"SOUND ON !"

Deadlifts are one of my favourite exercises but often people shy away from heavy deadlifts because they're afraid of injury.

In this video I talk through *briefly... upper back/ lat engagement.

In my opinion lack of proper upper back engagement is a major cause of back rounding**
By engaging not only the core (common cue for Deadlifts) but also the lats and upper back area , a lot of strain can be taken away from the lumbar spine (L1 - L5).

**although a rounded back doesn't necessarily lead to back injury ... this is a more complicated subject that I'll try and cover another time , in short unconditioned athletes aren't necessarily strong enough in a rounded position to handle the load safely.

Super proud of Seldas improvement in technique and stamina in our pad work sessions. *keep smashing it

Remember to celebrate more than just your pb lifts ... improving technique in a skill is just as rewarding and as good a goal as any 🤌👏

Taking the group through the Deadlift mechanics, and highlighting one of the common mistakes (particularly in Olympic lifters/ crossfiters)

Setting up like a clean or Sn**ch ..
is setting up for failure 🤷‍♂️

Deadlift ... like a Deadlift 👍



Thanks for the footage

🙃 Suffer from lower back pain?

😢Afraid to lift heavy due to back pain in the past ?

💪Want to strengthen your lower back ?

If yes to any of the below then incorporate this movement into your accessories or superset with a core exercise for a nice finisher.

All you need is two boxes and a band to tie together for safety, a high table at home might work too.

*Keep your legs together and straight

*With your hips just hanging off the boxes , raise your legs as high as you can, arching your back slightly at the top of the rep.

*Really squeeze your glutes for maximum effect)

I suggest 8-15 reps for 3-4 sets 👍

Who's responsible for your health ... Or lack thereof ?

YOU !

Don't forget that , a coach can only advise / guide , they can't; make decisions for you , tell you how your body feels, force you to turn up to the gym , go to bed on time for you, or make sensible diet choices.

All of that is in your hands , if you want to get stronger , fitter , healthier, mentally physically or both ... Then you need to remember the buck stops at you.

A coach can help / can guide / can educate / can to some degree motivate ... Bit cannot make your decisions for you !

For the longest time I'd hold myself responsible for clients not achieving goals or credit myself too much for those who did, it's only recently I've started to understand that it all comes down to one thing ....

As and Adult , you are wholy responsible for your health (Don't forget that)

*And for fellow coaches / fitness instructors take some of the pressure of yourself , your role is that of guidance only

Strict Ring Muscle Up 👌

Possibly one of the most impressive muscle ups skills (with exception of the strict bar muscle up)

Many think this skill is all about strength but in reality it's more about technique and full body tension.

At the time of this video my max strict pull ups was 12ish ... And in this video I manage 5 strict ring Muscle ups, that's almost 1 muscle up for every 2 pull ups.

Technique matters !

If you attend the workshop we will break the components of this movement down so you can master the ring muscle up 🙌

(If you're interested in the workshop get in touch ... 11th December at )

80Kg power clean + push jerk as part of a 10:00 Emom.

1+2
3+4
5+6
7+8
9+10

Bodyweight currently at 64.9kg 😬 lighter than I would like, so I'll be upping my carbs and hopefully a bit more bodyweight will make the bigger weights go up too 💪

*Video is real time followed by slow Mo , cool to see the lift in slow Mo , as I can spot the small errors that I need to work on for next time 👌
