Always picks exercises that meet your goals or help you to further hit your goals. If your goal is to get better at the #squat, pick exercises that MIMIC it as much as possible. One of my favorite #squatvariations is the #gobletsquat. Some benefits of the Goblet Squat include extra core work, as you're expected to #braceyourcore, just like you would with the barbell variation itself. Using dumbbells, regardless of what #reprange you utilize, forces your body to stabilize itself. Think holding up a heavy dumbbell in front of your chest is easy the first few times around? Also, with extra stability comes extra tension, as dumbbell exercises are more known as muscle builders than barbells. Position yourself the way you would in a barbell squat with your feet shoulder width apart, #scapula retracted and your head NEUTRAL. Pause at the bottom of your last rep for a good two or more seconds for extra #timeundertension. The added eccentricity WILL increase the size of those #quads! Here's 70x5x5. I'm available for #oneononepersonaltraining at the ICONIC @strongandshapely. I'm also available for #onlinepersonaltraining via Zoom and Skype as well as #athomepersonaltraining.

There's no other way to put it, but this caption above is nothing short of stupid. Want to know what's worse than not going to the gym at all? Try going to the gym without a plan of attack. Try spending years in gym just spinning your tires because you're either not eating right, not training in mannor that appropriately fits your goals, or even both. Hell, after that I'd rather not hit the gym at all. Anyone who tells you this is either a casual gym goer or someone who generally means well but is absolutely clueless. Hey it happens. Don't fall for the trap. If you're new to training, in the #northjersey area, and you're looking for someone to guide you through the nonsense and help you reach your goals, then look no further. I'll help you reach your goals with a training AND #nutrition plan tailored to YOUR individual needs and goals. I'm available now for #oneononepersonaltraining at @strongandshapely, #onlinecoaching or I can come to you.

Great third session tonight with @emillia_esther! She's really gett the hang of #dumbbellstifflegdeadlifts, as she's working here on squeezing her #glutes. Don't let the back work so hard in any #deadlift variation. This is a move meant to hit your #posteriorchain, your back is secondary. #unitedinstrength #igfitness #fullbodystrength #fullbodytraining #hamstrings #dumbbells #fitness #nasmcertified #nasmcpt #nasm #iamacpt #oneononepersonaltraining #certifiedpersonaltrainer #beginnerstrengthtraining #intermediatestrengthtraining #letstraintogether @nasm_fitness https://www.instagram.com/p/BybqlVujVF0/?igshid=hx64n3sp6b26

Working on #backextensions with @emillia_esther last night. Always make sure that your back is mid line with the rest of your body during the #concentric portion of the move. This also prepared her for the rest of her routine, which requires a cons amount of #corestrength, which this move does provide. Feel free to drop me a line regarding #injuryprevention exercises or #basicstrengthtraining at any time. I'm also available for #oneononepersonaltraining as well as #onlinepersonaltraining.

Training after getting over a sinus headache is not cool. Happens to me around this time. All the time. But I made no excuses and, while this workout took a little longer than it should've thanks to it, I still got it done. I talk from time to time about the importance of #legdrive in #compoundmovements and today was proof that it helps. If it wasn't for me SQUEEZING the life out of my #glutes and #quads I don't think I would hit that last rep on this 110lb #overheadpress. First time on a LONG time that I hit three reps! This ended with #20repsquats at 185lbs. It wasn't easy, but it's not supposed to be. It's a very brutal exercise, but that exactly why it's so effective. I'm available for #onlinepersonaltraining and #oneononepersonaltraining if you want me to help you get #strong.

As a #certifiedpersonaltrainer, and especially as someone who doesn't necessarily have the most impressive physique or lifts, no truer words can be spoken. A real mentor isn't measured in their paper abilities, but rather the IMPACT left on everyone listening. Think about that. Do what you do because you genuinely want to make an impact and change a life, even if it's just one. #unitedinstrength #igfitness #squatuniversity #nasmcertified #nasmcpt #nasm #onlinepersonaltraining #oneononepersonaltraining #beginnerstrengthtraining #nevergiveup #nevergivein #ificandoitsocanyou #iamacpt #Repost @squat_university (@get_repost) ・・・ Today we live in a world where if you have 6-pack abs, the ability to lift massive weight, or an Instagram filled with half-naked shots of yourself, you are automatically labeled as a 'fitness expert'. While these coaches may get a ton of likes & follows on social media, this way of branding has unfortunately cost many people time & $$. Everyone now has a 'special' meal plan & generic online coaching for a hefty price!!🥊 . It's time we change this. REAL coaches help YOU grow as a person - THEY AREN'T there to take all your money.👍🏼 . I’m not saying there aren’t experts that are crazy strong or have sculpted bodies or that making money is a bad thing for a coach. Unfortunately the average person can’t tell the difference. Coaches NEED TO be spending more time on developing sound periodization and improving their coaching skills. Get OUT of the business of training and start LEARNING to coach. In the end THIS IS HOW OUR CLIENTS/ATHLETES TRULY GET BETTER.🙌🏼 _____________________________________ This is the 180th #SquatUclub eligible post.

