There are a lot of variables that go into what may be your true 1 rep max. Beyond how much strength you have, psychological factors can go into determining your success at it (more on this later). In this article, we explore Strength Level's 1RM calculator and how you can use it for your own [...]

A couple of weeks ago, I asked ChatGPT to write an exercise programme for my client. I then compared it against what I have planned for the client for the session. As a chiropractor, I can say the result was actually not bad. Out of the five exercises I asked for, three were usable. However, [...]

We are super honored to have given a workshop at Yu Neng Primary School just this past week. It was amazing to see that a school has a gym setup available for their staff to use, and even more amazed by the interest the participants had towards strength training. We think this is super important [...]

Most people think seeing a chiropractor in Singapore is a bad idea because you have to keep coming back. What if I told you that that is a lie?

We can make predictions about what is most likely to happen but we can't say for sure what exactly will happen. This uncertainty is [...]

Sometime during COVID, I decided to attend the solution-focused coaching training with Debbie Hogan. My main interest was to learn more about effective change, and how we can integrate this into how we work with our clients. Very often we know what is required for us to be healthier. The problem is really is in [...]

One of the best parts of being an empowerment-based chiropractor is that you are able to see chronic pain sufferers recovery on their own.
