One of the most effective ways to build strength in the glutes is through barbell hip thrusts. However, this exercise can also be fraught with errors.

Common mistakes include wrong feet placement, overarching the back, and not maintaining tension in the glutes throughout the movement.

These errors can lead to injuries and decrease the overall effectiveness of the exercise. To avoid these mistakes, it is important to use good form and focus on contracting the glutes throughout the entire range of motion.

There's research that suggests they're better at building your glutes than squats or deadlifts—more on this later.

Compared with heavy weights and complex movements, HTs also require less core stability so it becomes easier to move as a whole unit through space without thinking too much about what you're doing; plus there is no need for spinal extension strength since the general movement pattern will be simpler.

By following these tips, you can maximize the benefits of barbell hip thrusts and improve your glute workout.

😱Too often we see developed physiques that lack the development of the rear delts.

🏋‍♂️ Doing a shoulder press, upright row, and lateral raise are all good choices, given your shoulders are stable enough to handle it.

⚠️The problem is, the rear delts only get half the stimulation for these lifts since the mid and front deltoids tend to take over such lifts. The bent over rear delt raise exercise is a great option but in order to do them properly there are a few important details we must consider.

🎖If you're looking to get those boulder shoulders, SNU fitness director, Christian, goes over 3 very important tweaks to make when performing the bent over rear delt exercise. Make sure you watch until the end for a BONUS tip 😉

❗️Are you struggling with weight loss?

Loosing weight can be a real challenge.

It requires solid understanding of the basics, a strategic action plan, consistency, and self-discipline.

To start loosing weight you want to have your body in calorie deficit.

Meaning: you expend more energy than you get from the food you consume.

To accomplish this, you need to:

1️⃣ Decrease your calorie intake (eat the right food in right quantities) and

2️⃣ Increase your calorie spenditure (move more).

3️⃣ Implement the 3 simple habits from SNU trainer, Roman, to your EVERY DAY life

and watch that long-awaited chizeled body reveal itself in no time!

2 Effective Ways To Relieve Knee Pain

If you experience sudden knee pain, it can be hard to know what to do next.

In this video, SNU-Therapy Chiropractor, Dr. Alyssa, demonstrates 2 effective ways to treat knee pain.

1️⃣ Bosu Reverse Lunges
*use a pillow if you don't have a Bosu

2️⃣ Electroacupuncture

Our knee is a complex joint that has many moving parts. This makes it more prone to injury.

Most often, knee pain is a symptom rather than the cause of a problem, unless there’s disease or trauma, like a torn ACL or meniscus. Knee pain may be symptomatic of a foot, ankle or hip moving poorly, weak muscles, tightness or repetitive stress.

We need to address common muscle imbalances by enhancing lower body function, intimately ‘strengthening’ the knee.

If you’re dealing with symptoms of pain that won’t subside or a joint that locks up, don’t ignore them. If you’re experiencing severe knee pain, talk to your doctor immediately to find out what’s causing it.

🌟Low Back Pain is a common injury that many people experience at least once in their life. In this video we are releasing a muscle that is often a contributor to low back pain, quadratus lumborum or QL for short.

🔥The quadratus lumborum has many functions and attaches to many parts of the body. It has a tendency to tighten up and cause low back pain or not be strong enough to support the low back.

Avoid these 3 common mistakes when doing Lying Hamstring Curls to keep this exercise safe and effective! 👊💪

05/04/2022

Two of the most common problems occur in the narrow space between the bones of the shoulder. Irritation in this area may lead to a pinching condition called impingement syndrome, or damage to the tendons known as a rotator cuff tear. These two problems can exist separately or together⁣.

𝗪𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐒𝐘𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐄?⁣

Shoulder impingement syndrome occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff and the subacromial bursa are pinched in the narrow space beneath the acromion. This causes the tendons and bursa to become inflamed and swollen.

