Band Resisted Hamstring Kicks 👉 Targeting the development of speed and fast twitch muscle fibres at hip extension and knee flexion 👉 Development of elastic strength involving rapid contraction and relaxation of the thigh muscles 👉 Perfect for this time of the season and for those coming back from hamstring injuries #hamstrings #hamstringworkout
Lat pull down and low row cable attachment 🔥 ✅ adds variety to your workouts ✅ can be used for beginners as well as experienced trainers ✅ allows you to target and isolate specific muscle groups ✅ suitable for home gyms
Olympic Lifting 🏋️♂️ ✅ Helps develop multiple forms of strength including maximal/absolute strength, power and elastic strength ✅ There's a huge amount of skill transfer into sports. Olympic lifting helps challenge hip, knee and ankle firing patterns as well as upper & lower body firing sequencing ✅ The proprioceptive fatigue experienced after heavy static lifts are practically nonexistent with Olympic lifts. So they're easy to recover from ✅ Can take time and patience to properly execute the movements but when mastered they bring about a sense of achievement Equipment needed ➡️ Barbell & plates
Barbell back squat 🏋️♂️ Why? ✅ to help develop higher levels of maximal strength ✅ maximal strength is a key contributor to power output ✅ muscular power is an essential performance quality for all athletes ✅ higher levels of strength helps increase physical resilience and reduces the chance of injury
Our SR-1000 squat rack coming in handy for some double leg nordic curls. Here we've taken one of the pin pipe safety arms and slid it through the holes towards the bottom of the rack. This is used as the anchor in which you press the bottom part of your legs against to perform the exercise. If you want to keep those hamstrings strong and injury free while improving sprint and jumping performance, give these a go 💪
Performing some long duration run specific isometric holds by @alexnatera on our SR-1000 squat rack. The ability to be able to perform different types of strength training methods and exercises using the same piece of equipment is definitely a plus. This helps to avoid the law of accommodation. Using the same load or volume, intensity or exercises over a period of time can hold you back from achieving greater results. With the SR-1000 squat rack series and our HR-2.0 the options are endless. With this quality equipment at your disposal your results are too 💪
Making use of our dip station attachment for last weeks workout 💪 This exercise is brilliant for building strength and size in the tricep, chest and shoulder muscles. Dips are also a great alternative exercise if you've been doing loads of tricep extensions with dumbbells/barbells or even tricep dips off a bench. For ultimate strength gains why not add some weight using a weight belt, kettlebells or plates. We'd recommend adding a little bit more weight than whats shown in the video.. this was just a warm up set 👀
Abs using the SR-1000 cable attachment The lat pull down and low row attachment can be used to develop many parts of the body. In these videos we are using it to help train the abs. Training this part of the body is important as it helps to support the spine, act as stabilisers, and help transfer forces through the body and to the limbs. Standing cable sit ups and cable side bends are the exercises being demonstrated here. These help strengthen the stomach muscles including the rectus abdominus and obliques, which are involved in all twisting and forward throwing motions. Let us know what's your go to ab exercise 💪

"You're only limited by your imagination"
Demonstrating back extensions using a couple of attachments on our SR-1000 squat rack. Two pin pipe safety's to help lock the feet in place and a leg roller pinned in at the point of the crease of the hips was all that was needed for this exercise.
We have loads of other attachments available for the SR-1000 squat rack series. Let's see what you can come up with 💪
Take a look at the new run specific isometric racks installed in The Gym at Maghera 🔥 The SR-1000 squat rack series showing its incredible versatility once again! Two uprights, a pair of front foot extensions, a pull up bar and a single safety pin was all that was needed to create this piece of kit. Save your coaches and clients time and hassle with our isometric squat racks. No more loading/unloading barbells and guessing pin heights. Drop us a message if you perform run specific isometric strength training in your gym and need the tools to do so 💪 Oliver Cummings
Power development 💪
Developing upper body power output.
Maximal strength development has already been achieved during most part of the pre season training programme. This is a crucial stepping stone for anyone who wants to maximise their potential to develop power. If you have more potential to produce force maximally, then you have a greater chance of producing force rapidly.
The exercise demonstrated here is one of many ways of how you could potentially transfer maximal strength gains to a high rate of force development. A lighter load has been placed on the bar in combination with the use of band resistance. This helps to elicit a faster movement in the eccentric phase which in turn should help with a more dynamic, powerful concentric contraction.
Using the cable attachment on our SR-1000 squat rack for some hip work. Hip flexion, extension, adduction and abduction are seen being performed in the video. These movements are performed in everyday tasks such as getting out of bed, getting in and out of the car and walking. In sporting terms these movements are performed when running, jumping and side stepping to name a few. The muscles that help perform these movements can often be overlooked in exercise programmes which can increase the risk of injury. When performed and programmed properly into your workouts, these movements can help build a robust set of hips, will reduce the risk of injury, and will help to contribute to better movement ability 💪
Paul seen here performing tricep pull downs using the rope attachment on the SR-1000 cable attachment. Tricep pull downs is another exercise that is used to help strengthen the tricep muscles. This isn't just an exercise that helps tighten the sleeves of our shirts... but it's also a go to exercise for those wanting to overcome plateaus in their bench press and overhead pressing ability. Varying this exercise with other tricep exercises throughout your workouts can help prevent staleness and will increase the likelihood of progression 💪
