This rare 1954 footage from a women’s gym shows early strength training in action—using vintage equipment and form that reflected the era’s norms. Back then, women’s fitness mostly focused on calisthenics, as weightlifting was still seen as unfeminine. Misconceptions and limited access slowed progress, but the 1950s marked a turning point. Strength training gradually gained ground as the health and athletic benefits for women became more accepted and understood. Via: British Pathe archives | His

Single arm tricep pushdown. @gymshark 🦈 Code LEOB10 My favorite exercise for triceps. Cuffs give you a much better feel and full focus on the muscle — very simple to execute when done right. Keep your elbow fixed and move in a fluid motion. 3 sets of 6-8 reps. I always pair this with an overhead variant for complete tricep development.
