How could you not go on a vacation without having a true authentic self care spa day. Great find by Lynne Hudgins- Buscemi. She’s put together a fantastic trip with a great group of friends. DM her for info on the spa in Cancun or when you book your next trip, she can do it all. I’d name the place if I could but it was incredible. Remember to take care of yourselves in and outside the gym. Mentality™

Building leg strength is very important for running faster, but there’s a key distinction: you don’t necessarily need the biggest or strongest legs in the gym. You need legs that can produce force quickly, absorb impact efficiently, and repeatedly propel you forward without losing speed.

Some (not all) leg exercises runners can do with the Landmine

UNILATERAL STRENGTH
Bulgarian split squats, step-ups and reverse lunges. These develop single-leg strength and control that are relevant to running.

POSTERIOR-CHAIN DEVELOPMENT
Romanian deadlifts! Single Leg & Both! These target the glutes and hamstrings that contribute to propulsion and control.

CALF & ANJKLE STENGTH
Standing calf raises help develop the muscles responsible for producing and controlling force around the ankle.

LARGE MUSCLE MOVEMENTS
Front Squats, with varying stance. Hack Squats, Sumo’s & Deficit Sumo’s

The key takeaway: Stronger legs can help you run faster, but the goal isn’t simply to build bigger muscles. It’s to develop strength and power that transfer to running faster.

10 things beginners should know before lifting heavy for chest
Learn the movement before adding weight.

1)Your first goal is mastering the bench press—not seeing how much you can put on the bar. This isn’t a 1RM

2)Don’t discredit push-ups.
They teach you to control your body, brace your core, and keep your shoulders stable before stacking plates.

3)Try dumbbells before going heavy with a barbell.
Dumbbells can help you learn how to control each side independently and find a comfortable pressing path. Stabilizer muscles play a big part here.

4)Use the Smith machine to learn your pressing position.
It can provide more stability while you learn your setup, grip, bar path and range of motion. REMEMBER we want long term results don’t be distracted by people that say “THE SMITH MACHINE ISNT A REAL BENCH PRESS IT DOESNT COUNT”.
Use cables or resistance bands to learn tension.

6)Light cable/band presses and fly variations can help you learn what it feels like to actually contract your chest instead of simply moving weight. This is TUT basics 101

7)Don’t skip your warm-up sets.
Your first sets should prepare you for the heavier work. We also want to prevent injury not cause a new one or agitate an old one.

8)Set your shoulders before you press.
Think shoulder blades back and down, chest up, feet planted and core tight. Your setup matters before the bar even moves. We don’t wanna see any Golden Gate Bridge’s from arching our back off the bench.

9)Control the weight on the way down.
Don’t let gravity do the work. A controlled eccentric teaches you how to own the movement and maintain position, aka negatives.

10)Heavy doesn’t mean maximal.
Beginners don’t need to test a 1-rep max. Choose a weight you can move with solid technique and leave a little in the tank.
Progress slowly and consistently.

Add weight only when your form, range of motion and control are there. If you do not reach the number of reps for that set IT IS NOT A FAILED SET. Don’t beat yourself up over. You didn’t go backwards because of it.

After seeing the post by Ross Dickerson I got creative and found some other ways to use the cage/rack not as a crutch but as equipment to make other exercises more challenging. You may have seen them or ya may not have. Give these a shot, try something different, think outside the box. Let’s talk, let’s train, LETS GO!!!! 💪🙌

Couple variations for biceps, including different attachments, cable machines, free weights & all the grips that come with each one. Everyone has their opinion on what to do, their favorite bicep exercise, what absolutely is the best thing to do for them. How many reps, weight, reps and rest is right. Thats absolutely ok, but there’s multiple ways to target a muscle & whatever different grips, equipment, variations, ideas, modifications or twists ya wanna put on it is why you can always learn more in this fitness world.
1st - MAG gave me more of a hammer grip
2nd - Wide grip on a lat pull down attachment took away stress on the wrists
3rd - Straight/flat grip increased workload on the biceps even tho it was on an EZ- bar.

Rowing Machines w/o the rowing. Plenty of other options/exercises to do with this machine but threw together a quick 20 min circuit before lifting. Ya know you’re getting people curious when ya have people at the gym having the same facial expression like “wtf is he doing”. Shout out to 1st phorm on the hat
https://1stphorm.com/s4nr4um2pjf6b.

The order is simple, start on one side of the rower > complete set > straddle the rower > do first exercise facing the other way. Exercises with feet anchored to the seat pad is pretty self explanatory. 3 sets 20 reps try for 15 seconds rest @ most.
