    Just a man and his orange. What’s your favorite Just a man and his orange.

What’s your favorite training snack between drills/lifts/runs?

Intra-workout or between workout snacks are good for athletes who:
- Exercise for 90+ minutes
- Perform high volume training
- Perform high intensity training

One of the main benefits is glycogen replenishment from carbs, which can then undergo glycolysis to provide more ATP (cell energy). 

It’s important to remember though that glycogen replenishes slowly over multiple hours so it’s more important to consistently eat enough good food throughout the day(s) before, but extended high intensity training may benefit from intra or between workout refuel/snacks.

    Training an offset walk to increase proprioceptive Training an offset walk to increase proprioceptive awareness for spinal stability and low back pain‼️
.
.
Proprioception is knowing where your joints are in space.
.
.
When lifting, athletes must be able to stabilize their core to keep from rounding forward or arching their back. Basically, they must keep their back in the same position throughout the entire rep.
.
.
For some athletes, when coach tells them to fix their technique, it’s confusing or frustrating because they thought they were already performing the lift correctly or they didn’t feel themselves round or arch like coach saw.
.
.
We use exercises like this one, thank you @squatuniversity and @andrew_lock_strength for introducing us to the offset walk, to build proprioceptive awareness to feel when we start to move or change position. Once we achieve awareness, we’re better able to learn and correct our form✅

    Pain in the bottom position of your squat? Here Pain in the bottom position of your squat? 

Here we’re using a 3s down: 3s up tempo box squat to train just slightly into this client’s threshold of pain. 

The box adds a level of control to the drill while we only change the weight used rather than the weight and depth of each rep.

Rule #1: only change one variable during a drill to know what does and does not aggravate your symptoms

Rule #2: on Wednesday nights @bollindamon and Coach Jaret turn the gym into Club PSP, so bring your moves 😂🕺🎶

    💥Twitch💥 Trigger point dry needling the mid 💥Twitch💥

Trigger point dry needling the middle deltoid to promote strength, range of motion, and circulation.

The twitch response is a gold standard for essentially promoting relaxation of the taut band (knot in the muscle).

The idea is that if we can gain new ranges of motion, reduce pain intensity, or improve overall movement with modalities such as dry needling, then we can now take advantage of that new gain and train into it and further adapt the overall tissue response✅

    Toes to bar are essentially repetitive bending for Toes to bar are essentially repetitive bending forwards and backwards.

As a simple test, reach down to touch your toes and stand up to lean backwards. If it hurts your back the first time, repeat it 10 times to see if your body adapts and feels better or continues to feel the same pain each rep.

If the motion continues to hurt, consider replacing toes to bar with:
1️⃣strict knees to 90
2️⃣farmers or suitcase carry
3️⃣plank variations
Etc. for training core stabilization.
