So incredibly proud of my baby birds Annabel and Lauren both PRing their deadlifts today. Next time you need to move a dead body, you know who to call.
-
Thank you both for all the early mornings. Set after set, you both stuck with it for long enough to see your hard work pay off! I am one proud coach!
Way to go Asher! Big PR deadlift for 365 lbs. The man shows up every session at 455am and he proves that “lack of time” is a lame excuse for not hitting your goals. Thanks for the dedication Asher!

Which one of these squat setups is correct? Hint: look at the lower back
-
“Chest up” is one of my pet peeves when it comes to coaching the squat. Lifting the chest, flaring your ribs, and sticking your butt out turns off your core and forces a good deal of tension into your lower back.
-
Take a video or picture of your next squat from the side. Your angle will be different than Sarah’s but take a look at the lower back and see if you can point the belt buckle forward (Right) rather than down (left) before you lower into the squat. Feel the tension come into your core and out of your back. You’ll save your spine.

Tension below S1 + tension above L5 = more space at the vertebral joint

It’s more than just stretching as will tell you

If you’ve got back pain, let’s fix it!

Here Brian performs the z press with dumbbells. He’s got a tight thoracic spine (and so do most of us) so we have trouble presenting an upright posture when asked to press overhead.
-
This is a great warmup drill to prepare not only your shoulders, but your spine, hips and core for pressing overhead. It’s also a great exercise on its own so if you never done it, give it a whirl next time you’re working your shoulders!

Paused deadlifts with
-
If you’re having trouble feeling the deadlift in your glutes, it may be in your interest to lighten up the weight and add a pause just below the knees.
-
When an athlete moves without the pause they often don’t know which muscle they worked or where they’re supposed to be feeling it.
-
With the pause, typically an athlete will feel the glutes stay under tension and form a mental model of how their body is supposed to be positioned for that to happen.
-
Try it as a warmup the next time you deadlift.
