15/06/2024 - Enjoying the brief bit of sun before the rain came... New PB with the monster dumbbell this morning, 48kg overhead after several warmup sets. Still early days with this lift, but hoping to be the right side of 50kg before long... #gym #rainham #medway #kent #independentgym #weightlifting #strongman #strongwoman #strength #strengthandconditioning #healthandfitness #menshealth #womenshealth #bestrong @amazon24fitnessmedway

A fab PB for the big man @ben_thepowerhouse .. it’s taken a while due to a sticky shoulder but easing up a 155kg bench is a good days work.. He was happy about it lol.. If you only knew this man’s journey in the last 5 years, he is a very different man to the one I first met.. Disciplined and committed to his goals.. 💪🏻💪🏻 #weightlifting #personaltrainer #personaltraining #coaching #athlete #powerlifting #benchpress #gym #fitness #strengthtraining #strong #bestrong #mensfitness #mindset #mentalhealth #muscle #nutrition #amazon24fitness

Amazon24 on tour - Nuclear Fit - 12/05/2024 - What a great day out! Fantastic weather and superb performances from each of our doubles partners who entered into the competition. 6 strength and endurance exercise stations, each one completed after a 1km cross-country run - carrying milk churns, pulling weighted sleds, throwing heavy sacks over beams, and plenty more. Each of our doubles smashed the lot, showing grit and determination in 25°c heat. Different ages, different backgrounds, different abilities - not only in the Amazonian teams, but across all the athletes participating in the event - really highlighting the inclusivity of sport and fitness - as it should be. Teams of people competing not against eachother, but against themselves to prove they can do whatever they turn their minds to. A great atmosphere and definitely the most enjoyable event I've been to. So, congratulations to our Amazonians, you did yourselves proud. For some it was about doing it in a certain time, for some it was just proving they could cross the finish line. Whatever the goal, you all did brilliantly, and made the Amazon coaches very proud! We'll be back at the gym next Sunday, 8.30am, training for the next challenge, whatever it may be...

03/04/2024 - Time to start improving pressing power. Since switching over to Strongman-style training, I've come to realise that my shoulders need to be a lot stronger. With powerlifting, there's no overhead lifting so the shoulders are more of a support act. With Strongman, they're front and centre. New programming from @amazon24fitnessmedway to start turning those shoulders into boulders... #gym #rainham #medway #kent #strength #strengthandconditioning #weightlifting #strongman #powerlifting #bestrong #beyou #amazon24fitness

20/03/2024 - Really pushing forwards with squats now, up to 180kg for 5 reps on my last set this morning - first time I've managed that. The first rep was a bit ropey, but then I got into a rhythm and got 4 more out quite smoothly. Onwards and upwards... #gym #rainham #medway #kent #squat #legday #powerlifting #powerlifter #weightlifting #strongman #strength #strengthandconditioning #bestrong #beyou #amazon24fitness @amazon24fitnessmedway

16/03/2024 - 100kg sandbag to shoulder for the first time this morning. I've been trying this for a couple of weeks now, but the technique finally clicked today - another 4 went up after this! #gym #rainham #medway #kent #strongman #strength #strengthandconditioning #powerlifter #powerlifting #weightlifting #amazon24fitness #bestrong #beyou

08/03/2024 - A play with the log this evening, finishing with a cheeky PB - only 1kg up on the last one, but it's been a long week... 91kg feeling easier to get up tonight than 90kg did a couple of months ago. Probably could have done a couple of kilograms more, but decided to jump up to a 100kg attempt after this video. Got it to the chest, but couldn't press it. Should've been a bit more sensible and tried for 95kg. Next time... #gym #rainham #medway #kent #strength #strengthandconditioning #strongman #strongwoman #logpress #weightlifting #bestrong #beyou @amazon24fitnessmedway

21/02/2024 - Giving the 4.8 metre bar a tickle with the new @cerberus_strength throwing bag this morning, the latest addition to the Strongman training kit here at @amazon24fitnessmedway . Classes every Sunday morning at 0945, playing with the big toys under supervision of an experienced coach - everyone welcome! Come along and unleash your inner beast 💪🏻 #gym #rainham #medway #kent #strength #strengthandconditioning #strongman #strongwoman #weightlifting #powerlifting #gymclass #bestrong #beyou

08/02/2024 - You wait ages for a PB, and then 3 come along in one session! Bench press PB has been stuck at 135kg for quite a while, but some big changes over the past few months have really kicked the muscles into gear. After a few warm-up lifts, I went for 140kg - it went up and felt easy. So, onto 145kg - again, went up, felt easy. When I walked into the gym this morning, I thought 150kg was more fantasy than reality, but after the previous 2 lifts I thought I'd have a decent shot and, sure-enough, up it went. Great session, and nice when you put a smile on your coach's face too 😁 Coaching and programming by @amazon24fitnessmedway . #gym #rainham #medway #kent #powerlifter #powerlifting #benchpress #strongman #strength #strengthandconditioning #weightlifting #1RM #PB #bestrong #beyou

05/02/2024 - After a couple of weeks of training without the squat suit for various reasons, it was back to it this morning. A lower box to work on getting better depth as the suit breaks in, and some more weight on the bar too - up to 175kg for 5 reps today. Still a bit more work to do, but practice makes progress... A few conditioning exercises after this, then finished the session with some 25 metre yoke walk lengths - 2 at 240kg, 3 at 260kg. Good session, legs knackered, time to refuel and recover. #gym #rainham #medway #kent #powerlifting #powerlifter #equippedpowerlifting #squat #strength #strengthandconditioning #weightlifting #strongman #fitness #bestrong #beyou
