Dynamic stretching with movements similar to your workout (even the same movements at a lighter weight or lighter pace) will prepare your muscles, joints, and tendons better than static stretching.

Save the static stretching for your cool down afterwards!

Core training goes beyond sit ups!

A strong core means stability through the trunk (back) and hips. Anti-rotations, heavy carries, and planks are better options than just crunches.

You should be activating your core with every lift!

If you want a stronger core, back, trunk to improve your lifts and overall quality of life, message me and let's get you started on a great program today!

📣 Stop and watch!!

This patient struggled with his squat feeling "bad" for a long time.

In his exam I found very restricted ankle range of motion. I then watched him squat *key step!* His limited ankle motion and longer femurs was causing him to drop his chest and let his knees cave in for more depth.

Instead of spending the session trying to cue him out of that, I wanted to add some weight and see what happened. Guess what?! It cleared up most of his faults without me having to tell him anything.

He left the session feeling encouraged instead of beat down and defeated by endless cues that might not have worked. *big win!*

So yes, we're still going to work on his ankle mobility (and hip mobility) but I also recommended elevating his heels (or getting lifter shoes) in the mean time as he said just elevating his heels felt so much better. And I gave him a couple key cues to work on his butt wink at home.

Sometimes it's better not to overcomplicate things. And if you have a PT who isn't familiar with the squat or never asks you to squat when you say you have pain or difficulty with it (or any other lift, run, exercise, etc), find a new PT who will! Aka Me 🙋‍♀️

Message me SQUAT if this looks like you or you're struggling with any other exercise and let's make it better!
