Looking to build bigger arms? TFR PT James is here to tell you how...

“If you are struggling to grow your arms, I find it helps to have a dedicated Arm Day to increase weekly volume on the muscle group.

A lot of people will throw some triceps in after a chest day and some biceps in after a back day... this is still a good way to hit the arms, but it can lack the volume and intensity a dedicated arm day can provide to your training.

I always start with triceps; this ensures my elbows are warmed up prior to doing biceps. It also helps to get some blood moving into the muscle, and for me personally, I find triceps movements can be a bit heavier than biceps, so I like to do those whilst I have a higher energy level.

For triceps I do 2 cable movements to start, a heavier compound press down and a lighter unilateral movement. I find this warms my triceps up perfectly for the final heavier dumbbell movement; here’s my current three triceps exercises with sets and reps:

A: Straight Bar Cable Pushdown, Pronated Grip: 3 sets – 8-15 reps

B: Single Arm SG Cable Ext, Supinated Grip: 2 Sets - 10-15 Reps

C: DB Rolling Tricep Extension: 2 Sets - 6-10 Reps

Now my arms are warmer, I’ll move onto biceps...

Because I find my biceps fatigue quicker than my triceps, I like to start with the bigger bicep movement first; which allows me to utilise my remaining energy efficiently and get the most out of the exercise. I start with a superset of exercises to push as much blood as possible into the biceps. I also like to perform a drop-set for my final sets, lowering the weight and trying to match the reps, as my arms fatigue. Here are my current bicep exercises:

D1: BB Bicep Curls: 3 Sets – 10-15 Reps
D2: DB Reverse Curls: 3 Sets – 10-15 Reps

E1: Single Arm DB Preacher Curl: 2 Sets – 8-12 Reps

F1: DB Wrist Curls: 2 Sets – 12-20 Reps

Dedicated Arm Days don’t need to be complex or take a lifetime. Both triceps and biceps work with simple movements, so don’t overcomplicate them. Focus on the control and contraction, and give this a go next time you want to hit arms!

Our team of expert Personal Trainers is growing, and we’re excited to welcome Lucas to The Fitting Rooms gym in London Bridge!

Here’s a little insight into his journey to joining us today...

What does your fitness background look like?
“Sport has been a major part of my life from a young age, with a particular passion for cycling and running. During my youth cycling career, I competed at national level, training and racing in a structured performance environment, and I continue to take part regularly in cycling and endurance events today. With a BSc in Sports Performance & Coaching and an MSc in Sport & Exercise Science, specialising in Sports Nutrition, I combine my academic knowledge with first-hand experience of performance training. I’m passionate about using evidence-based training, nutrition and coaching to help clients become stronger, healthier and more confident, whatever their starting point or goals.”

How do you like to train yourself?
“A lot of my training is centred around cycling and improving my performance on the bike. Therefore, I do a lot of strength and conditioning, injury prevention, explosive power and core training to get the most out of my sessions.”

Tell us a little about your life outside the gym?
“I lived in Germany for seven years, which taught me a lot of life skills and gave me the opportunity to experience a different culture. Another passion of mine is nutrition, and I’ve worked as a chef throughout my studies, which I’ve been able to carry over into my sport and coaching by focusing on optimising nutrition for performance.”

Whether you’re training in 1-1, Partner or Shared PT - Lucas is available for bookings now and ready to help you achieve your best!

The Fitting Rooms is excited to welcome Sam to our team of expert Personal Trainers in London Bridge.

Let’s learn a little more about Sam, in his own words...

What’s your background in health & fitness?
“I’ve been interested in fitness and sport from a young age, so going into coaching felt like a natural path for me; and I now have a 10 years’ experience as a Personal Trainer and Strength & Conditioning coach. Throughout my coaching journey, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a hugely diverse range of clientele, from athletes across different sports looking to boost performance, to general population clients simply wanting to improve their overall health, fitness and wellbeing. My goal is always to help individuals become more confident in the gym and maximise their full potential in life.”

What does your own training look like?
“My own training in the early years was largely centred around athletics, sprint training and strength. As I’ve continued to learn and gain experience, my approach has naturally evolved and I have become increasingly interested in a more holistic approach to health and performance. The way we move, recover, manage stress and look after ourselves can all have a big impact on how we feel and perform in our day to day lives and I now incorporate different styles of yoga and Ayurvedic principles alongside my own strength training.”

