COACHING EXPECTATIONS! 🔥

If you are looking to work with a coach, this is a full breakdown of what you should expect of a full service.

Anything missing from this list means you are not receiving comprehensive coaching.

- Bespoke programming
- Video analysis
- Communication

Each one of these is a simple heading, but how they are delivered both in terms of frequency and detail makes a huge difference to the experience.

📹 Video analysis depends on the frequency, the level of detail you’re receiving and delivered in a way you understand

💻 Programming is so much more than just exercises on a spreadsheet, its justifications, decisions, making adjustments based on your training and externals and the frequency of those updates.

📨 Communication I believe to be the most important, this is why we give 60 hours a week with sub 10min reply times - but varies across services.
Communication should be frequent, quick enough to actually have an impact and of course actually be valuable in its context.

If you want to know more or work with us directly, just message me ‘COACH’

We can cover the details, get you on a phone call and talk through everything to make sure not only is it the right service for you but that you are truly getting the most out of coaching. by @c_j_barney

33 years of ambition.
6 weeks to build.
1 year today.

@thededicatedgym is so much more than the walls, more than the people, it’s more than just weights and barbells.

This was the biggest venture yet, but most of all on the shoulders of belief.

I believed in people, my people. I was told this would fail, it was a bad idea, outright that people wouldn’t back me.

Then these people stood with me every day, they showed up no question, they gave time, support. When I was cracking they held the pieces together.

I can’t express my gratitude enough, I can only say thank you. You helped this man build his dream and most of all made it feel safe to believe in others.

One year in the community has come to life, we crushed every goal we had for the first year in weeks, we have been blown away watching this come to life.

@theearthlingrachel thank you for taking this leap of faith with me and in me. We did this together.

DG will grow, but nothing will beat what those 6 weeks gave me.

Love you bye. by @c_j_barney

Powerlifters: The Slack Pull Guide ✅

One of the most repeated and regurgitated principles in the sport BUT now once again - Misunderstood 💀

The slack pull has become glorified, exaggerated and now creating more problems than solutions.

The slack pull IS NOT maximum force, it’s about creating enough pressure, removing the small amount of bar bend and lost force.

IF you are finding that you’ve set up is good, but you’re losing position before you even wedge - maybe calm it down…

Sometimes less is more - and if you’re not sure:

• Bench: 65kg
• Deadlift: 165kg, 5kg PB
• Total: 357.5kg by @c_j_barney
