BALANCE

Life is about balance

Go out for dinner with friends 🍽️

Have a drink 🥃

Eat that pastry 🥐

If you live too restrictively you’ll miss out on life.
Unless you’re weeks a way from a competition, there is no reason you shouldn’t be able to enjoy things in moderation!

Moderation is the key word here. We tend to take that overboard.

If your coach doesn’t allow you to enjoy things here and there. Find a new coach!

Feeling lost with your workouts ?

You NEED a plan! Without a program, progressions, adaptations we can often feel lost.
You need someone in your corner who can guide you through the process.

Even great coaches have a coach. This is what I’ve done as well. Working with a coach takes stress off your day and away from your training.

Keeps you accountable and allows you to simply execute the plan.

If you’re struggling to see the results you want, feel like your spinning you wheels, then consider hiring a coach!

Not doing them correctly or not doing them at all

Deadlifts are a primary hinging movement

Lifting objects off the ground is something we do everyday to some capacity.

- Picking up your kids
- Moving furniture
- Grabbing heavy groceries

These are all great examples of daily deadlift practices. Granted the loads are very different but the pattern is the same.

Deadlifting is not bad for your back. Doing it incorrectly or lacking proper technique is. Injuries with the deadlift often occur because the individual was not utilizing proper form or exceeded a capacity they were unable to handle!

What are your thoughts on the deadlift ?

INTENT!

Your output is only as good as your intentions

This applies to many things in life. In the context of weightlifting and exercise, it’s important to know the intent of your movement.

What are you trying to achieve ?
What muscles are working ?
Why you chose this exercise ?

You don’t have to be an expert in this but you should have a proper understanding of the moving parts.

And if you don’t, then you should not be afraid to speak to someone who does or work with a coach to tell help you better understand.

But it can be a warning sign that change is necessary ‼️⁣
⁣
Pain is not an accurate measure of tissue health, pain is a protector! ⁣
⁣
Pain is an output of the brain: a warning system telling us to slow down and assess the situation and maybe change up our behaviors a bit to mitigate the pain.⁣
⁣
When our pain system becomes over protective, it stops us doing the movements, activities and other things and that are actually necessary for recovery ⁣
⁣
Fear of pain can be worse than the pain itself ⁣
Sadly the medical system has often taught us that we are fragile, which is simply not the case.⁣

Discipline > Motivation

Whether it’s training, rehab or diet, motivation will come and go. You will have good days and bad.

It’s not about want. It’s about the discipline to do what needs to be done regardless of desire.

Unmotivated? Not sure where to start ?

Schedule a consult with me and let’s work together to reach your goals!

Knee pain ? Try this!

This has helped many of my patients!

This may not be for everyone but for most individuals dealing with knee pain this is a great way to train around the knee pain and continue to progress.

I want to hear your thoughts. What do you think of this ?

Shoulder Health

Give these a try before your next upper body day. Great movements for mobility in the upper back and shoulders prior to exercise!

1. Roller push + lat drive
2. Overhead Angel
3. Roller child’s pose
4. Shoulder flexion rocker

This combination is a sure way to get your shoulders warmed up

Not sure where to start. Book a consultation and let’s work together!

These are great combinations to actively work the :

- Foot and ankle
- Hips

Quick test!

Check your shoulder mobility with this test.

Great way to self asses your internal and external shoulder rotation

Behind the head = External
Behind the low back = Internal

How well can you do this ?
