Three common SkiErg mistakes can make each pull less effective. Small technique changes can help you get more out of every stroke.

Happy Birthday, Alan! 🎉💪

Alan has been a member of Ballatore Strength for 8 years, consistently showing up, getting stronger, and challenging himself to improve. What makes him so inspiring is his willingness to keep learning, trying new exercises, and stepping outside his comfort zone.

Alan is a motivation to all of us at the gym and a great example of what’s possible when you make strength, movement, and continuous improvement a priority. Thanks for showing us what 67 can look like, Alan!

A tighter upper back gives the bar a more stable place to sit. Take the narrowest grip your shoulder mobility allows, then think about “grabbing the bar with your back” to keep your upper back engaged.

If you lose that tension at the bottom, the bar can shift up your back toward your neck and make the squat feel less stable. Find a grip that lets you stay tight throughout the whole rep.

A busy schedule—Sean still makes time to train twice a week.

He’s noticed the difference in his strength and flexibility, and he feels more powerful when he runs.

Strength training isn’t just about lifting more. It’s an investment in the life you want to keep living.

Can you spot the difference between these two reps?

On the first rep, Pat rushes her setup and yanks the bar off the floor. On the second, she takes a moment to pull the slack out of the bar before lifting.

That small pause helps her feel the bar get heavy in her hands, build tension through her whole body, and get set before the pull begins. When you rush and yank, the bar can drift away from you and pull you out of position, making the lift harder and less consistent.

At 75, Pat is still getting stronger—and we love seeing it. When she started with us, she was squatting to a high box using just her body weight. Now she’s squatting to full depth with a bar on her back.

That strength carries into everyday life, too. On her trip to Africa, she felt confident using squat toilets and standing back up on her own—and handling her bag in the overhead bin without needing help.

Pat brings so much energy and enthusiasm to every workout. We’re grateful to have her in the gym and proud of how far she’s come!

A warm-up doesn’t need to be long or complicated. The goal is simple: move better, feel better, and be prepared for the work ahead.

The more I train, the older I get, and the more older adults I coach, the more I realize that a lot of what people blame on aging is often heavily influenced by inactivity.

Yes, aging changes the body. But so does spending years not strength training, not doing cardio, not jumping, not moving explosively, and slowly removing sports and physical challenges from your life.

Strength, power, conditioning, balance, and athleticism all respond to training. If we stop asking our bodies to do those things, we shouldn’t be surprised when we lose the ability to do them.

For Jeanne, getting stronger has changed what everyday life feels like. She’s had less hip pain, more energy, and the strength to take care of things around her property—like mowing and lifting fallen limbs—without needing to rely on someone else.

One of the most common rowing mistakes is bending the knees too early on the recovery. When that happens, the knees get in the way of the handle, posture starts to collapse, and the stroke becomes inefficient.

A simple way to clean it up is to slow the recovery down and think: arms, body, knees. Extend the arms first, hinge forward through the hips, pause for a second, then let the knees bend as you slide slowly toward the catch. This drill helps reinforce better posture and a smoother stroke.
