F.I.S.H. Goes Limited




F.I.S.H. has now started the process of becoming a limited company - Fitness Instruction for Strength & Health Limited. Presently we are operating as sole traders, Priority Principle and Inspire Fitness. Once the limited company is operating we will be approaching other Personal Trainers about using the studio.

The cable crossover is now assembled and the studio is now fully functioning. We have ordered a preacher curl bench and dip bars and are awaiting the delivery of safety pins for the power rack.

Training in the studio is proving to be sheer luxury. It's nice to be able to perform supersets, tri-sets and even giant sets without losing the equipment mid-way. Derek and Chutney have been meticulously recording loading, tempo and time under tension and thus progressing at each and every workout. We have two more weeks of mixed strength and hypertrophy to go before moving on to Poliquin's German Body Comp Program for six weeks prior to a maximum strength phase.

Melody has started a three day split and is already starting to rediscover the definition she had before Christmas. Nutrition is improving all the time and the new trade account with Tropicana is proving very popular - particularly as there is no minimum order (Maximuscle insisted on at least £300 per order). The combination of EFA capsules and CLA is proving effective and we have both started on Hydroxycut Hardcore, the new version of the fat stripper we both employed whilst in Australia a few years ago.

Best achievement so far must go to Jon Martin who is now doing parallel squats with a three second eccentric and explosive concentric phase. We have been working on form for a few weeks and it is now close to perfect. He's currently up to 47.5kg but will rapidly increase the load now that the range of motion and technique have developed.
