no weightlifting pain today!!!!!! 🤩

didn’t squat on sunday bc of my hip so did that today while the guys did split squats. aside from the usual shoulder pain (this is also getting better with time and banded strengthening exercises) everything felt great! and was able to move some actual weight which felt amazing, for the longest time I was just squatting 85lbs while everything recovered

I did have to laugh at our gym bench today tho - pre, post, protein shake, water, and most importantly… motrin 😂 this is what lifting in your late 20s/early 30s looks like. great workout nonetheless 😊

Adductor Exercises at Home: how using middle split exercises can help elevate back pain and increase squat depth | Flow Motion Fitness

Adductor mobility training (a.k.a strengthening end ranges) has been a tool I have used for increasing squat depth and decreasing back pain in my clients for years. Not only do these exercises carryover to some cool skills like Chinese split holdsand a better middle split, but they have been reported to help with squat depth and reduced back pain. The following article and video consists of…

Hamstring tightness and Squat ROM

Many people equate poor squat range of motion (not being able to get deep in the squat) with hamstring tightness. While tight hamstrings aren’t a good thing, tight hamstrings are NOT the reason why you can’t get deep in a squat. The hamstrings are a biarticulate muscle; they cross both the hip and the knee joint (with the exception of the short head of the biceps femoris). This means that when you are descending in a squat, one end of the hamstrings muscle is lengthening while the other end of the hamstrings is shortening. This ends up being little change in net length. So stretching the hamstrings isn’t going to do much, if anything, for your squat depth.

Improve Your Squat Depth

https://facebook.com/jpfitnesspro

“ Some people just aren't built to squat: long femurs, short tibia, short torso, etc. To help remedy this *some* try these two things: abducting your femurs (widening your stance) and increasing the dorsiflexion of your ankles through stretching/good dynamic warm ups. Doing static stretches for these two things SEPARATE from your workout, and doing good dynamic warm ups BEFORE your leg workouts targeting these areas should help a ton. And if you have the money, buying some squat shoes with a slight heel raise can help with this as well. “

From lower-back pain to badassery, part IV: badassery

From lower-back pain to badassery, part IV: badassery

Now you have down the unsexy work. Nobody really feels like hitting clams or side bridges, but a lot of people badly need it. As a final post for this series, let’s talk badassery. Your back is rehabbed. You no longer feel pain or very little of it, and you feel ready to hit the big weights and the big movements. I understand. However, you don’t want to make my own mistakes. I injured my back…
