24.01.2022 Use your Lats! Sounds simple, but understanding this concept and executing it is one of the single biggest take-aways to improving your training. The lats... arent just there for chin-ups, rows and back training...they play a massive role in other muscle groups training. The Lats might not be the primary mover in a lot of exercises but often they are the primary stabiliser! What this means is they are the key to setting you up in a stable position of mechanical advantage allowing you to perform the lift successfully. Resulting in increased range of motion and exercise efficiency, allowing you to lift more load, perform more reps, improved shoulder integrity and overall durability. Here are 4 Exercises that all involve the Lats a lot more than what you might initially think.. Here are some cues to go along with the videos to hopefully help you understand what I mean 1Barbell Shoulder Press On the lowering phase think of as if your performing a Lat Pulldown, keeping your elbows tucked under the bar on the way down. Suddenly in the bottom position youve created a shelf for the bar through your lats with a heap of tension ready to drive the bar back up. Rather than being slack and loose as a goose 2Barbell Romanian Deadlift I think of the lats during this movement as being the brick wall which isnt going to move at all. They keep your neutral spine position, keep the bar on your legs and allow you to maximise hip extension. 3 BB Floor Press Slide your shoulders into your back pocket activating your lats and then think of drawing your chest up to the ceiling by pulling through your lats on the lowering phase. This allows you to bias the pecs as the muscle being trained and cover the maximal amount of chest tissue, all whilst keeping shoulder integrity. 4Overhead Rope Extension To maximise output on the long head of your triceps you want to create stability around the shoulder joint though your lats allowing increased output on your triceps. Give it a shot! Couldnt put videos up with photo so check out Instagram for videos on technique @coach_willgrant

22.01.2022 Ive gotten some flack for this graphic in the past, but my opinion on this topic still remains consistent with the information the graphic presents. It may se...em counterintuitive, but MOST people in pain dont really care so much about the things in the red circle. Of course this doesnt apply to everyone, and some people will absolutely love to know and will benefit from knowing more about neuroscience and such. However, people in pain are much more often we are interested in the information in the green circle.

21.01.2022 Scoliosis... Functional or Structural? According to my mentor, the late Philip Greenman, DO, A functional scoliosis is a postural adaptation to an imbalance in... ones base of support. Most of us think of the feet as our only base of support, but what about the sacral base and occipitoatlantal joints? When unlevel, the brains vestibular and visual systems must make necessary adjustments via head-righting and postural reflexes. Prolonged imbalances in these bases of support may trigger ascending or descending postural compensations via protective muscle spasm. We now know there is asymmetry in muscle function for everyone with scoliosis. More specifically, there is uneven strength in trunk rotation. This asymmetry affects ones posture, appearance, pain tolerance, and in more severe cases, the ability of ones lungs to function to their full capacity Because scoliosis is a three-dimensional problem, always look for patterns. For example, when observing the standing client from the front, notice how Please CLICK HERE to read more and view the scoliosis technique video: https://erikdalton.com//functional-or-structural-scoliosi/ I will be discussing functional and structural scoliosis in my September 5th presentation at Indiana State University.thanks, Erik Dalton

18.01.2022 Its been a year since I arrived in the US . For the last 8 months , Ive been fortunate enough to be working as a Sports Therapist at California Strength in San Ramon . Since July Ive worked twice weekly with Josh Garnett , formerly of the 49ers , and Eric Swoope , Indianapolis Colts. As we know with Aussie Rules , if you dont make the big time , you still play and get paid in sub leagues . Not so NFL players . These 2 guys were waived by their teams and spent July th...ru December , strength & conditioning training at Cal Strength . So they spent 6 months staying at optimal physical & mental fitness, without a team . Waiting for an Offensive Lineman , or Tight End to get injured , and their agent to call , saying theyve got a shot . Tough gig ! Josh has since been picked up by Detroit. Im also currently working with College footballers , invited to the NFL Draft Combine , at the end of February . The 2 month California Strength Draft Combine Program prepares these guys for improving on speed , agility and strength Draft indicators .

15.01.2022 The Db Floor Press _ A great exercise variation for pec development and also a great teaching tool for learning how to create and keep stability on the eccentri...c component of a horizontal push movement. _ A lot of people struggle with the concept of pulling the weight down through their lats and upper back on a bench press which long term often leads to shoulder impingement amongst other problems. _ Taking a step back sometimes from full range pressing such as the bench press and shortening the Range of motion such as in the db floor press can really help to learn how to maintain tightness though the Lats and let persistent shoulder issues calm down. _ Once this is achieved full ROM pressing can be reincorporated hopefully with a better understanding of keeping a much more stable position and integrity of the shoulder joint particularly in the bottom range of pressing movements. _ A lot of problems can be fixed by learning correct movement and load management. _ I really believe you shouldnt just come to accept injuries or persistent pain as a part of your training. _ Optimal results will occur when you can train harder more consistently over a long period of time.

I’m pictured here recently after working on Melbourne Demons young guns Luke Jackson & Trent Rivers . I should have left a few Dry Needles in them as they’re going up against my Saints today !

