Don’t get me wrong, lat pulldowns are bloody fantastic for muscle & strength

but they won’t help with chin ups as much as you’d think…

drills like these will make you better at holding your bodyweight in the air

which is what most people are missing when it comes to chin ups

give them a crack

hope it helps 💪🏼

Nothing worse than worrying about all the do’s and don’ts when you’d rather just focus on your training

Like I said, there’s nothing dangerous going on here…

but you don’t need to make simple lifts more difficult

you don’t need to merge two decent lifts together

and you don’t need to copy flashy stuff you see on social media

simple exercises, done with good technique and plenty of effort over a long period of time - that’s all you need

My point here is that most personal trainers will repeat ‘feet shoulder width apart, bar across your neck and bring your hands close together’ as if any departure from that results in a bad squat

It doesn’t

Your proportions, your mobility, and what you’re trying to get out of the squat will all dictate what your squat should look like

I know it’s dead awkward when someone’s clearly waiting to use the machine you’re using, but as long as you’re not sat on your phone and resting for more than a couple of minutes, you’ve got nothing to worry about.

It’s a nice thing to offer to share, if you’re happy to do so, but it’s not a requirement!

Keep your rest to 1-3 mins, don’t sit there scrolling and no one will have any complaints.
