More solid questions coming in this week, and covering a good spectrum too.
I’m also getting the hang of things on Instagram Live, and the supporting images work better this week – my head doesn’t get in the way for a start!
In this second episode of the Q&A I’m asked…
- Tiger Balm vs Namman Muay Oil
- Solving shoulder pain when performing pull ups (palms away)
- If the focus of the block is strength, what should the Conditioning be like?
- If you had two training sessions per day, what type of training would you do?
- Do you think bodyweight is enough for strength training?
- What are your top principles when it comes to S&C for Muay Thai?
- Can you replace shuttle runs with 5k runs if you have no fight coming up?
- What protocols would you use to maximise greater Motor Unit recruitment?
- Favourite GPP (General Physical Preparedness) work on an out of (fight) camp block?
All those links will take you to the relevant section of the YouTube video version of the Q&A if you want to jump straight to a point of interest.
If you’re on a mobile device and a vertical IGTV version is your preferred option…

Every so often, an opportunity emerges that can redefine how we train, fight, and thrive.
Today marks one such epic day. The coveted Heavy Hitters Barebones program is swinging its doors open – a golden chance that surfaces just twice a year.
Why does this matter for every western Muay Thai enthusiast, fighter, or coach?
Why Heavy Hitters is Different:
– Streamlined Efficiency: The life of a Muay Thai enthusiast, coach, or fighter, especially in the West, is brimming with demands. Heavy Hitters understands that. No need for endless hours. You need potent, impactful hours. This program is your answer.
– Real-world Results: From enthusiasts in Australia to champions in the USA, the feedback is unanimous – Heavy Hitters changes the game. Take it from Paul Banasiak:
“From broke and broken to moving and competing better than ever. Since working with Don 3 years ago, I haven’t had a single major issue. Don gave me the confidence that has translated itself into three straight knockout wins and a WBC title.”
– Holistic Training: It’s not merely about more power in your punches or lasting longer. It’s about cultivating a body that’s nimble, powerful, and resistant to injuries.
– Be Part of Something Greater: Beyond the program lies a fraternity, a global assembly of like-minded souls, all driven by the singular passion to redefine their Muay Thai boundaries.
If tales of triumph intrigue you, delve deeper into Jonathan Lane’s saga – from grappling with an ACL recovery amid fatherhood to clinching the MTA NSW State Title. His secret weapon? The Heavy Hitters program.
Seize your golden chance to embark on this Muay Thai odyssey. Remember, the doors to Heavy Hitters Barebones will shut on Dec 31st and won’t swing open again until April 2024. But here’s the silver lining – even if you’re not geared up to start immediately, you can reserve your spot in this cohort and initiate your journey whenever you’re primed.
