ABOUT THE WORLD’S FITTEST BOOK This is taken from The World’s Fittest Book which is (unapologetically) different to most. Void of quick fixes, empty promises and magic pills. You won’t be given a training plan or diet guide to blindly follow. Instead the goal is to equip you with the principles of losing fat, building […]

GOAL SETTING EXPLAINED In an article entitled, “General Adaptation Syndrome and its Applications in Sport Training” it was written: “The athlete’s progress in physical performance, during the training process, is assured by repetitive training workouts, which activate the specific mechanisms of the body’s adaptation to the physical hyper function. These mechanisms assure the grow of […]
ARTICLE: THE WORLD’S FITTEST BOOK In many ways The World’s Fittest Book is not just a book. It’s written to be more like an empowering literary rebellion! Based on the work of Brazilian educational theorist Paulo Freire and his concept of, “Conscientization ”, it promotes a critical way of thinking that teaches us to achieve […]
Horse Power Programming requires an understanding of training adaptation and the work of Robert Hickson and his research into “concurrent training”, so let me start with a brief back story… For those not familiar with concurrent training, this is where an athlete trains more than one fitness component (strength, speed or stamina) at equal amounts of […]
Following my 48-hour (110km+) swim with the Royal Marines I wanted to post a video that relates to A LOT of tribe members journey’s this year. Whether taking on Ironman distance triathlons, ultra marathons or an entirely unique event, an understanding of Tim Noakes Central Governor Theory is essential. Mind over Matter? As runners, we […]

Each week I will document the key training sessions to show you the theory of creating your own programs so we can then speak 1-on-1 (using the Message function) to create a program specific and personal to YOUR goal. Today’s video: HOW I USE INTERVAL […]

I get a lot of questions on my core conditioning routines. The honest answer is I change them so much depending on what I’m training for. Strongman Swimming had a big emphasis on planks, holds and stabilising work to ensure I could hold a streamlined position throughout the 100km swim. But The World’s Longest Rope […]
Conditioning and sculpting the physiology of the back can be tricky. Typically people want a V Taper with minimal lower back fat which can cause the dreaded “love handles”. Which is why I wanted to include: My training video for GQ Magazine My article on “love hands” On one page! No man wants lower back […]
Exercises for shoulders are tricky to get right, but sculpted shoulders can serve as both an instrument and ornament. Improve their strength and every pressing movement from the bench to the standing military press becomes easier. Improve their shape and every shirt becomes instantly fitted as your newly-sized shoulders make your waist look smaller creating […]
The sport of triathlon is now “waking up” to the power of “work capacity” (and a method of training I am beginning to call “Horse Power Programming”). Which is why I am so excited to share with you my article (and cover) of this issue of Triathlete Magazine. In it we detail… My 8,000 to […]
