My name is Dirk Bruil and I’m strength & conditioning / performance & lifestyle coach (or whatever people want to label it). I’m an international rugby player who is working as a coach at Tree11 Healthclub in Alkmaar, the Netherlands, but got my degree in sport & exercise science in Manchester, UK. I’m starting this account to share my journey as a coach as well as an athlete to try and share some of my little experience in the industry. Give a follow if you like the sound of that or just ignore this post and keep scrolling away.

Now that the 15s season is in full flight and games are starting to be wetter by the week, It is nice to look back on the last sevens tournament of the summer.

—

The @resupercup is starting next week so my physical prep is fully focussed on maintaining power and staying fresh. With this big upcoming period ahead it’s a nice time to get back on the horse and start making some more content, so hopefully this page will be a bit more active than in the summer.

Strength is only useful if you can apply it 🤷🏽‍♂️

⚡ Reactive Squats: Improve speed, reactivity and rate of force development.
🏋️ Pin Squats: Build starting strength and force production from a dead stop.
💥 Quarter Squats: Increase explosive strength in sport-specific positions.

Train stronger. Move faster. Perform better. taken in tree11.health.club by @brlstrength

Your athleticism won’t improve by accident. 🤷🏽‍♂️

But these 8 jump variations are designed to build explosive power, improve movement quality and make you a more complete athlete.

Save this for your next session⚡

🚫 STOP DOING THESE EXERCISES…
Read below. 👇

If you add these into your training routine, you’ll unfortunately become a faster, stronger and a more complete athlete. 🤫

Speed. Power. Coordination. Agility. Strength. Stability.

Strong is good. Fast is better. Being able to combine all six? That’s what separates complete athletes.

Don’t just train muscles, train movement. Your gym work should make you perform better on the field, not just look better in the mirror.

Become the specimen.

Which will you add to your next session? 🤔👇

Off-season check in with @enry_aldo

The kettlebell sensei’s prodigy has definitely been putting in the work, as seen in these big outputs inside the gym as well as outside

Big uppers session assisted by the AC units in the hall

Body is feeling a lot stronger after taking it a bit easy last week

Chains adding a nice touch to the bench, just making it that little bit harder towards the end of the lift

General pressing feeling really good now that the shoulders are getting some rest

Looking to put some good gains on all these lifts in these next few weeks by @brlstrength

A Sale classic, and definitely one to add to your off-feet rotation.

First proper conditioning session in the offseason. 23:12 was my final time, so nothing to write home about. I am sure plenty of you can beat this time, so give a it a go and let me know your time.

@rossharrisonfr surely you can go sub-20 on this one 🤝🏼 by @brlstrength

Bit of a Monday recharge 🔋

Absolute beauty of a weekend with the lads from @thirdhalf.co , big thanks to Logan and Bobby for getting me involved.

Legs were feeling very heavy this morning though, so a quick mobility flush in the new and improved Hal at the @tree11_health_club HQ most definitely did the job today.

One last dance this weekend before we enter the off-season program next week, so stay tuned for that by @brlstrength
