If your legs ain’t twerking, you ain’t workin.

Like a bad habit, we’re addicted to and data tracking for our athletes. We’ve employed new data sensor tracking to add more measurable insights to power output in our clients.

Box Squats - a great way to overload the CNS and build lower body power effectively. As you lower yourself to the box, your core and muscles should stay engaged even after your butt touches the box. The spine needs to remain stacked and avoid hitting the box hard as it will increase the possibility of injury to your sacrum.

Remember each rep should be an exact mirror of each rep.

Purpose: Assess static balance and postural stability. It is commonly used for many things but is especially useful for determining a baseline of balance and posture. Lower score indicate better balance control.

Error’s:
Opens eyes
Lifts hands of hips
Steps, stumbles, or falls
Hips flex or move any more then 30 degrees
Lifts foot or heel
Out of position for more then 5s

Test sequence is: Double leg, Single leg non-dominant, and tandem stance with dominant foot in front.
Then repeated again on foam surface, 20s for each position and a max of 10 errors per position.

Exercise: Quadruped Around The World

This exercise can be used at any level of training to strengthen and coordinate the shoulders’ ability to rotate and stabilize the shoulder girdle.

Start with 2-3 sets of 3-5 reps increasing the sets and reps each week to ensure there is progressive overload, additionally each side must be rotated towards to prevent imbalances.

If you are struggling with any shoulder pain, restrictions, clicks, pops or previous dislocations do not attempt these as they could increase a risk of injury. Instead, start with less intense and lighter loads of different exercises to strengthen the shoulder girdle which can then transfer to the quadruped shoulder circles.

Foot speed is not straight line speed, but is important for all sports. The neural response time to shift in and out of different movements, translates directly to an athletes ability to react in game time situations.

If you’re an athlete or have a youth athlete trying to get to that next level, send us an email and give us a try! We’ve been training athletes of all types and levels for almost 2 decades!

Client Highlight! Meet Mark!

Mark came to us last May looking for a gym to help him gain and change his . For 9-months we slowly progressed his workouts, carefully monitored his sleep/nutrition/activity, and he also worked with a licensed nutritionist to dial in his macros and proper portioning.

During his time at , Mark lost over 50lbs, lost 11% body fat, and hit a PR of 300lb on the Hexbar squat! We will miss him in our gym, and wish him all the best as he moves to another city as a . Thanks for letting us take part in your journey!

Pendulum Step Downs

Quad dominant exercise that can be used for continuing rehab and knee stabilization. We’re using a 6” box and queue the client to hinge the hips back and kick the heel out. Scaps should stay retracted, so we’re reinforcing good postural alignment and proper biomechanics.

It’s a pain to setup, but a fun quad burner!
