Hey Team 👋🏻 Episode 26 Is Now Live - Link to full episode - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/nerva-connects/id1745724292?i=1000711065485 We kick off this week’s episode with our signature 3 Weekly Questions—a quickfire reflection to check in, reset, and refocus. Then we dive deep into the core of effective training: understanding anatomy. In this episode, we break down why knowing how your body works isn’t just for physios and PTs—it's the foundation for better results. From the structure and function of key muscle groups to how they move and respond to load, we explore how anatomical awareness leads to smarter training choices, improved technique, and ultimately, better performance and physique outcomes. Whether you're a coach, athlete, or everyday lifter, this episode will give you the tools to train with intention and precision.

So keen for these next 6 weeks to show me routine and consistency .. and also how to turn my stove on. 😂 2 days in and motivated as helllllll

I grew up playing AFL. From early on, I was told, “Get in the gym or you’ll never make it.”That kind of comment used to light a fire in me-and to be honest, it still does. So, I hit the gym. Got stronger. Got fitter. But somewhere along the way, I realised it wasn’t the footy field that gave me purpose... it was the gym it was health. Performance. Growth. Helping others chase their potential. That passion turned into a business. My first ever client? She was 50kg overweight, going through menopause, and had every reason to throw in the towel-but she didn’t. She lost it all. Her story still gives me chills. I kept going. Eventually, I was so busy with face-to-face clients… but something felt off. People were training hard but not dialling in their nutrition. I wasn’t satisfied. So, I pivoted. Took everything online. Backed myself.Then I made the best decision yet-I moved to the ocean, to the Gold Coast, where I could coach better, live better, and breathe deeper. And I’ve been with Olivia since we were little kids. 15 and 16 years old (yep, she’s the cougar 😂).We’ve been through some testing times-one of the hardest being our journey to have a child. I had zero sperm.She had a low egg count.We were told, “This may never happen.”But we kept going now… we have our beautiful girl. And everything is sweeter because of the struggle. My values are simple:Help people feel genuinely good in a world that constantly tries to drain you. If losing fat makes you feel better-let’s go. If you need someone in your corner to talk to-I'm here. If you want to learn-I'll study with you. Right now, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. But this only works if you’re in it with me. My biggest goal? Grow this community into something we’re all proud of. A place where you’re heard. Supported. Seen. So tell me… what’s your story? Nothing’s TMI in here. Let’s go deep. 👇 @Sam McMahon @Michael Sharlassian @Michael Fletcher @Anum Qazi @Bhavya Nanjundappa @Domenique Elfar @Lisa Prentice you're up first.

Hello Everyone. Its Stephan Gau here, Excited to be part of this 6-week challenge with Lachy and the Nerva Plus crew. 🙋‍♂️ A little about me : I’ve been training consistently for the past 4 years, but took a break over the last 6 months. I’m jumping back in fresh with this challenge and keen to get back on track, build momentum, and take the guesswork out of my routine. 🎯 Current stats & goal : Sitting at 74kg and aiming to drop to around 67–68kg initially, with a longer-term goal of reaching 60–62kg. 🏃🏻‍♂️ Lifestyle : I work mostly from my laptop, so my day-to-day is pretty sedentary — my steps have been around 3–4k per day. I'm looking to steadily build back up to 10k daily and become more active again. I’m also the moderator here in the Nerva Plus Skool community, and I’ll be working with Lachy to help make this space more valuable for everyone. If you’ve got questions, need support, or just want to connect — I’m here to help. Let’s level up together 💪
