Kaizen Athletic Performance

Exercises: this is currently my favorite Gluth based exercise. It helps to target the gluteus maximus in particular and helps to create stability in the sacroiliac joint area. Study show that 95% of folks with low back discomfort have some sort of SI joint dysfunction and I’ve had tremendous success with my clientele base using this exercise to reduce pain and help create more stability in the hips. Easy to perform and requires only some heavy bands. These new material bands are my favorites, better than any rubber based bands. If you’re in need of a new set of bands, find them on my website the recommended product section. You can access my website from my Linktree in my profile

Daily Snippet: Don’t overdo your workouts! Depending on your goals, sport, etc., it’s important to make sure you’re timing your rest breaks and know roughly how long each set should take you in order to keep your training time in the gym to 60 minutes or less. Going over the 60 minute mark can increase cortisol production in the body, reducing recovery, over fatiguing the body and more. If you’re a strongman and lifting/competing is your sport, then by all means, train like your sport.

Daily Snippet: Do NOT allow yourself to fall out of consistency. Consistency, whether I be exercising at a similar time each day, performing a series of morning rituals to get your day started off right, or to go to bed at the same time every night. Consistency is wha creates habits and allows you to thrive in your endeavors. Keep working at being consistent.

Daily Snippet: Do NOT neglect your elasticity! Bouncing regularly, jumping regularly can help keep your fascial system springy and capable. By age 30 we lose up to 2% of our power a year! Make sure you keep this system springy and healthy as long as you can by regularly performing pogo jumps from varying angles and movement patterns!

Daily Snippet: Do NOT neglect exercises just because you dislike them. These are often the exercises we need the most and tend to avoid for various reasons. Make sure you have a well rounded exercise routine and do not neglect your core, your pull-ups, your cardio, balance, etc.

Beef Organ supplement update: I’ve been take. Organic Grass Fed Beef Organ complex pills for a week now. Slightly increased energy and slightly greater pumps during some workouts.

Daily Snippet: Stop ego lifting! Use proper mechanics when targeting specific body parts. If you can’t perform a repetition properly, other things stay taking over. Use ideal form until you no longer can. Keep in mind that the body and brain tend to remember the mechanics performed on the last two repetitions the most. Don’t ingrain sh*tty patterns!

Daily Snippet: Stop amping yourself up for your heavy gym sets! When you go above and beyond your natural, unstimulated reserves, it has huge repercussions on your ability to heal. Forcing your body to do more than it can without overstimulation causes the body to require more healing time in order to reproduce similar results in the future. Often times this can lead to requiring so much extra rest that your body actually will stop improving and getting stronger. Find out your body’s ability to push weight over time, heal efficiently, and program accordingly. Overstimulated reps should only be performed in competition.

Daily Snippet: Don’t overstimulate yourself! Relationships, work, pets, family, anything can create stress in your life. It’s important to consider all of your stressors, not simply the ones you create in your training. Even doing beneficial things such as cold plunges and sauna can negatively impact the body if your other stressors are too high. Make sure you’re sleeping, eating well and taking some occasional rest days.

Testing out some grass-fed beef organ pills! I’ve been really excited to try some and see how they help with my health, energy and sleep. I’ll be trying these out for three months plus and including regular updates along the way to let you know how they’re affecting me. I did email the company after receiving my batch to double check on quality testing and production practices since the product shipped from China. Everything seems legitimate.

Daily Snippet: Do not slack on your sleep game! Sleeping is the most important thing we can do for our bodies. 7+ hours a night minimum. Consistency is key! Go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time every morning in order to help reset your clock. Number 2, make sure you get sunlight for up to 15 minutes for maximum benefit, first thing in the morning.