Impingement Is Classified In Three Grades:⁣

Grade 1️⃣: Is marked by inflammation of the bursa and tendons

Grade 2️⃣: Has progressive thickening and scarring of the bursa⁣

Grade 3️⃣: Occurs when rotator cuff degeneration and tears are evident⁣



𝗪𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐀 𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑 𝐂𝐔𝐅𝐅 𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐑?⁣

Rotator cuff tears can be the result of a traumatic injury or deterioration over time. Symptoms may be present, but in many cases, the patient experiences no symptoms at all. In young active people, full thickness rotator cuff tears are fairly uncommon. Several scientific studies have shown that up to 2/3 of the population at age 70 have rotator cuff tears; many of these people had no symptoms.


𝐇𝐀𝗪𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐒 𝐊𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐃𝐘 𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓⁣

The patient is examined with their arm at 90° and elbow flexed to 90°, supported by the examiner to ensure maximal relaxation. The examiner then stabilizes proximal to the elbow with their outside hand and with the other holds just proximal to the patient's wrist. They then quickly move the arm into internal rotation.⁣

𝐃𝐑𝐎𝐏 𝐀𝐑𝐌 𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓⁣

Slow lowering of the arm from full abduction leads to weakness and the dropping of the arm when below 90 degrees. Sometimes a slight tap is necessary. It suggests a complete tear of the rotator cuff.⁣

💥If you’ve tested positive for any of these 2 tests, please see an experienced licensed practitioner for further evaluation and guidance for proper recovery. ⁣

Your therapist can teach you exercises to help strengthen the muscles of your shoulder while improving your strength and range of motion. Although nonsurgical treatment may take several weeks to months, many patients experience a gradual improvement and return to function.⁣

Why's he so Thera-pissed tho? 😳🤣

Pushing through an injury can put more stress in the wrong areas of your body that can lead to further injuries and pain. Pain is your body’s way of indicating something’s wrong. If we brush it off, it can lead to a potentially more serious or chronic injury.

Would you rather spend four weeks recovering from a sore elbow, or spend months – even years – suffering from chronic shoulder pain? Listen to your therapist and embrace the rehab process so you can get back to training pain free.

Learning how to brace your midsection will allow you to perform daily tasks and movements safely and more efficiently. Additionally, if you’re not bracing properly, you aren’t getting effective force transfer through your lifts and you’re not creating the stability required to be able to lift heavier loads safely.

Bracing is not just about flexing your abs. Bracing your core requires you to engage your entire trunk – abdominals, pelvic floor, diaphragm, and spinal erectors – to create the stability required to lift safely.

Step 1️⃣: Deep breath in

Take a breath in using your diaphragm, preferably breathing through the nose, expanding your rib cage.

Step 2️⃣: Brace the abdominal muscles

Create rigidity by contracting all your core muscles. Think about tightening your midsection as if you were just about to be punched in the stomach.

Practicing abdominal bracing while exercising or performing daily tasks such as heavy lifting can help reduce the strain on your neck and lower back. We want to be able to lift for many years to come and learning how to do so safely is going to be key to longevity.

Can we stop demonizing carbohydrates already? 🙋🏽‍♂️

Carbs are not the enemy! It may not seem like it—especially with the rise of popular low-carb diets, like keto—but eating carbs is an important macronutrient in one's overall diet and can help you lose weight.

The pictures I show are from 2 separate times I underwent a cutting program. The top one was from a contest prep (mainly weight training) and the bottom picture was from a Muay Thai fight prep (mainly cardio/conditioning).

Walking weight: 185 lbs

top picture: 175 lbs, weights 5x week, 25 min cardio 1-2 x week
-12 week transformation


bottom picture: 155lbs, 50 km runs/week, Muay Thai 6 days/week
­-16 week Transformation


I wanted to outline that no matter what type of training you choose to do, carbohydrates can always be an essential part of it and will aid in your weight-loss goals. I personally don’t drop my carbs because I love them.🥰

The key is to focus on complex carbohydrates that will make you feel full, instead of simple, refined carbs that will leave you feeling hungrier and hungrier.

