How Many Sets And Reps Should You Do? I can tell you that for me personally, I do 3 sets for most of my movements, and I typically work in the 8-12 rep range. And this is pretty much the same set/rep structure that I like to use with most of my online coaching clients! But when it comes to building muscle and making progress in the gym… The magic actually isn’t in the number of sets OR the number of reps that you do. The “magic” is in the INTENSITY of those sets and of those reps. So in my example, if I consistently did 3 sets of 8-12 reps BUT those sets weren’t intense or all that challenging… I probably wouldn’t build very much muscle, and I wouldn’t make a ton of progress in the gym. So sets and reps are definitely important, most people are going to want to 3 sets typically, and work somewhere in the 5-15 rep range for the most part. But in order to build muscle and make progress, the exact number of sets/reps is not the most important factor. The most important factor is overall INTENSITY of those sets and of those reps. I hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions! - - - - - - #setsandreps #sets #reps #fitnessprogress #workouttips #trainingtips

Post 3 of our series about #periodization.
In the world of athletic training, achieving peak performance requires a well-structured and strategic approach. One such effective methodology is block periodization.

Did you know that Speed & Conditioning training are two very different things? It's no secret that an athlete thrives when they are equipped with both, but they require different training methods. Exhaustion after a workout does not necessarily mean that your athlete is getting what they need to be the best athlete they can be.

Senior Manager, Quality and Patient Safety | M.Sc. in Healthcare Quality & Safety Harvard Medical School (MHQS) | EMBA | M.Sc. Clinical Pharmacy (MCP), BCPS, CPHQ, CPPS
Once upon a time, in a bustling city, there was a young bodybuilder who joined a local gym that had been around for almost a decade. At first, he could only lift 2.5 kg on each side of the weight bar. Day by day, he trained tirelessly, slowly increasing his strength until he could lift 60 kg on each side. His dedication and progress caught the eye of the owner of another gym, one that had been established for a similar amount of time and was renowned for its elite athletes. The owner saw great potential in the young bodybuilder and invited him to join this prestigious gym, where he would lead a team of five bodybuilders, all aiming for a championship. Excited and determined, the young bodybuilder believed in teamwork. He distributed the weights evenly, giving each team member 20 kg while he carried 20 kg himself. However, to his surprise, the team struggled. They could barely lift their share, and they had to keep reducing the weight by 2.5 kg at a time. Soon, the young bodybuilder found himself carrying 110 kg alone, while the rest of the team managed the remainder. Frustration and confusion set in. How could they compete if his team couldn’t share the load? After some reflection, he realized that his teammates had never had the chance to train and build their strength like he had. Understanding this, he adjusted his approach. He took on 120 kg himself and split the rest among the team, knowing that this challenge would be the training they needed to grow stronger. Now, as the team continues to train and face new challenges, the journey of building strength and resilience is far from over. Each day brings new opportunities to learn and grow. The championship may still be on the horizon, but with persistence and dedication, anything is possible. Only time will tell what heights they will reach. #Leadership #Teamwork #GrowthMindset

#TEAMWORK MCL is here to help Smaller semi/amateur clubs often face challenges in implementing strength and conditioning programs due to several reasons: Financial Constraints: Limited budgets make it difficult to afford qualified strength and conditioning coaches or invest in necessary equipment and facilities. Lack of Expertise: Smaller clubs may not have access to experienced strength and conditioning professionals who understand the specific needs and limitations of amateur athletes. Resource Limitations: These clubs may struggle to allocate time, space, and resources for regular strength and conditioning sessions amidst other priorities and commitments. Limited Awareness: Some clubs may underestimate the importance of strength and conditioning or lack awareness of its potential benefits for improving performance and reducing injury risk. Volunteer-Based: Many semi/amateur clubs rely heavily on volunteers who may not have the expertise or time to dedicate to developing and implementing structured strength and conditioning programs. Access to Facilities: Smaller clubs may lack access to suitable training facilities or equipment necessary for effective strength and conditioning sessions. Competitive Disadvantage: Without proper strength and conditioning support, players at smaller clubs may be at a competitive disadvantage compared to athletes at larger, better-resourced clubs. Addressing these challenges often requires creative solutions, such as seeking partnerships with local fitness professionals or collaborating with other clubs to share resources and expertise. That's where I come in Book a consultation for more Info, link in BIO #StrengthAndConditioning #AmateurAthletes #SemiProSports #ClubAthletics #SportsPerformance #AthleticTraining #FitnessForAll #SmallClubChallenges #CommunitySports #AthleteDevelopment #TrainingResources #PerformanceTraining #SportScience

Helping career driven men TRANSFORM their bodies with a PERFORMANCE driven mindset | Become stronger, fitter and more athletic with tailored training, nutrition and lifestyle coaching inside the EMA
From gym floor anxiety to competition floor confidence, this is the story of my 1:1 client Madison Madison has been through the full gym transformation. From starting off in lockdown with some bands and dumbbells in his living room. To feeling anxious about walking through the gym doors. To feeling confident and excited walking out on the competition floor at Turf Games. He was someone, who before joining the EMA really didn’t know how to see positive change. Stuck in a rut with poor eating habits and a lack of fitness routine. He came to me, asking how he could flip all of this around. 20kilo of body weight lost and an average of 40kilos added to all his big lifts in the gym later. He is now thriving and knows exactly how to live a heathy and active life long term. He came away from calorie tracking but still saw positive results in the body. Because we used it as a tool to learn and build from but isn’t something you need to do for the rest of your life. He smashed 2 Turf Games competitions with EMA teams and I can bet you, he never would have imagined doing that when he first started out! Madison took self responsibility to make sure his actions reflected his goals. He showed up even on the days when he maybe didn’t want to. And he always asked for help when he needed it. No goal is too out of reach. Your mindset is limiting what you think is possible. You just need the right plan, work rate and accountability to get there. Want to know more? DM me the word “mindset” for details about 1:1 coaching #EMA #FITFORPURPOSE

Online Health Coach to Time Poor Executive's Who Are In Need of Consistency, Structure & Accountability💪
Here is as picture taken during posing practice prior to one of my natural bodybuilding competitions. I'm around 6 weeks out I believe 😅 I can honestly say, preparing to compete and get stage lean whilst running a business and coaching others is one of the hardest things I've ever done. This particular prep was only 13 weeks, which is nothing compared to the 26 week prep I did for the UKDFBA Championships in 2020, some of which during COVID so training in my back garden come rain or shine 👀 There are so many parallels to bodybuilding and business. The mindset and lifestyle that it fosters forces personal development, building of character and a mental fortitude that I'm not sure anything else gives you. This is what life looked like for me for the last 6 weeks of this particular prep: 🥙 1200 kcals only - 7 days a week 💦 2 Hours on a stair master daily, at 4:45am in the morning - 7 days a week 🏋️ 90 Minutes of hypertrophy training - 5 days a week 🚶♂️ 12,000 steps a day - 7 days a week Then...I had to run multiple businesses at the time, manage a household, social life and a relationship whilst protecting my sanity 🤣 However, the truth is... I loved it. When you're forced to find another 3,4 or 5 gears, trust me you can 📈 It showed me what I was truly capable of, and how easy it is to sell yourself short on a daily basis. These preps shaped me into who I am and I urge you to do something this year that is completely out of your comfort zone. Trust me when I tell you, you're capable and you'll find the time 🫡 Have you done anything that's truly challenged you this year? #challenge #bodybuilding #lifestyle #time #mindset
