If your Overhead Press turns into a Standing Incline Chest Press… you’re not training shoulders anymore
That big arch is your lower back taking over which means less shoulder work and more risk than reward
Quick Fix:
Ribs down
Glutes tight
Core braced
If you’re still struggling with the arch it’s a mobility issue. Consider implementing some mobility drills for your T-Spine, Shoulders and Lats ✅

Fix your Pulldowns so you can grow your Lats!
Scapular control is the key to pulling movements and Lat pulldown are no different!
Pulling with momentum/arms/shoulders will still work your back to an extent. But you’re depriving yourself of so much effectiveness by doing that. Shoulders down, pull with the back ✅
Back pain? Don’t stop Deadlifting - fix your form!
Deadlifts are one of, if not the best exercise for back strength - and one of the main reasons for people getting back pain is that it’s not strong!
Creation tension -> push -> finish strong
Rows aren’t about how fast you can pull — they’re about how well you can control every inch of the movement.
Avoid forcing the weight up by shrugging the shoulders and using momentum. Instead, slow it down and feel your back engage!
Less momentum, more intention. Make every rep count ✅
Your setup might be killing your Deadlift!
If your Deadlift feels weak or has hit a plateau, it’s likely not a strength issue. Using the cues in this video will go a long way to improving your lift. The bar will move smoother, stay closer and you’ll start to see the numbers fly up! ✅
Challenge: count how many times I said reinforce 😂
Let me know which exercises you’d like to know more about!
Improve your Bench! 🏋️♂️
- Driving your feet into the floor creates force from the ground up, improving stability on the bench and allows you to generate more power off the chest
- Keeping the wrists stacked over your forearms allows you to load directly through the joints into the bar and less strain on wrists over time
- Scapular retraction (pulling your shoulder blades down and back) before and during the lift creates a solid base to press from. Most importantly it protects your shoulders by keeping them in a stronger and safer position!
These are just some of the cues I use with my clients to boost their strength on the bench ✅
