24.01.2022 Our benches have already been set 1.5m apart so that there's no guessing about the 1.5m rule. Just grab some dumbbells and get training :)

23.01.2022 Caption this^ #richmondgym #abbotsfordgym #liftingface

23.01.2022 As we're easing back into training with weights, we have to be especially mindful of taking it easy on the compound lifts (such as squats) as these are very taxing on musculature and the nervous system. Try not to increase volume or intensity by more than 10% per week.

22.01.2022 Here's a quick reminder of our holiday hours! While we are unstaffed, members still have their regular 24/7 access.

21.01.2022 Is it ok to wear a cap while you train? #richmond #gym #spacious

21.01.2022 Personal training doesn't always need to be hands on- Contact [email protected] or DM for more details on our low-contact personal training options.

20.01.2022 Either you move the plates, or the plates move you ... #fitness #workout #fit #training #cremorne #richmondgym

19.01.2022 The Stairmaster is super effective, especially if you don't shift your weight onto the handles.

19.01.2022 When you're first getting into deadlifts, you may not have the mobility to pull from the floor - a great variation to start off with is an elevated deadlift or 'block pull'. This lets you train the same movement pattern but with less range of motion.

19.01.2022 But it's worth it ... #gymrichmond #dukesgym #foamrollerface

18.01.2022 The more horizontal your torso is, the more your lats will be active in the barbell row.

18.01.2022 Contact [email protected] or DM for info on how our personal trainers can fast-track the results that you want.

18.01.2022 The classic Hammer Curl is an excellent overall exercise for the biceps and forearms - it targets the brachialis muscle more so than traditional supinated curls, which is beneficial for forearm size and strength.

18.01.2022 There's no need to keep your shoulders locked down and back on lat pulldowns - allow your scap to open up when you control the bar above your head. To initiate the pull, pull your shoulders down and back before pulling your elbows down towards your hips.

17.01.2022 Restrictions have been eased yet again ! Here are the details :)

15.01.2022 Tear up your posterior chain on the back hyper machine!

15.01.2022 Heavy rack pulls place huge eccentric stress on the traps and upper back which is very effective for hypertrophy. Shrugs are also an effective trap exercise, but can't induce nearly as much eccentric loading.

15.01.2022 An excellent way to strengthen your posterior train is by doing back-extensions on the GH raise machine. This strength will carry over very well to compound lifts such as the deadlift and squat.

15.01.2022 As you've probably heard, further announcements were made last night regarding restrictions: What's changing: Booking system is no longer required... One hour limit on training removed Health declaration form not required Overall club capacity increased to one person per four square metres vCasual sessions are available outside of peak hours Booking-system contingent cooling off periods expiring Full details below. https://dukesgym.com.au/restrictions-update/

14.01.2022 The Glute-Ham-Trainer can also be used for situps!

14.01.2022 Fitness Passport is back! If you're on a Fitness Passport Membership and would like to use our awesome facilities, DM us or call 9421 5011 to set up your access.

14.01.2022 When close-grip bench pressing, having your hands shoulder-width on the bar will provide great alignment for your wrists, elbows and shoulders.

13.01.2022 Squeeze the end of the barbell inwards to get extra chest activation on landmine presses.

13.01.2022 Danny's forearms looking nice and perpendicular with the ceiling!

13.01.2022 It's not too late to get stuck into your fitness goals To kickstart your fitness journey, we've put together: Complimentary Coaching... 2 Weeks UNLIMITED Small Group Training (Valued at $110) FREE Initial Osteopathy Appointment (Valued at $110) Click the link in our bio or DM for further details. *Only available to new members.

13.01.2022 Internal rotation during lateral raises places more emphasis on the side delts - just keep in mind that while your shoulders are more internally rotated, you should avoid raising your elbows above shoulder level.

13.01.2022 The competition bench has thicker padding and a fixed base which allows more traction and better leg drive!

13.01.2022 Can't do full pullups yet? The assisted pullup machine lets you gradually reduce the level of assistance it provides until you're able to perform a full pullup by yourself.

12.01.2022 Squat with less lower-back pressure using the assisted squat.

12.01.2022 They don't call him Dumbbell Danny for nothing

11.01.2022 Merry Christmas from the Team at Richmond!

10.01.2022 If you don't currently have the strength to perform full bodyweight dips, our assisted dip/pullup machine can help you practice the movement while having some of your weight supported.

10.01.2022 'Spread the floor' - this will promote external rotation at the hips and glute engagement on lifts.

10.01.2022 Sam spotting our resident powerlifter Minh for his new one rep max attempt of 40kg

09.01.2022 The 'Deadbug' can be made even more effective with the addition of a resistance band. Core activation is very beneficial when warming up to perform heavy compound lifts.

08.01.2022 It's awesome that you just benched 100kg but putting your weights back after you use them is also pretty cool

07.01.2022 If your sticking point on the overhead press is the lockout phase, try incorporating seated pin presses - they'll train the lockout phase of the movement and strengthen your triceps.

05.01.2022 Get on the competition bench - thicker pad, fixed foundation, bigger lift!

04.01.2022 Train with privacy and comfort in the women's only area. Just you and the weights ... #workout #motivation #fit #gym #richmondgym #gymrichmond #womensonly

03.01.2022 Box squats with a safety squat bar are a great way of developing explosivity in the legs. Momentarily shift some of your weight onto the box before pushing through your feet hard and fast.

03.01.2022 Dumbbell skullcrushers are a good alternative to barbell tricep extensions for those who have wrist or elbow niggles - the dumbbells allow you to perform the exercise with a neutral grip, which makes it easier to prevent elbow flare.

03.01.2022 Hit that lower chest with the decline bench!

03.01.2022 It's a good idea to "grease the groove" before doing bench press by performing 15-25 reps with just the bar. Focus on technique cues just as you would during a working set.

02.01.2022 The landmine station isn't just for T-Bar rows: It can also be used for presses and rotational core exercises.

01.01.2022 Are you struggling to fully lock out on presses? If that's the case, your triceps could be the limiting factor. The floor press is an excellent way to strengthen the lock-out portion of pressing (which strengthens the triceps).
