Go Deeper Guys! (That's what she said, Michael Scott)

First one back on Tuesday and a dreaded baptism of fire with quads and calves 🤢 basically took the quads through their full contractile range with the bias of the 3 movements I programmed. I want to focus on the hack squat though

Most common fault I think we see is people short changing the depth on these. Given hack squats really challenge and bias the lengthened range of the quads and allows us to load them appreciably we want to make sure we create significant tension down there!

Doing half bro reps on these just doesn't cut it, everyone's active range however is different and our bodies are unique so it might be necessary to find another movement to challenge this range significantly

"Pasta is bad for weight loss"
"I can't eat pasta and lose weight"
"I was bad today I had pasta for my dinner"
Or
"I've heard you don't need to count pasta!"....😳
.......erm.....No....it isn't bad for weight loss, you can eat pasta and lose weight, you weren't "bad" at all and dear god no, pasta isn't "free" or zero anything!!!

The reason people struggle with pasta on a fat loss diet, is due to the fact it's a high dense carb, sadly you won't get as much as this as you would sweet potato for example.

I won't go into all the nutrition benefits and facts on pasta but if you're weight loss is your goal, you must weigh out and count this!

There is nothing wrong with pasta! If you want it, weigh it, count it, enjoy it!

This picture of COOKED pasta in my hand is 30g carbs to put this into perspective a warbutons thin bagel is 25g carbs......I'd rather the bagel lol

If you're wanting pasta, remember to pad it out with veg and protein (chicken, tuna etc)
