipment that ever really makes a difference is the one between your ears. Apply that appropriately and the possibilities are endless. #MomentumPT #Momentum #BeUnstoppable #PortMelbourne #Melbourne 📷 @jamesandersonphotography
Knowing your numbers plays an important part in planning and progressing your long term training. Don’t just test for the sake of testing, use that data to help set the appropriate workloads and intensities to aid in continual improvement // Row/Ski x 500m @ 3-5 sec Faster than 2k pace Rest x 2 mins x 4 Aim to negative split each round. Then: Row/Ski x 1000m @ 2k pace #MomentumPT #Momentum #BeUnstoppable #Melbourne #PortMelbourne
Alone we can do so little, together we can achieve so much. Check out some of the fun from our @movember fundraiser this week // Teams of 6 3200m Ski Relay(5 x Push Up + 6 x Lunges every change) 320 Goblet Squats 320 Ball Slams 320 KB Headcutters 320 Burpees 3200m Ski Relay (3 team members working at a time to complete squats, slams, headcutters & burpees. Must complete all reps before moving onto the next exercise) 🎥 @jamesandersonphotography #MomentumPT #Momentum #BeUnstoppable #Melbourne
Member of the Month - @mrcumin doing what he does best 👆🏻 Since joining us in April John has been a very welcome addition to the Momentum family. Fitting right in with a solid work ethic and an almost twisted enjoyment of burpees this smooth mover is generally the ring leader in sneakily adding in some ‘extras’ at the end of a session and is always there to help build up those around him. Thanks John enjoy your goodies from @lululemonausnz @coeandcoeau @cbco_ @acaibrothers_portmelbourne #MomentumPT #Momentum #BeUnstoppable #PortMelbourne #Melbourne
Great to have a solid crew in for a solid hit out. Teams of 6 Ski x 3200m (+5x push up & 3 x lunge each change) Goblet Squat x 320 Ball slam x 320 KB Headcutter x 320 Burpee x 320 Ski x 3200m Fastest time 46:55 A massive thanks to all the champions who came out this morning to join in for our @movember fundraiser session and helped to raise over $250 for a great cause. Mental illness is something that can affect us all in one way or another at times so it is a cause we are always willing to get behind. 🧡🧡🧡 #MomentumPT #Momentum #BeUnstoppable #Movember

#Repost @ntieppo ・・・ 2k-A-Day: Day 1 - 2000m Row This Movember I dont want your donations, I just want you to move. Movember is back again supporting men’s health and mental wellness raising funds awareness and helping to break the stigma on mental health amongst men, an issues that has affected far to many people I close to me. It has been repeatedly shown that exercise can be a great method for helping to deal with stress, anxiety and depression. I know that personally in times of high stress and anxiety although it can be the last thing I want to do. Exercise helps to clear my mind and refocus my thoughts and direction. So this year rather than just grow a Mo, I will also be getting involved with the @movember Move campaign. The target is to complete 60km of movement through out the course of the month. (That 60 represents the number of men lost every hour to men’s health issues.) The distance will be accumulated in different ways everyday, so if you or someone you know needs help get of the couch, get moving, manage stress or find an outlet follow along and join in. My steed of choice will be a @concept2inc rower but feel free to run, walk, ski, x-trainer or bike (increase to 5km a day). Just get moving. Look forward to having along for the ride. #movember #move #2kaday #rowvember #row #concept2
Greater lower body strength (ability to move upwards of 2 x BW) increased speed and repeated sprint ability, associated with a greater tolerance to higher workloads and a lower risk of injury for team sport athletes. #Repost @athletesauthority @doc_haff ・・・ You’ve probably thought at least once, that the pay off from strength training for your sport isn’t worth it. - We don’t blame you; when you can spend more time on track or on field working on skills, it might be hard to justify spending hours in the gym. - But this graph, even though it’s science, paints a crystal clear picture. - The stronger you get, the less you get injured. - The vertical axis represents injury risk, and the horizontal axis represents relative strength/bw for a trap-bar deadlift. - As you can see, as your strength goes down (relative to bw), your injury risk gets higher. - Problematic for a few reasons: - 1️⃣ When you’re injured you’re not playing what you love 2️⃣ When you’re injured you’re not getting stronger 3️⃣ When you’re injured you’re not improving your skill. - Takeaway? 🤔 Stop thinking you’re an exception and get strong. If you’re susceptible to injury in your sport (Dart throwers you’re exempt), get strong. #athlete #strength #performance #injury #Repost @doc_haff ・・・ Really nice paper presenting how increasing lower body strength reduced injury risk. Who would have thunk it? While this study used a trapbar deadlift we can extend the results to a squat. Seems like >2xBM really reduces injury risk - something Prof Stone and I have been saying for something like the last 20 years - great to see someone produce data to support this hypothesis
