Push-ups aren’t just for the boys💁🏻‍♀️

I’m sure we’ve all heard the term.“Girl push-up.” 🙄 It’s is used to refer to a modified push-up where you’re propped up on your knees instead of your toes. This phrase implies that “girl push-ups” are inferior. When the truth is FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION🎯

Every BODY is different. Some days I modify and some days I don’t. And I’ve been working out for years. Modifications serve an important purpose. They keep everybody safe and ensure that the workout is effective 💡

We need to stop implying that women are somehow weaker or less capable than men. That’s only fuels the myth that women don’t or can’t have upper body strength.

Secondly, it’s sending the message that modifications are somehow worse than the original move is and that is how injuries occur!

Both sexes are fully capable of doing a regular push-up, so long as they have the strength and mobility required to do so🤯

PROGRESS IS KEY!

Want to give those glutes the extra lovin they deserve?

Then you have to perfect that hip hinge!

The Hip Hinge is a fundamental movement pattern that’s essential for many exercises but one of the hardest movements to master😩

Often times on a single leg RDL people simply lower their body to the ground and keep their hips in place. This creates more hamstring activation which isn’t wrong butttt to get more bang for your buck as far as those glutes are concerned 👉🏽Here a few MUSTS when it comes to the hinge!

You must make sure you push your hips back!!! 🍑

Keep a flat back! If not, chances are your lower back is rounded and/or you are leaning too far forward❌ Your glutes don’t stand a chance!

Think about the muscle you are trying to work!! Don’t Rush. Take your time 😉

🚨Multi-planar movements are essential to functional strength training

Traditional gym exercises focus on muscles rather than movement, they only move one set of joints and muscles in one direction. Multiplanar exercises, however, spice up your workout by working many muscle groups together while moving your body in different directions.

The problem with only training one plane of movement (most commonly the sagittal plane) is that when we are exposed to movement in other planes, injuries can occur more easily. If that isn’t a good enough reason to do them here’s a few more.

✔️helps to create balance

✔️helps to prevent injury

✔️helps tendon and ligament strength

✔️helps improve overall performance

The more you know 💡

Wait for it…..

I’m sure you’re thinking why TF would I add a plyometric exercise at the end of the already dreaded Bulgarian😈? Welll yes I am addictive to the 🔥 but some things are just better together😏

Complex training combines a slow, heavy strength exercise with a light, fast explosive exercise. Preferably within the same superset and the same movement pattern (Bulgarians ——>Split jumps)

This form of training combines strength and power training.
A great way to spice up your training routine, helping to break those pain in the 🍑 plateaus, taking your performance and body composition to a new level🙌🏽

But the secret sauce🤤 to complex training lies in the ALL the benefits it has to offer👇🏽

*Better athletic performance
* Greater CNS (central nervous system) activation and neural drive
* Increased fat loss
* Lean mass gains
* Improved coordination and agility
* Higher metabolic rate
 
So whether you’re a competitive athlete, noncompetitive athlete or just an experienced gym goer🙋🏻‍♀️ adding contrast training into your routine is a must!

Happy lifting 💗
