💥Chest focus with upper body mobility • This movement exemplifies the popular “pec deck” but with a highly noticeable added mobility aspect that runs from the scapula all the way through the ulna and radius (forearm). You’ll even get the midsection firing from that front rack position • Throw it in on any upper body day to get a big bang for your buck . . . . . #workout #primal #primalmethod #la #balance #personaltrainer #performance #training #mobility #balance #move #strong #fitness #functional #lift #shoulders #chest #jointhealth #fit #controlyourself #vibram #stability #nature #earth #connected #bodybuilding #sport #athlete #strength (at Muscle Mechanics)

The goal is not to find the next cool exercise, but to FEEL more in order to understand your body • Attentively examine, listen and adapt accordingly to the areas that need the most care . . . . . #primal #fitness #movement #grounding #barefoot #feel #sungazing #earth #sun #fit #primalmethod #strong #move #awareness #love #insideout #strength #health #selfcare #workout #meditation #be #still #explore

🐴HORSE STANCE🐴 A power position that I've been playing around with a lot lately and it's provided some great feedback • Place your feet roughly 3ft apart with toss slightly outward. Lower down without letting your knees cave in (heavy external rotation of the hip). Be conscious of vertical spine and neutral pelvis • Then Explore . . . . . . #primal #power #movement #foundation #workout #strong #roots #balance #hips #fitness #explore #body #performance #primalmethod #control #fit #health #personaltrainer #la #vibram #yoga #vibramfivefingers @vibram @vibramfivefingers

Always a fan of the barbell squat, but ever since incorporating more Primal movements, the traditional squat hasn't been my go to • Try lateral loading to give the hips and side body a new look. The goal is not depth but just to add a smooth sway from side to side looking for imbalances and instability @vibramfivefingers . . . . . #primal #movement #lateral #strength #hips #squat #fit #fitness #training #barbell #workout #legday #health #gym #different #primalmethod #la #personaltrainer #vibram #health (at Muscle Mechanics)

I started rock climbing recently because it's Primal 😳 and it's been interesting to recognize the comparisons in movement from my gym training • My brain has been loving all the new angles, odd planes and isometric holds • Head over to the link in my profile to see the new tip of the week • @peteradstahl 📷 . . . . . #primal #fitness #movement #la #personaltrainer #climbing #rockclimbing #strength #lift #training #performance #fit #health #earth #primalmethod #vibram #vibramfivefingers

I thought my Hip CARs were getting better until I did them from the side lying position😳 • Although incredible challenging, I love this set up because it keeps the hips/torso honest • Most of my clients I work with tend to spill the hips away from the working leg and this position hand cuffs the body . . . . . #controlyourself #frc #hips #mobility #strengthtraining #fitness #primalmethod #primal #la #functionalrangeconditioning #quality #movement #doanything #legday #vibram @vibramfuroshikishoes @vibram (at Muscle Mechanics)

Road to the Splits • I'm a big believer that if the hips can't hit front and middle splits then they are missing the opportunity to be fully functioning. If you're missing range, youre missing the potential for newly acquired muscle tissue • In the video I'm finding my end range front split and then applying knee extension by contracting my glute/hamstring to create more space on my back leg. Then applying plantar/dorsi flexion of front ankle by contracting the anterior tibia and soleus . . . . . . #primal #primalmethod #fit #balance #legday #control #strong #sport #nature #gym #fitness #performance #healthy #stability #hips #training #splits #workout #la #movement #mobility #vibram @vibram @vibramfivefingers
