Bracing is one of those things that everyone talks about, but that surprisingly few people actually master. You’ll hear “brace hard!” shouted across a platform, or see someone take a big breath before a lift and assume that’s all there is to it. In reality, there's a lot more going on when you learn how to nail the brace. Done properly, bracing is what allows you to actually use all of the strength you’ve built. Done poorly, it doesn’t matter how strong your legs or back are,

Written by Tex Michael Jordan famously had a “Love of the Game” clause written into his NBA contract. It meant he could play basketball anytime, anywhere, with no risk to his contract. “My love of the game (clause) within my contract … if I was driving with you down the street and I see a basketball game on the side of the road, I can go play in that basketball game. And if I get hurt, my contract is still guaranteed.” "I love the game so much that I would never let someone

The Flow Zone Athletes across many sports describe the “flow zone” from Formula 1 drivers to boxers to rugby players and even darts professionals.

For most lifters, this isn’t something that can be consciously forced on competition day. But with patient, structured, expert coaching, it is something that can be experienced, and repeate

Written by Mok “The lifter must bend the knees and lower the body until the top surface of the legs at the hip joint is lower than the top of the knees.” The wording for squat depth is the same for the majority of powerlifting federation’s rulebooks in the UK, so why is the “standard” so controversial and applied so variedly across federations and different equipment (raw, wraps, single‑ply and multi‑ply)? Everyone has been at powerlifting meets and heard “the standard is s

“Earned, not Given.” If you’ve been coached by me, you’ve heard it more times than you can count. But what does it actually mean, and why does it matter? For me, ‘EnG’ isn’t a catchy slogan. It’s a coaching philosophy. It shapes how I structure training, how I approach technical development, and how I help lifters build the psychological confidence needed to perform at their best. It’s not the only coaching method out there, some lifters thrive under a more “trust the process

Mechanistic action & context that’s super important Now I don't want to dive right into the uses of retatrutide and how this could be applied in certain contexts, without giving some background context to the mechanism of action, what this drug actually is and why I believe this compound has truly become the hottest product in the world of performance, longevity and ‘health’. It feels like this has become the injectable, adult equivalent of kids breaking the legs of other kid
