❗️If you could only give 3 pieces of advice to a complete beginner wanting to get in to gym what would it be? Comment below!❗️
📍TRAIN SIMPLE - I’m in a position now where I’m basing my training off biomechanics, Exercise profiles, research studies and things that as a beginner looking to change their physique is not necessary. At the beginning what you need to do is have a basic majority free weight training plan and focus on executing perfect form every rep, this gets you in good practice for the rest of your life, if you start with bad form because it’s an easier way to lift the weight, your body and CNS will try and do that every session and it will lead to injuries and won’t be optimal for training.
📍GOAL ACHIEVING IS 75% NUTRITION - People will be quick to say ‘I want to gain muscle’ and then won’t even change their nutrition. It is important to understand that changes in your physique come from manipulating your calories and macros to suit your body and goal. Gaining muscle or strength over a long period of time will require adequate fuel, don’t neglect it.
📍REST PROPERLY - Both in between sets and around training sessions. Rest and Sleep is were we grow the most. Most ‘new year, new me’ gym goers will feel exhausted and even worse even though they’ve made a positive change to their life. Why? Because they go in all guns blazing, try and do to much and go every day and then wonder why their body is crying to go back to sitting on the couch. Change is uncomfortable yes, but going the gym 7 days per week and sleeping sun 6 hours a day is unsustainable. Make sure you plan times of rest and recovery, your body will thank you for it.

RESISTANCE BANDS! 🔗
Resistance Bands are a great tool in training, for such a small piece of equipment they can pack a punch! Some even add up to 150lb of resistance to the exercise!

If you’re ‘struggling to progress’ but you haven’t implemented tools like adding bands instead of more weight then you’re not trying everything necessary to progress.

The good thing about the resistance band here is as I move up to full extension the movement gets harder with it being at peak resistance at the top of the movement meaning I can’t really lock out without still feeling the resistance, then as it pulls back on the eccentric part it forces you to focus on not dropping your arms back and letting the weight fall.

Note: make sure your resistance bands are balanced as additional resistance on one side repeatedly over time can cause muscle imbalance!💪🏼