Due to my increasingly hectic schedule, I've had to reduce my training schedule from three days to two. This actually has offered me a few benefits which I'm sure I discussed in the past. This allows for more recovery time, allows for more things to be done outside the gym and it encourages you to MAXIMIZE your training time. What you see here is strictly the product of running a three day training week on a two day schedule. I'd done something similar two and a half years ago, when I pulled 410 and squatted 350 for the first time. And that's the key: The extra rest time allows you to work HARDER. No excuses. I used to be skin and bones. I was Skeletor. But by training equally as smart as I train hard, I'm now the thickest I've ever been while continuously dropping #bodyfat. If I can do it, you definitely can. And if you want to defy the odds yourself, come to @strongandshapely and simply ask for me. Or you can even contact me here. I'm available for #oneononepersonaltraining there now! I'm also available, if that doesn't work, for #athomepersonaltrainong or even #onlinepersonaltraining via Zoom. Three ways to reach me, which one will you choose?

So I was finally able to hit ten reps on this insane exercise (although I did just eight in this video). One to I can offer, that I didn't offer on my last post regarding the #glutehamraise, is to make sure that ONLY the balls of your feet are on the metal plate, leaving your ankles in a state of #dorsiflexion. This will aid I'm ensure your legs slide on the pad, allowing for a smooth path between #flexion and #extension, without overworking the #lowerback. I hope to use apply either tension using a #resistanceband or weight using a #dumbbell real soon. Here's my last set of bodyweightx3x10,10,8 supersetted with #ropestraightarmpulldowns. I imagine this could be a great tool for #bodybuilders to use in their own training, yet I've yet to hear if any do. If any of you bodybuilders reading do, in fact, implement the #ghr into your training please drop a comment below and let me know how you approach it as well as if you find it to be as effective for #bodybuilding as #powerlifters find it to be for what they do.

Good morning and here's another #techniquetip for ol' #coachbabyface (follow this hashtag, the current look won't last!)! Upon performing any #pulldownvariation, always make sure to brace, just as you'd do with any big #compoundexercise. Breath into your belly before your pull, exhale once your chosen bar is at the top of your chest, and inhale again before your raise the bar back to its starting point. The #spinalstability will ensure that you don't arch your #lowerback, especially as the weight gets heavier. Here's a smooth, controlled 100x10 using the #magbar. I'm available for #oneononepersonaltraining at the ICONIC @strongandshapely. I'm also available for #athomepersonaltraining as well as #onlinepersonaltraining via Zoom.

I finally understand why this is considered a #lowerbodypullup. Here are some benefits of the #glutehamraise: * With proper form this will ABSOLUTELY isloate your #hamstrings probably more than most #posteriorchain #isolationexercises. *Over time these will build up the size on your hamstrings OVERALL as well as the #glutes. This is essentially thanks to the demands placed on the #lowerbody. Think the #saidprinciple. *The ability to strengthen and build up your hamstrings using this WILL carry over to a stronger, and far more STABLE #squat, #deadlift and probably even your #benchpress. Make sure to TAKE YOUR TIME with these. Do not rush these. My hips are a bit bent but this will go away the more I practice it. Make sure you stretch your hamstrings enough before ascending back up and like with most exercises, be sure to BRACE. By the way, major thanks goes to @joelt800 for his critique on this.

Just bought this two days ago over at @atoznutritionandsmoothies. As you should know by now, the main difference between #wheyprotein and #wheyproteinisolate is that, with the ISLOATE, the #protein is filtered even more to reduce the amount of #sugar and #lactose until all that's left is just the protein. Now take that concept and imagine if the isloate was now hydrolyzed on top of that, breaking down the #proteinchains, thus making the protein easier to digest, and you have this here #proteinpowder by @musclesportusa. Featuring a combination of the aforementioned proteins, along with #mediumchaintriglycerides, #lcarnitine, and less than a gram of sugar, this powder promises to metabolize #fat. I shall be trying this on Monday with my #breakfastsmoothie. Has anyone here given this a go before? What were your thoughts? Tell me in the comments and let's talk!
