Adonis Athletics Castle Hill 24:7

Diet tip: you don't struggle to lose weight because you eat carbs after 6pm everynight.
You struggle to lose weight because you haven't got your energy balance right. Meaning you're eating more calories than you otherwise need and don't move enough.
Calorie deficit + moving more = fat loss

The last 4 weeks of @garyle_ training cycle has seen him doing high bar, front squats and nothing heavier than 97.5kg with some beltless work for 3 sets of 8's.
Plenty of posterior chain work to compliment this in his accessories.
Come to think of it he hasn't done any low bar (comp style squat) work probably in over 6 months or more.
... Anyways, beside the point. This is 170kg for a 10kg pb at 63kg bw. Just over 2.5x his bodyweight. ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ Where some people go wrong is the thinking and mentality that they need to do more, more volume, more intensity, more work and more everything.
Whilst this may work, there will come a point where more is not necessarily great. Where you will hit your maximum recoverable volume and a point of diminishing returns.
What do you do then? a good idea would be to work on periods of lower volume and intensity to re-sensitise to volume work. Beltless work is definitely one of my go to far in off season and re-laying foundations.
If you or someone you know is stuck and have plateaued with training, try a different approach. Perhaps what we've mentioned above. Let us know how you go.
Train smart!
Squat optimisation workshop coming up in a few short weeks. Stay tuned, we'll be releasing more info real soon üòÅ

It’s 7am in the morning, about 12degrees outside and you have to pull a heavy deadlift before you go to work. What do you do?
@adventuresofjimbo cracked a 300KILOGRAM deadlift this morning with no sign of a step backward both metaphorically and physically! This guy trains his glutes off and today is reaping the rewards! After breaking his ankle in a horrific accident it is a true test of mental and physical strength to be doing what he is today! Well done Jimbo, you can sle...ep well tonight! #dealift #300 #300kiloclub #powerlifting #adonisathleticscastlehill #adonisathleticspenrith #adonisathleticscampbelltown #adonisathleticsgranville What are your thoughts @dr.deadlift should be have used a band?

We still remember the day Sahan walked in and having never lifted a single weight, learning how to hip hinge from the ground on his knees. Now look at him, safety bar squat 100kg. Pretty sure his best squat is around 130kg. Don't quote me, bench 75-80kg and also deadlift 180kg.
You don't have to be great to start, buy you have to start to be great! üí™üëäüí™üëäüí™üëäüí™üëäüí™üëä üí™üëä Regrann from @insta_be4st1 - This is my 2nd training session back from a break. I did a daily max text for Safety B...ar Squats and got 100kg for a single. This is a 30kg PB INCREASE ‚¨ÜÔ∏è The last time I did a daily max test for Safety Bar squats was 2 years ago. Thanks @strongmanmattias and @alex_drummerbear for the spot, @v_drpower for the video and the morning crew for the support üëäüèæ @adonisathleticscastlehill @aronturner_96 @gazfit_pt @adventuresofjimbo @jordanarico #adonisathleticscastlehill #powerlifting #dailymax #safetybarsquats #pbs - #regrann

Let us preface this caption by saying that this transformation wasn't 100% our doing. @lou_belll had dropped a fair whack of this weight prior to joining us on her own accord. üëè With her permission, we really just wanted to share her story in hopes it can shed some light for other females out there on a similar path.
She sent us this picture after she put it together herself to see how far she's come in her own journey as a reminder of the hardwork she has put in to get to wh...ere she is today, not just physically but also emotionally and mentally.
Where we actually stepped in was about 5-6 months ago where we were already taking care of her training and by now, also her nutrition.
She wasn't in a happy place, eating 800-1000 calories a day and for a long while she though that the less she ate the more weight she would lose.
She eventually recognised that this was an issue and we helped educate her towards a better relationship with food and ultimately, to a better training experience and a transformation not only in her physique but a more sustainable lifestyle and strength continues to climb. She hit her first triple digit deadlift just over a month ago!! ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖" ;Before training at adonis and working with Will on nutrition I was eating between 800-1000 calories made up of mainly carbs thinking that was healthy. I’m now eating more than I ever have, tracking my macros and actually enjoy eating more now. I never thought I could look the way I do, eating as much as I do, especially when we were on closer to 1800 calories a day.
Still lots of progress to be made but I would say my relationship with food and nutrition has changed the most for the better. Not afraid of food anymore haha" ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ If you're looking at this thinking this could be you, well, it can be. If you're willing to put in the work.
Catch Lou on @lou_belll or @lou_lifts_shit for and find out how she did it.

