English term or phrase: hold back
I want to make sure you're a member of this team for a long time. So, I'm not going to hold back in this training exercise.

The training was extreme and unusual, Is he wants to say, "I want to give it all in this training"?

Thanks in advance,

(push a hard as possible)
Explanation:
Yes, you're right in your guess. "Holding back" means that someone is stopping themselves from either pushing as hard as they can, pushing someone else as hard as they can, or something with that type of idea. The latter, in this case of someone training another person.
