Working with Dennis has been a game changer. My back pain is significantly reduced and the numbness / tingling in my leg is all but gone. I feel increasingly stronger every week, just amazing.

- Laura Lewis

Dennis is extremely knowledgeable and detailed, always taking the time to explain everything very clearly and always providing encouragement and motivation in a personable, calm way.

- Louise Hunt

Dennis is the real deal. I’ve been working with him for 6 months and feel fitter, stronger and more mobile than I have in about ten years. As a result, I’m enjoying my training more than ever.

- Michaeljon Alexander-Scott

His attention to detail is second to none. For too long I’ve spent hours in the gym and found myself hitting plateaus. After one session Dennis identified my areas of imbalance, and put a plan to get my body working to its full potential.

- James Duguid

Jess came to me in a tough spot after a disc herniation, riding the ups and downs of intense pain and brief relief.

We stripped everything back to basics and focused on helping her understand how to manage her symptoms. Since then, Jess has made incredible progress.
She’s now stronger, more resilient, and fully committed to her rehab.

She’s a perfect example of what happens when you trust the process, stay patient, and consistently put in the work. Proud coach!

If you’re looking to bounce back from injury to performance, get in touch to explore the next steps 😊

Time for an upgrade. I’m making some key changes to the current programme and dropping 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗲 𝟮 very soon.

This new version lets you choose your focus. Athletes will be able to opt for a 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 or 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 bias track via fitr, based on initial testing, removing guesswork. This will also be retested proving that the training works.

PLUS, I’ll be teaming up with a 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁 to make sure you’re fuelling right in the lead up to race day. Because peak performance begins with proper preparation.

If you’re chasing a competitive finish, stay locked in. Updates coming soon 👀💥

𝗤𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 🙅‍♂️

In my coaching experience, this common fault happens often due to a lifter not exposing themselves early enough to moving in under the bar. At some point you will need to, so the earlier, the better.

Here are some general 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 that can help eliminate jumping forward ⬇️

1️⃣ 𝗣𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝘀 - this helps with the coordination of adjustments and the transition phases of the lift. Pause reps will help you gain confidence and strength at each position.

2️⃣ 𝗘𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗡𝗚 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝘀 - this forces you to be hyperaware of your positions. It will help with the first and second pull and at what point you should be transitioning to get shoulders behind the bar.

3️⃣ 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗿 - this provides an external cue to keep your feet behind the line and make the necessary changes.

4️⃣ 𝗟𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 - hammer the stuff that will get your lower back strong, enabling you to stay over that bar.

Give these a go and watch your clean 📈

I have been working with Rob online for about 6 months now, with one clear goal: level up every aspect of his training to give him the best shot at competing.

Rob’s made huge strides across the board in his CrossFit game - proof of the consistency, passion, and purpose he’s brought to the process. Watching his growth has been awesome and it’s only just the beginning.

If it is, this is what I normally encourage ⬇️

1️⃣ 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 on jumping up to the bar - THINK grips over and knuckles over the bar.
2️⃣ Increase 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗽 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 - go heavy and use exercises that tax the grip away from the toes to bar.
3️⃣ More 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗽 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 exposure - These can be additional or optional pieces that repeatedly expose your grip.

Below is an example…

3 Rounds:

30m Sled Pull @ bodyweight OR 2 15ft Rope Climb
Rest 15s
50m Heavy Farmers Carry @ 2 x 30/20kg
Rest 15s
10-12 Fat Grip Bicep Curls @ 30/20kg
*Rest 60s between sets.

Hanging from a bar is no easy feat, especially when a skill is involved. Give the above a go and watch your TTB go through the roof 🚀

𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 🔥

The concept of seeking and applying ‘the minimum effective dose’ (MED) is core to my coaching beliefs and has been for some time.

The MED suggests that even a small amount of well-structured training can lead to the adaptations we are seeking.

I’ve seen far too many athletes over the years with the mindset that more is better, and in reality, it’s what’s probably holding you back.

There are so many tools at our fingertips that can help us understand where the sweet spot is, and in my opinion, it’s important to know what keeps us there.

𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿…the body responds better with quality, not quantity. Let’s ditch the “more is better” mindset and commit to intentional, effective training for long-lasting results 😊

𝗠𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗽𝗵𝘆 😊

This one really got me thinking about the values and principles I hold close as a coach.

Shaped by my education, countless hours on the gym floor, recent experiences with online coaching, and walking the walk as an athlete myself.

These core beliefs guide my day-to-day coaching and will continue to do so for years to come.

