As we all know, men's mental health is a rapidly growing challenge to the general population, as cases worldwide continue to grow. Yet a stigma still remains around being open and talking about it, and how it affects everyone. Movember is a globally recognised organisation, and encourages men around the world to share with and support one another to combat and overcome this challenge together.

Fitness and exercise are hugely beneficial to mental health. I want to encourage and challenge anyone and everyone struggling with their mental health to get into a regular exercise routine, and prove to you just how much your fitness and physical wellbeing can have an impact on your mental health!

Please see the link below for the Finlake Fitness Tean’s Movember Fundraising Page – any and all support and contributions are greatly appreciated!

After 7 brilliant years at Winners, I have now closed my books and moved on to a new challenge

An enormous thank you to all of my clients and colleagues over some very memorable years. It has been an absolute pleasure and I have every intention of maintaining all of these relationships moving forward - it would be a huge loss if I didn't and I'm very grateful for all the people and opportunities that the role has introduced me to

Stay positive and look after those closest to you

Some tips for training hypertrophy

Correct rep ranges - for physique based training, generally you want to work in the 8-15 rep range. Anything with 6 reps or less is generally more strength based. If physique is the goal and you are not getting at least 8 reps, reduce the weight you're using

Time under tension - Time under tension starves the muscles of oxygen and causes build up of lactic acid, which is exactly what you need to shape and grow your muscles. The slower your reps are, the more easily this will be achieved.

Mind muscle connection - you really want to FEEL the movement in the right places, and not just move the weight from A to B. If you are not feeling it where you want to, you should consider....

Manipulating your angles - position yourself in a way that you can hit the target muscle more easily. For example, some people feel chest Fly's in their shoulder due to a forward tilt of the torso. As Craig is demonstrating in the video, bring your chest up, retract your shoulder blades and brace your core. This will prevent you from dragging your shoulders forward into the movement, meaning you can isolate your chest more easily

DM me if you have any questions about the above

Increasing your training intensity 🏋️

I've been training at a fairly medium pace and advised others to do much the same. However, now that we have all had a couple of weeks to settle back into gym training, it's a good time to think about introducing more advanced/difficult training methods into your exercise programme.

Here I am doing a simple drop set on the lat pulldown. Drop sets are a great way to increase training volume and train beyond failure, by reaching fatigue on a a given weight, dropping the weight and continuing to rep it out. You will get a strong lactic acid burn with this particular method, which will greatly contribute to improved physique over a period of time.

I'd recommend only using this method on machines - with the nature of this method, you can really burn out and in turn your technique may take a hit. With the nature of machines, you cannot go too far wrong with your technique, so this is a more sensible way to use this particular method.

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Lockdown challenge update! So with the announcement earlier this week that gyms will not open at the beginning of July as we had hoped, I have decided to extend the challenge from 8 weeks to 12 weeks. This gives you guys and myself the opportunity to really nail the next 6 weeks with a consistent, disciplined effort.

I will be posting more regularly to support you on this challenge and also check in with you all more frequently moving forwards. Please update me with your progress and any questions you may have!

Ps excuse me being the most awkward person ever on camera. Breaking out of my comfort zone and all that! 🤷🏼‍♂️

How is your training and diet during this isolation period?

Went for some heavy overhead today. This week is my last week on this current training phase. I'm looking at building to one heavy set on each exercise before a few sets at a lighter weight. Great way of keeping your body guessing is to change your reps slightly each week - so on this phase I went with 12's first week, then 10's, 8's and 5's for the final week.

The push press is a great way of busting plateaus in your pressing strength, as you can safely and effectively overload the shoulders with more weight than you would usually work with. One of my go to exercises for growing bigger shoulders

Training is going very well at the moment but my body is crying for some time off, just in time for a week away next week!

On a bit of a role at the moment! I know I keep going on about it lately, but honestly, having an end goal, a deadline, a plan and some accountability goes a hell of a long way towards success. I now have all of those factors in place, and my training and nutrition have been so good! My energy is up, my motivation is up, my performance and recovery have improved massively. ⁣
⁣
Another bench video today with an attempt at bodyweight (85kg) for as many reps as possible. I was aiming for 12 but surprised myself (and by the looks of it) with 15 reps. ⁣
⁣
Are you achieving your goals and making progress? If not, ask yourself - do you have a goal, a plan and some accountability in place? What would help you - a tailor made training programme and diet plan to stick to? A few personal training sessions for motivation and accountability? ⁣
⁣
Try some different approaches and find out what works best for you!⁣
