Stop memorising muscles. Start remembering them. If you’re revising for Level 3 Anatomy & Physiology and the muscles keep blurring together, you’re not alone.

Struggling to learn muscles for your course? Here’s my game-changing advice! Put the manual down and step into action The best way to learn muscles isn’t by staring at a page... it’s by moving your body and experiencing how each muscle works in real life.

Learning muscles isn’t about memorising origins and insertions for the sake of knowledge... It’s about building the foundation of your decision-making as a fitness professional. Muscle anatomy directly determines the exercises you choose, the variables you manipulate, and the progressions you design.

Here's 3 Training Variables That Help Your Client Achieve Overload mid- set: 1️⃣ RATE = slow down the tempo of the repetition especially in the eccentric phase. This puts the muscles under tension for longer ⏱️... making it instantly harder i.e. on a press up; get your client to lower slowly to the floor, increasing the duration of the eccentric phase 2️⃣ R.O.M = Make the exercise harder by increasing range of movement. i.e. On a press up, get the nose to the floor, on a squat, lower another inc

Ever corrected a client 10 times and they STILL don’t get it? There’s a reason...and the fix is surprisingly simple. You’re not doing anything wrong… You’re likely just using the wrong type of coaching cues. Most FITPROs default to internal cues, which rely on the client having great body awareness — something many beginners simply don’t have.
