Informed Performance

This blog hopefully will be about the athletes I coach and how I coach them…that and a place for me to crap on and moan in equal measure.

I really have to stop leaving my camera around the gym

Posted by Will Heffernan on November 18, 2008


This guys username on the interweb is ‘21inchgunz’.

I hate it when people enjoy themselves in the gym.


Matt deserves an award…he did an awesome session tonight…I’m not sure what it was…I think it might have been a massive squat and or deadlifting session.

Matt really LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVES training legs.

Hey Diddle Diddle

Posted by Will Heffernan on October 28, 2008

Just wanted to say well done to Sextoy…mainly because like myself when I was his age it is clear for all to see that deep down inside of him like me is a fat man just waiting to get out. He’s done a great job taming his inner fat man this season.


When I saw him doing them all I could think of was this though.

More on the testing

Posted by Will Heffernan on September 24, 2008

I want to say well done to a few people in no particular order:

Firstly…well done to Mark ‘Sextoy’ Sexton…when he started training in the gym this year he was a hideous fat mess…he was wider across the arse than across the shoulders…he was basically a fat cow.

When he last did his rowing test back on the 26th of June he did the following:
182m, 169m, 156m, 141m, 130m, 138m for a 916m total.

Yesterday he went:
182m, 179m, 165m, 156m, 161m, 158m for a 1001m total.

He pretty much hit all his targets on all the rest of his testing…I also want to say well to Fanj who tested after Sextoy and preceded to beat all Sextoy’s results by whatever the bare minimum was to once again show every one just what sort of guy he is….unfortunately though for Fanj when I put all the results into the spreadsheet to work out the bodyweight relative scores Sextoy beat him in everything.

I also want to say well done to Paddington who after a 3 year taper managed to prove that age and clinical obesity are no impediment to outstanding sports performance.

Paddington is all over these Pull Ups previously in training…and yes…he did ask if he could use the band in testing.

I have to quickly go and do some more work but will do a bigger update this evening.
