Weekly Swim Stats 🏊‍♀️📊

Currently my swim session is 2000m once a week

I break it into 4 x 500m with a sip of water in between

Over the past 4 weeks I’ve noticed a steady drop in time as I feel more comfortable with this distance

The swim in June is 3000m so I’m feeling pretty confident. I’d love to go sub 60mins for this which I think I’m on for

I am having some goggle issues though

Any recommendations?

The likelihood is

👍You are probably doing all the right exercises in the gym

👎But not giving them enough time to actually pay dividends

👍You may well be training multiple times a week

👎But consistently doing different exercises and each week will mean you are consistently delaying your progress

👍You probably make it to the gym often enough

👎But not applying enough intensity to your sessions will mean you’re leaving gains on the table

💡My best advice for more results with your training is to

👉Pick 2-4 exercises per muscle group

👉Take at least one set to failure for each muscle group

👉 Keep all exercises the same for 8 weeks, minimum

👉 Apply intensity in one of these ways:

- Add a small amount of weight to each exercise each week

- Add an extra rep per set each week

- Add an extra set per each exercise each week

Falling back in ❤️ with Swimming 🏊‍♂️

Back in lockdown 3 years ago I took up swimming as I was training for my self led iron (sweet suffering)

Post event I didn’t continue swimming although it being the element I probably enjoyed the most

Those of you who know me know just how bad at swimming I was when I first started 😂

I’m quickly falling back in love with swimming, and TBF I’m marginally better

Point I’m making is… don’t not do something because you’re not very good.

The feeling of making progress will forever be a feeling I strive for and I’m lucky I have that with swimming

I have a couple of events coming up this year

The first one being a long lake swim with my old man… keep 👀 peeled

Your ‘optimal’ training plan isn’t going to give you optimal results if these 3 things aren’t looked after,

Sleep 7-9 hours each night

Train compound exercises, with heavy weights each week

Eat more fresh food, less out of packets and ready meals, focus on high protein intake

Then worry about how to optimise everything else

What is your favourite movement on my list of essentials?

For all you ‘GyM BrAH’s’ that are worried about cardio killing your gains….

Family time on Saturdays is my new favourite thing

Also - how impossible is it to climb out those foam pits 🤣

Online Client Testimonial .darkens

From being frustrated with his training

To

Thriving with his training and feeling more confident in the gym

This is a result of Sam showing up 4 x a week and following the program to a tee.

The one thing that has helped Sam is his level of communication, he gets the most out of me by asking all the questions he has, asking for feedback then applying it. Rinse and repeat

If you want to spend less time worrying about your training and more time picking up heavy stuff

2022 Over and Out

I’ll keep it short as I know these posts are kinda annoying 😂

I’m finishing the year in a much more positive place than I started it

I have a new sense of clarity as myself as a person, as a coach, as a father and as an athlete.

I’m very excited to see what’s in store for this year to come

Thank you to everyone who’s been a part of my story so far

Big love

Coach Jack
