Tired ...
.
Somehow these tires seemed to frame the Hong Kong skyline and Victoria Harbour well from the gym window today ...
.
Didn’t see anyone using them - but they make a good frame!

Carrying your weight ...
.
✅A good aim for intermediate lifters is to be able to bench press your own bodyweight.✅
.
Here head trainer Alex Frew McMillan tackles 75 kg (165 lbs).
.
☝With regular strength sessions, this should be achievable.☝
.
⚖️Your weight should also find a comfortable level.⚖️
.
1️⃣6️⃣2️⃣Alex hovers around 162 lbs - decent for a 175 cm man.1️⃣6️⃣2️⃣
.
Getting too light may present its own health risks, potentially impairing the immune system.
.
Find your weight, and stick with it!
.
Then learn to lift it ...

✈️ On the plane ... ✈️
.
♀️Multi-planar lunges work your lower body and particularly your legs and glutes in a way that prepares them for sport.♂️
.
♂️ Ricky Yun shows great form w a 17kg sandbag providing an added test. ♀️
.
⚕️ Ricky is recovering from surgery on his ACL (anterior crucial ligament) late last year. ⚕️
.
You can see the scar on his right knee as a result of the tear, which happened on a bad landing in basketball.
.
⏳With lunges, squats and other tests, we have built back leg strength after his months off the court and out of commission.⏳
.
✅ These three-directional lunges put the knee through some rotation while under weight. ✅
.
⛹♂️The knee is now looking good. And Ricky is once again playing basketball.⛹♀️
.
Well done Ricky on the hard rehab work.

Happy International Women’s Day!
Get your resistance training any which way you can - many forms of “daily life” can be a workout without ever having to step foot in a gym. ♀️ Women are extremely unlikely to become muscle-bound due to resistance training, even with relatively heavy weights. ♀️ Women have lower blood levels of androgen hormones (testosterone being the best-known), which combined act in a coordinated way to build skeletal muscle cells, and ultimately muscle tissue. This makes it all the more important for women to do weight-bearing exercise, which also improves bone strength, to avoid “little old lady” syndrome. At Mid Age Man, we aim to ensure female clients are fit and strong! Well done @jessieywl ♀️and @blue_skies11 for putting in the effort! #personaltrainer #internationalwomensday #women #womensday #womensfitness #womenshealth #strengthtraining #resistancetraining #weights #workout #exercise #fitness #gym #weightloss #weightgain #midageman #hongkong #fitfam #fitfemme #fitfamily #strongwomen
♂️ It’s a stretch ... ♀️
.
♀️ ... and a lunge. Oh and a single-leg squat! ♂️
.
♂️ A new exercise today with the TRX single-leg squat to crossing reach. ♀️
.
♀️ This tests your balance, as well as strengthening the legs of course but also the core and arms. The reach even stretches your hip flexors. ♂️
.
These compound movements will reenforce coordination and lead to more-efficient, better developed muscles built for functional, everyday-life activity.
.
Well done Ankit Jain on picking up the movements in next to no time!

♀️ Raising the bar ... ♂️
.
First time completing 2 sets of 10 reps on 30 kg for Alan Chung.
.
❗️To boost your metabolism through strength training, you need to keep challenging your body with new tests.❗️
.
So the “contest” is not “Can I lift more than you?” It’s “Can I lift more than me?”
.
Alan has lost 20+lbs through “cardio weights” and smart eating.
.
☝ He has also got stronger and transferred fat to muscle, which is heavier - so the fat lost is much more than 20 lbs. ☝
.
Keep it going Alan! We’re setting the bar at 40 kg next time!
