Huge wins for Francesca this past Arnold ⨠and the path may surprise youā¦
Francesca came to us having made nationals in the past, but stuck and starting to breakdown (common pains - back, hip, knees, shoulders)
We shared a different path with herā¦
5 months later she had PRād everything and became under 25 national champion!
But then as training continued these aches and pains continued to slow her down.. so she made is very difficult decisionā¦
To stop competing for a year and to focus on correcting her movementā¦
The path wasnāt always linear⦠it wasnāt always smooth..
But she showed up, communicated, and gave it her bestā¦
And⦠it paid off! ā¤ļøā¤ļø
The very first step to correcting her movement started with her coreā¦
Thatās why we put together a free core mini course for Olympic weightlifters!
If you are experiencing the common pains (back, hips, knees, shoulders) this is the first step!

Good movement is the foundation for big lifts šļøāāļø
The foundation of good movement is a well functioning core
So many weightlifting programs emphasize sn**ch, clean, jerk, squat, and deadlift and may leave little room for core and accessories at the end
YET, you see weightlifters plagued with lower back, hip, knee, shoulder issues (because the core and accessories are poorly designed š©)
They finally go and see a physical therapist or a chiropractor or a doctor and then learn that they have to train and fix their core but weightlifting programming rarely is designed for this.
They get fixed, go back to training, break again, get fixed, go back to training, break againā¦
It is a cycle that many say is normal to the Olympic lifts, but more accurately its normal to short sighted programming and approach!
So why not start from the beginning, training the core in a way thatās going to allow your Olympic lifts to be the best they can be from the start?
That is exactly why we put together a free mini-course around a well-functioning core for weightlifting!
If youāre experiencing pain in your lifts or you just want to see your lifts go to the next levelā¦

For many athletes, especially masters, itās the truthā¦
I know. Thatās a hard one to sit with.
Because youāre not lazy.
You show up. Every session.
You push. You grind. You do the work.
And yet, the lifts have stalled, the progress is SLOW š¢
Hereās the thing youāll rarely hear...
Training harder isnāt the problem.
Training without a foundation is.
Iāve worked with athletes who were training 5, 6, even 10 sessions a week.
Strong. Committed. Frustrated.
Not because they werenāt working hard enough.
Because their body had nothing left to EXPRESS that work with.
The nervous system was tapped.
The movement patterns were breaking down under fatigue.
And every extra session was just adding noise on top of noise.
Now hereās what nobody wants to hear
The athletes Iāve watched make the biggest jumps in their lifts?
They trained LESS.
They recovered MORE.
And they built a foundation their body could actually build on.
One of our athletes went from training 10 sessions a week...
to 2 or 3.
Same weights. Then heavier weights.
Without the pain. Without the plateau.
Her words, not mine š
āThe least amount of lifts Iād ever done, the least amount of squats Iād ever done. And yet Iām getting stronger and moving weights better. What is happening?ā
What was happening was simple.
We stopped adding stress her body couldnāt use.
And started building something it could.
Two things I want you to take from this today:
Ā 1ļøā£ More is not always more. For masters athletes especially, it almost never is.
Ā 2ļøā£ If your lifts have been stuck for months, the answer is almost never another hard session. Itās a smarter one.
Your body is not broken⦠yet (training stupid will result in stupid things happening)
Itās not your age.
Itās not your genetics.
Itās the approach. And that can change.
If this hit close to home, comment āSMARTERā below.
Iāll reach out personally and weāll take a look at whatās going on. š

had a heck of a day and it wasnāt luck.. here is a big change he had in training recently š
Evan was having issues collapsing under heavy weight, his right leg losing control when he would be catching weight, and had even had some tweaks in the past from it all too..
The fix that he focused on this past cycleā¦
How he set his core/brace before getting into the lift.. if you watch his clean setup (3rd slide), youāll see it as he is coming down to the bar.
He first creates pressure into his pelvis with no breath (diaphragm activation) then adds breath on top of it!
His words, āI feel so much more solid!ā
One change in setup, HUGE change in results!
6 for 6, 2 State Records and š„š„š„ across the board!
Congrats Evan!! šš
Want to feel solid too?
Comment ācoreā š and Iāll send you the free core mini course we put together for weightlifters.
She stopped doing more and started doing this, now sheās lifting pain free. š
More sessions. More volume. More squats.
That was her answer to everything.
And yet... the pain kept showing up. The lifts stayed stuck.
Hereās the thing⦠it wasnāt a programming problem. It wasnāt a strength problem.
It was a core problem.
Now, I donāt mean core like sit-ups and planks.
I mean a core that can actually do its job in the Olympic lifts.
Think about it. Your core has to:
š§±Hold solid off the floor
šŖStay braced through the drive
š Relax as you transition under the bar
šļøāāļø Fire again the moment you catch the weight
Thatās not a static job.
Thatās a dynamic, responsive system and most lifters never train it that way.
When we dialed this in for her, something shifted.
Same weights on the bar. Less effort. Less pain. More control.
In a short amount of time, sheās lifting at percentages she hadnāt touched in forever and she doesnāt hurt after sessions anymore.
Period. Stop.
The foundation was always the missing piece.
If you want to know exactly how we train the core for the Olympic lifts, I put together a free core mini course just for this.

Itās game time!!
Your back doesnāt have to hurt š
Iāve been there.. training the Olympic lifts.. competing.. and boom š„
Hip/back pain so bad I had doctors telling me it was surgery..
Turns out it was HOW I was training that was causing the pain!!
No surgeryā¦
I came back strongerā¦
I can and do still compete in the sport of weightlifting!! (At age 40 I move better than I did in my 20s!)
I connect with SO many athletes who had a similar story and theyāre STILL NOT able to train weightlifting because the pain comes right back!
Sound familiar?
No one ever taught them how to
šØāš§ Fix their imbalances
šŖ Strengthen with good motor control
š
Get back to competition
I canāt thank enough for showing me the way. šš«”
We put together a core mini course for Olympic weightlifters which is the first step on the path out of the most common pain and setbacks lifters face..
