A bit of athlete appreciation for .h1711

There's a lot to be said about Joe. First and foremost, he is one of the kindest and most genuine people you'll meet, which makes me even happier to celebrate him.

Since starting S&C with him last October, Joe have put in more effort than anyone else, and due to his commitment, consistency, and sheer determination to improve, he has had a season which any athlete would class as memorable. He received his first callus to the England Boxe Lacrosse team, representing them in Prague. He had an undefeated club season, winning multiple leagues during the club's first season together. Then he topped it off by being voted 'Captain's Player' for the season too, showing that all of his effort and growth are not only being noticed by me, but by the players and teams he plays with too.

I look forward to continuing my work with Joe, and I cannot wait to see where his hardworking and dedication will take him in the future! Olympics 26?! 🤔😁

10 weeks ago Tom came to me looking for a PT, citing that he wanted to get fit again but that he had issues with back and hip pain. During his first session he managed to squat 70kg for 1 and said that his back couldn't take any more.

Fast forward 9 sessions and here he is squatting 110kg for 5 reps on his 4th working set, having had no hip or back issues for at least a month. Tom is a prime example of what you can achieve with a strong work ethic and unwavering commitment to your goals.

If you are suffering, whether it's age or injury related, never hesitate to ask for help! 😊

Time for a relaxing New Year's day walk with the cherub and the better half... cherub clearly found the new carrier comfortable as she was snoozing before we left the house 🤣🤣

Another great session in the books today with Anjuli. Considering when I first met here 8 weeks ago she could barely walk following her Meniscus surgery, here she is confidently cranking out squats on a Bosu ball at the end of a session that included Barbell Squats and Incline Leg Press. When I say this girl is a savage, I mean it! 😁

Don't suffer in silence with your aches and pain guys, even the strongest people need help. Don't be afraid to ask, you never know how good the outcome may be! 😊

Also, perks of having had a lot of knee troubles in my past, I know how to heal this sort of thing 😋

Overhead Squat

A great squat variation is you're finding yourself out of the groove. The overhead squat helps the individual to find their natural squatting posture and position, and to learn how to keep themselves upright as they go deeper into the squat, and for this reason it is often used as a beginner movement or a regression. With that being said, there is always merit in visiting the overhead squat, whether its as a warm up or to reaffirm your squatting positions and abilities.

Along with being great at resetting your squat, the overhead squat also helps improve your core, truck, shoulder, and hip flexor strength, stability, mobility, and flexibility, which in turn give you a stronger squatting posture.

When overhead squatting, the lighter weight you start with the better. Get used to the movement before progressing weight, and always ensure the weight stays over the midline of the body to ensure maximum benefit.

Bar Rolling

Is that it's proper name? Don't know, doesn't matter. What does matter is that it kicks ass for strengthening your forearms and your grip. By rolling the bar in your hands, one way and then the other, now only are your hands having to maintain their grip, but you're also working the flexors in both sides of your arms, helping to build and strengthen them.

So if like me you suffer with weak wrists and RSI, this is an exercise that takes a short amount of time and should definitely be in your workout plan either as a warm up or finisher! 😊
