Rotator Cuff Rehab: 2 KEY elements for a full recovery to sport- overhead, external rotation &
1)mobility + 2)strength in ALL ranges of motion!

Most PT stops at low level basic boring wimpy band exercises that don't translate to real-life movements!!

Overhead actions like throwing, benching, or swimming require stability and strength.

Make sure your PT program addresses these advanced rehab needs.

Coffe +PROTEIN HACK!
start your day with this Protein Quick hack for better metabolism & lean muscle:

I tell all my clients to
"Front load" your day with protein and fuel first-
Short on time or can't stomach food pre workout?

Adding a protein scoop to your coffee is bare min ez option for workouts & a healthy metabolism....

I use chocolate ๐Ÿซ whey (20% off use code DaraRichman)

Starting with a bit protein and carbs sets you up for a better workout, better lean muscles = better body composition!

Aim for 4-6 meals a day with 20-40grams of protein.

This coffee + protein powder or shake=30-40grams.

fasted workouts in the am tend to not work as well for Athletes 40+

Lack of food= lack of fuel= this does NOT mean more fat loss-

it means low energy, poor performance & driving up strsss response & cortisol which worsens metabolism long term !
