Break through plateaus by making your body comfortable with lifting heavier weights

I have been busted by the Form Police! Just recently I’ve posted a video update of my training progress. While the weight might seem impressive for some of you (190kgs), the form wasn’t.

Build up slowly for best results

A good way to set up a strength program is to use your own body weight (BW) as a reference point. For example, if you weigh 80kg set up your program as such. Bench press 30% of BW x 15 reps – 50% of BW for 10 reps – 75% of BW for 5 reps. Now […]

This article is all about dumbbell storage racks! Most of our dumbbell sets already come with a rack, but not everyone purchases all their dumbbells in one go.

The Standing T-Bar Row Machine is highly recommended if you want to build a strong back. But we understand it may be out of everyones price range, and you might be working with limited space.

Landmine attachments exploded in popularity when functional training burst onto the scene.

Firstly gym goers can be notoriously […]

A lat pulldown machine is an age old piece of gym equipment – traditional lat pulldowns were popular because they mimicked the movement of a pullup but you could use less weight and go for more reps if you weren’t great at pullups (like me).

If you’re starting a home gym from scratch, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of choice you have. Especially which piece of equipment should be the centrepiece of your new gym.
