May’s Pump Check! No notes, really, just more of the same, I don’t see myself wanting to bulk. I don’t really enjoy it! Leg size is quite a priority going forward. But I’m happy (someone tell my face that) and I’ve got my health, that’s all that matters, folks! PT available through Gymworks Skelmersdale! Hit me up if you want to start working towards the beach in Dubai….😂

Someone give this man a kettlebell, ASAP! I’m a fan of home workouts, but this takes the cake… In all seriousness, apparently its something called DMI therapy? But I’m not an google
Got some cool shit coming up! Lot’s of work to get done, but excited for what’s ahead! With my main Man-with-the-Cam @dancollinsphoto (who bossed these!) 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 See you soon! 🫵🏼
A shoot with @pazzyg1992 is rarer than a sighting of the Loch Ness Monster, so when it happens you make sure you get enough photos! Always a pleasure bro 👊🏻 . . . . . . #Actor #ParryGlasspool #Photoshoot #Portrait #ActorsHeadshots #Headshot
Happy Monday folks! If you don’t get to urge to float up like a dainty little butterfly after competing a solid set of Lat Pulldowns….are you REALLY doing Lat Pulldowns correctly?? Are there any other strange habits you’ve developed since becoming a gym bro/bunny?? Let us know! #gymworks #mondaymotivation #daintybutterfly
You should be lucky to have friend’s so honest.
Happy Friday folks! It’s time to talk about the infamous, yet sutble, PT ‘tap’. It’s that little moment that you may or may not notice. Where a trainer doesn’t want to interrupt their client mid-conversation. So, instead of cutting you off, they just give the equipment a little “come on now” tap. Then we do it again, then again…😂 Please feel free to tell us about your dream you had last night, where you rode a pig around your childhood school while singing Taylor Swift. But just workout while you’re doing it! Have you got any gym partners who will do anything to distract you?? If not, i believe that’s you! 🫵🏼😂
When the PT’s check out the new studio! 😂😂 SO MUCH ROOM FOR ACTIVITIES! HURRY! JOIN TODAY AND BEAT THE PRICE INCREASE! £5 PER WEEK, ALL CLASSES INCLUDED!!!
Happy friday, folks! Today’s Guinea Pig adventure is….whatever the heck this move is called! I saw it, and I fancy myself a bit of a gymnast, so naturally, I thought….this looks super easy… Make sure you measure the TRX rope first! My knees barely survived 😅😅 I call this a success, though! Always open to more ideas! #guineapig #workout #gymworks
You wouldn’t do 100 Lat Pulldowns, or 100 Leg Presses (or maybe you would, if you’re a mad head, or someone trainingto defeat their nemesis in an 80s movie), so why do you do this to your Abs?? It’s true that Abs are made in the kitchen – and that’s a post for another day! But if we’re talking training, and you want those slabs to pop out so you can take your top off at Ushuaia in Ibiza, then treat them properly! They’re not so different…. Progressive Overload: “Strength Training that involves gradually increasing the intensity or difficulty of workouts over time” It’s crazy simple. It doesn’t need to be on a decline bench. This can be utilised in many different core workouts. Just figure out how to make it harder, heavier, slower. And get it done! Here’s some notes to leave you with: •Form over Reps: Quality movements prevent injury and maximize gains. •Breath Work: Exhale during the contraction phase (crunching up) and inhale during the extension phase (lowering down). •Control: Slow and controlled movements are more effective than fast, sloppy reps. •Engage Core: Always keep your core engaged to support your spine and maintain proper form. 📸 @dancollinsphoto #core #abworkout #progressiveoverload
Happy #WorkoutWednesday 💪🏽💪🏽 What’s the point in a PT if they don’t take you eveeeer so close to ‘the light’ 😂😂 It’s what we need, right!? Tag a training partner who is constantly trying to push you to the edge! (In the nicest way, obviously…) #gymworks #training #gym
Wouldn’t be a #motivationmonday if your coach didn’t ask you to do that ONE THING they know you hate….😂😂 But sometimes we gotta practice what we preach! 🙃 What’s your LEAST FAVOURITE exercise you love to hate?? Let us know! #gymworks #love2hate
Okay, this time your friendly Neighbourhood Insta Guinea Pig is trying out a….. *reads description again* a Dragon Squat??

Keep sending stuff in, and I’ll keep giving it a go! PEACE! Have a good weekend! #funfriday #workout #guineapig
Have ever had a Trainer or a Class Instructor have the GALL to ask you to actually exercise during your session!? I know this Curve Treadmill has had people running for the hills, literally. But not me, I’d never have you do anything even SLIGHTLY difficult or unpleasant….😇 What exercise gets an automatic NO GOD PLEASE NO from you? #gym #workoutwednesday #gymworks
We’ve all been there, haven’t we…? …Right, guys? You’re coming up to your final rep, you’re putting everything into it, you’re a beast, you’re a DAWG, you’re a God.

Don’t hide it…embrace it… #workoutwednesday #squealer #GymHumor

Hey Guys! Hope you’re having a decent friday! Struggling, thinking what to do for your workout? Planning on just winging it?
