Years of powerlifting and this is the mistake I see every single lifter make. 😮💨
Squats, bench, deadlifts = all in one plane of motion.
But real life doesn’t move in a straight line, so the second you twist, step sideways, or reach, your body isn’t ready.
That’s where the nagging pain comes from. And that’s why so many lifters walk around tight, restricted, and beat up.
The good thing? The fix isn’t complicated.
All you need to do is start training in the frontal and transverse planes by adding variety such as:
➡️ Barbell side bends & rotations
➡️ Cossack squats, and
➡️ Mixed grip chin ups
If your body can move well in all three planes, you significantly reduce injury risk and become a more robust lifter (not just a stronger one).
If you want help getting more plane-diverse training into your current program, DM me and I’ll help you figure it out. 💬
