Josh has been training at Showtime for almost 3 years and has been a lifelong competitive runner. Prior to joining Showtime, Josh had little strength training experience and was having pain anytime he ran over 3 miles. Recently he ran the 1-mile race in 6:27 (his best time in over 20 years. He also ran the 800-meter in 2:52 prior to the mile.

Iโ€™d say that first and foremost it made me better all around. My arms rarely become fatigued, which always used to happen especially later in a training run or race. I also now have a kick at the end of a race which is something I never had before.

Iโ€™d say that I run about the same amount as I did before, maybe a little less and I have not seen a decline in my performance, only improvement. In general, I really have none of the aches and pains that I used to have before starting Met-Con.

My cholesterol levels declined to a healthy state for the first time in years. Iโ€™ve always struggled with this. All of my health markers have improved in general, and continue to do so. I was always intimidated by weight lifting growing up, especially as a former cross country/track runner. So, to be able to see the results I have gotten so far has given me a lot of confidence.

Here is a side plank variation we like to use with membersโ€”the side plank iso row.

This works the muscles of the upper back while stabilizing the core.

If you think itโ€™s easy, give it a shot for 20-30 seconds on each side.

If youโ€™re not using the Deadlift in your strength training plan, youโ€™re leaving power on the table.

Few exercises can produce full body power like the Deadlift.

It also helps to build the upper back muscles to protect the shoulders and increase grip and forearm strength so you can throw harder safer.

The sumo version shown here is great for improving hip mobility and strengthening the adductor muscles to help with stabilization.

Here is Ashley hitting a PR of 200lbs x 5 a few weeks ago!

If you feel like you want to strength train, but feel like you can't due to an injury and mobility/flexibility restriction; then you're not alone. It's a common fear for people. Our coaches work each day to help people train what is trainable in pursuit of their goals.

Lincoln struggles currently to squat a barbell due to a limitation, but we can use the dip belt and still a huge benefit from the exercise.

This allows him to build the muscles of the hips and legs safely and progressively.

If you have let any injury hold you back, reach out to coaches to learn how to modify a training plan that works for you.

Core Training

A lot of people talk about it then train the core using nothing but sit ups and planks with hips on the ground

The body is a dynamic structure so we have to train it to transfer power effectively through the entire kinetic chain

This is a great drill because you can see where the weak links are at different parts of the movement to help identify the actual issues instead of simply saying CORE
