If you’ve trained at Sixty7Six Strength & Conditioning, you’ve probably noticed that many of our strength sessions include supersets . A superset simply means performing two exercises back-to-back within the same working window. But there’s a reason we use them so often. Supersets allow our members to build strength efficiently while working complementary muscle groups . By pairing movements together, athletes can train one muscle group while another recovers, allowing them t

Balance isn’t a straight line. It doesn’t sit neatly in the middle, perfectly even day after day. It moves more like waves — some days work takes over, other days family needs more of you, and sometimes your energy just isn’t where you want it to be. And the truth is, you may never get it “right” all the time. But within those waves, there are seasons where things feel more aligned. Where your routine flows, your energy feels steady, and life feels a little easier to manage.

When people first try pull-ups or chest-to-bar pull-ups, the most common mistake we see is simple: they try to pull with their arms. Biceps tighten. Forearms burn. The movement becomes inefficient and frustrating. Many people assume they simply “aren’t strong enough.” But the truth is that pull-ups aren’t an arm movement. They’re a back movement . Recently in class we were working with one of our members, Gareth, on a chest-to-bar drill using a box-assisted pull-up . This is

On May 17th , the Sixty7Six Games will bring athletes together for a day of competition, community, and a whole lot of fun. But this isn’t just another competition with the usual prizes. We wanted to create something that reflects what Sixty7Six is really about — community, local connections, and celebrating effort. That means the podium prizes are going to look a little different. Instead of the typical gym giveaways, we’ve lined up a range of prizes that include: • Hills ex

The Sixty7Six Games are officially happening on May 17th , and we couldn’t be more excited to bring a brand new style of competition to the Perth fitness community. This event has been designed to feel different from the typical local competition. One of the biggest differences? The workouts will not be released until the night before the event .

When we think about wisdom, we often imagine it arriving in a big, defining moment — a breakthrough, a lesson learned the hard way, or a piece of advice that changes everything at once. But in reality, wisdom rarely shows up like that. Most of the time, it arrives quietly, hidden inside the everyday experiences that shape who we become. It’s in the small moments where we pause and realise we handled something differently than we would have a year ago. It’s in the patience we’

The Sixty7Six Games are coming on May 17th , and we wanted to make sure every athlete who steps onto the competition floor feels appreciated. That’s why every registered athlete will receive a Sixty7Six Games goodie bag . And it’s not just a token gift.

🏋️ Why Olympic Lifting Makes You Stronger Olympic lifting isn’t just about lifting a barbell overhead. It’s one of the best ways to develop power, strength, coordination, and confidence in your body . Movements like the clean, snatch and jerk  train your body to move as one powerful system. Here’s why we include Olympic lifting at Sixty7Six: ⚡ Full Body Strength Every lift uses your legs, core, back, shoulders and arms together. ⚡ Power Development Olympic lifts teach you to

One of the most effective ways to build resilient shoulders is also one of the simplest: remove momentum. In recent classes at Sixty7Six, we’ve been focusing on the strict seated shoulder press — and it’s intentional. Why Seated? When you press standing, it’s easy to rely on leg drive. A slight dip can turn a strict press into a push press without you even realising it. By sitting down, we eliminate that option. No leg momentum. No hip drive. No compensations. This forces the

Life hands all of us a mix of things—good days, difficult moments, unexpected setbacks, and small wins that sometimes go unnoticed. We don’t always get to choose what happens. Work gets stressful, plans change, people disappoint us, and things don’t always go the way we imagined. What we do  get to choose is what we carry with us afterwards. Do we carry resentment, frustration, and the weight of every bad moment? Or do we carry the lessons, the perspective, and the parts that

If you’ve ever felt stuck with your cleans, chances are it’s not a strength problem. It’s a position problem. One of the most common mistakes athletes make with Olympic lifting is adding weight before mastering the foundations. The clean is a fast, technical lift. When positions aren’t consistent, the lift feels heavy, unstable, and unpredictable — even at moderate loads. At Sixty7Six, we take a different approach. We build the lift from the ground up. Step 1: Control Before

Life doesn’t just happen to you — you are shaping it, slowly, intentionally, sometimes without even realising. Every choice, every reaction, every standard you hold is a small chisel mark. At the same time, life shapes you. The hard conversations. The pressure. The repetition. The discipline. The joy. You are constantly becoming — not all at once, not dramatically — but gradually. The person you are today is not fixed. And the person you are becoming is being shaped in the or

You walk in and see sumo deadlift high pulls on the board. The name alone sounds intense. You wonder — am I doing it right? Will this hurt my back? So we slow it down.Feet wide, hands inside, knees tracking over toes. We run through 10 smooth deadlifts. Arms long. Chest tall. It’s a squat, not a hinge. We move with purpose, not panic. Then we add in the high pull. Drive through your legs, squeeze your glutes, elbows to the ceiling. Now it’s making sense — movement feels stron

Do you want to move better under the barbell? It starts before the workout even begins. Our first Olympic lifting class at Sixty7Six was a hit — not just because we got to throw some weight around, but because we focused on something that often gets rushed: the warm-up. A proper barbell warm-up sets the tone for your entire lifting session. It’s where you prepare the body, dial in the positions, and shift your brain from autopilot into intention . Why Warm-Ups Matter When we’

For a lot of us, progress has been tied to pressure. “I should be further ahead.” “I need to make up for last week.” “I’ve let myself go.” Shame can push you into action — but it rarely builds something sustainable. It creates urgency, not alignment. And while you might move forward for a while, it doesn’t feel good. It feels heavy. There’s another way. Progress built on self-respect lasts longer. Progress built on curiosity feels lighter. Progress built on care actually stre

Do you want to know one of the most important reasons women should lift weights? Osteoporosis. W omen are four times more likely  than men to develop osteoporosis — a condition where bones become weak, brittle, and more likely to fracture. This risk increases dramatically after menopause due to a drop in estrogen, which helps protect bone density. But here’s the good news: Strength training is one of the most effective ways to protect your bones. When you lift weights, your m

You can want more without hating where you are. You can chase a goal without resenting the present. You can improve your body without criticising it. You can build your life without wishing it away. The gym teaches this quietly. You can push for heavier lifts while still being proud of today’s effort. You can work toward financial goals while still appreciating what you have. You can aim higher without living in constant dissatisfaction. Ambition doesn’t have to steal your pe

Do you think scaling means doing less ? It’s time to rethink that.
