22.01.2022 Do you stand proud & tall, or rounded and small? . We all know the one bloke at the gym who looks like a gorilla and winces as he grabs his shoulder after a heavy set of bench . One of the most common issues seen among avid gym goers is poor upper back posture and a lack of movement in the upper back and T-spine... . Funnily enough one of the biggest complaints of injury and pain comes from the shoulder joint . Instead of cranking on those shoulders and pulling and bands to get those shoulders looser you might try the following - Open up the T-spine through extension - Open up the T-spine through rotation . Get into a quadruped (all 4’s) position, lock the hips in and with arm at time, pull your elbow into your opposite hand and then push away reaching your elbow to the roof as you drive through the floor with the other . You might just get those shoulders feeling nice and buttery, at the very least you might have some better posture to be proud about .

11.01.2022 Render beings in your care competent . One of the biggest travesties in the fitness industry building dependence between coach and client . It’s like the overprotective mother who doesn’t let her child play with the other kids for fear of getting hurt... . The gym is and always will be one of our biggest teachers to building competency of the physical self that translates to the real world . We like to train majority of our clients within the semi-private system where the athlete can learn to navigate their training plan under coaching guidance . We want to build autonomy, independence and competency through strength training . We don’t want to hold their hand every step of the way, because then they’ll be looking for the hand with every new step they take . We are building more competent individuals through strength to compete with the world . Send us a DM to learn how you can improve your existence through strength training See more

09.01.2022 Do your hips feel tight as nuts? . A common complaint for the fellas is the feeling of tight hips, opposed to the warm buttery hip feeling we like to experience . A quick reminder from the legendary movie Happy Gilmore.. it’s all in the hips makes us consider the fact we want to be able to move and control the hips effectively... . Sometimes assessment may be necessary to determine what structures of the hip are the limiting factor, or contributing to feelings of tightness . Sometimes the culprit is proximal stability or control of the core musculature . Stacking the ribs over the pelvis and holding good alignment may relieve the feeling of tight hips altogether . At the very least, now we know with a good core position, that testing the hips may now result in finding out what the culprit is, now that we have a good foundation . If you were trying to stretch a band from points A to B, but point A is always moving and unstable.. how would we know were actually stretching at all? . Get the inside right and the outside will start to fall into place . Send us a DM to learn how you can improve your existence through strength training See more

03.01.2022 Reach for the sky . All the boys in the lifting world know that Monday is chest day and nothing else matters except a dirty chest pump . It could almost pass as gym religion and one of the lifting commandments... . However we often find that multiple days end of being chest day and most of the lifting is performed in the form of pressing with the upper body . This can lead to imbalances of the system which can lead to piss poor posture, rounding of the shoulders like a gorilla and even lead to injury . The use of pulling helps balance out the equation but the shoulder blades which the shoulders sit into, move in many directions and we need to satisfy loading all of the to balance out the system . Reaching is often a missing component of most gym programs and involves the shoulder blade wrapping around the ribs into upward rotation as we go into our over head positions . The landmine press is a great variation to reach and thinking about armpit following the hand as you press with long arms and lean into the movement . Keep your shoulders healthy and balanced and you will have much more longevity for the almighty chest day when it comes around .

01.01.2022 Get as skinny as possible . No this is not an advert for skinny tea or some detox juice cleanse fasting fad . This is a cue we use for our athletes to attain a good contraction of the internal core musculature... . This helps attain better alignment of the rib cage and diaphragm, over the pelvis and pelvic floor . Everything works from the inside out . So it makes sense for us in order to get the best performance based outcomes, we need to have the best alignment from the inside, out . This will give us a strong, stable core that we can more efficiently transfer forces through it . You cant shoot a cannon out of a canoe, as the old adage goes . If you want to lift big, you have to breathe big . Send us a DM to learn how you can improve your existence through strength training See more
