07.01.2022 The tricep is made up of three sections. The lateral head of the tricep is the largest, most obvious part of the muscle at the back of the arm. The long head of the muscle extends along the inner part of the arm and the Medial head tucks up under the long head. Here I am doing Pushdowns with the straight bar which focus work on the long head of the tricep. The straight bar naturally positions the hands in an overhand grip with the palms facing down. With ...the elbows tight against the body, the long head of the tricep activates as the arms straighten. When you use the rope instead of the straight bar it changes the position of the hands during the pushdown. The palms face in instead of down which directs more of the work of the pushdown towards the lateral head of the tricep at the outside of the arm. Taking these details into consideration when programming for my clients is something I take great pride in. If you are not following a program that is specifically designed for you that evolves with you as you gain strength and experience, you are leaving a lot of potential progress on the table.

03.01.2022 I find the weekend can go one of two ways for my clients... they either use the extra time they have to get stuck in and do the little extras they may have missed during the week OR they fall off track for two days and get blind, blow their cals and don’t move much at all other than chasing tail... there’s never an in between Em and I are so blessed that the weekend is just an extension of our normal week, nothing changes at all. We train, we eat, ...we sleep and we work... routine is a huge part of our lives and it’s what works for us. I’m interested to hear who uses the weekends for their health and fitness and who writes them off as ‘free days? *no wrong answers, if you write them off tell me how... makes for some good stories

02.01.2022 IT AINT WATER BABY... How many times have you heard people say You come to the gym to sweat or If you ain’t sweating you ain’t trying well, here’s some food for thought Studies have shown that low to moderate dehydration (about 3% water loss) causes a significant reduction in muscular endurance and power output during training. One study shows peak power decreased 14.48% in the upper body and 18.36% in the lower body! The second study showed that... 3% dehydration impaired resistance exercise performance, decreased repetitions, increased perceived exertion, and slowed recovery. So, if your goal is to sweat out whatever bad food you ate yesterday.... go right ahead and do your thing (FYI- this is RIDICULOUS, but that’s another post for another day). BUT if your goal is to increase your strength, lean tissue, body composition and overall performance you should be monitoring your fluid levels and making sure you are adequately hydrated.
