23.01.2022 Three things that will help you retain muscle mass while you don’t have access to a gym or equipment. 1. Continue to overload the working muscles in ways possible such as. More reps/sets, different angles, adding resistance bands, slower tempo/more time under tension, shorter rest periods and supersets with the same muscle group. 2. Keep protein intake high at least 1.4- 2g per kilo.... 3. Recovery is key this plays a big role in your training nutrient foods, quality sleep, walks, daily mobility, staying hydrated and stretching. #mcopefitness #training #strength #isotraining #muscle #fitness #recovery

21.01.2022 Five things I have learnt over the period of ISO. 1. Make time for yourself. Taking a littletime for yourselfrefreshes and re-energizes you. It allows you to think more clearly andmakebetter decisions. Taking metimealso builds your self-esteem, as you come to realize that you areimportantand deserve to have a littletimetoyourself. 2. Connect with different people, . Reach out to people in your work, friends and family. Staying connect that way helps each other o...ut. 3. More Patience. When you're patience, you give up the struggle. You relax and enjoy your life and your relationships, and experience the beauty of each moment. Patience createsconfidence,decisiveness, and a thoughtful outlook on life. Patience leads towisdomand success. 4. Consider every opportunity that you get and comes your way. Say Yes more often.Taking advantageofopportunitiesin life starts with simply saying yes to them when they come around. Don't hesitate, takemore risks. Have a positive attitude, meet more people,be Curious. and focus. 5. Getting out of your comfort zone. Throw yourself in the deep end wherever possible. Stand out in your own way, and most importantly take risks in your career and lifestyle. Credit to mum for the photo. #mcopefitness #fitness #lessons #iso #lifestyle

19.01.2022 Do more rowing in your training. Horizontal Pull, upper back creates base level for you in other upper body movements. The scap plays a massive role in, which enables us to function in an efficient manner. In doing so our upper back acts as a control centre to move the scapula. Big pinch between the scap to activate the middle back such as (rhomboids middle and lower traps )then pull in with your shoulder back and down. Worth adding into your program. #mcopefitness #rowing #DBROW #fitness #training #strength #personaltrainer #performance #goals #muscles

18.01.2022 I am a big believer that you can get much more out of the environment. Creating that enjoyable space. That’s why I focus my energy into creating a space of like minded people to feed off each other, whilst they all work on their individual goals.... #mcopefitness #training #fitness #environment #strength #personaltrainer #grouptraining #goals #clients #determination

18.01.2022 Rowing & upper back exercisers , most people are very anterior dominant as in strong, tight through their chest and weak through their upper back.

Here’s an example of a little back series. 1 - Chest supported rows x10 2 - Reverse fly x15... 3 - Plated Y Press Save and enjoy. #mcopefitness

16.01.2022 great test for single leg strength is the single leg box squat. This can be a great way to see where your at and what improvements need to be done. Single-leg exercises can help pinpoint muscle imbalances, and they help improve balance and core stability. By working with one side of the body at a time, you don't give the other side the chance to take overso you're basically forcing each leg to do the work without relying on any other help. #mcopefitness #singlelegsquat #singlelegstrength #muscle #imbalances #exercise #sport #performance #health #training #personaltrainer #control #movement

12.01.2022 The Single Arm Lat Pulldown. I have been added this into my training and found lots of benefits. This exercise has a few key benefits compared to a traditional lat pulldown.

Secondary Muscles: Posterior Delts, Biceps Brachii, Brachioradialis, Brachialis, Wrist flexors. #mcopefitness #train #lats #fitness #upperback #performance #personaltrainer #strength #program #gym #health #enjoy #workout See more

12.01.2022 Why having a coach is important? Having a coach has so many benefits as you start to get settled into the gym and make the most of your training. There are a lot of things that you don’t notice when you’re training and a coach is there to spot those areas out so you can reach your goal further and full potential.... Depends whether or not you feel as though you are nailing your technique or your lifts having extra eyes can add more value and additional tools to your belt. Coaches need to be mentor as well . Having a mindset that there is always room to learn and improve. It is when you start making the best process in the gym Invest in a coach be educated and learn how to train properly. Take the next step in your journey. #mcopefitness #coach #fitness #gym #nexstep #invest

07.01.2022 Mental Heath aspect on training how it can help you. Being physical plays a big role in mental health , who's been in a bad headspace and then started trainingexercise can be the best forms of release and to calm your mind. It releases those endorphins . There is more and more research coming out now to show that the effects of depression can be dramatically reduced through regular physical activity and training. More confidence I know for myself confidence is a big thing for me and exercise helps me through that. When you leave your session at the gym having challenging yourself through the workout and pushed your limits physically and mentally, you build on your level of confidence and not only helps you in the gym but in life also. #mcopefitness #strength #confidence #mentalhealth #fitness #training

02.01.2022 Isometric Single Leg Calf Raises Holds Isometric training is a type of staticstrength training in which the muscle length or the joint angle do not change during contraction. So during these exercises, the muscles will tense up, but don’t actually move. Strong calves are key for efficient and pain-free running.... Iso exercises take minimal time.If you are short on time, then you can still do isometrics without sacrificing a lot. You don’t need any equipment. You don’t need a gym. Just a little bit of space. Low impact. #mcopefitness #isometric #calfraise #fitness #strong #strength #runners See more

02.01.2022 Shout out to Ross. Ross has been working with me over the last month and has come along way with his training. As you can see in the 2 videos. My first job as a trainer when looking at your squat is -What’s his foot position?... - Does your pelvis move during the movement? -Do you experience pain anywhere? -Is your range limited? -What’s the lower back look like? The first video I took on our first session together. -Limited range of motion -Tight upper back -Tight Hips - Positioning Video Two. Much Improved over the sessions, I chose to use a plated counter squat. -Range of motion -Torso upright -Braced core -Pelvis control. -Upper Back is relaxed -Controlling the weight. -Foot Control Be patience, focus on learning the movement first and over time you will see improvment. @benners1010 #mcopefitness #fitness #training #outdoortraining #improvement #patience #squat #gym #strength
