A great cue to remember when you’re performing any row movements is to think about ‘dragging’ from your elbow, as opposed to pulling from your hand. I’ve found this cue helps people better connect with their lats, and take some focus off the arms/forearms. It works with any row variation - give it a go and let me know what you think!

How do I know if I’m ready to go up in weight?

We use a technique called reps in reserve. This basically means, how many more reps could you have completed with good form?

If you think you have more reps in reserve when you finish a set, on the next set, attempt to do an extra rep or two. If you can achieve this with good form, it’s time to add a notch to your weight (and drop the reps back down to your programs guidelines).

Repeating this across the course of your training will ensure progressive overload is achieved, and this will ensure you’re on the path to great results.

How to get the most out of your lat pulldown - for a strong, resilient upper body 💪

The secret of this exercise is in the movement of the shoulder blades. As we are trying to target the lat muscle, and due to the lat muscles role in depressing the shoulder blades, the best way to nail this exercise is to focus on that shoulder blade movement.

Focus on elevating the shoulder blades at the ‘reach’ position, then depress the shoulder blades to initiate the pull. Keep the shoulder blades down as the bar is at your chin. If you need to round the shoulders here, the chances are the weight is too heavy for you.

This will give you a much more isolated feeling through the lat muscle, and a better overall outcome from the lift.

Which Lat Pulldown is optimal?
In deconstructing this movement, there are 3 key factors that are inhibiting the correct technique.
*Swipe for the breakdown*
1: Elevated upper traps and a rounded thoracic spine.
2: Internally rotated humerus.
3: Hands traveling forward at the depth of the movement.
These 3 common occurrences will deter activation from the Lats and place excess strain on the Upper traps, rotator cuff and forearms. To avoid this;
- Assume a slight recline through the torso and keep the chest open/proud
- Depress the scapula prior to each repetition
- Focus on leading the elbows down to the hips
- Maintain a neutral gaze through the movement

I think too many people hesitate to get started because the difference between where they are now, and where they want to be, appears enormous.

Understandably so.

However, you’re not going to get from where you are, to where you want to be, anytime soon. (Sorry if this hits home, but that 8 week challenge is not going to work).

However, using this as a roadblock to not getting started is counterintuitive - the time is going to pass either way. You either spend the time getting started, step by step - or you don’t.

Try not to keep looking at your end goal, yes you need to have an idea of where you want to be, but shift the focus from that to what you need to do next. Much smaller goals are so much easier to tick off versus giant goals that seem so distant.

A lovely review by one of our clients!

One of the main reasons new clients tell us they haven’t done strength training previously is because they ‘don’t like gyms’. We aim to create a culture that isn’t like a normal gym - with great people, high vibes and focused and dedicated training that is specific for each individual.

When most people think of personal training, they think of a trainer standing over them, screaming motivational quotes, sweating, burpees, treadmill sprints and huffing and puffing.

When people come and train with us, they see precision, control, technique, specific exercises for your body, progress and muscle 💪

You don’t need to be sweaty to know you’ve had a good workout. You don’t need to be ruined to see progress. You do, however, need to stimulate your muscles properly to see results.

Focus less on calorie output, and more in technique, your body will thank you for it 💪

A great review from one of our long term clients. Trainer helped this client through years of knee pain, a major surgery, and a minor surgery to keep her moving and continue to build strength. Incredible work from these guys!

Did you know that one of the only proven ergogenic aids is caffeine? Studies consistently show improved performance with medium (200mg) to high (400mg) doses. This is why all the pre-workout supplements contain caffeine (and it’s really the only effective ingredient in the supplement!).

Thankfully we are across the road from and are consistently caffeinated and therefore perform excellently.

If I were you, I’d save my money on a pre-workout supplement, and have a shot of coffee ~20 mins prior to training instead ☕️
