I don’t know what my favourite workout day is anymore, I just love them all! Getting better at dips has given me much love for Wednesdays workout even though there’s no lower body work (which is my normal favourite).

Man I’m still sore after Monday. A bit bruised and beaten after basketball on Monday, did a ocean recovery session which made me feel good for a few hours but last night my right knee blew up. Not happy! Once again I didn’t get my eating right on Monday, was feeling good until basketball and ... ...

Training for strength in sport, especially basketball, is about getting stronger and improving your power, speed and quickness. Your performance on the court or field is what matters first and foremost. Sure looking good on and off the court or field is pretty cool too, but no one is going to care how good you ... ...
