Unsure about setting up for a floor press? Here is how I like to do it.

Dumbbell variation: Place dumbbells near your hips. Keep elbows tight to your sides and rock back, keeping upper arms close to the ground. Forearms should be vertical at a 90-degree angle when ready to press. Press, then return elbows to the ground and dumbbells to your hips.

Barbell Variation: Lie under the bar, roll it to your hips, and bend your knees. Grip the bar and bridge to lift it over your chest. Perform your set. To finish, bridge again, return the bar to the hips, then lower it to the ground.

If you're a weightlifter struggling to keep the barbell close to your body due to limited shoulder mobility, particularly in internal rotation and scapular upward rotation, consider incorporating the following drills. These target improved access to the glenohumeral joint, thoracic extension, and scapulothoracic mechanics — all of which are critical for maintaining an efficient and vertical bar path during the pull and turnover phases of the lift.

One of the biggest misconceptions when it comes to squatting is that “knee cave” during a squat is something that needs to be corrected - and the solution is often limited to “improving glute activation”.
But, in reality, “knee cave” (aka knee valgus) can happen for all kinds of different reasons in a squat. And, more often than not, it’s usually a position that offers our bodies some much needed positional and muscle recruitment variability.

Do you have tight hip flexors that don’t seem to get any better no matter how much stretching and mobility work you do? It might mean that your hip flexors need more strength, not more flexibility.

When certain muscle groups lack strength they can assume a tighter resting state as a strategy to provide more support that they might not be able to achieve sufficiently through muscular force. Try these exercises to build the strength in your hip flexors.

- Standing weighted hip flexor march
- Supine hip flexor lift off bench
- Eccentric sit up on bench

Teamwork and strategy are key to success. Build fitness over time, but remember, a solid game plan with your teammates makes all the difference in a HYROX race.

Do you need to activate your glutes before every leg workout? Not necessarily, especially if you aren’t nursing any injuries or pain.

Your glutes don’t just forget how to turn on or work. By not doing them before every workout, you might save yourself some time and energy and your glutes will still work just fine.

With that said, if they make you feel more prepared and you have the time, then go for it. Remember, the best warmup is the one that makes you feel ready for the activity, not the specific drill that Instagram says you should do.

Sometimes it can be discouraging to still be in pain after several weeks or months, but progress in PT isn’t always about pain reduction.

Another sign of progress is having access to more motion, especially if it improves your quality of life. Or feeling more confident in your movement so that you can feel better doing your sport. Or maybe even being able to do an activity you weren’t able to do before.

And let’s not forget understanding more of how and why your pain affects you so that way you can feel more in control of your pain and life. Don’t lose hope and remember that navigating pain is all about the mindset.

With tendinopathy patients, the concensus is to use isometrics first, then heavy slow eccentrics. EQI's help bridge the gap between iso and eccentric. Choose a single limb exercise and get a submaximal weight. Hold an isometric contraction at mid range for 30 seconds, then slowly move into a eccentric contraction for 15 seconds for the rest of the range.

You should be at near failure at the end of the isometric so choose a weight that will get you there. 2 to 3 sets of 1 repetition is more than enough.
