If you’re just starting out on your fitness journey, you might be wondering how to build up your upper body strength. One exercise that’s great for beginners is the modified knee push-up. Here are some benefits of this exercise:
💥Builds upper body strength: Knee push-ups target your chest, shoulders, and triceps, helping to build your upper body strength over time.
💥Reduces risk of injury: Because knee push-ups are less intense than full push-ups, they’re a great option if you’re recovering from an injury or have joint pain.
💥Helps you progress: Once you’ve built up enough strength, you can gradually transition to full push-ups.
To perform a knee push-up, start in a plank position with your knees on the ground and your hands shoulder-width apart. Lower your body down until your chest nearly touches the ground, then push back up.
If you need help with getting started, feel free to send me a DM. 🔥

Here's what one of my clients have to say! 🙌
"Adriaan's knowledge, experience and attention to detail make for great training sessions. I thoroughly enjoy reaping the benefits during our sessions and remembering the work that needed to happen in-between."
Thanks, Jessica! 🔥
Staying on the methodology of Accommodating Resistant (AR), this time with Westside Barbell and Purple Bands a side, adding 60kg per band.
💥 When doing deadlifts with AR training, I prefer resistance bands over chains.

'If you want to train with someone that pushes you to be your best, then Adriaan is the man for the job!'
Thanks, Isadora! Appreciate the kind words and support! 💪
Let's talk gym bag essentials 🎒
My top 5 items are:
💥 Wraps - to help support, stabilise and prevent hyperextension of joints during heavy lifting sets.
💥 Sleeves - when made from neoprene, they help to provide heat to joint and aid recovery.
💥 Mouth Guard - helps some athletes when they are exerting heavy loads to protect their teeth when biting down.
💥 Ammonia Salts - used right before lifts for an immediate increase in focus and performance.
💥 Chalk - acts as a drying agent to absorb any moisture and help improve grip while lifting.

Let’s talk Donkey Kicks 🔥
💥 Outside of the obvious glute benefits such as lifting the glutes, this exercise also help with stability.
💥 This technique also activate the glutes for the rest of the workout - that’s why we perform them at the start of the session.
Got any questions? DM me if you need any advice.
Accommodating Resistance (AR) is a training technique that may improve strength and power gains beyond those achieved by traditional free weights. 💪🏻⛓️
💥In this method, chains or bands are added to a free weight bar as it coincides with the strength curve.
💥This means that your tension of weight will be highest at the point where you are strongest (top of the squat in this case) and lowest where you are weakest (bottom of squat).
Need guidance or advice? Feel free to DM me to talk through.
Hi Everyone!
In celebration of the new year - we've rebranded from Thundergod Fitness to ROARFIT.
Excited to share more content over the next coming days with you all!
11 ton crane pull those 2m wheels makes the pull amazingly hard.
Good day, I will being doing a series of videos, focusing of strength and performance training specifically with women in mind. If any one is interested keep an eye out on my page or when Lindy "steals" and shares it, thank you.
A video about chains in training the why, what and for who plus a VERY SPECIAL guest at the end announcing her first comp.
Some strapless, chalkless farmers walks to really engage and fire up the the forearms, trapezius, rhomboid major and minor as wall to a lesser degree the latissimus dorsi. Quads, core and trunk are also engaged in the entire movement.
Do not be "that" person, move the weight the whole range of motion. Your ego is NOT going to win you competitions or get you results.
Highlights from the Strong4life - Standing Strong Against Abuse - fundraiser for the Reeva Rebecca Steenkamp Foundation that took place in December 2016.
At this time I am under the weight just breathing and bracing in prep for the yoke.
When reflecting on my competitive and training journey it is always pleasant to view linear strength progression within my lifts and events, also considering that it is done naturally over a chronological period.
Funny to think this was a "heavy yoke", lol.Now we walk 350 to 380 kg yokes.
That CTICC event was super fun.
I fell to the finnish line, facepalm.
Log at the CTICC twas a fun day.
When Andre and I were young men.
