Capturing the essence of the land.

Make sure to go through the shots as each one represents a different moment.

Thanks to @johannesegberts for constantly holding space for me to move forward, wider and higher.

Straight up go into his space of experience and embrace it yourself @breathless_expeditions

I reflected on me. Connection to mother earth. That it's only recent history that humans are able to be so disconnected from the land.

Thus spending real time with her in her elements.

Appreciating father sky for the cover. No solid barrier between us and space.

A representation of domestication that I've been through to pushing my body to capture frames when all I wanted to do was lie down.

I wondered how Genghis Khans armies would traverse land and still have the energy to fight. Adaptable.

Malleable 2021 - Being willing Having courage and then Doing as a result.

That sentence is a current guide now.

We love summer too...
.
10 PEAKS

I've grown to love this place so deeply over the last three years of playing, creating, healing and operating in the wild and wonderful Kosciusko National Park
.
Aiming my purpose at a life be design...
.
Not by default
.
Which is a lot more action based then it is conceptual
.
Go where you feel most alive.
.
We attempted to summit 10 of Australia's highest peaks, in four days, this time with a group of 25
.
We didn't quite make all of them, but what we found along the way was deeply more significant
.
Joy. Vitality. Fun. Challenge. Nature. Tribe.
.
Some of my favourite medicine
.
And ofcourse the water was still plenty chill, the mountain air this and the company wholesome. THANK YOU.

November is almost over, which means its almost time for these brave men to shave of the moustaches that they have so proudly wore for the last 24 days.

We just want to remind everyone it’s not to late to join in and help us raise money for the movember foundation.

The cafe is still whipping up some delicious moustachas and there are QR code’s around the gym with links directly to the donation page.

Don’t forgot those who grew a moustache this month will go into a draw to win a generous prize, so come and see one of the girls at reception if you have done this and want to go into the draw.

An @n1.education special is the back foot elevated, front foot wedge split squat.
.
Similar to using a wedge in a squat, you get the knee further away which puts more load on the quads.
.
A typical back foot elevated split squat is more glute biased in the front leg. This variation allows for the quads to also be under significant loading.
.
This may or may not be better for your goal. There are many variations of split squat setup and loading, and it’s not a better or worse as much as the right tool for the job.
.
One of the stupidest logics is the old progression that beginners do front door elevated and progress to back foot elevated. That’s like saying beginners start with bicep curls and progress to incline presses. Literally makes no sense if you understand exercise and training variables.
.
You choose a setup for your goal and use the loading abs training variables that are appropriate for that client.
.
I learned that system too growing up as a trainer, but the fact that it’s still being passed on 10 years later shows that a lot of people don’t understand what they’re doing or teaching, they are just parroting things they’ve heard over the years to people for money. 🤬🤬🤬
.
Ok rant over. If you use this exercise, please give myself and @n1.training a tag to help support out innovations and keep our name associated with our work. 🙏.

Little adjustments can be the difference between someone liking or hating an exercise.
.
Experiencing benefit or pain.
.
Feeling confident versus incompetent or insecure.
.
Some people like to overlook the nuances because there may not be a single tangible metric that shows if you do it this way you get 10x more jacked and tan in half the time.
.
The reality is, applying these principles takes so little effort and time when you understand them. When you multiply these little benefits over time, the net impact can be quite significant across a variety of positive outcomes.
.
Can I tell you that your elbow pain was caused by you doing this one thing wrong with absolute certainty? No.
.
But I’m pretty confident that the same concept replies in reverse. If you do enough little things wrong or suboptimal, and multiply that by time, you can have a lot of negative outcomes.
.
The point here is, when the effort to do things better is so small, trying to create an argument against it for the sake of argument is a poor mindset.
.
Our goal should always be to creat the most optimal situation possible while maintaining a balance of what’s needed for adherence.

Match the angle of heel elevation to your stance for full squats. When using a wedge to increase range of motion of your squats, it is important that the angle of the wedge is lined up with the foot.
- - -
If you are standing wider with external rotation on a single wedge it will be pitching your feet inwards slightly which will decrease stability and potential output.

It’s amazing how much training variation you can achieve with a sound understanding of biomechanics and physiology.
.
The preacher bench is not a overly complex machine. It provides a flat surface to support your arm.
.
Yet with tempo, range of motion, or using bands and/or cables you can create a huge ensemble of exercises and supersets to progress your training stimulus.
.
Here I cover some of the most basic principles of the reverse vs standard preacher. But we could prob spend half an hour walking through variations here. You’ll find many of them in the @n1.training exercise library.

2nd workout of day three - HAMSTRINGS & GLUTES

Going over mechanics and execution, followed by two rounds of a 10x giant set.
So many pointers to take away for your leg training, that will optimize your hamstring recruitment and development 💪🏻
@bpakfitness @milossarcev @musclecamps
Once again shoutout to @kingdom.gym for having an excellent line-up of racks and machines to really get after it.

Day 1 of the Training Camp @kingdom.gym in Sydney in the books.
We’ve got a fantastic group here, eager to learn and give their all in these workouts.
Yesterday’s two workouts were focused on Chest and Back.

Today we’re training legs .. TWICE - let’s see how they’ll cope with a combination of our training principles.
Fingers crossed they can walk out tonight 😉💪🏻👊🏻
