The best stretch for your lower body you’ve been missing: Bicep femoris, the lateral hamstring:

1️⃣ it often gets gummed up with our IT band causing common IT band syndrome. This stretch will help separate the fibers.
2️⃣ this muscle disctates how the hip functions and if too tight, can limit a lot of the joints in the pelvis
3️⃣ it attaches below the knee and assists in rotation of the knee, if too tight, can limit movement in the knee
4️⃣ this stretch gives tons of feedback to the brain on how your hip connects all the way down to the foot.
Do your stretches!

As we recognize world Mental Health Day we thought it would be nice to talk about easy, free tools you can use to clear your mind: 1️⃣ Go for a walk outside: getting fresh air and sunlight increases serotonin and endorphins, regulates blood sugar, and helps set your circadian rhythm. 2️⃣ Slow down and take note of your breathing: this will stimulate Vagal nerve which is calming for your nervous system. It will also reduce tension in your neck and upper traps. 3️⃣ Laugh: according to the Cleveland Clinic laughter releases neuropeptides that help fight stress and potentially more-serious illnesses.

Many people hear creatine and instantly think of steroids, but that is because they may not yet know what creatine is or understand its function. Creatine is a natural source of energy that aids in the contracting (flexing) of the body’s skeletal muscles (muscles that connect to your bones). Roughly half of the creatine in your body comes from your diet, particularly in foods with high protein levels such as red meat, animal milk and seafood. The other half is produced naturally in your body by your kidney, liver and pancreas.
When you take creatine as a supplement the majority of it ends up in your muscles boosting their ability to create more ATP which is used as fuel for your cells during high intensity training. Your body builds more lean muscle tissue when you take creatine because creatine causes them to hold more water.
Creatine helps with muscle recovery and rebuilding. When you exercise you create micro-tears in the muscle fibers. When these fibers repair themselves they are stronger which is how people build strength. Creatine aids in activating cells in your muscles which helps them heal the micro-tears. Studies have also found that creatine increases the presence of anabolic hormones which causes growth and tissue repair. On top of muscle growth and repair the boost in water content in cells can help reduce dehydration and cramping.
Creatine has been shown to have cognitive benefits as well. Recently a paper published by Scientific Reports expressed that studies have found that a single large dose of creatine can help with cognitive function which could help people who are acutely sleep deprived. Marco Machado, Ph.D, states that creatine has shown promise in improving cognition in older adults, particularly those who do not eat lots of animal products and who may have mild brain trauma and sleep depravity.

At REP Athletics the main focus is on maximizing the potential of young athletes. This means building a synergetic athlete with a process that begins with identifying muscle imbalances and weaknesses. For all young athletes who come through REP the first step is to work on improving those imbalances or weaknesses before moving on to more advanced exercises.

Accessory Exercises are used to address any weakness or muscle imbalance that could be holding you back. Muscle imbalances or weaknesses are a common cause of injury in athletes and being able to address them directly can be very beneficial in both injury prevention and recovery. While they may not be the main focus of your workout routine they will be an important part of your success as an athlete.

Your primary lift or exercises will likely be something like squats, deadlifts or bench press which will often be followed with your accessory exercises. These can include things like reverse lunges, dead bugs, and pull ups. These exercises are able to target more specific muscles meaning you can directly address areas of imbalance or weakness.

Accessory exercises have been used by strength and conditioning coaches at all levels including at big time football programs such as Arkansas (with strength and conditioning coach Ben Herbert) and LSU (with strength and conditioning coach Tommy Moffitt). Ben Herbert’s all time favorite exercise is the pull-up which he believes is an “untapped goldmine for strength production”.

It can be very easy for young athletes to incorporate accessory lifts into their workout plan since many of them, such as lunges and dead bugs, can be done as a body weight exercise.
