| (Will Wayland just getting started) |
With over 25 people attending this informative, interactive and FUN session - I have to say that it far exceeded my expectations. I always knew that it would be great. However, what made it extra special was the level of engagement and participation for those who attended. Also, the gratitude that myself and Will were shown from those who attended.
FUN!
Women with barbells - I am very proud of this photo as it it is one of the key visions for the club
I love to constantly challenge the norm and ask why? looking for the next step or progression. These banded kettlkebell swings are great, and when assisted with the "hand of Will" as you will see in the clip, ups the game in relation to intensity and was a total surprise for Mungo...
I want to share some feedback that Neil Troutman from http://velocityindoorcyclingprogram.net/ gave following the session:
...."It's not all about the bike. So finally after recovering from Cindy I just wanted to mention this seminar that I attended Mi-gym.com with Physical Preparation Coach William Wayland from http://www.powering-through.com/ . On the use of Bands and Chains. ...I'm not going to go into much detail here, but two things I wanted to mention.
Youtube is not learning. Going and hearing and seeing the experts in action is. Being able to ask questions is invaluable and getting to share the experience as a group is priceless. Also whilst other gyms may hold a seminar on what we should eat, why we shouldn't smoke. Rachel Young put on a seminar which would not just benefit her team but also the family around her. There are too many horrific sights in gyms as PT's and members watch something or someone else training and try and copy it without understanding why and what benefit it has. What benefits one person may not necessarily benefit you. We all have different area's of strengths and weakness. If you want to learn attend courses and seminars. Remember if you only ever learn one thing then its money well spent. Thanks"

| Thanks Big! - here's to many more... |
It is actually interesting, sad, confusing, perhaps really exciting to think that there are a bunch of "non fitness" qualified people out there today who have a FAR greater understanding and want for knowledge, than most trainers in traditional fitness clubs! (don't get me started on that one, that is a whole other blog)!
I am going to leave you with one little video that to me is of great value; watch and listen (carefully as my sound is not that good) Will hits the nail on the head for me in this section; its about EVERYone, there is not a one size fits all aproach; to athletes, fit people, fat people; its about the basics, establishing firm foundations and that people are PEOPLE..
In Summary: Epic!
Have a look at this link if you want to see some more of the photos taken that day:

Will Wayland is a physical preparation coach, a former Sports Science Lecturer and a fitness contributor to Love 2 FIght, Scramblog and JUMP magazine. He is passionate passionate about strength, fitness and Martial arts. I am VERY proud to have Will training himself and some of his athletes at mi-gym.com since we opened. This guy has so much knowledge and experience, he is always willing to share. In my opinion he is an officer and a gentleman and a total breath of fresh air! (...he is also a great bloke)!
Will is hosting the above "Band and Chain" seminar for us, so here is a little back ground on what will be covered on the day....
One of the past decades most significant advancement in strength training is the principle of “accommodating resistance”, effectively the use of bands and chains to up training intensity, add variation, challenge and help trainees smash through plateau’s.
Bands and chains certainly look cool to boot, but people are
often put off by not understanding how or why we should or even need to use
such training implements.
Accommodating resistance and you!
Sports science god Vladmir Zatsiorsiky defines accommodating
resistance as ..."using special means to accommodate resistance throughout the entire range of motion rather than a specific point".

For example you may be able to quarter squat 150kg but only full squat 100kg. Bands and Chains make the weight on the bar lightest when we are in our weakest position.
This allows us to accelerate into the movement. If you want to be stronger creating maximum tension is key! Bands and Chains can applied in a huge number of ways, giving a ton of variation in your training program.
