🍑 FORM FRIDAY: HIP ABDUCTION MACHINE 🍑

Think there’s only one way to use the hip abduction machine? Think again! 👀

This week, we’re showing you how changing your body position can alter the emphasis of the exercise and help you target different areas of your glutes.

Here are 3 variations to try:

1️⃣ Upright Position
Sitting upright places greater emphasis on your side glutes, particularly the glute medius and minimus, which play an important role in hip stability.

2️⃣ Leaning Forward
Hinging forward from the hips changes the angle of the movement and can increase the contribution from your glute max, the largest muscle in your glutes.

3️⃣ Open Hip Position
Opening up your hips and leaning back provides another angle of resistance, helping you work your glutes through a different position.

💡 Our tip: Don’t just focus on moving the heaviest weight possible. Control the movement, avoid bouncing and focus on feeling your glutes working.

Remember, there’s no single ‘best’ position. Different variations can help you challenge your muscles in different ways.

Save this one and give all three a try next leg day! 💪

🚨 FORM FRIDAY: THE SWISS BAR 🚨

You’ve probably seen this bar in the gym, but do you know what you can actually do with it? 👀

Our Swiss Bar weighs 30kg and has four different hand positions, allowing you to change your grip and the emphasis of exercises you already know.

The neutral grip options can also provide a more comfortable pressing position for some people, particularly through the shoulders.

This week takes us through 5 ways to use it:

1️⃣ Close-Grip Bench Press
Bring the grip in and increase the contribution from your triceps.
👉 Close grip = more triceps.

2️⃣ Underhand Bench Press
Changing your grip alters the pressing mechanics and can place more emphasis on the upper chest.
👉 Underhand = upper chest bias.

3️⃣ Overhead Press
The neutral grip keeps your palms facing each other, which can feel more natural and comfortable at the shoulder than a traditional straight-bar press.
👉 Neutral grip. Strong, narrower press.

4️⃣ Bent-Over Lat Row
Drive the elbows back towards your hips to get more from your lats, with plenty of contribution from the biceps too.
👉 Elbows to hips, not hands to chest.

5️⃣ Kelso Row
This one is all about the upper back. Keep the arms straight and retract the shoulder blades rather than turning it into a conventional row.
👉 Straight arms. Shoulder blades back. Squeeze.

Same familiar movements. Different grip, different stimulus. 💪

Save this one and give the Swiss Bar a go next time you train!

❤️ World Heart Day - Don't Miss a Beat

Today is World Heart Day, a global reminder of the importance of looking after our cardiovascular health.

- 'Blood Pressure Drop In' today the team will be available for a blood pressure and RHR check.

Regular movement is one of the everyday habits that can support a healthier heart, whether that's strength training, cardio, walking or simply finding more opportunities to stay active.

This year's message, 'Don't Miss a Beat', also highlights the importance of recognising the signs and symptoms of cardiovascular disease and taking heart health seriously.

Small, consistent choices can make a meaningful difference over time.

Keep moving. Keep learning. Look after your heart. 💪

🚨 FORM FRIDAY: BUILDING UP TO YOUR FIRST PULL-UP 🚨

Pull-ups are tough. And if you can’t do one yet, simply attempting them over and over probably isn’t the best way to get there. 👀

This week, we’re looking at exercises you can use to build the strength needed for your first pull-up.

💪 Lat pulldowns to build your back strength
🔥 Inverted rows to practise pulling your bodyweight
✊ Dead hangs to improve grip strength and get comfortable hanging from the bar
🏋️ Assisted pull-ups to practise the movement while reducing the amount of bodyweight you’re lifting

Build the foundations, stay consistent and gradually reduce the assistance as you get stronger.

Your first pull-up might be closer than you think. 👀

Save this one and give these a go!