10.01.2022 Compound and Isolation Movements Both compound and Isolation movements have there advantages for long term body composition improvements 1Compound mov...ements are great for long term continual progression. Examples include squat, deadlifts, bench press, overhead pressing and all there variations. These movements are very complex and require a large degree of technical expertise and practice to become successful at. Initially due to the complexity and skill requirements the individuals adaptations are characterised by neural adaptations such as more efficient recruitment of motor units and not necessarily muscle growth. However the potential for long term increases in muscle growth and strength are much greater than isolation movements. 2Isolation movements are great for a multitude of factors including for beginners, injury prevention/ management as well as for applying intensification techniques to. Isolation movements generally put the body in a much more stable environment than compound movements and sometimes this can be great starting point for beginners who dont yet have the neuromuscular control or motor skill to deal with DBs or a Barbell. From an injury standpoint isolating a weak muscle in a stable environment may serve as a great starting point in return to a sport or training. In terms of application of intensification techniques in the context of hypertrophy. It is much more effective to use more stable isolation movements which allow high levels of output. For example using a Leg extension for drop set or forced reps is a far superior option than a Deadlift. Wrapping it all up Compound movements should be prioritised in most individuals programming and performance in these movements should be tracked to ensure progression. Isolation movements can serve as a great tool to enhance performance in compound movements, increase muscle size, rehabilitation, correcting muscle imbalances and a whole lot of other things. Neither is better than the other. The way you use them, when you use them and why depending on the individual client and their specific context is key. See more

07.01.2022 Progressive overload Not all progressive overload is seen on your program sheet weekly loads.. Sometimes adding more load , increasing your reps or increa...sing your volume isnt the most viable option to progressively overload at that point in time. It can be enough to progressively overload by having better technique at the same loads that you performed previously Weve all been there where we have increased loads at the expense of sacrificing technique or Range of motion just for the sake of increasing our loads compared to our previous session.. Its a bit of a catch 22- sometimes this is necessary to bust through plateaus, but there is also the other side of the argument that it is cheating progress to a certain extent. I dont think one is wrong or right- just depends on the individual and their training history, goals and current state. Main take- away: Progressive overload can be achieved through many methods including improving technique. This will also have the advantages quite possibly of... Decreasing injury risk Increasing tension on the target muscle Increased range of motion

07.01.2022 For more than four decades, the United States has experienced an Olympic medal drought in weightlifting. This year, one man hopes to break this losing streak a...nd bring victory to America. Amateur weightlifter turned national record holder, Wes Kitts, plans to compete in the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. With the guidance of lifting coach, Dave Spitz, Wes embarked on a four-year journey shaping him into the Olympic contender he is today. With the 2020 Olympics postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Wes, and team USA, will have to adapt and dial in training for one of the most unique Olympics in history. Wes uses pride for his country and dedication to a lost love one to push the boundaries of athleticism and fuel his dream to become a champion on the worlds largest stage.

07.01.2022 1 Using bands The variety is endless and the tension you can create is a great way to still illicit a stimulus. Stick to higher rep ranges in general and r...emember bands are also great for overloading exercises making them more challenging. This is because towards the top of the repetition or concentric phase the band resistance increases and provides a strong external resistance to push or pull against. Try with a movement like push ups or banded dB presses and youll know what I mean! Its also important to remember that due to load not being as high as your normal training in the gym with machines and free weights, the stimulus to fatigue ratio is most likely lower with bands. What this means is it would be beneficial to increase volume, to therefore increase the total stimulus of your workouts and your recoverability should not suffer a great deal. Here are some of my favourite applications and exercises for band use so far during lock down! Push ups too easy? Do banded push ups No dbs for lateral raises? Do banded lateral raises. No bar for rowing? Use a band and a broomstick No Dbs for rowing? Do single arm kneeling banded rows or banded lat pull ins Struggling to train triceps? Do banded overhead tricep extensions or banded pushdowns No dbs or bb for curls? Do single arm standing banded curls Banded upright rows and facepulls are great for delts Banded straight arm pulldowns for back Banded cable flys for chest also work well Not shown but great for overloading an exercise... Banded Db Pressing and Banded 1 arm db rowing Theres a hell of a lot more than this you can do and how you program these banded exercises in the session will ultimately lead to how effective you find it But I hope this touches the surface and gives you some options! Next up - Using Partial reps and 1 1/4s and 1 1/2s when only able to train with lighter loads and bodyweight during lockdown . For videos go to @coach_willgrant on Instagram as I cant upload multiple videos on this platform. Cheers!

04.01.2022 Thoughts on Abdominal Training _ Bicycle crunches, toe touches, sit ups for 100s of reps are out... _ Hollow holds, dead bugs, bridging, ab roll outs, palloff ...presses and all their variations are in. _ Why??? _ Because they have the potential to transfer over to your training, improving performance and reducing your chance or injury. 1The stronger and more stable you can stay through your trunk (inc abdominals) the better position you will hold in all your compound movements. 2A better position means youll be able to stay in a position of mechanical advantage to lift greater loads =progressive overload 3Your ability to brace and keep your trunk strong (through your abdominals largely) will maintain your spine integrity and prevent a lot of niggles and injuries.. _ If you can learn how to properly engage your abdominals to brace your trunk ...it can be a GAME CHANGER to your technique and progress in the gym! _ Will follow this up with more demos.
