Gym Hacks for Cricketers

1) Come in with a plan: When I first started going to the gym I would just completely wing it. Do some squats, mmmm maybe some bench … and some more bench, okay bicep curls then onto some lunges maybe … it was so random. The worst part was I was wasting like 5 minutes between each exercise thinking of what to do next. I don’t care if its a mental thing, something in the notes in your phone or one of my programs, just have an idea of what you want to do before you go in. You will save so much time & actually train with some intensity

2) Start setting up your next exercise in your rest periods: This is a game changer. Rather than scrolling on tik tok or instagram, go & begin adding some weight or setting up your bar for your next exercise in one of your rest periods. Allows you to just flow into the next exercise so easy

3) Use straps or chalk: If we want to train our legs in RDLs or our back with rows, don’t let your grip strength be your limiting factor .

4) Put your phone on do not disturb of aeroplane mode: How many times have you wasted time on your phone, it distracts you and takes all of the intensity out of your gym session. Don’t let that happen anymore

5) Pull weights off don’t push them off: When taking plates off a barbell don’t stand on the inside & try push the weights off. Stand at the end of the bar, slightly lift the bar and pull all the weights off. Will save you so much energy
