Unpopular Truth: You’re nagging pain isn’t because you’re getting old…

Huge wins for Francesca this past Arnold ✨ and the path may surprise you…

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 her…

5 months later she had PR’d 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 decision…

To stop competing for a year and to focus on correcting her movement…

The path wasn’t always linear… it wasn’t always smooth..

But she showed up, communicated, and gave it her best…

And… it paid off! ā¤ļøā¤ļø

The very first step to correcting her movement started with her core…

That’s 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 šŸ‹ļøā€ā™€ļø

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 šŸ’©)

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 again…

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 that’s 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 you’re experiencing pain in your lifts or you just want to see your lifts go to the next level…

For many athletes, especially masters, it’s the truth…

I know. That’s a hard one to sit with.
Because you’re 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 🐢

Here’s the thing you’ll rarely hear...

Training harder isn’t the problem.
Training without a foundation is.

I’ve worked with athletes who were training 5, 6, even 10 sessions a week.
Strong. Committed. Frustrated.

Not because they weren’t 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 here’s what nobody wants to hear

The athletes I’ve 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 šŸ‘‡
ā€œThe least amount of lifts I’d ever done, the least amount of squats I’d ever done. And yet I’m getting stronger and moving weights better. What is happening?ā€

What was happening was simple.
We stopped adding stress her body couldn’t use.

And started building something it could.

Two things I want you to take from this today:
Ā 1ļøāƒ£ More is not always more. For masters athletes especially, it almost never is.
Ā 2ļøāƒ£ If your lifts have been stuck for months, the answer is almost never another hard session. It’s a smarter one.

Your body is not broken… yet (training stupid will result in stupid things happening)
It’s not your age.
It’s not your genetics.

It’s the approach. And that can change.

I’ll reach out personally and we’ll take a look at what’s going on. šŸ‘‡

had a heck of a day and it wasn’t luck.. here is a big change he had in training recently šŸ‘‡

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 cycle…

How he set his core/brace before getting into the lift.. if you watch his clean setup (3rd slide), you’ll 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, ā€œI feel so much more solid!ā€

One change in setup, HUGE change in results!

6 for 6, 2 State Records and 🄈🄈🄈 across the board!

Congrats Evan!! šŸ‘šŸ‘

Want to feel solid too?

She stopped doing more and started doing this, now she’s lifting pain free. šŸ‘‡

More sessions. More volume. More squats.
That was her answer to everything.

And yet... the pain kept showing up. The lifts stayed stuck.

Here’s the thing… it wasn’t a programming problem. It wasn’t a strength problem.

It was a core problem.

Now, I don’t 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:
🧱Hold solid off the floor
šŸ’ŖStay braced through the drive
😌 Relax as you transition under the bar
šŸ‹ļøā€ā™€ļø Fire again the moment you catch the weight

That’s not a static job.

That’s 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, she’s lifting at percentages she hadn’t touched in forever and she doesn’t 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.

It’s game time!!

Your back doesn’t have to hurt šŸ‘‡

I’ve been there.. training the Olympic lifts.. competing.. and boom šŸ’„

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 surgery…

I came back stronger…

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 they’re STILL NOT able to train weightlifting because the pain comes right back!

Sound familiar?

No one ever taught them how to
šŸ‘Øā€šŸ”§ Fix their imbalances
šŸ’Ŗ Strengthen with good motor control
šŸ… Get back to competition

I can’t thank enough for showing me the way. šŸ™šŸ«”

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..

The final touches are being finished. If you want access comment ā€œcoreā€ šŸ‘‡ below!
