This tweak helped me to grow my front deltoids more easily.

You can even try without a weight and feel how the front deltoid gets more involved when you shift your arm towards the midline of your body.

So give it a try and let me know in the comments 🤌🏼

“Why do my shins feel inflamed after a run?”

I’ve been getting this question a lot lately, so I figured I’d make a post about it.

The first thing I look at is whether you’re keeping your tibialis (the muscle on your shin) contracted throughout the entire running gait cycle. And so far, that’s been the issue for everyone.

If this sounds like you 🫵🏼, next time you run, focus on relaxing your tibialis. At first, your brain will default to old habits, but little by little, you’ll retrain it to move more efficiently.

I wanna hear your thoughts 💬

MONSTER LEG DAY

Starting the week with the worst.

That’s how we drop set the Bulgarians.

🦵5 reps with 40kg + 10 reps with 20kg
🦵4 with 60kg + 6/8 with 40kg + 8/10 with 20kg
🦵3 with 80kg + 4/5 with 60kg + 6/8 with 40kg + 8/10 with 20kg

Give it a shot when you’re training legs this week 👊

@roamfoods bar always hits the spot 💪🏼

#legdayworkout #gymbuddy #gymshark66 #fitness #progress

A little movement, fresh air, and stunning scenery — perfect combo.

Recharging my batteries 🔋

This trip in the Moroccan desert was outstanding. Completely engulfed in silence.

#workoutinthenature #elasticbandworkout #holidaymorocco #agafay #gymshark66

Legs on 🔥 with this simple but brutal superset!

Start with Smith machine squats (1 rep = half up, down, then full up), then straight into walking lunges.

No rest between exercises—push through the burn!

Who’s trying this next leg day? 👇🔥

The WORM

The best thing out there… just kidding 😅

Having that over your shoulders for 13 min ain’t fun ahahah but I loved it.

It was a 15min time cap

0 - 4 min - Max Worm STOH
4 - 5 min - Rest
5 - 9 min - Max Worm Squats
9 - 10 min - Rest
10 - 15 min - Max Worm Thrusters

And every 30 reps 3 athletes must complete a 16 meter synchro burpee broad jump, whilst the worm is held off the floor.

Muscles get really achy after that 😅 but I had the best team to overcome the pain 👊🏼

#turfgames #worm #team #gymshark66

First week back after Turf Games, and it feels great to hit a solid shoulders & arms pump session!

Getting back into these pumps to get stronger. Let’s go!

When training your shoulders make sure to train all parts of the muscle: anterior, posterior and lateral 💪🏼

#strengthtraining #shoulderandarmsday #gymshark66 #progress

Two years since my last #turfgames

1st Workout: BARBELL CLUB
1 Clean + 2 STOH + 3 Front Squats — Definitely not my favourite (hence the facial expression 😂).

Felt great to be back at it with an amazing team! A humbling competition and the perfect way to spot weaknesses and improve.

Had to get the @oranjaibiza hoodie in the shot 😉

#progress #weightlifting #gymshark66 #strength

The dumbbell press is definitely my favourite exercise for shoulders.

Split 👇🏼
Super-set #1
Shoulder press
Front Raises

Super-set #2
Inverted grip bb press
Lateral raises

Super-set #3
Rear delts
Hip huggers (forgot to video)

Superset #4
Triceps oh extensions
Bicep curls

Superset #5
Triceps rope pushdown
Rope hammer curls

As I needed to use more of my energy, I decided to end it with running session.

Felling great 👌🏼

I love you baby ♥️

Happy SV day to my beautiful wifey @charlotte_gracelindsay

Here a few moments together that I cherish in my 🤍

“Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts her; So he will have no lack of gain.” Proverbs‬ ‭31‬:‭10‬-‭11‬

“Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from the Lord.” Proverbs‬ ‭19‬:‭14‬

A simple leg day paired up with a message that I found very true and profound.

Maybe it resonates with you as well.

This week we’re taking easy, as @turfgames is this week end 🔥

#turfgames #legday #health #progress #gymshark66

Crushing shoulder and arm day with five supersets! 💪

Started off with dumbbell shoulder presses and front delt raises, followed by inverted grip shoulder presses paired with chest-supported lateral raises. Finished off the shoulders with barbell raises behind my back and high elbow rows.

Then hit the arms with barbell curls, overhead tricep extensions, and finished strong with inverted grip barbell curls and bent-over db kickbacks. 🏋️‍♂️

Keep it simple and keep challenging yourself to avoid plateaus 😉

#workoutmotivation #fitnessjourney #progress #arms #gymshark66

This hip mobility drill flows straight into a single-leg Romanian deadlift, making it a great warm-up before running or leg day.

