👨🏻‍🏫 Tuesday Coach’s Tip

Leave a little space.

When you’re doing pulling movements like rows, it can be tempting to think more range = better rep.

But pulling as far as physically possible can sometimes mean you lose the position you’re actually trying to train.

Two simple visual cues we use:

👉 Keep some space between your shoulder and your ear.
Avoid letting the shoulder shrug up as you pull.

👉 Keep a slight gap between your bicep and forearm.
You don’t need to keep pulling until everything is completely closed up.

Instead, think about moving through a strong, controlled range while keeping your shoulder and upper back doing the work.

The exact position will vary depending on the exercise and the person…these aren’t rigid rules.

They’re simply useful cues to help you avoid turning a good pulling movement into “just pull it as far as possible.”

❌ Myth Busting Monday

More time in the gym = better results.

You don’t need to train every day or spend hours in the gym to get stronger, fitter and healthier.

For most people, 2–4 well-structured sessions each week can achieve a lot, especially when they’re supported by what you do during the other 160+ hours of your week.

🏋️ Train consistently and progressively
🚶 Keep moving outside the gym
🥗 Eat well most of the time
🥩 Get enough protein
😴 Prioritise sleep and recovery

More training isn’t automatically better training.

If you’re constantly exhausted, struggling to recover or your training is taking over your life, adding another session isn’t necessarily the answer.

For most of us, fitness needs to work alongside jobs, families, social lives and everything else that matters.

The goal for most people is to make training a sustainable part of your life.

One day you’ll be glad you kept doing this.

Not because you hit a certain weight on the scales.

Not because you had abs.

Not because you lifted the most in the gym.

Because your quality of life is good.

You can still carry your own bags.

Get up from the floor or get out of a chair.

Walk the hills.

Play with your kids…and eventually your grandkids.

Travel. Explore. Try new things.

And keep saying yes to the things you enjoy.

What you do with your body now is an investment in what you’ll be able to do with it later.

You might not notice the return tomorrow, next week or even next month.

But your future self might.

Train for your future self.

💥 Matt J on the Backyard Ultra! 💥

Remember the post about Matt J a few days ago…

Well, we watched Matt complete 14 total laps pulling out on lap 15 for a total of 100.24km of his Backyard Ultra event yesterday 💪🏃‍♂️

Huge effort and massive achievement! 🎉

Here’s some snaps from the day…and night!

What We’d Do If…🤔

We weren’t sure where to start.

Getting fitter can feel unnecessarily complicated.

What workout should you do?
How many days should you train?
Should you run? Lift weights? Do both?
What should you eat?
How hard should you push?

When you’re starting or coming back after a long time away, all that information can make it harder to actually begin.

So simplify it.

🚶 Move more during your normal day.

🏋️ Strength train 2–3 times a week and gradually build from there.

📚 Learn the basics rather than worrying about the perfect programme.

🙋 Ask for help if you’re not sure what you’re doing.

Most importantly, don’t try to overhaul your entire life on day one.

You don’t need to know everything before you begin…just a sensible place to start.

Start where you are. Learn as you go. Build from there.

This weekend, Matt J is taking on the Backyard Ultra event alongside around 180 other runners.

The challenge is 6.7km. On the hour. Every hour. For as long as you can keep going 👀

Matt’s been preparing since November, gradually building his running mileage while continuing to strength train at Gusto, adjusting the load and intensity as the demands of his running increased.

All of that has had to fit around normal life too.

Running a business. Being a husband. Being a dad.

This morning was his final Gusto session before Saturday.

Matt this morning said he’s done everything he can with his preparation so he’s pleased with that and what will be will be.

Matt said he’s most looking forward to embracing the challenge, putting months of preparation into practice and finding out what his body, and mind, can do.

Whatever happens, getting to the start line this well prepared is an achievement in itself.

Good luck, Matt. The whole Gusto crew will be rooting for you. 💪

Now let’s see how far you can go!

👨🏻‍🏫 Tuesday Coach’s Tip

In a Press Up - think “arrow”, not “T”…

A simple way to check your position at the bottom of a press-up (on any variation), is to look at where your elbows are.

❌ If your elbows flare directly out to the sides, your shoulders and elbows create more of a T-shape.

✅ Instead, think about creating an arrow shape with your body and arms. This allows your elbows to travel backwards at an angle as you lower yourself towards the floor.

You don’t need to pin your elbows tightly against your sides either.

The aim is to find a strong, comfortable position where your elbows angle back rather than flare straight out.

Think arrow, not T.

Small change. Better workouts and results.

❌ MYTH: There’s always a “best” option.

What’s the best exercise for fat loss?

What’s the best diet?

What’s the best exercise for building muscle?

How many times a week should I train?

Our answer to questions like these is often the frustrating one…

It depends.

It depends on your goal.

Your training experience.

Your lifestyle.

Your preferences.

Your current ability.

How much time you actually have.

And whether you can realistically stick to it.

That doesn’t mean there aren’t better and worse ways of doing things.

Something being “optimal” or “best” on paper doesn’t automatically make it the best choice for you.

The perfect programme you can only follow for two weeks probably isn’t as useful as a good programme you can consistently follow for the next year.

So instead of constantly searching for the perfect exercise, diet or training plan…

Find something appropriate for your goals, your circumstances and your life, then give it enough time to actually work.

Optimal ≠ practical.

Practical, done consistently, gets you a long way.