@zacwilcockson pulls 290kg in a skills test. Slightly harder than it should have been, partially due to technique. But this is still a 10kg gym PB.
If you have had the pleasure of knowing Zac, he sets very high expectations upon himself.
He wasn't happy with this pull even though it's a gym PB. He's done 300kg in comp and 315kg on a deadlift bar at the deadlift for dollars for beyondblue.
... He wasn't happy partly because he thought he was capable of more. I was happy with this though, and I explained to him why.
1) training without caffeine/pre-work out last few cycles
2) no peak
3) not in a competition setting with the same level of arousal/andrenaline and environment.
All the above add to the key performance factors that we have to take into account. So to only be 10kg away from best competition pull on a stiff bar and hit a 10kg gym PB, where technique wasn't all there and none of the above modalities is definitely something to smile about. ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ Further more, another mistake a lot of people make is basing their training weights in gym off their competition PBs. Doing this might have you grinding and missing reps mid cycle and it'll catch up and cook you pretty quick. ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ Train smart. Set realistic expectations. If you're unsure of what's realistic and what isn't, hit us up. We may be able to guide you in the right direction.

"Without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community" ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ‚ûñ #tbt to earlier this year when we raised $40k for beyondblue.
A passion project that we've been running the last 3 years now.
... Be there to join us in next year's event. It's going to be big. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Regrann from @adonisathleticscastlehill - Deadlift For Dollars 2018 cheque has been drawn! * A total of $40,523 was raised from our Deadlift for Dollars event for @beyondblueofficial * This will be presented to one of the GM’s of Beyond Blue this Sunday at the NRL Beyondblue Cup. * This cheque signifies the efforts of everyone who came, donated & supported our event. This wouldn’t of been possible without you all. * Thankyou everyone for their patience & support. * Stay tuned for the handover. #adonisathleticscastlehill #beyondblue #deadliftfordollars #notweaktospeak

Only 18 years of age with 240kg on his back and moves it faster than most would with an empty bar.
Coaching client and athlete Ewan Belgrove back to training after taking the gold medal at the recent IPF World Championships. We've just begun our prep for Nationals in October where we hope to put up a even bigger total than we did at Worlds.
What total do you think he will punch out at the APU Nationals?

We never have to look very far for inspiration, we have a heap of guys & girls under our roof who are inspiration to their peers without even realizing it.
Take James Hu aka @schoolboy_hu for example, this guy tore the miniscus in his right knee earlier this year on January 4th, but this was no cause to give up lifting or use it as an excuse to be a potato.
He got himself sorted with the help of @captaingingerbeardlifts aka Alex from Your Health Sport & Spine and got back on... track with a rehab program.
Having not seen Jimmy in the last 3 months whilst I was away, I've kept tabs on his training through social media and it's been awesome watching him make a come back from afar.
Finally caught up this morning in house and it was great to see him squatting with such confidence after being given the all clear to load up.
It was something special and if that's not enough to inspire you to kick Monday in the nuts then nothing will.
Hope everyone has a solid training week.

Question time. What environment are you training in? When you smash a PB who are you surrounded by? The people training around you would you consider them family?
There are many factors that make up a great gym and here at @adonisathleticscastlehill we pride ourselves on having a family environment. Somewhere you can come on your worst day to feel your best. Somewhere you can be supported throughout your journey. Somewhere you can be challenge and pushed to be the best you ...can be. Somewhere where you leave smiling.
If this is something you’re unfamiliar with just watch this video of @theotherjonoray pulling his way into the 200kilo club and then watch the crew celebrating and congratulating him. If this isn’t something you are used to maybe you should pop in and gives us a visit to find out what it’s all about.
Well done Stingray, welcome to the club! #adonisathletics #adonisathleticspenrith #adonisathleticsgranville #adonisathleticscampbelltown #adonisathleticspaddington #wherethestrongbelong #powerlifting #strongman #weightlifting #family #crew #squat #bench #deadlift
