🔥Simple Effective Solution To A Big Problem

If you find that your hand grip gives out when attempting to hold a heavy dumbbell when performing specific exercises then using lifting straps like my client Maria is using can simply solve your problem.
This will also apply when performing heavy barbell exercises such as deadlifts or bent over rows.

If this sounds like you give it a try.

🔥One Of The Best Strength Training Tips For The Over 40 And Beyond Lifters..💪🏾

Priming and activating the muscles in the body is a method I like to perform my self and with clients before the main strength exercises of the session. As you get older I find that performing your main or big lifts a little later in the workout can feel so much better on your joints. As well as help improve your longevity when it comes to strength training. That increased blood flow and getting a good pump in the muscles that are going to be worked creates a cushioning effect in your joints when you perform your heavier focused lifts.

I generally select a group of 2 -3 exercises targeting certain areas of the body and muscle groups that will be focused on during the given session. I sometimes will also select a plyometric/power exercise within the group of priming exercises. I have done another post on this method which I can tag you on if you wanna learn more about it, just send me a message.

The goal is to have some exercises that don’t leave you feeling completely depleted and just enough that you lubricate your joints and feel good after going through them 2-3 times and within a rep range of around 10-20 or sometimes even higher.

In the video the first 3 exercises is my
Priming sequence before I get into my main lifts.
1.
a)Poliquin step up
b) Band leg curls
c) Gripless face pull to overhead press

As an experiment: Try performing 1 or 2 of your accessory exercises first before your main lift and see how you feel. For example: a leg curl variation before you barbell squat. Push ups and band pull parts or face pulls before you bench press. Glute bridges or hip thrust variation before you barbell deadlift. You may not lift as much as you normally would as you get used to it but I almost guarantee your joints will feel better.😊

I Think I Found A New Hobby!!
Had a great first experience last weekend of indoor rock climbing. We spent two hours learning and practicing bouldering and belaying. It was challenging at the start learning the fundamentals. I added video footage in order. Starting with just bouldering and struggling trying to grip and hold on as you will see in the first video. I learned that your legs play a big role. As the lesson went on I started to get the hang of it. I honestly really enjoyed it😊 It’s a great challenge and full body workout 😅 💪🏾. I’ll be back…

Have you ever wondered what a strength session might look like for a general population client🤔

I want to share an example of how a full body strength session would look for a general population client. Every client is unique in there own way and how I would create there training plan..

Maria is 60 years young, mother, wife while working running her own business. She has some loss of cartilage at her hip and is trying to avoid surgery for as long as possible.

Outside of the gym she enjoys being outside doing activities like playing tennis, hiking and running whenever she can and the hip allows her to.

My plan and goal for her was to help her build and develop strength and muscle around the hip to keep it stable and strong whilst implementing various exercises over a period of time. We have been working together for roughly 10 months now, two days a week and has made some great progress in her strength. Which has made her enjoy her outdoor activities even more and with confidence.

Her workout plan after a dynamic warm up:

1.Prime, Activation:
a. Figure four hip thrust
b. Isometric 10 second Y,W,T’s
c. Plank with Arm March

2.Strength/Muscle Building:
a.Bulgarian Split Squats
b.Single Arm Chest Press

3.
a.Single Arm Split Stance Row
b.Chop
c.Keiser Leg Curl Machine (video not shown)

When creating a program I generally like to incorporate a mix of bodyweight and weights when it comes to strength training. In my own training plan as well as with my personal training clients. Specific Body weight only strength exercises gives me a good mental challenge of knowing and having the ability to move my body through space. It creates a level athleticism for me that I want to maintain especially as I get older. It’s also fun to include into your strength training routine while creating a challenge and goal for you to strive for.

If you are over 40 adding in some body weight exercises within your capability along with your weights can be great for overall athleticism and joint health. You will also practice developing your relative strength which is your ability to produce maximal force compared to your bodyweight.

Highlights from my recent and last session full body strength workout phase.

1.Prime, Activation and Strength Skill work:

a) Band pull aparts
b) 5 second Eccentric only handstand push up (skill work)
c) Patrick/ Poliquin step ups

2. Strength/ Power:

KB Single Arm Clean and Press

3 .Strength/ Muscle building:

a) Chin up w@angles90

4.
a)Cable hip abduction
b) Core-Trunk rotation
