Powerlifting on the Gold Coast

Posted on Thursday, 26 January 2012 in General RAW

For all your Strength and Conditiong, CrossFit, Strongman and Powerlifting needs contact RAW


Where do you test yourself? Against the clock........... hmmmm sometimes, the clock can trick you................... the track, yeah but the terrain was uneven..................... The CrossFit gym.............. yeah but "old mate was doing half reps"..............

 

Heard the saying "The Iron Never Lies" Henry Rollins quote. I will copy the whole quote at the end. HOWEVER............... Weight is weight. It can be your friend or your enemy but you can always ALWAYS test yourself against the iron. You can lift heavy sh!t right here at RAW

Gold Coast Strongman training

Posted on Wednesday, 25 January 2012 in General RAW

For periodised and specific CrossFit/strength and conditioning programs subscribe to RAW

 

So where on the Gold Coast do you strongman? I can tell you know there are not many places to do it. I know there is a place at Nerang, but that is not generally open to the public. You can deadlift with crap bars and broken plates and Fitness First. You can go to your average CrossFit box and mess around with oversized bumper plates to make you look stronger than you are................. Or you can come to RAW and play with real strongman gear.

ON THE GOLD COAST: NEW TO RAW (Tallai)?

Posted on Monday, 23 January 2012 in General RAW

RAW STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING IS DEDICATED TO PROGRAMMING AND TRAINING ADVANCED STRENGTH AND POWER ATHLETES ON THE GOLD COAST.

 

RAW is a strength and conditioning facility located on the Gold Coast, QLD. RAW focuses on developing the fundamental skill sets and energy systems required to excel at CrossFit as a sport. RAW also provides programs and educational information for athletes and coaches who live outside of the Gold Coast area OR attend RAW strength and conditioning themselves.

 

  • RAW SUBSCRIPTION PROGRAMMING is for those athletes and coaches who want to take their training and their athletes to the next level. The subscription is ONLY for those who will follow the program via correspondence as they live outside the Gold Coast region.
  • RAW is unlike any other program available. Sure every program has its chinks, weaknesses and short comings but RAW has taken every conceivable effort to create a well rounded, specific, periodised training protocol
  • The RAW WORKOUTS take your CrossFitting or sports conditioning to another level. Gone are the days of a haphazard mash up of exercise routines bundled into a "CrossFit" package where all you get is your sweat on, poor movement patterns and an addiction for pointless untransferable metabolic conditioning. RAW focuses on training crucial aspects of lifts, key movements, exercise structure/progression and periodisation through the CrossFit season and in deed other sporting seasons.
  • SINCE WHEN does one play more rugby, or more netball to get better at rugby or netball????? You can not play 3 games mid week and hope to be that much better on competition day. This is what typical CrossFit does. RAW trains in CrossFit to be BETTER at CrossFit. More CrossFit does not equal better CrossFit. Smarter training, smarter recoveyr, smarter progression and periodisation equals better CrossFit.
