Fitness Education by Dr. Guradesh Mann

Tight adductors at the bottom of a squat are a message. Most trainers stretch them. That misses the point.

The real question is why so much force is going through the inner thigh in the first place. Usually the answer is upstream — the core isn't controlling the pelvis, so the adductors compensate and overload.

Today's CPT class: the 5 adductors, why magnus is a secondary hip extensor, and the full squat assessment — ankle, knee, hip, spine — done from 4 angles. Plus the stability spectrum that tells you which squat variation your client is licensed for.

Coaching the squat without a ground-up assessment is how clients get hurt.

If your clients get elbow pain during curls, you're not correcting their technique. You're ignoring their anatomy.
The same is true every time they feel it during pushdowns.

This past weekend inside our GMFE offline CPT course, we covered the biceps and triceps lecture. Here's what we went through:

Biceps:
• Three muscles flex the elbow. The carrying angle is individual, and the wrong grip width creates rotational stress at the joint every single rep.
• Supination is the primary function of the bicep, not just elbow flexion. A curl without supination trains half the muscle.
• The brachialis is the largest elbow flexor by volume. Most people have never directly trained it.
• DB curls, EZ bar, cable curls, incline curls, hammer curls and when each one is the right choice.

Triceps:
• Triceps make up two-thirds of the upper arm. Three heads. Three ranges. Most programs only train one.
• How force line alignment and handle width determine whether the tricep works or the elbow takes the load.
• Why scapular stability is a prerequisite for every tricep exercise, including pushdowns.
• The full progression from cable pushdowns to overhead extensions to decline skull crushers.

We don't just teach what the muscle is. We teach how to apply it, on a real client, in a real gym.

The DB shrug is the most popular trap exercise in every gym. It only trains one of two fiber populations.

This past weekend inside our GMFE offline CPT course, we covered the traps and rhomboids lecture. Here's what we went through:

• Why the upper trap has two distinct fiber populations, and why most programs completely miss the bulk of the muscle
• The difference between vertical and cable shrugs, and which one actually trains the transverse fibers
• Why the mid trap shrug is not a row. It's pure scapular retraction, and most people have never done it correctly
• How arm path determines which part of the upper back you actually train
• Lower trap weakness and why it leads to shoulder impingement over time
• Scapular stability assessment and how it determines exercise selection for every client
• Common faults including shoulder rolling, momentum during shrugs, and over-retracting
• Corrective exercises, the full progression ladder, and when you actually need designated trap volume

We don't just teach what the muscle is. We teach how to apply it, on a real client, in a real gym.

Every client thinks they're training lats. Most of them are training biceps and rear delts.

And if you've ever felt your forearms or biceps taking strain over time — getting sore, getting injured — that's exactly why.

This past weekend inside our GMFE offline CPT course — we covered the lats lecture. Here's what we went through:

• Lat anatomy — the only muscle connecting your arm directly to your spine, and what that means for every pulling movement
• Why arm path determines what you actually train — and how most people default to rear delt, not lat
• Grip selection and forearm alignment — small changes, massive difference in muscle recruitment
• Shoulder mechanics and the 30° rule for overhead pulling
• Full ROM exercise selection — why most programmes over-index on mid-range rows
• Lat pulldown, cable row, barbell row, and DB row — setup and ex*****on for each
• Common faults and fixes — including why biceps and forearms take over in the first place
• The lat length test, corrective exercises, and the progression ladder from machine to free weights

We don't just teach what the muscle is. We teach how to apply it — on a real client, in a real gym.

"Just do incline for upper chest." — the most repeated advice in every gym. Also wrong.

This weekend inside our GMFE offline CPT course, we covered the chest lecture. Here's what we went through:

• Anatomy of the pec major — 3 fibre regions and why angle changes everything
• Why incline doesn't always mean upper chest — your sternum angle decides that
• How to change body position vs line of force to target each fibre region
• Why rib cage depth, sternum angle, and forearm length change the entire setup
• Whether the bar should touch the chest — and why the answer is never the same for every client
• Press vs fly, cable vs dumbbell, and when to use each
• The full progression ladder from machine to free weights
• Common faults, fixes, and corrective exercises for the most common restrictions

We don't just teach what the muscle is. We teach how to apply it — on a real client, in a real gym.

And we’re officially live! 🎯

CNLC batch kicked off on October 11th with 20 dedicated students ready to master nutrition coaching.

8 weekends. 48 hours of intensive training. By Week 4, they’ll be taking clients. By Week 8, operating at expert level.

This is what real education looks like: small batches, personal attention, and an interactive curriculum that evolves as the training goes on. Not a fixed script, but training that adapts to what you actually need.

If you’ve been thinking about becoming a coach, our next Certified Personal Trainer course starts in December.

Early bird pricing ends soon. DM “CPT” for details.
