Apocalypse Training Systems

Do you make recovery a part of your training? For some of us, a good night’s sleep and decent food is usually enough to be ready for your next training session. For those with high stress jobs or competitive athletes who train most days, sometimes twice a day, there needs to be something in place. If your, or your coach’s, answer to feeling unusually tired and lethargic is “just train harder” then your progress will be slow at best. Grinding yourself into the ground for tr...aining purposes is dumb (sorry Rocky). 1. Keep your training progressive 2. Plan all your training around how it will help you towards your goal. 3. Fully recover so you can maintain points 1 & 2. - #TeamApoc #BECrehab #CPPS #Physical #Preparation #Strength #Conditioning #Training #Performance #Recovery

Full range of movement is 🔑 for hypertrophy. Working to the end ranges of movement, feeling the stretch at the bottom of a press and producing a squeeze at the top is tough. It may need an ego check to use a weight that you can control and it will definitely need discipline to perform this full range for every rep of the set, not just the first few. - #TeamApoc #BECrehab #Press #ROM #strength #Hypertrophy #training #performance #CPPS

After 8 weeks of developmental work, the Savages have now moved into developing speed and power. I have kids who play rugby, lacrosse, football and who ride horses. All have different goals, have different needs and follow different seasons of competition. This is why auto-regulation is important during training. When speed is the goal, performance levels must be monitored. Rest between sets must be long enough to allow full recovery. ... You can’t develop speed in a fatigued state.....that’s why I can never understand sprint ‘gassers’, such as high rep shuttles, pre-season. The guys currently in season (rugby players) are in a maintenance phase and perform lower volumes than the guys who are in off season (footballers and lacrosse players). This is so they maintain the strength they’ve built during their off season, whilst keeping fresh for games. Different athletes have different needs. But, it doesn’t mean they can’t train together. Proud of my guys 👊 #TeamApoc #BECrehab #Strength #Training #CPPS #Future #Athletes #StrongKids

Happy for my man B.E.C Rehab getting well deserved reviews like this. 👊

When learning a new skill/exercise, a coach needs to pay attention to detail, possible reasons for any changes in such detail, and how to adapt the training programme to progress. Here, @karl.conway.79 is learning the deadlift. What I see 👀 The slight knee dip before the concentric portion of the lift (contracting glutes, hams and quads to stand up). Why the knee dip?
... This could be a couple of reasons:
1. He’s stronger in the eccentric portion of the lift (lengthening of the hamstrings) so by using a knee dip, it will recruit more quad to assist the concentric portion.
2. Technique. Because it’s a new skill, the movement pattern may just need ironing out.
Solution? Just do more reps with more frequency. The load he’s using isn’t too heavy, he’s bracing fine, spine is in a neutral range and he’s not getting unwanted aches or pains afterwards. - More practice leads to better technique, better motor control and a better understanding of how to move through resistance. - Training age (how long you’ve trained in a particular sport/exercise method) should be one of the first things taken into account with any client/athlete, and a common error I see through social media is people who just start out in resistance training being coached complex moves, without any groundwork being done. - Major in the fundamentals first. Own the positions that are important: Bottom of a squat Full range of movement push ups Deep lunges (with holds) Planks and anti-rotation core movements. Eccentric chin ups and, hip hinges. - Earn the right to lift heavy. #TeamApoc #becrehab #Strength #Training #Performance #Conditioning #CPPS

The hip hinge is a super important move to master. It’s used in the deadlift, squat, RDL, bent over row and plenty more. If you usually feel these movements in your lower back, don’t be scared to regress and learn proper movement patterns. For me, the easiest way to learn the hip hinge is from a tall kneeling position. The cues? 1. Kneel tall ✅... 2. Brace ✅ 3. Sit back onto your heels whilst keeping your back straight ✅✅ - Once this has been well practiced, progress to a standing position and finally to a loaded exercise. - In a world where people settle for shitty form for an extra 10kg on the bar, do the groundwork, play the longer game and hit that muthaf***a for reps......with solid form. - #LittleInvestments #BigWithdrawals #TeamApoc #BECrehab #Strength #Training #Conditioning #Performance #Movement #Patterns #HipHinge #CPPS

I’m a huge advocate of letting kids play as many activities as possible. Run, jump, climb and tumble through the summer 👌

On Sundays we focus on hinge movements 💪 - #TeamApoc #TeenSavages #Strength #Training #Future #Athletes #CPPS

When I’m not coaching at the gym, I’m helping out coaching the team my youngest son plays for....and it’s an absolute pleasure to be included in this great set up. I learn as much from the kids as they do from us 😢 #GrassRoots #Football #RoachDynamos #ImNotCryingYoureCrying

When the last ball is kicked for my son’s football season, that’s it! Maybe the odd kick about on the field but I’ll be encouraging a big break from the sport. More time to play and be a kid. Biking, trampolining, climbing in parks, playing bulldog...anything and everything! Multiple movement directions, multiple sensory stimulus to adapt to and less chance of burning out in a sport he loves. ... I’m not even taking repetitive injuries into the equation. Don’t sacrifice quick successes for long term, continuous progress. - #TeamApoc #becrehab #Strength #Training #health #kidscantrain #confidence #consistency #progress #grassroots
