Building explosive strength with Rex isn’t about age, it’s about approach.

Too often, people assume power and explosiveness are only for the young. In reality, the ability to produce force quickly can be developed at almost any stage of life, when training is tailored correctly. With the right guidance, older adults can safely improve coordination, muscle recruitment, and reaction speed through controlled, progressive exercises.

A skilled personal trainer knows how to scale movements, prioritise technique, and build a foundation that supports more dynamic training over time. The result isn’t just improved performance, it’s better balance, stronger muscles, and greater confidence in everyday movement.

Explosive strength isn’t off-limits. It just needs to be trained intelligently.

Unleash Your Inner Zombie: Squat Like No One’s Watchin💪

Every now and then, I channel my inner zombie with a zombie squat. Why? Because this squat variation is a fantastic way to expose any bad form lurking in your technique—like a horror movie plot twist that catches you off guard.

The beauty of zombie squats lies in their ability to improve squat form while significantly increasing the demand on your quads, core, and upper back. You’ll need to keep your torso perfectly upright without using your hands for stabilization. It’s like a full-body workout with a side of “watch out for that bar!”

Next time you hit the gym, grab a light barbell and see if you can crank out 10-15 reps without letting it slip away. Remember, strict posture is essential—otherwise, you might just end up looking like a zombie yourself. 😂

Common Mistakes with the One-Arm Dumbbell Row

When performing the one-arm dumbbell row, two common mistakes can hinder your progress and increase the risk of injury:

* Rounding the Back: This can lead to strain and discomfort.

* Using Too Much Weight: Lifting weights that are too heavy can compromise your form.

How to Fix These Issues:

* Maintain Proper Posture: Keep your back flat or slightly arched throughout the movement. This will help prevent injury and ensure effective muscle engagement.

* Choose the Right Weight: Select a weight that challenges you but allows you to maintain good form. It’s important to be able to execute the exercise correctly from start to finish.

For this particular client, a simple solution was to record a video of him while I demonstrated the proper form. We both reviewed the footage, which helped us identify and correct the mistakes together.

Super proud of these ninja warriors💪

I still remember the moment I asked them to register for HYROX—their looks could have taken down a bear.lol
Sometimes in life, you have to throw yourself into the deep end (preferably with a floatie) to truly grow.

Watching them smash through the team relay event was nothing short of epic. They faced the challenge head on, proving that discomfort is just a fancy word for growth.

Well done, team! Let’s keep pushing those limits and maybe keep the bear slaying looks to a minimum next time. 😂

Understanding Push-Up Form:
The Importance of Core Stability

In today’s video, we’re addressing a common issue seen during push-ups: a sagging back and low hips. This faulty form often stems from muscle imbalances, particularly a weak core. When the core isn’t strong enough to stabilize the body, it can lead to improper alignment, making the exercise less effective and increasing the risk of injury.

Why Does This Happen?
Weak Core Muscles: A strong core is essential for maintaining a straight line from head to heels during push-ups. Weakness in this area can cause the back to dip and the hips to sag.

- Muscle Imbalances: Overdeveloped chest or shoulder muscles in relation to the core can contribute to poor form, as these muscles may dominate the movement.

This is where the trained eye of a personal trainer becomes invaluable! By identifying these issues early, I can provide personalized guidance and corrections to help clients achieve proper form and maximize their workout benefits.

Stay tuned for tips on how to strengthen your core for better push-up performance! 💪
