Atmosphere in Gyms

The gym is many things to many people. At the moment people are in Broadway Gym prepping for the next round of competitions and the atmosphere is electric. These people are all being supported by each other and their trainers.

Many of the other members have said that, rather than being intimidated, they find it really inspiring; the athletes are over the moon about the level of support they feel they are getting, not just from the staff and trainers, but from the other members.

Atmosphere in gyms is not new dressing rooms with monsoon showers, I suppose that’s nice if you don’t have a bathroom at home.

Look at Rocky 4- if you know the film, (and we do know it’s not a true story). In the film he was training in a really plush gym, it didn’t help him- he got beaten. Art can often imitate life.

Caffeine has been demonised over the last few years and wrongfully so. It’s classed as a psychoactive drug and blocks the effects of adenosine which sends signals to your brain that you’re tired. This is why it makes you more alert. That mental clarity and focus is important when you train to enable you to

This could sound contradictory, but the two are not mutually exclusive. Yoga has so many benefits for the average bodybuilder, it’s unbelievable. Firstly stretching the fascia promotes muscle growth. Stretching the muscle fibres help contraction. Increased mobility allow you to work the muscles through a greater range of motion. Realigning the body is essential for

There’s a lot written, and rightly so, about the science of bodybuilding. Anyone who thinks they can just go into a gym and swing the heaviest weight around they can find and look like Arnold Schwarzenegger is kidding themselves. Understanding muscle contraction, the endocrine system and a thorough knowledge of anatomy and physiology are the
