The easiest way to get into position for your chest supported row.

Hope it helps 👍

If you’ve ever wondered why you can lift a certain weight on one cable machine and can’t on another.

It’s because they can vary a lot, due to how each one is designed.

So if you find yourself using different cable machines don’t get too caught up on the numbers and just focus on the intensity of each individual set.

The Hack Squat machine is a great exercise to achieve a knee dominant squat, meaning it’s more Quad dominant.

But you won’t find a Hack Squat machine in every gym, even if you’re does it’s a popular peice of kit too so isn’t always easy to jump on at peak gym hours.

So in this video I run you through some simple alternatives.

Hip thrusts are a great exercise but they can be a pain to set up. Particularly if you are short on time.

And many gyms don’t have a dedicated hip thrust machine.

So a smith machine is a great option as it’s much quicker and easier to set up as well as load and unload plates.

And if the smith machine doesn’t drop low enough then here’s a way around that.

Do your chest flys look like bobs ?

The main things to think about are keeping the elbow still.

Keep the hands nice and wide, almost like you are scooping up all your winnings at a poker table.

Then try to close the gap between your elbows.

Do these 3 things and your cable chest flys will look and feel much better

Every time you complete a set ask yourself “how many more reps could I do?”

Most sets should be around 1-2 reps left in the tank.
Then on your last set push to 0-1

Probably the most awkward exercise when it comes to getting into position.

The controlled flop or knee supported are both quite good options 👍

Let me know which method you use, and whether I missed any

Your warm up doesn’t need to be complicated.

If your movement is typical low then yes jump on a piece of cardio for 10minutes.

If you have a particular area that’s prone to injury then do one or two mobility/ banded exercises to help strengthen it and prepare for your session.

If neither of the above applies to you then just doing easier versions of the exercise you are about to do, is normally enough to get you ready for your workout.

Warm up sets don’t need to be complicated.

Most of the time just grab a weight that’s 50% to 60% of your working weight.

Do 8-12 reps

Take your time. Don’t rush it.

Then do your working sets.

You don’t need warm up sets across all exercises, maybe just your first 2 exercises.

Then apply common sense.

If it’s a heavy weight and an exercise using a dumbbell or barbell then chances are you might be best having a lighter set before doing your working sets.
