LIGHTER WEIGHT DOESN’T MEAN AN EASY SET 🔥

Two compound movements. Hack Squat + Leg Press. One objective: push close to muscular failure.

It’s not always about how much weight you can load onto the machine.

It’s about how much quality effort you can produce with that weight.

✅ Control every repetition.
✅ Maintain your technique and range of motion.
✅ Create mechanical tension.
✅ Push those final reps close to failure.
✅ Make every working set count.

Those final challenging repetitions are where you really have to work. The goal isn’t to move the heaviest weight possible at any cost, but to challenge the muscles while maintaining good execution.

Intensity isn’t just about the load. It’s about the effort you bring to the set.

Train with purpose. Progress with consistency.

What’s your favourite leg day finisher: Hack Squat or Leg Press? 👇🏻

2018 VS 2026. Eight years of training, learning and growth.

I was around 31 or 32 in the first photos, weighing roughly 67–69 kg. Today, at 40, I’m around 75 kg. The photos show a physical change, but this journey has also shaped me as a personal trainer and taught me a lot about discipline, patience and mindset.

One lesson from my mentor @super.saiyuan has stayed with me: “We are a product, and as a product, we have to show what we’re made of.”

Sai taught me to train with purpose and challenge both my body and my mind. I’m grateful for his knowledge, his example and the words that have stayed with me throughout my career.

I’m also grateful to @lizvalbe.coach and @saskia.s.pt for their guidance and support. I’ve learned so much from each of you, and I carry those lessons into the work I do with my clients.

The journey is still going. Keep learning, keep showing up and keep pushing towards your potential. The sky is the limit when you stay committed to the process.

Don’t rush your back extensions. Set up well, hinge at the hips, and control the movement from start to finish 🦾

YOU’LL NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU’RE CAPABLE OF UNTIL YOU DECIDE TO PUSH YOURSELF 👊🏻

Two clients. Two different starting points. One shared commitment to becoming better.

These transformations were achieved over 13 weeks with my previous clients in Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺

They followed the plan, pushed beyond their comfort zones and remained consistent even when motivation wasn’t always there.

Because real progress doesn’t come from being perfect.

It comes from showing up, doing the work and pushing your limits one day at a time.

Stay consistent long enough and you won’t need to imagine the results, you’ll see them for yourself.

Your body is capable of more than you think. The question is: how far are you willing to push yourself?

I’m now offering personal training in Helsinki and online coaching worldwide.

Ready to discover what you’re capable of?

DM me “TRANSFORM” and let’s get started.

PULL-UPS: WRONG ❌ vs RIGHT ✅

Pull-ups look simple… but small changes in your setup and execution can make a BIG difference.

❌ Avoid using excessive momentum and swinging your body to get yourself over the bar.

✅ Instead, keep your body controlled, create tension through your core, drive your elbows down and pull yourself towards the bar.

Control the movement. Own every rep. Build real strength 🦾

Save this for your next pull-up session 🔖

Stop chasing extremes!

Start earning results.

2024: 71.5kg — training 6x/week, running on weekends.
2026: 76.3kg — 40 years old, training 4–5x/week,15k steps daily.

Less chaos. More control.

You don’t need more workouts.

You need better sleep.
Better nutrition.
Better recovery.
Better discipline when no one’s watching.

Most people burn out because they think “more = better.”

That’s why they look the same year after year.

Balance isn’t soft, it’s strategic.

It’s what keeps you progressing while everyone else falls off.

No shortcuts. No excuses. Just consistency over time.

CABLE CRUNCH — Make Your Abs Do the Work 🔥

Cable crunches are simple… but easy to turn into a hip-hinge exercise.

Here are 5 cues to get more out of them:

1️⃣ Set your knees and hips
Get into a stable kneeling position and avoid sitting your hips back and forth on every rep.

2️⃣ Think ribs → pelvis
Don’t just bend forward. Think about bringing your rib cage toward your pelvis by actively flexing your spine.

3️⃣ Keep the cable close
Hold the rope around your forehead/temples and let your abs move the resistance, don’t pull the rope down with your arms.

4️⃣ Control the stretch
Come back up slowly and allow the abs to lengthen under tension. Don’t completely relax at the top.

5️⃣ Crunch hard at the bottom
Exhale, shorten the distance between your ribs and pelvis, and squeeze your abs before controlling the weight back up.

Biggest mistake ❌
Loading the stack too heavy and turning the movement into a hip hinge.

Think:
👉🏻 Spine flexion
👉🏻 Ribs toward pelvis
👉🏻 Controlled eccentric
👉🏻 Hard contraction

Good technique beats heavy weight ✌🏻

HOW TO USE THE GREENFIT KEILANIEMI HACK SQUAT 🦾

A few key things to get right before loading it up 👇🏻

🔘 MACHINE ANGLE: Start around 45° and progress gradually as you get stronger.

🔘 SAFETY PINS: Set them according to your squat depth. Stop before your hips/pelvis start rotating at the bottom.

🔘 PLATFORM ANGLE: Adjust it based on your ankle mobility and comfortable squat depth.

🔘 FOOT POSITION:
Lower = more quad bias 🦿
Higher = more glute/hip contribution 🍑

🔘 BRACE: Deep breath in, brace your core and keep your back supported.

🔘 CONTROL: Slow descent → 1-sec pause → drive up without aggressively locking your knees.

The Hack Squat gives you a supported, fixed movement path, allowing you to focus on loading the legs without the same stabilization demands as a barbell squat.

CONTROL IT. GET DEEP. DRIVE UP. 🦾
