"I feel stronger and more able 💪"

"My confidence in my strength is growing ⭐"

Congratulations to Lynne who is our Block 5 Weightlifting Champ 💪🏆

Lynne has been coming to our weightlifting club for over a year now and it's been amazing to see how much her confidence has grown in that time!! 👌

In all honesty, she's had her hat in the ring for the coveted t shirt this whole year so it's well deserved 😊

This block though she smashed it!!!

Joining the 1% club (women who can bench press 2x20kg dumbbells for 6 reps ranks you in the top 1% of the general population 👀) was a key highlight for me but not just that, her work ethic and determination every week is inspiring 🌟

You deserve this champ! 🏆

Buzzing to share we have partnered with Boss Catering Glasgow to bring meal prep to our members 💪

Ally and Chef Callum at Boss cook up a storm every week and the food is incredible after having been a fan of Chef Callum's grub for a while now - it made sense to bring the good to our community 👍

Stop doing this for Deadlifts!! ❌❌

Two common issues I see in the gym all the time, particularly with beginners, is the set up for using a barbell for deadlifts & the correct posture to use throughout the lift.

1. Hands too wide & feet too narrow (or in some cases the opposite).

Whilst there is benefit in doing both of these variations in terms of engaging different muscles or for specific sports (e.g. sumo deadlift on powerlifting etc) - the focus on being purposeful with your movement. So! For conventional Deadlifts a strong starting position looks like:

Feet hip width to create a strong stable base with your grip lining up outside your knees. This allows you to create a strong leg drive without forcing your knees in (like if your arms are too narrow). Leg drive is the key for a strong deadlift!

2. Rounding of the back

Firstly, yuck 😂 Secondly, it's all about engaging your core and lats here. To get this position correct and maintain a strong, flat, neutral back you want to create tension on the bar and shift your weight slightly through your heels.

A nice queue I use in the gym is to pull the slack out of the bar so you hear a wee clunk noise of the barbell engaging against the plates. This creates tension, then it's all about the pull 💪

No go practice your Deadlifts 💃👌
