Nutrition has one of the greatest effects on our body’s ability to perform at it’s true potential.

Tracking your nutrition can be incredibly useful when working towards a training goal.

Don’t ignore it! 💪 Use it to your advantage.

My preferred tracking app is Cronometer, although any good tracking app will work just fine 👍

Much love,

Weight gain done right!

This is
She came to me as a complete beginner to the gym, ready to start her journey.

Her goal was to put on weight and gain strength and endurance in a healthy and consistent manner.
Over her contract she managed to gain 5kg, whilst increasing her overall strength and endurance.

The results speak for themselves.. 🙌

Nancy you have been fantastic to work with and I admire your motivation and willingness to learn and progress.

You are incredible 💪 keep up the hard work!

Triceps.. The forgotten child. Let’s get them jacked! 💪

Triceps actually make up a very large portion of the arm. So, for all you people out there looking for those jacked tree branches, listen up!

Triceps are awesome, and always overshadowed by their brother biceps.. But let’s give them some love shall we?

Tricep pushdowns are probably the most common exercise, so let’s start with those for today 🙂
When doing the pushdown, the most common mistake I seem to come across involves tension angles.
People will extend their pushdown so that the cable is basically inline with the arm, creating a very acute angle from the cable to the arm.
This means in the extended position you are actually removing some tension from the triceps.

By taking a small step back, in the extended position we have created a wider angle from the cable to the arm. This means there will be more tension (heavier weight) in the extended position.
Be sure to keep your elbows as still as possible at all times, and hold every rep for about 2 seconds or so before releasing into the eccentric. Burn them out as much as you bloody can!

Give it a tri (yes, pun inteded 😉)

Much love,
Jay
