What most people struggle with in the push up is not the upper body strength to push all the way up. But the core strength to push through to the lock out with integrity.

Elevate your push-ups as high as necessary to maintain even hip and shoulder movement from bottom to top. As your strength grows, lower the elevation.

If you train nothing else for strength, train your midsection and train your grip.

Consistency = Progress.

Make the time.

1 Push-up is better than 0. One training day a week beats zero. Keep trying.

You got this.

Movement Monday: Quadruped Spinal CARs (Controlled Articular Rotations)

Think of CARs as kind of like brushing your teeth but for your joints. They help maintain full range of motion and keep your joints healthy.
Movement increases the flow of nutrients to joints so these are important to do daily.

For Quad Spinal CARs:
1️⃣Set up on all fours with hands under shoulders and knees under hips.

2️⃣Starting from the tailbone (aka bottom of your spine) slowly, bone by bone if you can, round your spine up towards the ceiling.

3️⃣When you get to your upper back, your head and neck should flex down and your chin should reach to your chest.

4️⃣Take a deep breath in this top position, filling your lungs to get a bigger stretch. Then, again starting from the tail bone, pull your spine slowly back down to the start position with your head up and eyes looking across the room again. Your back should be as low to the ground as you can get it without pain.

5️⃣Repeat for at least 5 reps.

6️⃣Repeat daily or as often as possible.

Movement Monday: The Skater Squat

When working towards a solid pistol squat, the skater squat can be a useful step towards building the top level strength needed to master a full one leg squat.

The goal with any single leg movement is always to focus on control. Only perform the exercise in the range of motion you can complete with excellent technique.

Movement Monday: The Double Kettlebell Clean and Press.

Sometimes life is demanding and the amount of time we have to train is minimal.

During these times, we recommend minimalist style training sessions using “Big Bang for your buck” total body exercises.

If you have good overhead mobility, the Double Kettlebell Clean and Press is a powerful exercise combination for a minimalist program.

Let’s say you only have 10-20 minutes to train 3x per week. Plus a few minutes for a quick dynamic warm up (we’d recommend 2 sets of: 5 reps of light goblet squats, and 10 kettlebell halos for a very quick warm up)

On Monday, choose a medium pair of bells. Set a clock for 20 minutes and perform 3-5 reps every other minute for 20 minutes.

On Wednesday, choose a heavy pair of bells. Set a clock for 10 minutes and perform 1 clean and press every minute for those 10 minutes.

On Friday, choose a light to medium-light pair of bells. Set your clock for 20 minutes again. This time perform as many quality sets of 5-6 reps as possible in that 20 minute time frame.

Stick with this for 4-6 weeks. We’re confident you’ll appreciate the results.

Shoot us a DM if you have any questions.

Why Everyone Needs Core Training
Stuart McGill

So now we can answer the question – what is the core? Proximal stiffness occurs between the ball and socket joints – ie. the hips and shoulders. It involves all of the muscles in the torso. They function primarily to stop motion. They should be trained this way. The core also involves the muscles that cross the ball and socket joints that have distal connections – psoas, the gluteals, latissimus, pecs, etc.

This week on Movement Monday we’re highlighting the Split Squat.

Split squats are a quad/knee 🦵🏻 dominant exercise that builds strength primarily in the glutes and quadriceps, but also works the calves and helps build single leg stability.

1️⃣For the standard split squat, it is best to start in a half kneeling position with one knee down and the opposite heel about a foot’s length in front of the down knee. We recommend performing them (and most exercises) barefoot or in socks.

2️⃣Push into your front foot 🦶🏻and the ball of your rear foot until your leading leg is locked out and your front quad flexes. Aim to have that leading leg performing the majority of the pushing work.

3️⃣On the decent, bend your back knee and try to pull straight down back into the starting position with your rear knee under your the same side hip, and that hip under your shoulder (as shown).

4️⃣If it’s your first day performing split squats, we suggest performing 2-3 sets of 10 reps per side with bodyweight only. A week later repeat 1 set of 10 reps and if you’re feeling stronger add some weight for 2 more sets of 5.

When training for General Physical Preparedness (fitness training for all sports/activities) you want to choose complex exercises that have big carryover to other activities and sports.

Some examples: kettlebell swings and snatches, pull-ups, carrying heavy weights for distance, split squats, single leg deadlifts, push presses, etc.
