3 ways self-love actually looks in real life 🌿

1. Resting without earning it first.
2. Saying no without a long apology.
3. Choosing people who choose you back.

Self-love isn't a spa day — it's the quiet, daily choice to treat yourself like someone worth caring for.

Save this as a gentle reminder. 💛
Which one are you practicing this week?

Matching family costumes sounded cute until my kids developed opinions… 🙃

BENCH PRESS TECHNIQUE: UNDERSTANDING THE ARCH

Here’s a demonstration from my seminar in Hobart on the weekend with @gabosborne , where we broke down the mechanics of creating a strong, stable arch for the powerlifting style bench press.

One of the biggest mistakes I see is lifters misunderstanding how to use their feet to create leg drive.

When you’re positioned up on the balls of your feet, the objective isn’t simply to push your toes into the floor.

You want to drive your heels DOWN towards the ground.

Your heels won’t actually touch the floor, but the intention to push them down initiates hip extension, which encourages anterior pelvic tilt and promotes spinal extension, creating the arch.

Combine this with pulling your shoulders back and down, and you’ve created a strong, rigid and stable position to press from.

The mistake people make is pushing through the toes instead of the heels, pushing through the toes doesn’t influence the arch and it doesn’t increase the tension being placed through the body.

In this video, we demonstrate the difference between pushing through the toes and driving the heels down, and how this can influence your bench press setup.
