❗️If you could only give 3 pieces of advice to a complete beginner wanting to get in to gym what would it be? Comment below!❗️

📍TRAIN SIMPLE - I’m in a position now where I’m basing my training off biomechanics, Exercise profiles, research studies and things that as a beginner looking to change their physique is not necessary. At the beginning what you need to do is have a basic majority free weight training plan and focus on executing perfect form every rep, this gets you in good practice for the rest of your life, if you start with bad form because it’s an easier way to lift the weight, your body and CNS will try and do that every session and it will lead to injuries and won’t be optimal for training.

📍GOAL ACHIEVING IS 75% NUTRITION - People will be quick to say ‘I want to gain muscle’ and then won’t even change their nutrition. It is important to understand that changes in your physique come from manipulating your calories and macros to suit your body and goal. Gaining muscle or strength over a long period of time will require adequate fuel, don’t neglect it.

📍REST PROPERLY - Both in between sets and around training sessions. Rest and Sleep is were we grow the most. Most ‘new year, new me’ gym goers will feel exhausted and even worse even though they’ve made a positive change to their life. Why? Because they go in all guns blazing, try and do to much and go every day and then wonder why their body is crying to go back to sitting on the couch. Change is uncomfortable yes, but going the gym 7 days per week and sleeping sun 6 hours a day is unsustainable. Make sure you plan times of rest and recovery, your body will thank you for it.

Protein is a macronutrient found in most foods and contains 4 calories per gram! It is essential for building muscle mass but also involved in a lot of our bodies natural functions such as helping the immune system stay strong.

A lot of people shy away from protein powder because they fear it will make them ‘bulky’ or even fat if they don’t work out. What they don’t understand is that protein is utilised by our bodies in many other ways and not just for gym goers! If you eat chicken, steak or any animal products with let’s say a side of rice, without knowing you could be putting the exact same calories & nutrients in to your body that you would from a shake. Don’t run away from protein powder, utilise it as a great tool for when on the go and want something to fuel you!

Whole grains are great sources of fibre and B vitamins but be careful where you’re buying it from. Or have a go at making it yourself! Seeds are a great addition for a little boost of protein in the mix🤘🏻

The reason most people don’t dive straight in to their greens at the start of a meal is because they are not the most appealing part.

I always remember parents saying ‘if you were really hungry you’d eat an apple’ whenever I asked for an unhealthy snack. This is true, a lot of the time we’re chasing cravings or eating through boredom.

Just by eating this way, you can get the health benefits that come with consuming vegetables! Or if you wanna eat some tasty greens, follow and try their meal prep!❤️

Small changes made daily will get you better results than trying to change everything at once and realising it’s not sustainable!

It is important when chasing health that we make changes to our diet to suit our goal, but the wrong changes can have huge impact on our energy levels, health and mood!

RESISTANCE BANDS! 🔗
Resistance Bands are a great tool in training, for such a small piece of equipment they can pack a punch! Some even add up to 150lb of resistance to the exercise!

If you’re ‘struggling to progress’ but you haven’t implemented tools like adding bands instead of more weight then you’re not trying everything necessary to progress.

The good thing about the resistance band here is as I move up to full extension the movement gets harder with it being at peak resistance at the top of the movement meaning I can’t really lock out without still feeling the resistance, then as it pulls back on the eccentric part it forces you to focus on not dropping your arms back and letting the weight fall.

Note: make sure your resistance bands are balanced as additional resistance on one side repeatedly over time can cause muscle imbalance!💪🏼

D-Handle Chest supported Lat pull down🔥

I love this alternative to a lat pull down. For me personally I have tweaked the seat angle, distance, and form to perfectly achieve desired effect which is to lengthen the lat at the top keeping the tension and then driving the elbows back and squeeze. Almost like a straight arm pull down and a lat pull down combined

The D-handle is allowing me to get a better squeeze as I can drive the elbow back further, but it also allows more movement in the wrist putting less strain on the joint.

Finally the chest support, apart from allowing more stability in the lower lumbar due to me driving my hips in to the seat, it obviously allows me to achieve this angle of contraction whilst not being pulled forward on the eccentric part of the movement every time 😂

Things to improve: The a weight needed to be this high because it was programmed in for progression so I had to beat last session, but as you can see on a few reps it pulled me up out the seat. Will find a way to stop this next time.👊🏻
