63 year old Nancy working on her presses this morning.

She had never stepped foot into a gym until earlier this year and is currently making exceptional progress in her strength and how she feels day to day.

Too many people believe aches, weakness, and loss of independence are inevitable with age.

They’re not.

With the right strength program, you can:

✅ Build bone density
✅ Improve balance & coordination
✅ Stay independent & active
✅ Add strength that carries over to real life

We coach people 55+ in a safe, small-group environment that scales to your ability while pushing you toward progress.

Power Couple Carson and Sue!

Carson is 86. Sue is 70.

They came in to get stronger and they’ve been putting in work since last summer.

Now they move better, feel better, and have more confidence tackling everything in life (they manhandle their grandkids now)

Barbell training isn’t just for young dudes trying to deadlift 500lbs

It’s for anyone who refuses to get weaker with age.

You don’t have to settle for decline.

You can train for a better future!

Technique Tuesday 🛠️

Want to make your squats FLY this week?

So.. you may be wondering why the I'm grabbing this fine gentleman's haunches.

Well... He's learning Hip Drive.

Many people think of squats being powered by the legs, specifically the quads.

But the hip extensors (glutes, hamstrings, adductors) are the strongest muscle group we have. Your body knows this and we are going to use it to our advantage.

In the squat, we want to initiate the movement out of the bottom by forcing our hip to extend, which in combination with the legs extending creates a ton of force.

This is what the fella above is learning.

This way, we can transfer the force effectively from the floor to the bar, using our strongest muscles to overcome the weight on our back.

No matter what squat variation you do: low bar, high bar, front squats, SSB it is helpful to think of the weight of the bar being IN YOUR HIPS not on your back.

This way, as you squat down and drive back up you are envisioning using your hips to move the load.

In the bottom, think about driving your hips straight up to move the bar.

I've seen people add a ton of weight to their squat by utilizing this concept alone.

Changing one concept on your lifts in the gym can make a huge difference in the effectiveness of your program.

Give it a go, and let me know how it works.
