The math ain’t mathing 📉

Three and a half hours in the gym and zero gains? Maybe it’s time to put the phone down, stop single-arm scrolling, and give those hours entirely to yourself. 📵💪

Yeah, we think we’ll go with rock every time 🪨

Today, we wear orange to remember, reflect and learn. 🧡

On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we take time to honour Survivors, remember the children who never made it home, and reflect on the ongoing work of reconciliation.

At MRU Recreation, we’re committed to creating spaces where Indigenous students, staff and community members feel welcomed, supported and a sense of belonging.

Today is an opportunity to listen, learn and continue the work beyond September 30.

The Daily Rep | Hang Clean Technique 🫧

Looking to build explosive power and athleticism? The hang clean is a top-tier movement, but dialing in your form is key to getting the most out of it and staying safe.

Keep these key cues in mind for your next lift:
1️⃣ Set your feet hip-width apart, drive your hips back, and keep your knees slightly bent.
2️⃣ Keep your back flat and your chest proud throughout the movement.
3️⃣ Start with the bar right above your knees and keep it close to your body the entire time.
4️⃣ Drive power from your hips and aim for full extension as you pull up.
5️⃣ Drop under the bar into a squat position to catch it, keeping your elbows high.

💡Pro tip: Focus on explosive hip drive rather than pulling with your arms. The force from your hips is what drives the bar up, while your arms just guide it into the catch!

Save this for your next power day, and hit that follow button for your healthy dose of fitness tips!
