I was just hunting through my drafts for the blog when I discovered this, written in Pearson Airport, Toronto, last July. I don’t know why I didn’t publish it before, but anyway here it is now. “America’s playground” I’m just sitting in Toronto airport waiting on a distant connecting flight to Dublin after spending a … Continue reading
There follows a quick, snappy, notes on my basic training/nutrition/lifestyle chat I give to new Personal Training clients. I’ve never watched Operation Transformation, but loads of people seem to be asking me about it. I never watch reality shows or whatever it’s masquerading as. Nutrition 1. Good news, you’re probaby already 50% of the way … Continue reading
I’m going to throw down some random Wednesday morning-off-work thoughts. There’s no order or structure here, so if I ramble on longer on one than the other, it’s because I feel like it. I mostly train young uns Training large groups of girls is a little different to guys, but not much. I’ve trained small … Continue reading

We are promised that there’s a great collective consciousness out there, ready to debate, discuss, and discover new things. We can read … Continue reading
This isn’t a programme or a schedule, just some things to think about. Throw them into your training, or start your training with them. Up to you. 1. Do 100 pronated shoulder width pull ups every week, in any order, at any time. See what happens. 2. Learn a new gymnastic movement each month. And … Continue reading
It’s come to my attention that a few people have been trying to get in touch with me regarding training via this blog but have failed. This was due to a technical issue with the contact form on the blog. Sorry for any inconvenience! If you’d like to get in touch regarding anything to do … Continue reading
Here’s a thought. The people I have programmed and trained for free are far less likely to follow my programming than the people who pay for it. This is an established economic and psychological phenomenon, which is lucky really or I would get offended very regularly. If you pay more for a product or service, … Continue reading
