#Repost with @Repostlyapp @bretcontreras1 This brand new study compared vertical exercise (squats) to horizontal exercise (hip thrusts) and found that squats better improved countermovement jump performance whereas hip thrusts better improved horizontal jump and sprint performance. This lends support to the force vector specificity hypothesis and is similar in findings to my 2017 training study published in JSCR. #glutelab #gluteguy #thethrustisamust

#Repost with @Repostlyapp @10tonne Coached three amazing groups of #helpforheroes #powerlifters at #universityofbath today, focusing on a mock competition as a follow up to the technical sessions yesterday. Lots of great work and loads of incredible pb’s achieved. Working towards the UK Games to be held in Sheffield next month. Finishing off tomorrow with more technical training, bench accessory and shoulder mobility work. #parabench #parapowerlifting #bench #benchpress #powerliftingcoach #invictus #sportsrecovery #sportsrehab

#Repost with @Repostlyapp @10tonne For any other coaches looking to promote anti-doping in UK sport and provide their athletes with informed advice I can highly recommend visiting www.ukad.coachwise.com/store where there is an Accredited Advisor Certification Course available for free. Really good site and source of information.

#Repost with @Repostlyapp @10tonne Delighted to retain my All England Masters title with 20kg pb in squat, 15kg pb in bench and 7.5kg pb in deadlift. Am keeping fingers crossed it leads to selection for the English Commonwealth team. Massive thanks to @nwpowerlifting for putting on an amazing event. Also thank you to my family for putting up with me and my desire to pick stuff up and put it down again. @swindon_barbell_club @charliesgale @karlmarillier I wouldn’t be here without your friendship and support. Well done @louis.phelps.powerlifter, fellow All England champ! And thanks to Eric Spink and @pauljones5744 for all your help today. #powerlifting @swpowerlifting #sbd #masterspowerlifting #champion

#Repost with @Repostlyapp @louis.phelps.powerlifter Didn't put anything up from all englands yesterday as that day was about someone else who was far more important then a comp recap. Didn't get much footage of my lifts and tbh it doesnt matter as I didn't achieve what I would have liked however I did get the southwest 105 equipped squat on my opener and I'm the English 105 equipped champion while having a great day @nwpowerlifting put on a fantastic event which I look forwa...rd to doing again if they hold it next year. Thanks to everyone who's helped me out @10tonne and @pauljones5744 along with Eric on the day everyone at @swindon_barbell_club and @thegymglos for giving me amazing places to train and @charliesgale for being the best coach and mentor I could ask for I've got a long way too go but I can see how far I've come 💪 Also my beautiful wife @cphelps89 for never moaning about the time I spend away training and competing leaving you and the kids all the time always showing your support I love you so much x And lastly but by no means least @karlmarillier just for being awesome 😂 @swpowerlifting #powerlifting #hobby #passion #love #bench #3lift #powerlifters #squat #benching #workforit #support #powerlifter #strong #easy #competition #pb #britishpowerlifting #ipf #bpf #barbell #equipped
