If your PT sessions look anything like this…RUN.
 5 minutes on pulleys that should’ve been discontinued 4 weeks ago…

Generic sets and reps being counted by a kid still in undergrad while your PT rotates between a couple of other patients in the room…

Heat and electrical stimulation after every session…

These are often a waste of time and are delaying real progress and long term adaptations towards meaningful goals.

Here is the uncomfortable truth:

Most PTs have very little knowledge about strength and conditioning principles and how to apply them within a plan of care. This lack of confidence results in a hyper-conservative approach slowing your progress down to a halt.

If your PT experience doesn’t work towards making you the most durable and resilient version of yourself, it is a complete failure.

Strong, highly motivated people don’t need fragile rehab.
They need someone who is going to strategically and methodically push the boundaries to get them stronger than they were before.

There is no better single leg RDL variation than the landmine. Change my mind.

If your goal is to work on your balance systems / proprioception, then yeah, maybe you should work up to a single leg RDL on a bosu ball with your eyes closed juggling the colored scarves we had in elementary school.

But if your goal is to get as strong as possible on each leg, we don’t need to compromise force production for balance requirements.

Here are 3 reasons why the landmine setup is the best option for building strength and single leg stability:

1️⃣ The anchor point provides enough stability to focus on strength.
Unlike dumbbells, kettlebells, or barbells, the landmine’s contact point and fixed arc reduces unnecessary balance demands. That added stability lets you put more intent into the working leg, generate force through the lower extremity without worrying about falling. This allows you to actually train strength instead of just surviving the rep.

2️⃣ The angle of the load promotes better hip hinge mechanics.
The forward-angled resistance naturally promotes a clean hinge. It encourages a neutral spine and efficient posterior chain engagement without the compensations we often see in single-leg variations.

3️⃣ The barbell increases load potential, making it a serious strength tool.
This isn’t just a “rehab” exercise. The landmine allows progressive overload well beyond what most single-leg RDLs can handle. Heavier load, better positions, higher intent. This is exactly what we want for long-term strength development.

If you’re programming single-leg hinge work and want results, the landmine single-leg RDL isn’t just an option…it’s the new go-to

New Years is almost upon us…

This means the gyms are going to be crowded and gym etiquette will take a hit in the process.

If you’re a veteran, lead by example and show some grace.

If you’re new, learn quickly and don’t break these cardinal sins of gym etiquette:

1. Put your weights back. Every. Time.
2. Clean up after yourself. Nobody wants your butt sweat.
3. Be aware of your surroundings and respect other people’s bubble!
4. If your gym has chalk, use sparingly and keep it in the bucket.
5. Do not hog the equipment. If the gym is packed, don’t do a 5 station circuit using every known piece of equipment to man.
6. Do not hog the squat rack for your curls. If you aren’t hitting squats, deads, cleans, etc, make room for those that are.
7. Don’t stand in between your fellow patron and the mirror during their set. Some people actually use it for form and not vanity (wild concept, I know).
8. Think twice about giving unsolicited advice unless it is your job or it involves safety.
9. If you are going to scroll on your phone between sets, stand up and let others work in.
10. Your stomach is having a hard time adjusting to your new high protein diet - we get it. But do your best to not crop dust the entire gym.

What else grinds your gears at the gym?

Weights don’t hurt your back…

Your mechanics and intolerance to the load you chose do.

4 quick cues to clean things up and limit unnecessary strain in the low back:

1. Keep the load close. The further the weight travels away from your center of mass, the more likely you will feel the repercussions.

2. Correct your rib flare. This is often a sign you are not bracing sufficiently and leads to inefficient transfer of force and unnecessary compression in the low back.

3. Flatten your spine with your rows. A rounded back on your pulls tells me you are not efficiently recruiting your spinal extensors leaving you more susceptible to injury.

4. Stop leaning back with overhead presses. Whether it is compensation due to lack of mobility or a lack of overhead strength, leaning back repeatedly is sure to tighten your back up and possibly lead to some mechanical issues at the spine. Pick a weight you can stay stacked with or modify the movement.

Weights are never the problem. Nail down your mechanics and progress load responsibly…

But never stop lifting 👊