For me, coaching goes far beyond sets, reps, and technique. It’s about fostering growth, building confidence, and empowering individuals to become the best version of themselves - both inside and outside the gym.

There’s always the temptation to get carried way with what’s on the bar and technique goes out of the window.

If this is the case, at some point, you’ll have to go back to the drawing board and work on getting in underneath the bar rather than throwing your feet out wider.

Add these exercises into the mix and tag someone that needs to stop ‘star-fishing’ 👇

Taper/Race week recommendations 😊

With Glasgow and Malaga around the corner - make sure you’re dialed in and ready to perform at your best! Here’s what you need to focus on:

🔥 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗲 – The hard work is done. Avoid cramming in brutal sessions that drain your CNS. Prioritise feeling rested and sharp.

👟 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 – Race week isn’t the time to experiment. Keep the same shoes, nutrition, and fueling strategy that have worked for you in training.

🍞 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗯𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 – Hyrox demands high-intensity output, which means your body needs readily available carbohydrates. Prioritise carb intake leading up to and on race day!

📈 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 – Don’t wing it! Know the course, warm up properly, and be smart about transitions. The little details can save you time.

🏃‍♂️ 𝗥𝘂𝗻 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 – Trust your training. Stick to a realistic pace based on your training feedback. If you’re in doubles, have a clear plan with your partner.

Lock in, execute, and dominate race day. Best of luck and let’s go! 🔥🏆

I’m not saying I’m the best, but sticking to a solid process makes all the difference.

A common challenge in injury rehab is hitting an early plateau. This can happen for several reasons, but often it’s because the quality of care isn’t where it needs to be.

I’ve experienced this myself, which is why every client who follows our rehab pathway continues to make progress - it’s all about the care they receive.

If you’re struggling to bounce back from an injury, reach out and book a discovery call. Let’s get you back on track! 💪

Over the moon for client @jrosethorn on bouncing back from injury and smashing her first race in Vienna.

The reality of rehab…

Sometimes, clients experience flare-ups or even go backwards, it’s normal. What matters the most is a positive trajectory. Many variables are controllable and it’s up to us as coaches to guide clients to a fitter/stronger version of themselves compared to where they were before the injury.

Awesome job and well done 👏

When it comes to upping your single arm upper body strength, the offset variation is a favourite of mine.

This is simply because moving off the side of the bench forces you to recruit way more of the body. The aim should be to have almost half of the torso off.

I often use these in superset settings paired with some form of vertical or horizontal pulling work and also in accessory pieces.

If you haven’t tried this variation, get onit!

I like to split this into two categories; creating movement of the spine and resisting movement of the spine.

Altogether there are 8 patterns and in this video (part 1) I cover 4 of them that create spine movement.

There are a variety of exercises that you can use for these patterns, and I’ve tried to use some that I regularly use with clients.

Don’t forget to back these up by going heavy in your main lifts.

The notion that you can train at 90%+ most days of the week is a myth!

There will certainly be times when you need to push the envelope of performance, leaving you feeling beaten up. However, this should be done with the sole purpose of making sure you bounce back stronger.

A useful way of thinking about this is a neural battery. Some days you are going to rinse the battery, and other days, you’ll spare it. This allows you to maximally stimulate the different biological systems with sufficient recovery.

There are several ways you can manage how much stress the CNS tolerates within a training week, and using high, moderate and low-stress training days is a solid option.

As mentioned you could also use high vs. low stress days. This may be more applicable to those with a lower training age/less experience.

A great real-life example of this is working with in-person/online clients who have a higher level of external stressors. When programming like this we can help to reduce stress where needed.

I hope you are enjoying these whiteboard sessions. Stay tuned for more on this subject 😊

Sometimes, as coaches, we have to tell our clients that they are doing too much or pushing the envelope of performance and aren’t bouncing back between bouts of training.

Stress isn’t just the accumulation of what happens inside the gym, it has a multitude of layers, and it’s something from experience I can shed light on to help others.

Having an awareness of a baseline that you return to is important. Far too often, individuals love the training part but not so much the things that keep the plates spinning.

Obviously, sleep, nutrition and recovery protocols all play a role in making sure you are training for more days than you are not. And this must help back up the discussion using the whiteboard.

Comparing different populations and the application of stress on these can differ either in a way whereby more/less stress can be tolerated, therefore this could change recovery.

And lastly, more coming on this subject, specifically how you can avoid being under-recovered. Stay tuned.

