The trap bar (or hex bar) deadlift is a variation where you stand inside a hexagonal frame and use a neutral, palms-facing grip. It aligns the load with your center of gravity, reducing lower back stress and putting more emphasis on your quads compared to a conventional barbell deadlift.

Stop down to The Hero Gym and try out our trap bar!

Battle rope workouts are certainly tough, but the benefits are worth it!

⭐Battle ropes are great at developing functional strength. Battle ropes force your muscles to work in unison and this helps develop other skills such as coordination, balance and stability.

⭐Functional training will improve athletic performance, specifically speed, power, strength, flexibility, agility, balance, and aerobic and muscular endurance. This is made possible by the inclusion of multidimensional and multiplane movement patterns, acceleration, deceleration, and stability movements. Battle ropes can improve your core strength, power, and endurance.

⭐Battle ropes are ideal to include in any sort of HIIT workout.

⭐Battle ropes are a great tool to target for a full body workout. The short bursts of using the rope can stimulate fat loss and promote muscle gain.

Next time you come down to The Hero Gym, don't forget to incorporate battle ropes into your next workout!

Preacher curls are a bicep-isolating exercise where you rest your arms on a padded bench or incline to stabilize the shoulders and focus on curling a weight, either a barbell or dumbbells. They provide a deep stretch at the bottom and a strong contraction at the top, targeting the biceps brachii. To perform them, sit on the bench, place your elbows on the pad, use an underhand grip, and slowly curl the weight up while keeping your elbows stable. Lower the weight slowly and with control, maintaining tension on the biceps throughout the movement.
