I am so grateful for the memories and time we spent together. I’ll cherish every kiss that left my ear ringing for hours, every hot towel that awaited me when I got out of the shower, and every calorie consumed from chocolate milk, Nutella and Ramen. I’ll never forget that you were there for me when I was unable to care for myself - even though, at times, I didn’t deserve it. At some point, things started to change, and the Noney I knew was slowly robbed from me. I wish I could go back in time to that very moment to hold you, tell you I love you, and that I’ll be there for you when you’re unable to care for yourself. Even in the clutches of Alzheimer’s, our relationship blossomed into something truly beautiful, despite the degenerative nature of it’s disease course. This was the longest and most painful goodbye that culminated in a fairytale ending where we were able to have our last dance, massage, ice cream and beach trip. You truly don’t know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory. I love you Noney ❤️

January 15th is always a tough day for me, but it really helps me put things in perspective. Earlier this year, I wrote my personal statement for residency. It was a struggle trying to get my point across and put my thoughts on paper, but the painstaking process of reflection helped me recognize something. So much good comes out of bad situations. Not only bad situations, but challenging ones as well. And that’s what MakinMovesMD and being a physician is all about; to help other people get through some of the most challenging and difficult experiences of their lives. With that being said, I know I’m where I’m supposed to be, doing what I’m supposed to be doing with some amazing family, friends and coworkers. It’s hard to believe it’s been 18 years, and even more difficult to believe it’s taken 27 years to put the pieces of this puzzle together. 01-15-04.

🚀$100,000 in 5 years...
-
✅This is more than just raising money, we are changing the way we support our charitable organizations. More detailed information to come over the next couple of weeks regarding the Donor Advised Fund, WeBull Roth IRA account set up, and more.

⚡️The only core move you need👆
-
✅The muscles that make up the core function primarily as stabilizers and “anti” movers. When we say “anti” movers, we are referring to the fact that the core primarily OPPOSES external forces rather than internally producing force to achieve proper stabilization.
-
✅The dynamic pallof press trains core anti-extension, anti-flexion, anti-rotation, and anti-lateral flexion of the torso which is why this move should be part of every training program.
-
👇Below are some coaching points endorses during these moves👍
1️⃣push the ground away from you; don’t just lean away from the weight stack
2️⃣think both up (anti-extension) and out (anti-rotation)
3️⃣lock the rib cage to the pelvis; the motion should come from the hips and upper back, not the lower back
4️⃣feel the trailing leg glute firing at the top position
5️⃣ to prevent early deceleration, imagine throwing your hands through the ceiling

‼️PULL-UP Challenge‼️
-
✅Looking to get more out of your pull-ups? Give this a try without letting your feet touch the ground.
-
1️⃣Leg Raise x1
2️⃣Hanging Bat Pull-up x1
3️⃣Around the Clock Pull-up x2 (right and left)
4️⃣Commando Pull-up
-
💥Each pull-up variation emphasizes different muscles of the back. These are highlighted in yellow/orange in the bottom right corner for each pull-up variation. 👇Below are some tips to keep in mind when targeting different muscles of the back.
-
✅Placing the elbow in front of the body stimulates a stretch reflex for the lats, which recruits the muscle fibers of the lats to be the primary mover.
✅Placing your body in a horizontal position relative to the pull-up bar will emphasize the rhomboid muscles while placing the body in a vertical position will emphasize the lats.
✅Adding rotation to one side of the body (as seen in the commando and around the clock variations) allows our arms to get behind our body. This allows the lats and lower trapezius muscles to reach maximal contractile force by increasing the working range of motion.

💯If you’re up for the challenge, take a video of yourself and post to your story and tag

‼️Muscle Failure Technique #1: Concentric➡️Isometric➡️Eccentric failure‼️
-
➡️Concentric: This is the muscle shortening phase of a movement (e.g pushing down in the rope in a tricep extension).
➡️Isometric: This describes the static contraction of a muscle during a movement (e.g maintaining tricep contraction at a 90 degree angle in reference to the elbow).
➡️Eccentric: This is the muscle elongation phase of a movement (e.g controlling the ascent of the rope after performing the tricep pushdown).
-
✅We reach concentric muscle failure first followed by isometric failure and lastly, eccentric failure. If our goal is to truly reach muscle failure at the end of our workout, we must reach muscle failure concentrically➡️isometrically➡️eccentrically.
-
💥How to apply to your workout: Perform 2-3 sets for an isolated single-joint movement using the method described in the video above.

Without challenges, there would be no motivation and without motivation, there would be no change. KEEP WORKING!
