BOB BEAT CANCER!!

What an incredible moment for this man, he had the scare of his life and that wasn’t enough to stop him. Instead he got out and took complete charge of his physical health whilst undergoing cancer treatment.

To start the gym at a young age of 55 was no mean feat, Bob was anxious and nervous at the idea of joining a gym but knew something had to change. He’d started his weight loss journey during lockdown and I was lucky enough to meet him during his first visit to the gym. After a brief conversation about structure and starting slow I managed to put his mind at ease.

Over the last few months he’s pushed, pulled and moved better than he’s ever done and I couldn’t be more proud of the changes he’s making in his life whilst having a front row view of it all.

Here’s a reminder to face life challenges more like Bob💪

Here’s your friendly reminder to incorporate this versatile piece of kit into your training.
The landmine allows to you train vertically, horizontally and rotationally whilst giving you the stability a barbells or dumbbell may not offer in similar movements.

Let’s run through incline dumbbell bench press for …

This a great exercise, when done correctly targets the chest(pectoral muscle).

However, many people do this exercise without really feeling any tension in their pectorals, this is largely due to the position of the shoulder blades.

So here are a few key steps to help you get set up correctly.

1. Start by laying down on the bench, grab your dumbbells and extend your arms straight above your chest.
2. Retract your shoulder blades (think of holding a pen between your shoulder blades)
3. Once you’re set, lower the dumbbell just wide of your rib cage. Elbows will naturally drop lower than your chest (if you maintain that retraction) creating a stretching sensation before pressing(push) back to the top.
4. At the top, do not fully extend the arms as this will cause your to roll your shoulders out of position, always maintain a slight bend in the arms on the press to keep the tension on your chest.

Barbell bent over row

In this video we look at the pronated grip version of this exercise (hands over the bar, knuckles at the top).

Here are a few key points to help with your form on this exercise.

Bad points:
An arched back in any bent over exercise is often caused by a pelvic tilt, this creates an arched shape in the spine putting huge amounts of strain on the lower back.

The second common mistake is the one of people often pulling the bar to their chest, this causes the elbows to pop out that causes disengagement in the latts and rhomboids which are the primary target muscle group during this exercise.

Good points:
Start with a slight bend in the knees and push your hips away from the bar, chest out toward the floor and eyes fixed down. This should allow you to have more of a neutral spinal position.

Time to focus on the pull, the bar should hover just above the front of your legs (think of using the bar to shave your legs). Lastly when you pull, use your elbows coming in by your side to create a pinch/squeeze in the middle of your back.

Box jump...

Great plyometric movement that targets the lower body muscles, when done right this movement can help improve explosive power and strength in sports or for the general gym goer its a serious calorie burner that spikes your heart rate. Not a huge fan of jumping down because you’re not loading your muscles on the way down so I prefer to step down which also minimises the risk of landing back down in the wrong position.

Rope pull down

The most common mistake when doing this exercise is allowing the elbows to move. Keeping the elbow still in position(not pressed against your body) allows you to fully lengthen the tricep and cuts out any movement in the front delt. Pull down and split your hands towards your pockets to finish at the bottom.
