Body Comp Goals

Shout out to our client Mike for putting in some hard ass work on his body comp transformation last year. Lost 8.4lbs, dropped 6.7% body fat and increased lean mass by 7.8lbs in 18 weeks. This is a healthy and sustainable rate of body comp improvement. Looking forward to more gains in 2017! #dedication #continuingtoimprove #goals #resultsdriven

Change your grip often for maximum strength benefits.

Jake will keep your form in check! Greg is demonstrating perfect form with a strong supinated grip seated row. Great upper back exercise. Varying grip is important with this exercise so keep it fresh and change your grip often. #resultsdriven #trainsmart #maggriprows
