Safety bar squats - if available this is a great squat variation for a number of reasons.

1. Lacking Shoulder mobility/ injury - if you lack mobility in the shoulders of have a slight injury/impingement, the safety bar is a much easier position to maintain without stressing the shoulder.

2. Lack of hip/ankle mobility - the safety bar loads the weight towards the front which allows you to stay more upright in the squat. This is great for anyone that has tight hips/ankles and struggles to stay upright during a back squat.

3. Quad bias - because of the way position of the weight it forces you into a more upright position making the exercise more quad bias. It’s also a great alternative to the front squat of wrist mobility inhibits you from bb front squats.

4. Core activation - I find it a lot easier to engage your core using the safety bar over the back squat. Which also makes it a great alternative and stepping stone to improving technique in your back squat.

5. It’s a fun variation - if you wanted to switch it up but still include squats in your programme.

Give it a go and let me know what you think.

Making deductions when you’re hungry rarely ends up in good quality food intake. More often than not, you’ll pick what sounds the most satisfying.

Which can often lead you away from your fat loss goals.

Make your choice when eating out before you go. Preferably after you’ve just eaten.

This should help you make a more informed decision.

Client working on her thoracic rotation and hip mobility and stability today.

The twisting lunge sn**ch is a great exercise to warm up for both upper and lower body days.

Focus on What you need first then include what you want.

I love carbs, but if the goal is fat loss and you still want to enjoy a nice meal out with friends or family, somethings got to give.

For me - the easiest thing is to reduce carbohydrate intake. Focus on the protein source, have a s**t tonne of veggies/salad, and just cut the chips.

This will really help you reduce your intake making going out much more manageable and not destroying your fat loss results.

Client spotlight 💡

This was James after his first 8 weeks of training 💪🏻.

His goal is to build lean muscle. We started James off at around maintenance calories and focussed a lot on performance in the gym.

As you can see James has already put on a lot of muscle in such a short period of time. He’s also lost a lot of body fat 🔥.

Currently building his calories to continue to see increased muscle mass and improvements in performance.

Absolutely smashing it. 👊🏻.
