💪 Some days it's just about getting it done. Today's workout started with an unenthusiastic walk down to the basement gym, but Mrs Yessmann and I powered through a decent session. 💪

🏋️ The struggle is real right now for all of us. Trainers aren't immune to wanting to sit around and not workout. I got into training because I loved fitness. I stuck with personal training because helping people makes me happy. I truly love my clients and the joy it brings me to guide them through their individual training experiences.
You may be struggling to get your workouts in right now too, and that's ok. Just know that you are not alone (and that you always feel better after getting a pump). 🏋️

Please feel free to reach out with any questions regarding PT or if you just need a shoulder to lean on or an open ear during this challenging time.
Stay well friends. 💪

I've definitely been feeling extra thankful lately that Mrs Yessmann and I invested in this space last year. We're not currently seeing any of our clients here, but soon!

Small, sustainable changes. That's the short answer to how I did it and the same goes for most people who lose weight long term. It's not easy though, and that's why most people who try and do it on their own fail and give up.

I've currently got room in my schedule for two motivated people. If you've been thinking about making a change for a while and need help with that first step, or maybe you have already been trying and aren't getting anywhere, let's talk. It's easier with support. It's easier with a plan.

Clients:
Eating healthy is expensive and takes so much time.

Me:
This meal is about 700 calories (could easily be 2 meals for most people), cost around $3.00-$4.00 and in under an hour, I made enough for about 4 days worth of meals. Not to mention, it tastes amazing.

Big shout-out to my amazing client Larissa today! She has been training with me for a little over 5 months now and has been killing it! Larissa has been super consistent with 3 workouts per week and it's showing, as she's getting stronger every workout.

💪Shown in the video is her second set of 8 hip thrusts @ 315lbs with a pause at the top and we had done 3 warm-up/ramp-up sets prior to these sets💪

Going heavy on this exercise is great, but not if you sacrifice form and function. I always check in after each set to ensure my clients are predominantly feeling their glutes working and not having that feeling overshadowed by over activation of their lumbar spine or hamstrings. Generally, we can tell that this is going to be the case based on form staying tight - ribs are down, chin tucked, pevlis is posteriorly tilting etc, but it's still good to check in and get regular feedback 😁

Give these a try during your next workout or on your next back day and let me know what you think

🔥UPPER BACK / CORE / HIP / GLUTE BLAST!🔥

The Half-Kneeling Single Arm High Row (or Pulldown) is one of my favorite go-to exercises. Why?...I thought you'd never ask 😉

1. The combination of the half kneeling position and pulling with one arm means that you're going to get a hell of a lot of lumbo-pelvic stability and anti-rotation work out of this. Glutes, abs, obliques and more work like crazy to keep your lower half still.
💪
2. The angle of pull allows for a great stretch at the top and (imo) the best contraction at the bottom.
💪
3. Cables are great, as they provide constant tension throughout the movement.

Just finished a Hydrotherapy/Contrast Bath session at Pivotal Physiotherapy High Performance Center in the Brewery District and I feel amazing. It's a bit of a shock the first time you get into that cold tub, but it's not long before you're over into the nice warm one. You go back and forth between the two tubs several times and when it's over, you feel fantastic. I literally feel like I have new (or at least refurbished 😉) legs! I see Craig Wilson there and at the ARC by Pivotal location in Evolve Strength Downtown.

(from Pivotal's website)
Hydrotherapy – contrast baths
Hot water immersion results in vasodilation (enlarging of blood vessels) and a resultant delivery of nutrients including oxygen to the sore extremity. Cold-water immersion results in the opposite; vasoconstriction (shrinking of blood vessels) and a resultant removal of metabolic waste from the sore extremity. It is suggested that cold-water immersion blunts the inflammatory response to injured tissue, reducing oedema, haematoma formation, and pain. Alternating between the two results in a pumping effect with the net effect of a quicker recovery time.

*ROTATIONAL CORE STABILITY*
💪🏋️💪
***
Exercise:
BEAR CRAWL SHOULDER TAPS
****
It's not uncommon to see a wide variety of rotational core exercises being performed in most gyms. Things like cable chops (at least how most perform them) and horizontal medicine ball throws etc are fairly popular. This is awesome, because this gets our bodies moving in the transverse (think: rotational) plane. They are great for developing and generating strength and power in this plane, but we also need to consider training to Resist the rotational forces our bodies experience.
***
Bear Crawl Shoulder Taps are one of my favorite anti-rotational core exercises. They look easy, but most people who try them find them to be brutally hard when performed strictly. Go ahead and try them, I'll wait ⏳
Leave a comment to let me know how you did (and if you think you did great, try again with a water bottle resting across your lower back 😉)

Check out the video for some additional tips on how to get the most out of this exercise. 😊

Seated Cable Pulldowns

(repost with better video quality)
💪🏋️💪
These are easily one of my favorite back exercises, particularly the single arm version shown here. I find that this variation allows for the best stretch and contraction of the lats, while also requiring more lateral core stability than the two arm version.
