Do you only Barbell bench?? You’re missing out on some key elements in growing your strength and keeping your joints healthy!

🔵 Dumbbells expose your weak side FAST

Unlike a barbell, each arm works independently so you can’t hide imbalances. If one side is weaker, it shows immediately (and gets fixed faster).

🔵 Bigger range of motion = bigger gains

Dumbbells let you go deeper at the bottom compared to a barbell, which increases stretch on the chest this means more muscle-building potential over time.

🔵 More joint-friendly for most people

You can adjust your grip and arm path naturally, making DB bench way more shoulder-friendly especially if straight bar benching bothers your joints.

Quarterly Testing!!

In our Clinical Strength Training classes, we test every 3 months to see the progress of our athletes in class and check in with our programming. We are looking for improvements in upper and lower body strength, anaerobic capacity, and movement patterns.

Testing is a great way for us to make sure our programs are meeting the needs of our athletes. It also highlights where athletes have improved and what areas we need to continue working on!

Interested in joining our CST classes? Message us today to learn more about how you can join our community of athletes who are working towards being stronger and moving better!

If you want to move faster, cut harder, and reduce your risk of injury, start with your ankles!!

Here are 3 ways to build stronger, more resilient ankles:

🔸Control Your Movements

Slow, controlled movements like single leg calf raises and anterior tibialis raises build strength through full range. Isometrics like this video are another great way to build endurance and strength in the ankle.

🔸Train Stability on One Leg

Your sport isn’t played on two feet. Add single leg balance holds, reaches, or unstable surface work to improve control and reduce injury risk. Include heavy single leg movements like Single leg RDLs or Rear Foot Elevated Split Squats to challenge your stability under a load.

🔸Add Plyometrics

Strength is great but can you absorb force? Use pogo jumps, bounds, and hops to teach your ankles to handle speed and impact better!

04/02/2026

Plyometrics are important for all athletes! They generate more power in their sport specific movements when they are doing plyometrics in the gym!

☑️ Improves Explosive Power

Plyometrics train the stretch shortening cycle, how rapidly your muscles can lengthen and contract. The faster this cycle happens the more power you produce.

☑️ Enhances Speed and Agility

Quick ground contact movements creates faster reactions and ability to change directions. The more efficiently you can move the more successful you will be in your sport.

☑️ Builds Resilience

Plyometrics help the body absorb force more effectively. Over time, when trained correctly plyometrics will strengthen muscles, ligaments, and tendons which will reduce risk of injury.

☑️ Improves Coordination and Body Control

Jumps, change of direction movements, and acceleration/ deceleration all challenge the body’s balance, coordination, and spatial awareness. This is another great tool to reduce injury risk!

☑️ Strength Transfers into Sport Performance

Being able to lift weights is awesome, you want that strength to transfer onto the playing field as well. Plyometrics bridge the gap between being strong and moving quickly. Faster power production is the goal!

Why is strength training important for women?

As women age bones become more fragile, muscle mass decreases, mobility and stability decreases. By age 30 these changes have started.

Strength training 2-3x per week for 30-45 minutes can improve bone density, preserve and rebuild muscle mass to keep joints more protected and can improve metabolic function.

Don’t wait to start strength training, what you are doing today will impact your next 10 years. Let TMA help you move better for longer!

Each week we see young athletes who:

- Do not warm-up/ cool-down properly before or after practices and games
- Have multiple practices and lifts in the same day
- Are not taught proper mechanics for their sport or lifting weights
- move from one sport season to the next with no off time

At The Mobile Athlete we work with athletes to:

- Improve movement patterns and sport specific mechanics
- Educate athletes on the importance of proper warm-ups and cool-downs
- Create programs for athletes that emphasize recovery days
- Reduce pain and risk for overuse and acute injuries

We want to help you or your athlete be better equipped for competitive seasons! Message us today to learn more about how to become more resilient and compete for longer!

The best time to start lifting was 10 years ago. The second best time is today. 🏋️

But here’s what nobody talks about: you can’t build strength on a broken foundation.

Before the gains come the basics:

→ Fix the nagging injury
→ Correct the movement
→ Then get stronger

Skip those steps and you’re just stacking load on dysfunction and wondering why something always hurts.

Once you’re moving well?

The payoff is massive:

→ You preserve muscle mass (we lose 3–8% per decade after 30)
→ Bones get denser, reducing fracture risk
→ Metabolism stays fired up
→ Balance improves — fewer falls, more confidence
→ Hormones regulate, mood lifts, sleep deepens
→ You stay independent longer

Strength training in your 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond isn’t about aesthetics.

It’s about being capable, pain-free, and vital for decades to come.

Your future self will thank you. 💪

Pushing through pain isn’t mental toughness.

It’s how a 2-week problem becomes a 2-month one.

The athletes who stay on the field longest aren’t the ones who ignore pain. They’re the ones who act on it fast.

Feel it. Assess it. Address it.

That’s the system.

If you’ve been training around something that isn’t going away, then you have your sign.

Schedule a free discovery call. Find out what’s actually wrong and get a real plan to fix it.

Athletes don’t just need rehab.

They need strength.

I get pretty annoyed when a clinician considers themselves a “sports medicine” practice but they don’t actually prepare their athletes for their sport.

Most rehab programs focus on reducing pain and restoring motion but the completely neglect strength training.

But competing (and life for that matter) requires something more:

Strength, Power AND Durability.

That’s why our rehab process includes progressive strength training from early in the recovery process.

In this session we’re using Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) to safely build strength while protecting healing
tissue.

Because the goal isn’t just to feel better.

It’s to return to your sport (and life) stronger, more resilient, and ready for the demands of competition.

Yesterday we had the opportunity to invite some Mercer DPT students into the clinic to showcase some of our VALD equipment.

I think it’s incumbent upon every physical therapist to pour into the next generation of PTs.

We are a small community of highly specialized practitioners.

And the whole profession is elevated when we share our knowledge with each other and raise the bar

I’m so impressed that these student physical therapists took time out of their Sunday to come to the clinic.

We have some really cool technology here at TMA that we use with our athletes to help them move better for longer and it was fun to share that with this group.

Keep studying and keep pushing and you’ll be DPTs before you know it!
