🏋️ONE THING YOU’RE NOT DOING…🏋️

But probably should. Especially if you lift heavy.

RESET YOUR POSITION.

Sitting down for extended periods of time day after day can cause an anterior pelvic tilt.

If you can move in and out of this position easily, great!

If not, these exercises are great to help the ribcage & pelvis stack on top of each other to create a much more stable base on which to load weight.

Add these to the beginning of your warm up & tell me you don’t PR every single lift 🤪

... Read moreAchieving optimal strength training results requires more than just lifting heavy weights; it involves proper body mechanics. Many lifters struggle with anterior pelvic tilt due to prolonged sitting, which can hinder performance and increase injury risk. To correct this, incorporate specific warm-up exercises targeting the ribcage and pelvis alignment. Effective mobility drills can help restore a neutral spine position, paving the way for a solid and stable base during lifts. Prioritize dynamic stretches and core stabilization movements to engage your muscles dynamically before lifting. Additionally, continually monitoring your posture throughout your day can foster greater awareness of your body’s mechanics. Small adjustments in daily activities can cumulatively improve your lifting technique and performance. Remember, consistency in these practices can lead to personal records in no time! Stay tuned for more valuable insights on strength training and posture optimization.

NUMBER ONE thing I wish I knew as a gym beginner
The wrong question to be asking more experienced lifters or people with nice physiques is “What is your workout routine?” Or “What do you do on leg/arm/back/(whatever) days?” This is because you will be met with a lot of redundancy. Most people actually do the same exact handful of “basic” worko

STOP doing cardio before you lift✋🏽
A “toned body” is a muscular body; you have to have muscle mass and a lower body fat percentage to have visible definition on your body. And you’re not going to build muscle efficiently and effectively without prioritizing weightlifting. Cardio does have its benefits, but it shouldn’t be taki
