One of the best ways to make sure that the strength you build lifting weights transfers to real life sport performance or activities, is strongman training. While we need not do the exact exercises (or lift the weight!) that the “world’s strongest man” competitors do, some of the exercises are very useful for core training [...]

As many of you know, I am working hard so that our clients get the best possible equipment. In fact by the end of 2010 the Genesis Performance Center Gym will be upgraded with lots of new and better equipment. One reason that I am upgrading our dumbbells is that we want the dumbbells to [...]

Many personal trainers and strength and conditioning coaches miss out on the key to grip training. As I mentioned in my previous grip training post, the key is variety, in the tempo, the exercises, the angles, the weights, the isometric holds, the finger positions, WHICH finger is used, and which type of wrist or hand [...]

Because many of these clients are highly motivated types of people, they often play these sports competitively and want to do as well as possible in tournaments. The level of the tournament can range from school leagues to professional (i.e [...]

That is why any good training program should have phases where strength is the focus. That is part of the program design you [...]

Many of my clients have been through other training locations, gyms and fitness centers here in Singapore. It is no secret that most clients are going to aim for some kind of fat loss, but how many of them have actually had their fat measured by a professional skilled in using a set of calipers [...]

I just got back from Halmstadt in Sweden yesterday night. The seminar was good. We trained 2x/day and for a resonable fee, the Eleiko Sports Center where the course was held even provided good quality food. Wonderful and I actually gained 3kg of muscle in a week (1kg was probably fat and water retention). As [...]
