QL Active Release Technique and body weight + 40kg Chin








Here we have Active Release Technique in action on Justin Maguire (127kg), during a training session.  The lift demonstrated is during a set of 10 reps with the load being body weight + 40kg.  The release techniques demonstrated are part of the ongoing management of Maguire's condition.  The versatility and effectiveness of ART have helped this athlete push the boundaries of his physical capability, with increases in both volume and load often being achieved following treatment.

The ART demonstrated is releasing the QL.  As is evident, even with an athlete of this size, with correct positioning and technique, the release may be easily and effectively used.

18 month old, kettle bell PB


Here we have my daughter Isis achieving a PB with the kettle bell dead lift.  The angle and casual clothing worn by this young athlete doesn't allow the viewer to appreciate the quality of the squat pattern  demonstrated here!
