The holidays are just around the corner! Don’t let old New Years resolutions stay a dream, get in touch with me today!

Technical Tuesday!

Just wanted to share a few helpful tips on one of my favorite exercises the sumo deadlifts.

• 🦶foot position varies from person to person but a good starting point is feet past shoulder width with toes flared out pointing to the top of a standard 45lb plate.

• 👏hand position on the bar is typically placed below the shoulder (I do double over grip but you may do alternate)

• 🔑 tip is to generate tension and how I like to explain it as pulling the slack out of the bar and setting the hips down and roll the shoulders back to keep it all together. By creating the tension we can more effectively pull the weight off the floor and do it safely.

•Lastly as you reach the top avoid leaning back or overextending. This extra movement will affect your lower back and is unnecessary to the lift, instead hip thrust into the bar and keep bar close to the body.

There are many other helpful tips not mentioned but always practice safe lifts and don’t be afraid to ask for help!!! 🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♀️🏋️💪

Walking Wednesday!!!!

Fun fact of the day:
Did you know to burn off a plain M&M candy, you would need to walk the length of a football field? I better get started 🤣😬🚶‍♂️💨🍭🍫🍬

Late night workout, but early morning food!🌝🌞
Anabolic French toast with lil eggies and had to treat myself to TWO bacon strips 😤

Check out the link in my bio for this recipe in Greg Doucette’s wonderful cookbook!!!

Need a pick me up to keep grinding at the gym? 😓

Running out of the sauce?🥺

Have no fear I got you, check my bio for an amazing preworkout from HTLT. With 350mg of caffeine in a full serving it’s bound to make every workout great! 😤😤

If you like dinosaurs, make sure you don’t neglect your”tricep”-atops 🦖🦕!

How I like to perform the tricep extension with a rope is:
•Lean over slightly and letting the hips come back
• Pull downwards before pulling the rope apart
• lastly to have the knuckles face the floor as you pull apart. Add a slight pause at the end of the pull for extra spice.

Cheers Dino lads 😤

If you’ve been living under a rock, the barbell hip thrust is one heck of a exercise for the glutes.

Some tips to get the most out of this one:
•Tuck the chin to avoid hyper extending your back
• Keeping a flat back and moving the hips and back together
• Lastly actually squeezing your cheeks, think you got the winning lottery ticket between your butt, hold on for dear life

Cheers 🍑enthusiasts!

F is for friends who lift stuff together!

Sometimes it’s a great idea to train with a buddy. Another set of eyes can really identify any issues with form or technique that will improve your time spent at the gym! Also they can help encourage and push you to be better! 🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♀️🏋️

If you don’t have any friends you are welcome to reach out me.

Consistency is 🔑! Plan ahead your training sessions so you are prepared!
Planning leads to higher adherence to your goals. Fail to plan is planning to fail!

Defiantly can see the planets heating up 🌍🔥💥🏋️🏋️‍♀️
