Can someone explain how we are already almost into February please!? This month has flown by so far. How are you getting on with your goals? Still going strong I hope!
If you are looking for a little accountability, goal and ability focussed programming and as much ongoing support as you might need, I have a few online training places available. If you want to find out more, check out some of my client testimonials and get in touch!
Now, on to the round up of the past week.
Social media stuff

Exercise tweaks to minimise momentum
How to strengthen your weak lower traps
A simple fix for elbow pain on wide rows
Articles of the week
The round up of the best training and nutrition articles of the past week.
Factors affecting squat performance
Your big toe and your squat performance
And since it seems to be squat week, 6 progressions to super squats
Workout of the week
1 piece of equipment workout.
Grab yourself a pair (or 2) of DBs and a bench.
Set a timer for 30s rounds, with 30s rest.
Do the following, aiming for as many good reps as you can in the time given.
DB press
DB RDL
DB Front squat
DB chest supported row
DB loaded crunch.
Rest 2 minutes and repeat for 3 rounds.
You’ll probably find you can use the same weight for the press, front squat and crunch, and a heavier load for the rdl and row. Keep the technique looking pretty, don’t sacrifice quality for load and sloppy reps!
Have an awesome Sunday.
Stay strong,
Dave
