Did you know training biceps before triceps could be better for your elbows? 👀

The order you train your muscles can make more of a difference than you might think.

Starting with biceps first can help reduce the stress placed on your elbows during your arm session.

More of Mark’s top training tips coming soon. 💪

MACHINE MASTERCLASS #5 - LAT PULLDOWN

Getting the most out of your lat pulldown comes down to a few simple adjustments:

👉 Use an overhand grip with your arms slightly tucked in
👉 Squeeze and contract your lats at the bottom of the movement
👉 Choose a weight you can control. If it’s too heavy, you won’t be able to get that full contraction

Try these adjustments on your next back session and see how they feel.

BEGINNER’S GUIDE – BENCH PRESS 🏋️‍♀️

If you’re new to the bench press, getting your set-up right is just as important as the movement itself.

✅ Make sure the safety bars are set to the correct height
✅ Set yourself up with a stable position on the bench
✅ Start with a weight you can control confidently
✅ If you’re unsure, ask a member of the team for help

We’ll be covering more bench press techniques in the future, but for now, focus on getting the basics right and staying safe.
