Durbrow Performance Training

A lot of workouts fall into one of two buckets:

1). Either they’re so beginner you never feel challenged…
2). Or they’re so intense you feel like you don’t belong.

We try to do things differently.

Our workouts are athletic—but not in a “keep up or get left behind” way.

Athletic means:

👉You’re learning how to move well
👉You’re getting stronger over time
👉 You’re building CAPACITY and becoming more CAPABLE

In the same session ——

One person may be doing kettlebell deadlifts.
Another person is deadlifting with the bar.

Same workout. Same intent. Different exercises based on how their body feels or sometimes a preference.

You don’t need to be athletic to start.

You become athletic by training like it—at your level.

Thanks for always playing along, DPT crew 👏

Three Things Our Most Consistent Clients Do to Get Results 📌

This doesn’t mean number or weight loss results.

Sometimes that’s the byproduct but the main thing our clients get really good at is being consistent with exercise as a part of their lives.

1). They schedule their workouts. Just like an appointment. It goes on the calendar.

Many people even stick to the exact same days and times every week. 📆

2). They aim to up their weights every week. Not on every exercise, but they’re always trying to make some type of progress that day. 👌

3). They work out with their friends. Not people they already knew, they’ve MADE gym friends.

When you come in to a place that you can have fun and work hard with friend, it makes exercise less of a chore. 🎉

There are so many other successful habits our clients have, ‘cause they are bad asses, but these are three that stand out as consistent themes.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

To kick off our Thursday training cycle for July, we brought back some barbell deadlifts.

But because it doesn’t always feel awesome for everyone, we’ve got variations that fit and feel better.

📌Trap Bar
📌Kettlebells
📌And maybe not a deadlift at all

There are no mandatory exercises. ❌

Find what feels right for your body and an exercise you feel confident in, so you can feel less inhibited.

Then you’re able to work harder and get more out of it.💪

The gym should enhance your life, not take away from it because you’re hurt.

And great job crew, we’re excited for the progress this month 👏👏

Top Four Pressing Exercises When You Have Painful Shoulders

disclaimer: these do not take the place of a good clinician who can assess what’s going on, WHILE you continue to strength train.

But if you do have occasional shoulder pain or especially if it comes up in certain exercises or positions, these are usually my go-to’s for safe pressing without pain.

All of them allow you to adjust the angle really well to what feels good on your shoulder.

I’ve found that is a huge factor for being able to train around an injury or flare up.

💥Ring Push Ups- you can walk your body up or down to decrease or increase the difficulty. The rings feel really smooth on cranky shoulders.

💥Landmine Presses- it’s an overhead press but not really. That slightly forward angle feels great instead of going fully overhead.

💥Kettlebell 1-Arm Presses- similar to the rings, you can move the bell around your shoulder as it goes up in a really smooth way. Plus going one arm at a time helps improve any imbalances.

💥V-Up Presses- you can adjust the angle of your body to get more or less overhead. Plus the V-Up position gets some bonus core work 👌
