A pretty simple machine yet in its simplicity a lot of people still do not know how to do this confidently.
Muscles worked: Quadriceps
Quick tips:
1. set the backrest far enough back that you can sit back and slide your knees tight against the seat, then pull the backrest forward so you have some back support
2. Set the front leg pad so it tucks into the ankle
3. Grab the handles to the side
4. Breathe, brace, and extend those legs 💪

How to use the V-squat properly to target the Quads and Glutes 🔥
I use this machine for a lot of people who have strong legs but lack the mobility and coordination for now to get into a deep squat

Feeling lost in the gym?
You’re not the only one.
A lot of people want to get leaner, stronger, fitter, and more confident, but they get stuck because they’re not sure what exercises to do, how to train properly, how a bit of structure in their training can make the world of difference or where to start with nutrition.
That’s exactly what the Free Kickstart Session is for.
We’ll go through your training, movement, nutrition, and goals so you can walk away with clearer direction and a better idea of what your next steps should be.
No pressure.
No obligation.
Just clear guidance to help you get started properly.

Stop Turning Your Split Squats Into a Balance Test ⚖️
If your split squats feel like a balancing act, you’re wasting time on less important factors
Set it up so you can actually load the movement and train the target muscles.
Focus on this:
🔸 More weight through the front leg than the back leg, I like to think 25% back 75% front
🔸 Stay tall with good posture
🔸Big breath at the top, brace like you’re going underwater, hold it through the rep
🔸Use a pad on the bar, no point being uncomfortable for no reason
🔸Elevate your front foot on a plate if you need more ROM or better load distribution
Done right, this lights up your quads and glutes.
Done wrong… it’s just you trying not to fall over.
Sometimes you've just got to commit.
We all know training is going to be good for us and we all can easily make an excuse to not go. But boy was I glad I went in for this session because my work afterwards was far more productive and I was far more energised
And I'm not surprised because feeling highly energised is pretty consistent with having a productive training session. Movement creates movement and momentum builds momentum 🔥

When you bounce the weight at the bottom of a lift, you can reduce the amount of force the muscle has to produce to move the weight. That means you may also reduce the potential strength and muscle-building benefits of the rep.
It can also hide weak points in the bottom of the lift. For example, in a chest press, bouncing the weight can mean the pecs do not have to work as hard to produce force, which reduces their contribution to the movement.
So if the goal is to improve chest strength or build more muscle, this is probably something we want to avoid.
You may also increase your risk of injury by creating slack and losing tension in the lift.
If the main goal is simply to move as much weight as possible, then we might look at this differently.

There are many things that require 0 talent but if done repetitively to even a small degree of efficiency will pay off like a well-funded bank account over months and years
Here's a few you can start now with:
🔸Lifting weights 2-4 x per week
🔸Walking 20-40mins every 1-2 days
🔸Drinking 2.5L of water
🔸Sleeping a good 7 hours
🔸Listening to positive and inspirational people daily
Theres not a single person who can't invest a small amount of their time and limited energy today to achieving even 3/5 of the things on this list.
