Alex Smith' Physical Performance Corrective Exercise Specalist

First working set of front squats on the weekend went super well but was hard ! 😓🏋🏽‍♂️ With the help of some motivation! 🙌🏼
-
1 set of 5 at 107.5kg followed by 3 sets of 5 at 97.5
-
Next week will be 2 sets of 5 at 107.5kg followed by 2 sets of 5 at 97.5kg and so on
-
Few things I do to get ready before my working sets are
1. Mobilise full body
2. Stretch out back
3. Activate glutes, core and hamstrings

How many of you really pull using your back? 🤔
-
-
Engaging the scapula before you pull and using your back instead of your arms will target your upper back properly.
-
-
Obviously being the best exercise for back development and upper body strength you want to execute the movement perfectly 👌🏽

💪🏽

Being a life coach brings me such joy, changing people aspects in life mentally and physically brings me such a high 🤙🏽

Still managing to hit the reps even with the lowered carbs... Will test out some 1 rep maxes in the coming weeks and try 140kg 🤙🏽

These are starting to become my favourite exercise 😃
-
Since I havnt been able to squat I've got my deadlift form on point and want to do these more than ever 😃
-
Road to 200kg very soon 🙏🏽

Front squats and crying baby 😅
-
Getting my strength back with the squats after having some knee issues which is 95% back to where it should be 👍🏽
-
Making great progression with these and sticking to the diet plan to get leaner 👍🏽

-

The technique of my deadlifts over the past few months has improved massively!
-
From suffering with a knee injury, not being able to squat or deadlift without pain was depressing but managed to fix the issue by changing technique and getting regular massages 👌🏽

-

Progression on the bench press
-
No need to push towards failure every session,
-
Some sessions use for technique
-
Some sessions use the strength
-
Some sessions try beat the reps from the previous sessions
-
Some sessions try get the same reps on a slightly heavier weight
-
Some sessions use the same weight but reduce the tempo in the way down
-
There’s many ways to progress on your weight lifting

Afroman just warming up some kicks 🦵🏽
-
I do enjoy my weekly kickboxing with 🙏🏽

One of my favourite glute and hamstrings exercises has to be the back extension… if you perform it right you should be able to get a stretch of the hamstrings on the way down and a contraction of the glute and hamstring towards to top 👌🏽
