She may not know it, but Emy is a bit of a cult figure at Citywide Fitness. She has also gained the rep of being the ‘First Lady of Leangains’. One thing is for sure though, Emy is a Fit Strong Mum. I wanted to find out how much was true and how mu...
Workout B – ECSTATIC Was quite nervous going into todays workout, had a special training partner today and I get nervous training in front of others. Especially on dead lift day, I find it hard to really focus and get in the zone, which I need to do to lift ...
Workout A – A2G Squats Felt great during todays session, nice deep, low squats, able to get hammy’s to calves and back up for 8 reps. Did attempt 50kg initially after my warm up set but came up very (r) leg dominant and my (l) leg was just coming along...
Workout B – Ending on a high, PB’s everywhere Wasn’t sure where to start on todays workout, clearly it was deadlift day but the thought of lifting 105 for reps was daunting. Spent a long time warming up today, rolling, mobility, stretching, time ...

Workout B – Deadlift Day Again started this session nervous, but some what calm, knowing I was about to attempt a PB on deadlifts. I love deadlifts but boy they are hard for me. Managed six pretty good reps but knew when I attempted my 7th that my technique ...
Workout A – RPT Squats Monday came around but even more quickly it was squat day again. I was mentally prepared to lift heavier this session and was definitely adding more weight to my squats. My quad had been feeling ok, I actually almost forgot it was slig...
Workout B – Deadlift Day Very nervous starting today’s workout, especially knowing that Monday’s Deadlifts were quite shaky, technique not good and didn’t feel smooth or comfortable at all. So I walked in today a little nervous and not sure...
Workout A – RPT Squats Again started the session slightly nervous about what the Quad could withstand. I bandaged up quite tightly, to the point where mobility as possibly slightly limited, maybe too tight, but it meant I didn’t feel too much pain hen ...
