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.

Many people believe that the best way to get bigger, faster and stronger is to train relentlessly at all times, which is true, but people often overlook the importance of rest and recovery. The ability to give your body time to rest and recover will allow you to have even more success with your training. Some of the most important benefits are injury prevention and muscle growth.

When you perform exercises your muscles are experiencing stress and damage. When you give them time to rest they will repair themselves, building stronger muscles, which is where you will see muscle growth. Paul Jackson, strength and conditioning coach at Ole Miss stresses the importance of rest while maintaining a highly intensive and physically exhausting program.

As a young athlete it is important to understand the steps you can take to get the most out of your rest days. Rest does not just mean taking an off day. It means getting a good night of sleep, eating the right foods and drinking lots of water. It can also be beneficial to stretch and roll out.

Many top college football programs, including the University of Notre Dame, take rest and recovery into account when planning their schedules. Head Coach, Marcus Freeman, believes that sleep and nutrition are the two most important aspects of recovery. All high level programs feed their athletes exactly what their bodies need including Auburn as seen in the image above.

Nutrition plays a major role in all aspects of life but is an essential part of recovery. In order to maximize the benefits of your recovery you should focus on replenishing your body with what it needs. By focusing on eating high quality calories such as carbohydrates for energy replenishment, protein for muscle repair and growth and healthy fats to prevent inflammation.

On top of your nutrition sleep should be a major focus for all athletes no matter the level. Studies have shown that athletes should be getting a minimum of between 7-9 hours of sleep every night. It is estimated that 8-10 hours will have the greatest effect on recovery and overall health.

REP Athletics focuses on building you up to the point where you are able to maximize the benefits of Olympic lifts. By starting with the basic mechanics of the exercise athletes are able to master all aspects of the lift in a safe and constructive manner before putting it all together.

Olympic Lifts such as the power clean, push jerk and front squat have been used by strength coaches for a long time. Olympic lifts provide many benefits to athletes as they are highly intense and are full body exercises. Strength and conditioning coaches often have a strong emphasis on olympic lifts due to their ability to increase power, speed and strength. While building up your strength is important, Olympic lifts also help with injury prevention which is an important part of being an athlete.

Both Mickey Marotti, the strength and conditioning coach at Ohio State University and Rob Glass, strength and conditioning coach at Oklahoma State University, incorporate olympic lifts into their programs for their athletes. Olympic lifts have been proven to improve sport performance and is directly shown by the success of Oklahoma State and Ohio State. Olympic lifts continue to be a valuable part of athletics at all levels as their full body high intensity nature is easily translated to sports. If you want to learn more please visit our website.
