Knowing how many warm up sets you should do on the barbell bench press isn’t always straightforward.

It depends on two things

What weight are you lifting and what do you feel you need.

I tend to find 60kg is a good marker as to whether I do 1 or 2 warm up sets.

So if you’re lifting 60kg or less, just the bar should be fine.

More than 60kg add a 2nd warm up set.

If there’s a machine or exercise you’ve been avoiding in the gym because you don’t know how to do it, then I want you to go give it a try next time.

We’re not aiming to do perfect reps, keep the weight light and just get some idea of the movement and how the machine itself works.

Then go home, look up the exercise, see how to do it correctly, save the video and keep it to hand the next time you go to the gym.

Repeat this process as many times as needed until you feel comfortable with the exercise.

Here’s a 2 day training routine.

Aim to do 3 sets of 8-12reps on each exercise.

With a weight that leaves you with maybe one more rep left in the tank on each set.

Comment “30days” and I will walk you through how to get more from your time in the gym.

Back in May and June I had a few new clients start training with me.

They wanted to get fitter, build some muscle, lose a bit of weight and generally feel better about themselves.

Nothing unusual there.

But over the last couple of weeks, something quite nice has started happening.

I've had multiple clients telling me that their partners, friends and family have started noticing the changes.

Whether it's a partner commenting on their shoulders, someone noticing more definition in their arms and legs, or simply being told they look like they've been working out.

Now these aren't people who've been training for years.

We're talking about roughly 3-4 months of consistent work.

And the changes are becoming noticeable enough that other people are commenting on them.

I love hearing things like this.

Because when you see yourself in the mirror every single day, it's easy to miss the gradual changes happening over time.

You might feel like you're making progress, but struggle to see much difference when you look at yourself.

Then someone close to you says something like:

“You've been working out, haven't you? You look great!”

And suddenly all that effort feels worthwhile.

Of course, compliments aren't the only reason to train.

Getting stronger, feeling fitter, having more energy and feeling more confident are all great results in their own right.

But there's something special about other people noticing the hard work you've been putting in.

And the best part?

You don't need to spend hours in the gym every day or completely overhaul your life to start making progress.

You just need a sensible plan, consistent effort and a bit of patience.

Imagine how different you could look and feel after the next 3-4 months.

I get asked this question a lot when working with clients and it doesn’t really make loads of difference which one you do.

Going lower isn’t always better with the Romanian Deadlift, when it comes from movement in the lower back.

Just find the point where your hips can’t travel any further back whilst your lower back stays still.

07/10/2026

Building a strong Romanian deadlift will make it so much easier to get set up for your bent over rows.

So if you’re struggling with the position of a bent over row then your Romanian deadlift probably needs some work.

06/10/2026

I’d also recommend you learn the RDL (Romanian Deadlift) before doing this movement because by learning that first you master the hip hinge.

If you master the hip hinge then the bent over row set up will be easy.

Are you struggling to do your first pull up?

Then follow the steps outlined in the video and you should eventually get there.

The important part now is to be consistent and patient because going through these stages can take time.

There will be days you feel you aren’t progressing but stick with it and trust the process.

When the dumbbell you want isn’t available it can be hard to know which direction you should go.

Whether that’s heavier or lighter.

With the rule of 11 you have an easy way to always know which way to go.

After your first set you can then judge hoe difficult the set felt and whether you should make any adjustments
