#Reformance

Congratulations to Reformance Athlete David H. (@powholifting) on his recent performance at the Cambridge Summer Smash! After a three year hiatus, David returns to the platform and finished second in the u75kg division. Squat: 210kg (2.5kg PB) Bench: 137.5kg Deadlift: 227.5kg Total: 575kg (5kg PB) A little rusty on the platform but we’re happy to see David kick the competition season off with a nice total PB! Well done, David! Coach: @alfred.reformance #Reformance #TeamReformance #Ateam

repost @alfred.reformance Should women training differently than men? The principles behind muscle growth and strength apply to both men and women. Men’s and women’s muscles respond to resistance training through hypertrophy and neural adaptations, but these adaptation processes are not gender specific. While some anatomical and physiological differences between genders may impact program design, such as the exercise selection, volume, and intensity, they are more specific to individual needs rather gender differences. One example that often comes to mind is hormonal differences. Men generally have higher testosterone levels than women. Therefore, it’s expected that men would have a significant advantage in muscle growth and strength gains. However, the influence of testosterone on muscle growth may not be as significant as once thought. Testosterone levels affect how much muscle mass one starts with, but it doesn’t significantly affect how fast one can grow that muscle relatively. Men may see more significant absolute gains because they have more muscle, but the rate of growth relative to their starting point is similar to that of women. That said,hormonal differences between genders, coupled with distinct fat storage and muscle-building patterns, might affect training focus or aesthetic goals, but it does not fundamentally alter the training’s approach. Rather than asking whether women need to train differently from men, the focus should be on how any individual can best train to meet their unique goals. Effective training lies in a person’s ability to respond to training, their fitness level, health status, and personal preferences. In the grand scheme of things, the potential for growth and progress is more dependent on the individual rather than their gender.

Online Athlete Leo @lionheart_pl coached by @kedrictsg #200iqcoach is one of the 20 @pbphysio athletes that competed last weekend with this sick comp video by @trailblaze.me with Leo pulling for the win 🥇. This tank competed the week before and then again 6 days later bringing the 🔥 to the Effectus Cup in Queensland totalling a HUGE 735kgs total at 73.9kgs bodyweight showing why he is number 1 Raw drug yested in Australia. ⠀ ⠀ Clutch execution , focused and in control to the very end. Thank you for trusting me as a physio working with your epic coach Kedric to bring out your best 👌🏽 2022🚀🚀🚀🌕 Reposted @lionheart_pl 🗡 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗱𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 🦁 “𝕀𝕣𝕠𝕟 𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕡𝕖𝕟𝕤 𝕀𝕣𝕠𝕟“ 🎥 Footage Courtesy: @trailblaze.me @uarenotbob 🇦🇺 @australianpowerliftingunion 🤝 @hansupoweraus ‘LEO5’ 🤝 @rpstrength ‘LEO’ 🤝 @titanaustralia 🧠 @kedrictsg #200IQCoach 🧠 @powerlifting_physio #BalanceIsKey 🤯 These legendary footage are waaay to good to not be uploaded. Hopefully my subpar editing skills did not butcher it 😂 🍀This was the last pull I need to win. I had zero doubts I am going to pull this even after I missed 310kg less than a week before due to uncontrollable - unfortunate physical conditions (will discuss sometime soon) ☑️ A lot goes through this prep and if you know by now you know the emotional buildup before the outburst. It was ecstatic to experience such fervour of emotional outburst 🏔 🐉 If you watch DBZ you could probably relate how this moment allegorically represents what Goku did before he ‘almost’ got knocked off from the Tournament of Power. 📈 I’m keen to know my top end numbers now knowing that I have to be conservative to put up a respectable total for Collates beforehand 🚀 #IPF #Worlds #Powerlifting #Squat #Bench #Deadlift #athlete #meetday #competition #Reformance #Team200IQ #HansuPowered #RPStrength #TitanSupportSystem #pbathlete #pwrlft #squat #bench #deadlift #strong #champ

The purpose of arching during bench press is create stability and tension through the upper back. You’re also aligning the torso in such a way that allows you to be in a more mechanically advantageous position to press. However, many athlete tend to lose their position and tension as they set up because they’re not properly wedged into the bench. “Wedging” refers to a technique used to create a strong and stable body position on the bench that maximizes power transfer. Keep watching to learn more! #Reformance #ReformanceTraining #benchpress #wedging #powerlifting #strengthtraining

Injury rates in powerlifting range from about 1 to 4.4 injuries per 1,000 hours of training—low compared to many other sports. However, this doesn’t mean injuries don’t occur. There are still times when pain or minor niggles reduce performance. The most inconvenient time for this is during the final 4–6 weeks of competition prep. This period is when an injury can most strongly disrupt an athlete’s confidence heading into a meet. As an athlete, it can feel like all hope is lost—that the PBs you aimed for are out the window and all your training was for nothing. This mindset can reinforce those outcomes and may increase the likelihood of a poor meet. After taking 24–48 hours to process the situation, shift your focus toward what you can control. Work with your coach to adjust the program and seek outside support (e.g., physiotherapy) to address contributing factors to the pain. On game day, take one lift at a time and select loads that reflect your current capacity. Realistically, that’s all you can do in any competition. Negative emotions often arise when expectations don’t align with current circumstances, so adjust your expectations to match your situation and give yourself the best chance of a positive outcome. You can’t change the past—so keep pushing toward a better future. #Reformance #ReformanceTraining #Comp #powerlifting #BecksCorner

It’s been a long minute since a deadlift PR. Happy with this block’s results. 🤝 Squat: 125KG (PR) Bench: 68KG (PR) Deadlift: 150KG (PR) Today’s Training total: 343KG 145, 147.5 할까 고민 하다가 150 에라이모르겠다 해버린 날 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 그래도 셋다 피알 건졌다 🎊 #소듕한피알 Coach: @alfred.reformance Nutrition: @kedric.reformance @reformancetraining @strongirls.official #strongirls #reformancetraining #reformance #데드리프트 #스모데드리프트 #sumodeadlift #스트롱걸즈 #파워리프팅 #스트렝스 #deadlifttillimdead #sbdday #deadliftpr #prcity

repost @alfred.reformance It’s always been taught that deadlifting with a rounded back is dangerous and drastically increases the risk of injury, particularly in the lumbar spine. An extended or neutral spine is always encouraged. Upon further investigation, the supporting evidence for a rounded back increasing injury risk in humans appears to be limited. In one paper, there was no evidence to support the use of advice or training in working techniques with or without lifting equipment to prevent back pain or consequent disability in workers in physical professions (PMID: 18244957). Considering the length-tension (L-T) relationship of muscle, the amount of tension produced by a muscle is a feature of its length. When tested under isometric conditions, the maximal force produced or measured will differ as the muscle lengthens or shortens, with the midpoint potentially being more optimal for force production. A rounded or flexed back may allow the hips to get closer to the bar, reducing the torque requirement that the hips and glutes need to overcome. A decreased torque requirement means you can lift heavier weights. So what does this mean? Stay tuned for our next biomechanics post, where we discuss the details of deadlifting with a rounded back! #Reformance #ReformanceTraining #deadlift #biomechanics #powerlifting #backpain #lowbackpain #backhealth
