What Is Your Desert Island Exercise?
Jul 31st
Probably one of my most favorite bodyweight exercises that you can take anywhere and ticks so many boxes for muscles hit, mobility and flexibility and fat burning…
I’ve shown you mine, now show me your Desert Island exercise. Comment below…
NOT Another Dull Deadlift Video
Jul 28th
In response to the earlier BLOG post which showed some awful dead lift form, I spent some time today in the Gym with my Flipcam and recorded the correct way (in my opinion) to do a deadlift.
Post your comments and feedback below as normal.
Shoulder and Upper Back Exercise Video YTWL
Jul 27th
Here is the video I promised GRIV earlier showing the YTWL exercise, this is an excellent exercise for archers for mobility/flexibility and sorts out many of the issues with dodgy rotator cuff muscles.
If you’re not an archer, don’t think this is not an exercise for you… more than likely IT IS for you.
If you are interested in more archery related exercise stuff put you name and email address in the boxes below and i’ll let you know when I post some stuff.
The Worst Deadlift Form
Jul 21st
I was in Jack’s Gym this evening training one of my superstar clients, down in the main gym area. It is always interesting seeing how some of the guys in there train, I look at the physiques and wonder where they got their training programs from and where they learnt their exercise form!
There is a really good reason why, myself and my coaches are very particular with movement patterns and correct muscle engagement, we never give our clients a weight until they can demonstrate good technique and control, bodyweight exercises are essential for any one starting a new training routine.
Now I wish I had been quicker on my camera to catch this guy training but it was simply the worst deadlift form I had ever seen, so I did a quick search on Youtube and found something pretty close to what this guy was doing… The main difference was the guy was lifting 140kg plus with a lower back so rounded you could see the vertebrae sticking out through his shirt! It was quite painful to watch and just wonder what state his back is in after each session.
If you want to learn good technique for a deadlift, which just happens to be one of the most effective exercise for fat loss and all body strength, I will film and post a video tomorrow on how we get everyone to deadlift safely and effectively.
Are there any other exercises you want to see being demonstrated? Leave a comment below and we’ll get the cameras just for you.