Carbohydrates are one of the three main building blocks, also known as macronutrients, that make up all food. Protein and fat are the other two. These macronutrients are essential for the body to function.

Remember, along with protein and fat, almost all foods that people call “carbohydrates” actually contain a combination of all three types of carbs: Sugars, Starch, and Dietary Fiber.

A 2017 research review article by Hall and Guo looked at 32 different controlled feeding studies. The results were very clear:

When calories and protein are controlled, there’s no energy expenditure or weight loss benefit from eating a low carb diet over a high carb diet. Weight manipulation comes down to calorie control, not insulin control.

Carbs don’t cause weight gain unless they contribute to excessive calorie intake. Carb quality is of greater importance.

In order for YOU to be successful in YOUR OWN fitness journey, find a training and nutrition program you can adhere to long term.

Do you trip over things quite often, or even roll your ankle frequently?

You may have poor ankle proprioception. Proprioception (Kinesthesia) is your body’s ability to be aware of the space around it. For example, knowing the difference between walking on cement vs. grass. Another instance of proprioception is being able to dribble a basketball without having to look at your hand while bouncing it. The main structure involved with these processes is your Primary Sensory Neurons in the dorsal root ganglia which send messages about body position and movement to your Central Nervous System.

If you experience a recurring acute injury (Ankle Sprain), degenerative diseases (Parkinson’s) or joint damage (Arthritis), our ankle proprioception (or ankle body awareness) will most likely be reduced. As mentioned above, proprioception is very important to everyone as this makes the difference between navigating the world seamlessly and seriously injuring yourself from a fall (for example).

How do we manage ankle proprioception? Since proprioception involves such an intricate set of operations that involve millisecond synapses, it is important to keep stimulating this neuronal activity in order to restore or maintain proprioception. Think of when you first learned to swim, or walk. These repeated movements became second nature. Do you look down to see if your feet are moving correctly while walking? To restore proprioception works the same way.

Check out this clip where SNU Trainer Brian demonstrates one effective exercise in order to improve ankle proprioception!

Are you having trouble performing a proper push-up?

Push-ups are tough! They’re an exercise that requires skill, meaning they require upper body strength, trunk stability, range of motion, and even mobility… all at once. Just being strong or fit isn’t enough — it takes time and practice to master the technique.

Follow these 4 steps as demonstrated by SNU Trainer, Mar, so you can progress your way to finally doing full push-ups!

💥Do You Get Aches & Pains From Using A Laptop? Here's A Simpel Fix For Under $50

Laptops have radically changed the way we work, giving office workers the means to break free from traditional 9-5 workdays and carry out computer tasks from practically anywhere. This is great for remote and homeworking - but it does come with additional risks.

When you place your laptop on a surface, you'll find you're having to look down to see the screen. The weight of your head hanging forward places a huge amount of strain on the spine which, over time, this causes aches pains and even long term injuries.

To avoid this, you'll need to find a way to elevate it to a more comfortable viewing height. Yes, you can use stacks of books or boxes, but it might take a bit of fiddling around to find the right height - plus you can't guarantee this solution will be stable and safe for your laptop.

An adjustable laptop stand, used with a separate mouse and keyboard, is the best way of creating a portable ergonomic workstation wherever you choose to work.

This simple solution will will cost no mare than $50 (more if you want a more fancier set-up).

1. Laptop Stand
2. Wireless Keyboard
3. Wireless Mouse

*items 2 & 3 can be found as a combo for more cost savings.

A very helpful article for anyone with low back pain to understand the causes and how it can be treated at home by incorporating some better habits.
Just did a trial class there this morning and it surpassed every expectation I had. I was shown around by Rob and Kevin was the instructor. I told him I had a lower back strain and he accomodated me. I had so much fun. Will definitely be going back.
Never let your mind get the better of you to the point where EGO & lack of discipline impact your results. Stay humble & focused on your purpose.
