Specific resistance training is fundamental to keeping our joints strong and healthy. The biceps brachii assists in a variety of joint movements, not just flexion of the elbow. There is a longhead bicep and a short head bicep. The longhead assists in lifting the arm out the the side and the short head assists in bringing the arm back in to the body.
Did you know we also have the biceps femoris, though these are the name of the hamstrings.

If you have an injury or symptoms please always have a check up with the doctor for a diagnosis and medical or physio help.
We specialise in exercise mechanics and often help clients with long term chronic pain. Building strength is key to longer term resolvement of knee pain and msk injuries.
With all the exercises, move slowly trying to learn control of the movement rather than sudden movements. Don’t try to get more height in the leg raises or go deeper in the RDL if it compromises your form. You will find as you build strength your range and flexibility will also improve. In terms if rep ranges start low between 3-6 and build up from there.
We are still learning video content to its tricky to cover everything but if you have any questions ask in the comments! All our bodies are different so technique can be adapted for your capabilities and joints.

Varying the bench angle when doing your bicep curls changes the resistance your biceps and the rest of your elbow flexor have to fight against. The top two angles work best to challenge these muscles throughout their full range.

If you are worried about going to the gym then remember - everyone was a gym beginner at some stage. Our gym is private personal training only and we often help people who are nervous about training or don’t know where to begin learn about training and exercise to suit their bodies. But if a PT is out of budget remember there are fitness staff at gyms that can help you with machines which will help you feel more confident in the gym!

Things, I wish I knew in my 20s before going to the gym - triceps edition.
There’s normally a good reason why we aren’t feeling the target muscles in a specific exercise. Here is a tip for tricep extensions if you feel your shoulders are burning instead of your triceps.

Working in the fitness industry for 13 years I’ve come across many diet fads and nutrition myths. It’s one of the reasons I wanted to qualify as a nutritionist - to help share evidence based information and ultimately help people make the best choices suited for their goals, health and lifestyle.
What nutrition myths or diet culture schools of thought have you come across?

How to prevent injury in the gym for gym beginners - part 3.
To gain strength through every degree of movement you will benefit from moving with control rather than trying to launch the weight up. In this example we show how to stimulate the biceps throughout the full range of the elbow joint.

Taking rest days will help you have more energy in sessions, train with more focus and help your body recover so you can get stronger and minimise risk of injury in the gym. The harder you train, the more rest days you may need though it is possible to train everyday with lower intensity sessions built in. Posting part 3 soon!

Here are a few facts about creatine monohydrate. It’s a widely researched supplement that can benefit everyone (and those with older age related concerns) from wanting to build strength and muscle, improve performance while training through to improving cognitive function. Always check with a doctor if you are unsure if a supplement is ok for you to take.

Sled track challenge. Please only try this if you are injury free and have been training / built up lower body strength to be able to do this exercise. If you are new to training build up some strength first before trying the challenge, and when you do take it at your own pace before trying for time! Post your times below!

This is an ab crunch variation that is easier than doing crunches from a flat surface. Your neck might hurt if the exercise is too challenging so by making the exercise easier, you can get your abs stronger more efficiently and reduce neck pain before trying a harder version. Please note that all gym benches might have different angles. Any questions let us know in the comments!

Doing a lateral raise with a cable set at hand height will appropriately challenge the middle deltoid from the start of the movement to the end of the movement. This will help you increase strength and size, challenging the muscle throughout all of the range you are working in, unlike the dumbbell version where we are mainly challenged only towards the top of the movement.

If you are new to training in the gym and lifting weights, here is a tip to help prevent injury. If you are using a slower tempo you can learn to control the movement but also make sure you choose a weight you can control the full movement in, (rather than lifting too heavy so it compromises the exercise).
