Good better best never let it rest until your good is better and your better best.
A little about me...
I am a personal/online coach based out of Sharpe Athletic in Fitzroy, Melbourne. My job is to find out what keeps you active within the gym so your training is enjoyable and optimized for your goals. I can offer face-to-face training where I can develop an understanding of your biomechanics and determine an optimal training routine for you to follow to attain your goals. I also offer online coaching with programs built to progressively overload your training, skillset, and work capacity.I am a coach who thoroughly enjoys pushing my physical ability to optimize how I perform in aspects outside of the gym as well as in powerlifting.Below I discuss the process that I undergo with my clients, have a read…

Your introduction to progressive overload.
The hardest part of getting yourself into an enjoyable training routine is getting up and going to the gym. You may be intimidated or just low on motivation due to a lack of routine and or progress or you are just missing the vital component of having fun.
Diversity:
Incorporating a variety of stability/strength building techniques, to determine what you enjoy most.
Fun:
If the workout isn’t enjoyable, are you going to be that inclined to want to come back and do it again?
My Process
Dream it:
It all begins with a goal. Maybe you want to run faster, jump higher, recover from an injury or just learn how to enjoy weight training.
Develop it:
This is where an organised training scheme can be designed to help develop your goals into strengths.
Discipline it:
More isn’t always better…
Developing a strategic program that will be tailored to fit the individual’s optimisation of progressive overload, will incite a response that will be easy for the body to recover from while still providing improvements week to week.

"At the start, I wasn't very sure on what I wanted from the gym. After a couple of sessions, I was hooked and we started the basic fundamentals of powerlifting, getting the technique down packed before doing serious weight."
"I could barely do 12 bodyweight squats now I'm managing 10 reps and 3 sets of 65kgs, deadlift I'm now lifting 80kg and when I started struggled with bar weight. A big dream of mine has always been to do a bodyweight pull, never ever been able to do one I can now do them thanks to Duncan's encouragement and training. I have now lost 85kgs since my surgery and a big part of that is from training with Duncan weekly.”

Progression & Integration
Progression:
Over time the programming & training which I conduct will be designed to evoke enjoyment and progressive overload in the direction of your goals.
This may be 2kg added to your squat weekly over 14-weeks, which equates to 28kg added to your maximal effort.
People generally experience this when they first enter the gym and design their own programming but experience depreciating returns after the 3-week mark, where they begin to lose their motivation.
This is where an experienced coach adapts their programming and integrates appropriate exercises to evoke progressive overload.
Balancing the enjoyment of exercise while pushing out of your comfort zone.
I believe there is an optimal zone of training intensity in between overtraining, this is my job as a coach to assess this and ensure that you can hit this optimal intensity every session to attain your goals as safely and as fast as possible.
I have the strong belief that strength training when done to a sustainable high intensity strengthens mental well being as well as physical and allows you obtain a greater state of neuroplasticity, which is the further development of your mental capabilities.
Making dreams reality
Making Dreams reality.
Rome wasn’t built in a day…
I know that sounds cliché
But I strongly believe in only pursuing things within your control:
Being accountable for things such as the calories which you intake and burn on a daily basis.
Accounting for progress within the gym with recordings and strategic overloading of strength movements to develop your muscular endurance.
Regularly setting attainable and realistic goals.
But most importantly staying consistent…
