You can’t build a great physique or improve your athleticism by doing water bottle curls at home or leg pressing the living room couch‼️

Back to work this week! But for how long?

What can we get accomplished for the next 6, 8, 10, 12 weeks with access to the gym and the weight room before we get locked up again? 🤔 (Knock on wood).

I’ve been doing quite alot of re-visiting and modifying workout programs to hit the next milestones for everyone involved with The Force. Constantly thinking & brainstorming on how to maneuver going forward in this world of uncertainty.

For now it’s time to get agressive with our goals.

Been thinking about this video since last week... The closest thing that comes to mind to replicate an assisted horizontal squat jump in most commercial gym environments without a wheel board or a dolly. Definitely too much weight on the leg press for this one & gravity is still impacting the exercise. I’m just thinking out loud on the gram & reminiscing about a world where we don’t have to stay locked inside. Carry on.

Joining the Applied Performance Coach Certificatio

Joining the Applied Performance Coach Certification and Mentorship program under @dr.ramsey.nijem is one of the best decisions I’ve made in recent memory.

Can’t wait to start applying the all the concepts & the science in the weight room with my hoopers. When the restrictions are lifted it’s foot on the gas 🦶🏾⛽️🔥

“An exception to the use of unstable surfaces in

“An exception to the use of unstable surfaces in a hypertrophy oriented routie involves exercises for the core musculature.”

“Researchers found that crunches perfofrmed on a stability ball elicited significantly greater muscle activity in both the upper and lower rectus abdominus than crunches performed under stable conditions.” 📚

“Similar results were shown in another study that displayed significantly increased activity of both the rectus abdominus and the external obliques when performing curl ups on an unstable surface compared to a stable surface.” 📚

“These results suggest a role for unstable surface training in developing the abdominals.” 💡

The key word here. suggest ‼️

Old vids, somewhat confirmed by science. What I can confirm is the soreness I felt in my abs for the next 3 days 😅🔥

I saw stability balls for purchase at Walmart yesterday for $17. Hopefully this post will help with your exercise selection for your core during the lockdown 🍫💪🏾

Machines have their use at times for athletes and if you use them with a purpose they can compliment your training so well. You can do this exact variation on the Lying Leg Curl Machine to improve your Nordic Hamstring Curls. Load it heavy, curl it up with both legs and slowly make your way back down with one 🔥

I have not read any studies nor do I know if any research papers exist for this exercise but it makes sense to believe the eccentric forces produced by this one is similar to the Nordic if you do go heavy enough 🧠 If you can’t do a single Nordic or maybe less than 5 reps, this is not a bad place to start💡

Keep this one in your tool box for when gyms open up again 😪 & for everyone that voted overrated on the story yesterday, just know machines have their use if you’re willing to think outside the box 🤟🏾

43 1/2 INCHES! 🔥🍑 That was Jasmine’s hip

43 1/2 INCHES! 🔥🍑

That was Jasmine’s hip measurement two weeks ago. The same week the picture on the right was taken.

What you see on the left? 👉🏾 barely eating, lots of cardio, little weights or circuit workouts.

On the right? 👉🏾 eating gooood with no restrictions, no cardio, lifting heavy weights.

A simple formula 🤝

True story, I don’t remember the person on the left. Jas said she wasn’t in a good place mentally just one year ago. You wouldn’t be able tell by looking at her physique but her previous training methods definitely reflect that.

Safe to say we can draw a couple conclusions from her transformation:

- Lifting heavy weights is almost guaranteed to improve your mental health ✨

- Lifting heavy weights will not make you bulky or “look like a man” ❌

- Gaining healthy weight and growing a bigger booty will make you happier 🙌🏾

Crazy to think this is just the tip of the iceberg. She said we’ll back back in 6 months with another picture, hopefully with a smaller waist 😂

I’m a proud trainer right now Jas this is your moment!🤞🏾❤️
