How many times have you heard this? Too many gymbros will jump to this conclusion without giving a single thought to other factors.⁠⠀⁠⠀
Why? Because it is easy to blame something we don't have any control over. Although it is true that every individual has a limit as to how much muscle they can build this will not be your limiting factor UNLESS you want to be a top-tier bodybuilder or a fitness competitor.⁠⠀⁠⠀
For most guys to get that impressive, strong, lean, and muscular look they so much desire, they "only" need to gain about 9 - 11kgs of muscle.⁠⠀⁠⠀
Is it easy? Definitely not! What I can guarantee you though is that anyone no matter how weak or skinny can do that if they utilise strength training and nutrition properly.⁠⠀⁠⠀
Do you think GENETICS are holding you back? Let me know in the comments below.⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀

Another outdoor class while the weather is fine
I get people asking about the structure of the session, so here it is:
15-20 mins
• Wrist preparation
• Whole body mobility work
• Activations

25-30 mins
• Short flow (I break this down into individual moves which we later join together into a flow)
Easy as that...All the moves can be adjusted to your ability and we can definitely work around any limitations you might have.
Interested to join us next Sunday? Drop me DM or leave a comment below⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Two most common squat faults that I encounter as a personal trainer
KNEE VALGUS (knees caving in) you might have heard that this might be due to WEAK GLUTES but physical therapist assisted testing revealed that most of us possess adequate strength to keep the knees from caving in.
What we do struggle with though is recruiting the leg muscles correctly. So if you’re planning on squatting then add some glute activation into your warm up.
LUMBAR HYPER-EXTENSION (stripper butt) curving your lower back up and sticking your butt out when squatting puts A LOT OF PRESSURE on your lower back and can result in lower back pain.
Instead focus on bracing your core which will result in a slight posterior pelvis tilt. Train SMART and protect your LOWER BACK.
In a correct bottom of squat position your hips would be low your knees and your knees would track over your toes. Ideally you’d want to squat with feet straight on, but slight tilt out is acceptable.

One of the main things when it comes to press up is your hand and arm position...
Turning you hands in and flaring your elbows out like I am in the 1st picture puts a lot of strain on your wrists, elbows, and shoulders, minimises the activation of your chest muscles along with triceps, and increases the risk of injury...
Instead focus on screwing your hands into the floor and bringing your elbows closer to your body like I do in the 2nd picture. You’ll get more muscle activation, less strain on your joints, and reduce the risk of injuring yourself...
When doing press ups correctly your body should resemble an arrow when looking from above ⬆️
