Your back pain isn’t random.

Three exercises show up again and again in our assessments — and two of them are probably in your warm-up.

1️⃣ Sit-ups and crunches — every rep folds your spine to end range under load. Dead bugs and planks train the same abs without the wear.

2️⃣ Weighted Russian twists — your lower back rotates about 13°. Flexion plus loaded rotation is the combination most linked to disc injury. Learn to resist the twist instead: Pallof press, suitcase carries.

3️⃣ Straight-leg toe touches — locked knees drive the load into your lumbar spine instead of your hamstrings.

To be clear: these aren’t banned forever. If your back is healthy, they’re mostly fine. If your back already hurts, these are the three we see aggravating it most — and the fix is rarely rest. It’s loading the right tissue in the right position.

That’s the part you can’t self-diagnose from a Instagram. If your back has been flaring up for more than a few weeks, book a physio assessment and we’ll help find out what the right path is for you.

Our Youth Strength and Conditioning Coach Mario Ramirez - Swim & Strength Coach 🇨🇦 will now be coaching classes at 6th street! 💪🏾 🏋🏾‍♂️
__________

Born in Mexico, Mario moved to Canada at 16 to see how far swimming could take him — competing for the Guelph Gryphons and Marlins, representing Mexico at two Olympic Trials cycles, and coaching with the Marlins toward the end of his studies.

Over 8+ years, Mario has worked at every level of competitive swimming, from developing young athletes to coaching Olympic Trials athletes, and brings a background in strength and conditioning shaped by his own competitive career.

Three daily habits you can start today. Free of charge. 🏋🏾‍♂️

Most people chase a new programme when the basics are the problem.
__________

• Sleep — 7 to 9 hours. Across 77 studies, sleep loss cut performance by 7.6%. Strength, endurance, time to exhaustion. All of it.

• Water — stay under 2% body-mass loss. 400 to 800 ml per hour of training. This one changes today’s session, not next month’s.

• Protein — 1.6 g per kg, spread across the day. 20 to 40 g every few hours beats one big hit at dinner.
__________

Don’t do all three if it’ll be too much. Pick the one you’re worst at, hold it for two weeks, then add the next.

Our coaches and registered physios are in the building at both Burnaby locations if you want help with any performance enhancing education.

🔴 BIG NEWS: DRIFTWOOD IS NOW AN OFFICIAL HYROX AFFILIATE 🔴

It’s official — DWA × HYROX.

SCHEDULE WILL BE UP JULY 31st!

If you haven’t come across it yet:

HYROX is a fitness race. 8 × 1km runs, with one functional station between each

— ski, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, row, farmers carry, sandbag lunges, and 100 wall balls.

Same course, every city, every time. No handstand walks, no muscle-ups, no qualification needed. Over 98% of people who start it, finish it.

Our first HYROX training block starts Sunday, August 2.

Thursdays & Sundays, at both locations. It’s a 20-week build across three blocks:

• Block 1 (8 wks) — base & engine
• Block 2 (8 wks) — build & compromised running
• Block 3 (4 wks) — peak & taper

All pointed at one date:

HYROX Vancouver, December 18–20 at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

Cost: if you’re on an unlimited membership or a 10-pack, HYROX classes are included — no extra charge. Any other membership, it’s a $20/month add-on.

A few things worth saying up front:

✅ You do NOT need to sign up for a race to join. It’s excellent training either way.

✅ You do NOT need to be a runner. Twenty weeks is plenty of time.

✅ Total beginners are genuinely welcome — most of this first block will be first-timers.

✅ Doubles and 4-person relay divisions exist, so grab a partner or a team.
