B-STANCE VARIATIONS!
These are a great tool target muscular imbalances and to bias one side.
Targeting muscular imbalances not only work as great rehab but also as a great preventative measure against injury.
Here coach Mel performs a B -stance Romanian deadlift with the toe of the back foot inline with the heel of the front foot .
The back leg will offers support and stability as you load the front leg.
Perform a set of reps on your weaker side first before switching to the opposite leg.
Much love
Coach Mel and Irena 💙💙

INTRA-ABDOMINAL PRESSURE!
This is a really important skill to learn when performing compound movements.
The idea is to take a big breath and fill your stomach with air. This creates intra-abdominal pressure and keeps the spine rigid under heavy weight.
Ps- make sure you hold your breath through the entire rep!
And if you were ever wondering this is why our “belly’s look funny” when we lift 😂
Feel free to message if you have any questions!
Much love always
Coach Mel and Irena 💙💙

4 favourite deadlift cues!
1. Pull the slack out of the bar.
2. Draw your shoulder blades down towards your back pockets to engage your lat muscles.
3. Take a big breath into your stomach to brace your core creating intra abdominal pressure.
4. Stretch your knees to stand. May sound overly simple but this cue can help create leg drive, using the quads to push the weight rather than using the lower back to pull the weight off the floor.
Hope these help!
With love
Irena 💙💙

DB or barbell bench press cues:
1. Pull shoulder blades back and down, keep them planted into the bench.
2. Push from the chest on an angle slightly back towards your mouth.
3. Press feet heavy into the floor.
Ps- keep in mind you don’t have to arch as much as I do or at all however this is a comfortable position for me.
Why would I arch my back anyways?
Because this best helps me maintain the position where my shoulder blades are pulled back and down- with this technique my shoulders are in the most stable position which makes it the safest position to lift the most weight!
Happy Friday!
Much love