Strength can take time to develop and requires great attention to detail, recovery, and progress to stay the course. A way in which you can maximise short-term strength performance is through wave loading.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸?

Wave loading is an effective way of peaking strength in a very short amount of time due to post-activation potentiation (PAP). It’s a bit complex from a physiology standpoint, but in short, wave loading helps the nervous system fire at increased rates, while also improving muscle fiber activation. These are both very effective ways to boost overall maximal strength/force production in a very short amount of time.

𝗔𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 (𝘢𝘴 𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘰)

Back Squat Waves

𝘞𝘢𝘷𝘦 1
3 reps @ 85%
2 reps @ 87%
1 rep @ 89%
-
𝘞𝘢𝘷𝘦 2
3 reps @ 87%
2 reps @ 89%
1 rep @ 91%
-
𝘞𝘢𝘷𝘦 3
3 reps @ 89%
2 reps @ 91%
1 rep @ 93%

*they can also be used in higher rep ranges such as 7-5-3, but remember these could be more effective in 2 waves due to more reps. My favourite way of using these is every 2-3 mins until all waves are complete.

𝗧𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲

Wave loading is a training technique that can be beneficial in increasing strength and power in athletes training at higher loads/percentages. These can be programmed to break plateaus, leading up to competitions, or before planned max testing. A solid option that leads to maximal force output and neuromuscular activation, allowing for enhanced performances.

Give this ERG workout a try. If you are looking to blow away the cobwebs post-Christmas indulgence, then this EMOM is perfect 😊

This one has plenty of levels depending on your ability and is aimed at sustaining output for 40 minutes across all three Ergs.

𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗣 [𝟲-𝟴 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘀]
3 mins Erg of choice + General Mobility

into…

2 rounds:
10 Ring Row
8 e/s Cossack Squat
20s Hollow Bar Hang

then,

𝗘𝗠𝗢𝗠𝟰𝟬
Min 1 - Ski
Min 2 - Bike
Min 3 - Row
Min 4 - Rest

𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹/𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 (𝗠/𝗙)
L1 - 15/12
L2 - 17/14
L3 - 19-20/16-17

🎯 Ideally, in this workout you need to hold the same amount of cals for the 10 rounds. Use a whiteboard to keep you accountable and ensure you don’t go out too hot.

⌚️I recommend getting the work done in a 55s window and then transitioning to the next erg. The rest will feel great after 3 consecutive trots in a row.

🫀Heart rate zones = lots of threshold.

Here’s another one of our client’s progress to date.

Rob had been coming to my classes for some time and then decided to take his training to the next level.

Having previously worked with bodybuilding coaches it’s been nice helping Rob with the transition to CrossFit.

I’ve provided Rob with the structure and expertise to enable him to reach his goals quicker and in a fashion whereby he understands the ‘sweet spot’.

In the timeframe of 3 months, Rob very rarely misses a training session and has gained a ton of confidence in the process.

A great client to coach, and looking forward to 2025 for some more 𝗚𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗦.

Unlike traditional sets, cluster sets break a set into sub-sets with intra-sets rest periods.

Instead of 1 set of 6 reps, you can break those 6 reps into two or three. Taking a 15-30sec rest between each cluster.

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀

Strength focus - Back Squat X 6 reps (2 reps, rest 15s, 2 reps, rest 15s, 2 reps) @ 85% of 1RM.
-
Power focus - Loaded Jumps X 3 reps (1 rep, rest 20s, 1 rep, rest 20s, 1 rep) @ 30% of 1RM.
-
Hypertrophy focus - DB Bench Press X 12 reps (4 reps, rest 10s, 4 reps, rest 10s, 4 reps) @ 70% of 1RM.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 (𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝘂𝗽)

Less Fatigue
Tufano et al (2016) compared cluster protocols with a traditional 3x8 session. Participants experienced lower acute fatigue and generated more total power and force during their training session.

Power Output
Morales-Artacho (2018) found that post power phase, the cluster group showed significantly greater improvements in power output across multiple loads compared to the group that did straight sets.

Strength Gains
Oliver et al (2013) compared traditional sets and intra-rest interval sets. They found the intra-rest set group saw greater increases in strength, despite similar volume.

𝗪𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁 𝘂𝗽

Cluster sets shouldn’t be programmed for beginners. They work very well for main exercises, such as back squats. However, they can be used in many scenarios to help build volume with less fatigue accumulation. If you’re going to use cluster sets, building volume with accumulation blocks is a good idea, but use them when you can to break plateaus.
