Working out in Spring / Summer

Spring and Summer for me are when I do most of my coaching and DO the actual sports I love.

There’s more of a focus on actual gameplay scenarios as I’m out in the water actually surfing and coaching, rolling at BJJ and teaching a lot.

This means my training changes to largely maintenance sessions. When I’m doing the sports I love - the focus is on progressing in the skills I want to learn in those specifically.

I stick largely to what I know (conditioning wise) during this window because there’s a lot going on that’s already using a lot energy to learn.

That doesn’t mean I don’t have fun doing it - it means I get outside and do what I love and have always done: hang rings in a tree and push, pull, squat and do mobility.

This is just how I like to train and work - the key is consistency. Greasing of the groove.

I’ve recently been teaching clients how to PERIODISE because a lot of them do lots of surfing, BJJ, run distance etc - and times to peak, maintain and taper are hugely important for longevity.

Fancy learning this kind of training?

Calisthenics + Surfing + Coffee Morning Rituals

When I first discovered calisthenics parks in Burleigh Heads years ago, I was hooked…

I’d wake up, run to the bars, train with locals, grab a coffee, and then go for a surf.

In Ericeira, I got to experience that again… Calisthenics is a special way of life for me. It connects me to nature, helps me get jacked, and lets me learn awesome skills that benefit my surfing.

People ask me how it helps with surfing. I can paddle hard, pop up fast, and my core is strong. That all adds up to explosive power and endurance, and it massively boosts confidence too.

I started surfing and calisthenics around the same time, between 18 and 22 years old. Training both together has been my bread and butter ever since.

Obrigado Ericeira & Peniche

A well needed trip away to soak up some sun, surf, calisthenics and good times 🏄🏼‍♂️

Blessed to have surfed Ribeira D’Ilhas several days in a row, trained, ate beautiful home-cooked meals, hung out with the missus and “rested”. I say “rested” I just did everything I love and 10x’d it 🤸🏼‍♂️🏄🏼‍♂️🧜🏻‍♂️☕️

Looking forward to heading back soon - I love places like this because they just emanate good health, froth and stoke 🤙🏻

Have just released a course on my stan.store link in Bio - go check it out 💪🏼

Strict Ring Muscle Up

Yes - you can learn it without bands! 🦧

Numero Uno: you’ll need a solid comprehension of False Grip - that cannot be stressed enough. No FG = No (strict) MU 🙅🏼

Conditioning wise, you’ll neeed a: solidly strong dip, high pull ups and solid L-sits which can be built at the same time as working these progressions - don’t not start because you can’t do these. Train them in parallel 🦧

As you get stronger you can start working the vertical movement pattern and the best way to do this is working eccentrically (through the lengthening phase of the pattern) 🤸🏼

If you just keep drilling it using legs assisted methods and working on the above - you can unlock it 🔓

The time I WOULD advocate for using bands is to support yourself at the peak of the “pulling phase” but not to use the band to explode through the move! 💣

You’re gonna need to build true strength where the band does most of the work and takes the load - that’s the most important part to learn, rather than just “jumping” through it 🦘

The struggle is real, but it’s in the struggle that we overcome the obstacles by building resilience and strength through range & pattern 🧘🏼

Good luck 👊🏻

FOLLOW THIS TO STEP INTO SPRING

Winter was a fu***ng slog. There’s been a lot going on hasn’t there?

You’re right…. The World’s cooked. We can still choose how we want to live though! 🧜🏼‍♂️

Teaching Movement is a blessing and everyone is smashing it! Surfing and training loads! Yeowwww 🏄🏼‍♂️💪🏼

News:
• Reading The Book currently & livin’ in a way that feels closer to the truth! Yewww! 📕
• SΛLΛ Clothing is LIVE 👕
• Finished the Movement for Surfers Course with Base… 👀

Let’s move - no time to sleep on goals - time is now💪🏼⏳

Can you learn The RMU without bands?

Yes. Just get strong af. (you’re gonna need it) 💪🏼

Work the transition like so, utilising:
1. Pistol
2. Vipers
3. Deep AF Dips
4. Controlled Negative

Bands are great but not to be relied on solely - use both ☯️

Result = build raw strength + learn technique + learn strength through technique ranges 📈

All of these moves place the focus on Depth, “The Pit” and Transition 🦧

Legs are great assistance because you can gauge how much assistance to give ⚖️

Let me know how you get on!

Wintering Begins…

We’re locking in here at SΛLΛ 🥷🏼

What Winter for me is looking like has begun to land… there’ll be lots of nourishing meals, slow cooks, walks and nature time - amongst all the athletic activity 🧜🏼‍♂️

Calisthenics Classes are absolutely pumping at Shiva, with a range of classes to suit all abilities! They’ve even had to add another class 😱

I’ll be coaching bespoke 1:1’s there for winter… so if you’re thinking about getting started and/or wanting to take your Calisthenics/Movement to a new level; that’s where I’ll be 🧘🏼

Working with Base over Summer has undoubtedly impacted me the most, realising even more deeply just how much Movement capacity directly impacts Surfing! Have learnt so much coaching for these guys 🤝

As always: I’m frothing on being a White Belt in a different discipline - that’s what I’ll be dialling in on over Winter, as well as more wave time too…

Receiving messages everyday from current and past-clients, expressing their joy in their achievements, lights me up! 💡

Get fit for Cornwall y’all 🤙🏻 (and ride switch sometimes - it’s good for the Soul)

Enjoying exploration of Multi-Planar Movement for sports and lifestyle that keeps me Frothin 🤙🏻

Everything I enjoy for Hobbies requires that I be able to Move in a multitude of ways…

These are some I’ve leant on massively through summer. I used these to stay strong for coaching, surfing, living and greasing the groove 💃🏼

Can get a lot done with some Rings and a Pink Fluffy KettleBell by 🐶

Give them a go and let me know what you reckon 🧜🏼‍♂️

Pm me if you wanna use Movement to 📈 your performance 🤙🏻
