Frequency of training should revolve around your recoverability and your adaptability, push both to their limits before increasing your training frequency

Put very simply if you can get stronger and technically more efficient training just 2-3 times per week then you should do this for as long as possible. This is normally the first year or two of training for most people. You will constantly have a novel stimulus because your body is always trying to refine and learn a new movement pattern with good technique (especially in Olympic Weightlifting), whereas on the strength side of things the novel stimulus will come from adding reps, load or sets to a training session

If you reach a point where your sessions are too long to sustain mental and physical focus OR have stopped/slowed progressing then you can add another training session per week and repeat the process until you hit a wall again

Your body is a machine, and a bloody good one at that. It will adapt to whatever you throw at it in order maintain homeostasis, so our goal is to always find the minimal amount of work needed to elicit a training response, this is how you constantly progress

So instead of rushing into training 5 times per week, start with 3 (or even 2) and give everything you’ve got in those 3 sessions, you will see results

ATTENTION!

We are no longer based out of Wichita, and will be operating online only for the foreseeable future

We have several Team training programmes available, with our 3/5x week Olympic Weightlifting programmes and our 3x week Olympic lifting for CrossFit

You can also receive individualised programming and coaching, with weekly video feedback and analysis, just DM me ‘more info’ for, well, more info

Knowing when to deload is as important (if not more so) than knowing when to push your limits

Worried you’re not doing enough?

Worried you’re doing the wrong thing?

Worried you’ve not got enough time to finish the whole workout?

Been there, done that, got the t shirt

We’ve all been there

Try not to stress about it, doing something is always better than doing nothing

Go to the gym, do what you can, go home, don’t think about it anymore 🤙🏼

If you only look for progress in one place then you’ll quickly run out progress

If you look for progress across all the factors in your sport then you’ll never go hungry looking for it

Strength, technique, consistency, recovery, understanding, these are all areas that can be improved regardless of what sport you do, do not neglect the progress here

Positive mindset will lead to positive results

Working out is you vs you.
