Akodu Performance

Massive congratulations to my client Mario on a 40 pound PR. His goal originally was to simply squat 315. Why that’s such a common goal I don’t know, but he stuck with the program and scheduled deloads when needed. I’m super proud to witness him squat 405 this week, and I cannot wait to see him smash his next goal.

My reaction pretty much the whole session. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Although grateful, having long femurs truly discourages you when it comes to squatting. To some it comes easy, to some not so quite. One thing I won’t do, is simply give up. My goal isn’t to squat a specific number, but to continuously progress and stay healthy.

There’s nothing more functional than the loaded carry. Have you ever experienced carrying a ton of grocery bags, having to take a p**s, and you forget your keys in the car? This is for you.

Perfectly executed reverse lunges by my client Brian. If you’re looking to develop strong quads, glutes and hamstrings, I suggest put a little more focus on simple compound movements. ✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾

My client performing the front backward lunge super setting seated wide pulls. Never stop moving 👊🏾

When we’re in our 30s we begin to suffer muscle loss (sarcopenia) from being sedentary. Typically anywhere between 3-7 pounds every decade. The benefits to strength training are endless. Weight loss, healthy bone mass, retaining muscle and so on. Whether you’re at home, at the gym, or even at work. Stay active and make strength (resistance) training a priority.

Here’s hitting 275x3x5 on his pull day. Currently we’re dropping the frequency and increasing the volume to sneak in a more intense session.

I rarely give my clients exercises that I have yet to do myself. So respect goes to my client for killing the . Tried this machine finally, and it’s no joke.

Much respect to my client Brian, getting 30lb 3RM with the TB Deadlift. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Enjoying the last of our training sessions, before leaves me for the east coast. I had to punish her with some rack pulls while also finishing the session with 100 KB swings.

A little conditioning after a great vacation. Going to be doing a lot more rope jumping and sprints this summer.

Incredible but bitter sweet session today. my longest lasting client, is getting ready to leave for New York. I’m praying she gets fired on her first day and comes back to Cali lol. Just kidding. I’m hoping all works well and you dominate like you always do. 💪🏾
