This was cool Squat University !

I’ve always cued clients to keep their elbow tucked against their ribs because it gives them a reference point to prevent moving the whole arm instead of rotating at the shoulder.

But I can see how this could still allow space to “cheat” the movement by using the mid-back, whereas keeping the elbow slightly in front of torso limits that movement.

Give it a try and let me know where you feel the difference!

Wanna build some k1ller arms?

🔖 You’re gonna want to save this one.

One of my favourite ways to train arms is with supersets; I pick two exercises to do back-to-back to get a great 🔥 burn!

I try to choose exercises that use the same or similar equipment so I can move quickly between the moves - this helps keep the blood pumping and saves time in the gym 💪🏼

SHOULDERS:
•Dumbbell Arnie Press x 8-12 reps
•Pendulum raise x 10-12 reps (note that 1 front + 1 side raise = 1 rep so go light!)

BICEPS:
•Incline Dumbbell curls x 8-10 reps
•Spider curls x 12-15 reps

TRICEPS:
•Barbell Skull crushers x10 reps
•Barbell close grip chest press x AMRAP (go until you burnout!)

Remember to transition QUICKLY between the exercises - as little rest as possible! 😮‍💨

Do 3-4 sets of each at the end of your upper body workout.

Give it a go and have a great workout!

She had the whole wide gym and chose to walk UNDER me 😩😂

But she did get over 700 steps during this workout 💁🏻‍♀️ I know because she counted. Out loud.

I love this tip from Alyssa Olenick, Ph.D. | Women’s Fitness, Strength & Running !

I’ve been trying to incorporate more polymeric training with my clients recently, but wasn’t sure how to regress it for folks who weren’t yet ready for full jumps.

“Stomps” bridge that gap! I can’t wait to program these into some workouts 🙌🏼

Lmk if I should keep sharing the things I’m learning here.

Ick #4: people forcing their cutie-patootie daughters to do videos with them 😜

But let’s chat about these fitness icks:

PROTEIN-EVERYTHING. Yes I’m a trainer and yes I want you to eat more protein, but I also can’t stand trying to healthify everything. Some foods are meant for fuel, and some are just for fun- let’s not force the fun foods to be something they’re not! All foods can fit in a balanced diet with a bit of planning.

AI-GENERATED WORKOUTS. I’ll be honest: I tried using AI to create workouts for me, and you know what? They sucked. It’s the same 20 moves all the time, they lack creativity and personality (my clients can always tell a “Tess” workout 😝) and weren’t balanced. They’re fine in a pinch but would not recommend if you have specific goals.

SKINNY-TOK. Like… how are we back here? If women only knew how hardddddd it is to build muscle, they wouldn’t be so eager to starve it away.

Anyway, those are mine 😂

What’s your current fitness ick? I KNOW you have one.
