Ignore my sweaty head, I was in the middle of a workout. Probably lifting loads of weight. No big deal. Anyway, focus on the things I say, not how shit I look. #flexfriday #knowledgebombs

Here are Evolve clients @johannknobel and @freddie_newman . Two beastly men capable of killing an antelope with a single headbutt, eating extra hot Nandos with a totally neutral expression, and most important of all... Deadlifting a shitload of weight.
//
But, you may notice a subtle difference. While Johan is using a mixed grip (one palm forwards, one palm backwards) to hoist his Herculean iron, Freddie uses wrist straps.
//
What’s the difference? Does it matter?
We shall tell you.
//
The mixed grip is a very effective way to improve gripping strength, because the bar can’t roll out of your hands in any one direction. Watch any power lifter deadlift and chances are they’ll use a mixed grip. But it does come with a *slightly* increased risk to your bicep. Some lifters have torn their bicep going extra heavy, almost always on the supinated (palm turned forward) side.
//
So how should you incorporate it?
💪
1. ALL warm-up sets should be performed with a standard pronated (double overhand) grip.
💪
2. All work sets should be performed with a pronated grip *until* it becomes the limiting factor.
💪
3. Once grip becomes a limiting factor, switch to a mixed grip….alternating back and forth with every set.
💪
4. When performing max effort work, use the alternate grip that feels most “natural” (often this is with the dominant hand pronated). Any imbalance should be largely offset by alternating grips on all other sets.
//
What about straps?
//
First of all, it’s fine to use straps. You’re not breaking some unspoken gym rule. They’re a tool, and should be used as such, appropriately, when necessary and not as a crutch.
//
As before, perform all warm up/work up sets until grip becomes a limiting factor.
//
Remember that the duration of the set is often more of a challenge to the grip than the weight itself. So consider straps more for higher rep sets. (Remembering that when it comes to deadlift, anything over five reps is considered high reps!)
//
Think about your goals. Although the only time this is a major factor is if you plan to compete in a powerlifting competition where straps aren’t allowed. Since that describes literally zero of our clients, who really cares?

Personal trainers have a bit of a reputation for being boring bastards. It’s hard to know where this reputation started, but we suspect it’s because they’re boring bastards.
//
Say what you like about us, but one thing we’re not is boring.
//
Take a look at our cookbook for example. We give this to every client, and aside from having tonnes of useful nutrition info and recipes, it’s funny. How many funny cookbooks have you read? Admittedly Jamie Oliver is quite funny but that’s mainly because his tongue is two sizes too big for his mouth.
//
Anyway, our recipe book is great.

The New Covid Rules and Evolve // You just get bac

The New Covid Rules and Evolve
//
You just get back on your feet and they whip the carpet out from under you eh?
//
As of Monday, new Covid rules stipulate that we can’t gather in groups of more than six to socialise. We imagine you might be wondering how that affects your ability to work out at a proper gym. We’ve only just recovered from an enforced diet of body weight squats and push ups for five months. Please don’t tell us we’re about to be deprived of actual progressive resistance again?
//
Well don’t worry, you’re not.
//
Firstly gyms are not affected by the new ruling. It applies to social gatherings, and gyms come under the provisions for bars and restaurants. If the general plan is to limit close interactions, they’re choosing to sacrifice parties so businesses can stay open. Bad news if you had a big birthday coming up, good news if you like eating out, working out, and pints.
//
So given we are already a private, appointment only gym with large square footage, we can adhere to social distancing guidelines meaning you can continue to train under our expert guidance without fear.
//
Of course we’ll continue to adjust our approach as per government guidelines, but we’re 100% confident in our ability to provide a safe environment for our clients.
//
Have a great weekend
Tim

#throwbackthursday to that time when the world was normal and we could have could have parties. This was @scarlethollands_ifbbpro trying to split herself in half on @leebennettprimalwarrior at our summer party.

Will there be a Christmas party? Will it ever be normal? How big is your bubble?
