MONDAY!
Today marks the start of another diet phase for me. Not because I was 'bulking' and now it's time to cut; but more because since my photoshoot, followed by the arrival of my daughter and Christmas, my birthday, my son and wife's birthdays, a family holiday...I've definitely been a bit lazy and endulging far too much ๐ท
As much as I'm enjoying the extra strength, it's time to rein it in a bit; hit the gym hard and reintroduce some extra cardio...but lets start with some legs shall we?! ๐
What's everyone doing with their Mondays? Getting after it I hope!

It was max test day for Chris and Jane in their deadlift class with me today!
Chris hit an impressive 160kg (with quite possibly some in reserve still), and Jane a big 117.5kg; at just about her absolute limit with that one! Absolute props to Jane for missing 115kg, then regrouping, getting in the zone and going on to smash that and then the 117.5 as well! ๐๐ผ
This now gives us two things: a figure to work out percentage based sessions moving forward (although percentages aren't the be all and end all, for reasons that this post is too short to explain) and more importantly - a number to beat when the time next comes to test 1RM again! And I'm nothing but confident that they will both put in the work in the mean time and come away with a new PB when that day comes!
Great lifting from both! ๐ช๐ผ

Don't mind me just slowly drip feeding all of my photoshoot pics, you know, to appease the narcissist in me. I'll run out eventually - and then I guess then I'll have to do another one ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ or maybe a show? ๐ค
Anyway, I'm told my posts should be educational, informative, so yeah - want a decent back? Do a lot of lat pull downs. There's a reason it's the first movement everyone learns for their back. Yes there is a vast combination of grips to adopt, attachments, different variations etc. But if you're relatively new to this - just stick to these ๐๐ผ Every gym has a simple cable pulldown (if it doesn't you need a new gym), so it's a great place to start.
What else should you do for your back? Get in touch and we can talk about it? ๐
And look out for my next installment: "Do some rows, too".

๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐น๐ถ๐ณ๐๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐!
Big shoutout to Jane, Jake and Dave for being part my first deadlift class yesterday at !
I had an absolute blast and loved getting to teach and share my knowledge on something that I love!
The guys did brilliantly; demonstrated good knowledge, lifted well, asked questions and took on my advice and followed instruction well! And I thibk all were able to take something away from the session in order to improve their deadlift going forward!
Hopefully all enjoyed it - they're all keen to come back for another and to learn more, so I guess that's something! ๐๐ป
And you can join them in learning how to safely and effectively grow your deadlift! DM or Comment 'DEADLIFT' below ๐๐ผ