Tell us something about your life outside the gym...
“Outside of training, I’m a huge lover of music and a bit of a vinyl obsessive. I spend a lot of my spare time digging through record shops, hunting for old records and adding to my collection.”

We know you’re going to love training with Sam, so be sure to check out his availability next time you’re in!

High protein, low calorie sticky Korean beef bowl…

If you’re trying to eat more protein or keep calories under control, meals definitely don’t need to mean plain chicken, rice and broccoli on repeat.

These sticky Korean-style beef bowls are packed with flavour, ready in around 20 minutes and deliver plenty of protein without piling on the calories. You get savoury, slightly sweet and spicy beef, fluffy rice and loads of crunchy vegetables all in one bowl. Perfect for a quick dinner, post-workout meal or meal prep for the next day.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

500g 5% fat beef mince
1 tsp cooking oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
2 tbsp gochujang paste*
3 tbsp reduced-salt soy sauce
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp honey
1/2 tbsp cornflour
3 tbsp water
1 medium carrot, grated
1 cucumber, thinly sliced
4 spring onions, finely sliced
Optional fresh chilli or chilli flakes

* If you cant get hold of gochujang paste: replace with 1 tbsp sriracha + 2 tsp tomato purée + 1 tsp honey.

Method

Start by making the sticky Korean-style sauce. Mix the gochujang, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, cornflour and water together in a small bowl until smooth.

Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef mince and cook for around 5 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.

Once the beef is nicely browned and cooked through, add the carrot, garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for a few minutes, until fragrant.

Pour in the sauce and stir everything together. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly. The sauce should reduce and become glossy and sticky, coating the beef.

Serve in bowls with basmati or jasmine rice and top with the cucumber and spring onions. Add some fresh chilli or chilli flakes if you want an extra kick.

Is your Bench Press set-up holding back your lift?

When it comes to Bench Pressing, so many people will lie on the bench, un-rack the bar and press. That’s it. No setup, no tension, no plan, and then wonder why the weight feels heavier than it should and their progress has plateaued.

Here are four simple but effective setup cues to get the most out of every rep, every set...

1 - Set your shoulder blades first: Retract and depress your shoulder blades, squeezing them together downwards to open up your chest. Do this before you un-rack. This gives you a stable base to press from and protects your shoulders under load.

2 - Eyes under the bar: Your eyes should be lined up under the bar at the bottom position, not your forehead or chin. Get this wrong and your bar path, and your leverage, is off before you’ve even started.

3 - Break the bar: Actively try to break or bend the bar, as if you’re trying to snap it in half, by twisting your hands outwards as you grip. This helps to fire up your lats, which stabilises the bar and increases your control throughout the movement.

4 - Follow a J-curve: The bar shouldn’t travel straight up and down, instead, lower the bar down and slightly forwards, to end between the sternum and just under your ni***es (depending on your positioning). As you press back up, drive the bar slightly backwards to finish further towards your shoulders. This allows your chest, triceps and lats to push more efficiently for a great power potential.

These are four simple cues that can significantly change how the bar feels in your hands, how stable you are under the bar, and how much weight you can actually move.

Go through each step next time you press and see what a difference it makes!

Taking a GLP-1 for weight loss? Don’t forget about your muscle...

When you’re losing weight, the number on the scales doesn’t tell the whole story.

Some of the weight you lose may be lean mass (muscle, bone density and other essential tissues) which is why protecting your muscle and strength should be part of the conversation.

Strength training gives your body an important reason to hold onto muscle while you lose weight.

Combined with good nutrition and adequate protein, it can help you focus on what really matters:

-Losing excess body fat
-Maintaining muscle and strength
-Staying physically capable
-Supporting your long-term health

The goal isn’t just to become lighter. It’s to look more toned, become stronger, move better and feel more confident in your body.

If you’re taking a GLP-1, now could be the perfect time to start strength training and invest in the body you want to take forward with you.

Sign up on our website for your free Taster session, to begin your journey to a stronger, healthier and happier you!