It helps improve hip flexion, stability, and hamstring control—all essential for strong, efficient movement. Plus, the added reach to the foot challenges balance and coordination. Try this before your next lower body session!

Chest + Back this morning before hitting a #hyrox sesh in the afternoon.

Don’t mind my facial expressions.

Discovered these EGYM machines recently and I must say that they are great for training negatives, explosive power and overall strength.

Let’s keep going 💪🏼#progress

#chestandback #strengthtraining #workout #gymshark66

Woke up this morning with legs so sore from yesterday’s session—the last thing I wanted to do was go for a run 🤣

But there’s no stopping us. We push through, we keep going, and we get better every day. 💪🏼 #progress

#runningmotivation #workoutevenwhenyoudontfeellikeit #gymshark66 #motivation

Because one crazy workout wasn’t enough… 😅

After surviving assault bikes, ski ergs, devil presses, GOTH, thrusters, etc. we thought, ‘Let’s destroy our legs even more!’ 🦵💀

Safe to say stairs are cancelled for the week. 🏋️‍♀️🔥

Gotta get stronger with my squats weight, but we are definitely progressing 📈

P.S. I definitely underestimated these @egym_global machines. They are AMAZING.

Building up the speed 💥

3 x 8-minute runs at a hard pace with 2:30 rest between sets.

Focused on getting faster and more efficient over time.

Do you struggle with forward head posture? I used to as well.

Spending years in an office job, hunched over a desk, left me with poor posture and constant tension in my neck and shoulders. But once I started targeting the right muscles, everything changed.

Here are two exercises that helped me dramatically improve my posture:
1️⃣ Cable Face Pulls – Strengthen those upper back and rear delts to pull your shoulders back.
2️⃣ T-Raises – Activate and strengthen the mid-back to improve stability and posture.

Incorporate these into your routine and take the first step to standing taller and feeling stronger!

Feel the burn! 🔥

🐸 push-ups are the ultimate chest crusher—igniting your pecs while working your core, shoulders, and triceps. A few reps of these and your upper body will be on fire!

I did few sets of them at the end of my chest session. The burn was crazy 💪🏼

#frogpushups #chestonfire #beastmode #strengthtraining #chestpump #gymshark66

Slow and controlled wins the game! 💪 Here’s why proper tempo matters:

When you bounce the weight or rush through reps, your Golgi tendon organ steps in to make it easier by reducing tension. This allows momentum to take over, but it robs your muscles of the hard work they need to grow stronger.

❌ Bouncing = less muscle activation.
✔️ Stopping at the bottom and pushing with control = maximum tension, increased strength, and muscle growth.

Take your time, focus on form, and let your muscles do the work. No shortcuts here! 💯

Build Your Upper Back with T-Raises 💪🏼

Looking for a simple yet effective way to target your upper back and improve your posture? Try T-Raises!

This underrated exercise isolates the rear delts, traps, and rhomboids, helping to strengthen and stabilize your shoulder girdle. Whether you’re a lifter, athlete, or desk worker, T-Raises are a must for balancing out those forward-leaning postural habits.

🟢 How to Perform T-Raises:
1️⃣ Start by lying face down on an incline bench or standing in a hip hinge position.
2️⃣ With light dumbbells or bodyweight, extend your arms straight out to the sides to form a “T” shape.
3️⃣ Keep your thumbs pointing up, squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top, and lower slowly.
4️⃣ Perform 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps with controlled form.

🔥 Why T-Raises Rock:
• Builds strength in your upper back and rear shoulders.
• Enhances posture and combats rounded shoulders.
• Reduces the risk of shoulder injuries by improving stability.

💡 Pro Tip: Start light to focus on form—this exercise is about control, not heavy weights.

Level up your back day or add it to your mobility routine to unlock a stronger, healthier upper body! 🌟

Credits to @danieljunior88 for this mad workout 😅 thank you bro

I kept an average of 17 km/h and increased to 18 on the last set.

Man, that was tough but definitely worth it. 6am start time didn’t help either ahaha but it’s all mental 🧠

Btw, also a great workout to do if you’re preparing for your #hyrox competition 💪🏼

You know what’s happening now. Go and #justdoit 🫵🏼

Leg Day #1 of the week

Keeping it simple but focusing a lot on my form. Glutes, Hamstrings and Calves are definitely my main focus on the lower body at the moment.

Very important muscles to train to improve your running gait. Especially, if you are more quad dominant like I was.
