using our 15 Degree Adjustable We**ie to perform some DIY back extensions on the squat rack.

The 15 Degree We**ie weighs 30 pounds and is anti-slip so the weight behind the we**ie is optional.

Have you tried this setup before?

Idk who needs to hear this, but if you’re a runner, TAP INTO YOUR TOES MORE. Your stride starts from the ground. Proprioception, stability and unilateral strength is key.

Partner Goblet Squat Finisher 🚀

When you love your clients and they’re about to go vacation in Mexico, you hit them with a finisher that will make sure they relax and sit their a** down while they’re there 😆

This is a ISO hold goblet squat pyramid up finisher.

Both start in an ISO hold, and then they alternate repping squats up, 1/1, 2/2, 3/3, 4/4,…all the way up to 8 in this instance.

To say it’s spicy is an understatement.

As they say: “Pain shared is pain divided, happiness shares is happiness multiplied.”

first divided the pain, then shared the happiness when it was over (since they had 3 sets).

with the great breakdown on the benefits of squat wedges 👇
・・・
I love using a wedge / heels elevated position (downhill ramp) for squats, and various lower body drills.
What the whole foot elevated on the wedge does is push us forward. Imagine I’m walking on a downslope. My body will follow and lean forward, so we have to bring ourselves back towards the heels to counteract that forward push. A front racked position will help with that.
This opens up the front part of the ankle placing more pressure through the heel, which gives us more range of motion to move forward from. The shifting back puts us in plantarflexion. So, if you ever feel really jammed up in the front of the ankle, this gives you more space needed for dorsiflexion when squatting. More space to move into = easier to get down in a squat. Great for someone whose center of mass is more forward towards their toes. That’s me!
I like using a heel elevation to open up more relative motion at the foot and unweight the body. If we are very FORWARD in our body, we get heavier. We get stiffer. We have to resist falling forward. Here we can shift the center of mass back, expand the back side of the body, and open up the ankle and hip.
I love adding the full foot elevation for many of my clients, also adding in constraints to get the most out of squats! An example may be a heels elevated squat with foam roller, super helpful for shifting back.
The full foot heels elevated may be tricky for someone with super high arches, so that may be a time I explore a different option, like heels only, toes off.
I’ve been using wedges for my squats for 3 years and they’ve made a huge difference for me. Over time, you may be able to decrease the thickness, or remove them altogether. I do like using a wedge vs dumbbells because there is more reference for the 🦶

teaching us how to grow your quads with Smith Machine Split Squats🦵👇

This implementation of a smith machine split squat is focused on biasing (targeting) the quadriceps.

By using a wedge and using different internal cues like creating frictional forces with the ground I make this exercise “more” quadriceps focused.

No matter how intentional you are in your setup and ex*****on on a multi-joint exercise like this you will NOT isolate a muscle. Everything between the bar and the ground is playing a role. This means your glutes are absolutely working too, it’s just now that they will contribute LESS than the quadriceps based on what you see in this video.

If you’ve struggled to let go of lingering pelvic floor tension or assumed your pelvic floor is “just weak”, here’s the reframe you’ve been missing.

More strength isn’t always what it needs.

If you resonate with being hypermobile, have a history of ankle sprains, or often feel a little wobbly in space, your pelvic floor might be clenching as a protective strategy. When the lower body doesn’t feel supported, the pelvic floor steps in and tries to create that stability by gripping.

The good news?

You can teach your system a new pattern.

Learning to sense yourself in space through:
• Foot connection + foot mechanics
• Slower, controlled lifts and iso holds
• Multiple points of reference (hello, feet on the wall!)
…helps build real lower-limb stability, which signals the pelvic floor that it’s safe to release instead of brace.

Your pelvic floor isn’t being stubborn.

It’s responding to what it perceives as instability.

Change the input → change the output.

This is just one example of what we dive into inside Pelvic Floor Foundations: choosing positions and setups that connect the foot, hip, and total-body movement to build functional stability from the ground up.
If you’re ready to experience this work in your own body, join Pelvic Floor Foundations.

Anyone real want with frequent ankle sprains AND pelvic floor issues??⁉️

Add This To Your Squat Variations 👇
・・・
Made some minor tweaks and loving this as a squat variation!

Stand on a plate and add wedges and when using the trap bar you’ll be able to be very upright and get a lot of range of motion without tapping the ground (and keeping tension the whole way).

Getting clients to be able to have more joint friendly variations (for those who need them) to be able to drive the results we want, that’s the name of the game.

continues to crush it every session and has made such an amazing transformation in the last couple years!

Save this and try it.

3 reasons why you can’t squat deeper 👇
・・・
🧠 Struggling to hit squat depth no matter how much you stretch?

It’s usually not flexibility, it’s control.

👉 Fix the low back by loosening it with slow rolling.

👉 Open the ankles by driving the shin forward while keeping the heel grounded.

Do you experience low back or hip pain during your deadlifts?

It might be caused by stretching your sciatic nerve at the bottom of the lift.

To fix it, try elevating your heels on a SquatWe**iez slant board.

This helps shorten the sciatic nerve, reduce lower back stress, and keep your hips and hamstrings in better alignment for pain-free lifting.
