Omega-3s arenโ€™t all the same. ๐ŸŸ

EPA and DHA do different jobs, and dose & balance matter more than most people realise.

EPA vs DHA.
Cholesterol ratios.
Inflammation.

Watch it. Save it. Rewatch it.

Not all weight feels the same ๐Ÿ‘€

On the Nytram decline chest press, the two loading arms change where the resistance is hardest.

Ever wondered which one to use?

๐Ÿ”น When the weight is more vertical to gravity, thatโ€™s where youโ€™ll feel maximum load

๐Ÿ”น As the arm moves away from vertical, the resistance drops

๐Ÿ”น That means this machine is mid/top-biased, and not evenly loaded through the whole rep

Use the arms intentionally, not blindly.

What do we use?

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป The top one 99% of the time.

Train smart. Not just heavy ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ

NEW KIT ALERT! ๐Ÿ’ฅ

Thanks to for sorting us out with these stunning Gymleco cable stations ๐Ÿคฉ

The old single cable station has been replaced in the shoulder and arm room, and an extra one has been added!

I think you'll all agree they look ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿพ

They run super smooth and are height adjustable making them perfect for arms, side and rear delts.

Please keep the surrounding floor areas tidy while we arrange for hanging spaces for attachments....you know we love to keep a clean and tidy gym here! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ

This position on the vertical leg press gives your calves a deeper stretch than most machines and feels great.

Why?

โœ”๏ธ Hips folded = longer muscle length
โœ”๏ธ Heels drop lower = bigger stretch
โœ”๏ธ Straight legs = more gastroc activation
โœ”๏ธ Constant tension = better growth ๐Ÿ’ฅ

Control it. Donโ€™t bounce. Squeeze every rep.

Make sure you're training calves with a straight leg position (like these, donkey calf, standing or other leg press), AND in a seated position.

NEW KIT ๐Ÿ”ฅ Seated Precor Icarian Row

Thanks to for this Precor Seated Row, which he begrudgingly let us have ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜š

Check out MuscleFactory staff member Pete taking it for a ride.

Using it for your goals:

โžก๏ธ Handle positions

โ€ข Neutral = more lats + comfort
โ€ข Wider overhand = upper back & rear delts
โ€ข Narrower overhand = mid-back thickness

Elbows in = more lats
Elbows out = more upper back

โžก๏ธ Adjustable chest & seat pads

โ€ข Lock your body in
โ€ข Reduce momentum
โ€ข Keep tension where it belongs

๐Ÿ’กTIP! Whatever grip you use, for best muscle connection, pull with the elbows, not the hands.

โžก๏ธTarget muscles:

โ€ขLats
โ€ขRhomboids
โ€ขMid & upper traps
โ€ขRear delts

Whether youโ€™re chasing width, thickness, or bothโ€ฆ this one delivers ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Most people set their incline bench too steep โŒ

If it feels like a shoulder press, your angle is too high.

For upper chest:

20โ€“30ยฐ = sweet spot
30โ€“45ยฐ = more delt involvement

Set it right.
Train with purpose.

Members, if you need any exercise analysis while training, feel free to grab Chris, Fay or Andrius - weโ€™re always happy to help ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ
