I don’t train to be a bodybuilder. I train because I enjoy being active, playing sports, and feeling my best. Whether I’m at home or on vacation, taking care of my health is part of my lifestyle. I still enjoy good food and make great memories, but staying active is part of who I am, and not because I have to, but because I choose to.

Most people trying to train their lats don’t actually feel their lats.

One of the biggest reasons:
⬇️ Shrugging the shoulders up during rope pullovers. And being rounded.

When the shoulders keep climbing toward the ears, the upper traps start taking over and the lat loses a clean line of pull.

Instead:
• Slight lean
• Keep the neck relaxed
• Gently set the shoulders down
• Drive from the lat, not the hands

Think:
“Pull from the armpit/back pocket area”
—not from the traps.

The goal isn’t to aggressively jam the shoulders down.
It’s creating a better position for the lats to actually shorten and contract.

A lot of people notice the movement instantly feels less ambiguous once they stop shrugging and learn how to squeeze from the lat itself.

If your hips are tight, your lower back pays for it.

Sitting all day tightens your hips—especially your inner thighs.
By pushing your knees out wide, you open up your hips and create space to hinge forward properly instead of rounding your lower back.
Start with a slight pelvic tilt → hinge forward → reach under
Think long spine, not slouched

This isn’t just a stretch. Stay active.
Light core brace, control the movement, and move from your hips. Contract the lat area , stiffen arm let it scrape your inner thighs as you reach.

Benefits:
• Opens tight hips (adductors)
• Reduces lower back stiffness
• Improves posture
• Teaches proper hip hinge
• Builds control—not just flexibility

Tips:
• Knees out wide
• Slight pelvic tilt to start
• Don’t round your back
• Move slow and controlled
2–3 sets of 8–10 reps.

Stretching alone won’t fix your mobility.

Stretching alone usually isn’t enough to improve range of motion long-term. Your body gains mobility when it feels strong and safe in that position. That means you need both stretching and strength training through the range of motion. When we strengthen muscles in deeper positions and gradually challenge that range, the nervous system allows the joint to move further and control it safely.

Throwback to a couple months or so, when my client joined the HYROX Compitition, Proud of my client for attending 💪

When she first came to me, she couldn’t hang from a bar…
Chin-ups hurt.
Shoulder presses hurt.
Her lower back and hips were constantly flared up from an old car accident.

Today — years later — she just finished HYROX and her relay team placed **4th in the Women’s 40+ division**.

She can now lift her own bodyweight… and even add weight to it.

This is what consistent strength training does.
Not quick fixes.
Not 8-week challenges.

Rebuilding joints.
Rebuilding confidence.
Rebuilding a body you trust again.

Age isn’t the limitation.
Injuries aren’t a life sentence.

Th right training changes everything.

There's more power in the photo on the right! I was a relatively fast runner at the age of 39, but I was not maximizing my strength and power because I was neglecting weights. Weightlifting has not only helped my running, but my most recent bone scan showed that my bone density was in the top percentile for my age!

My client who struggled with chronic shoulder pain, lower back pain, and hip pain from a car accident decades ago. Who was not able to hang or do a chin up or a shoulder press without pain when she started. After being consistent for years now she is able to lift herself up with added weights and many more.
