#basicbarbellmovements

Hello and I hope you all enjoyed your 4th of July! Here's a quick #trainertip brought to you by yours truly. I began incorporating the #pausesquat into my #squat warmups two weeks ago and I recommend you do the same. Pause Squats just what they sound like: descend to the bottom and hold for at least two seconds. Do them because holding the bottom position increases #timeundertension, stimulating the quads, therefore acting as a catalyst for further growth. Do them because the increased TUT improves the #concentric portion of the squat - the explosiveness. Do them because your chest will be forced to lead in the ascension from the bottom as you explode up, followed by your #hips. This obviously is a blatant reinforcement of #movementpatterns. Here's 185 paused at the bottom. It's 75% of yesterday's desired weight of 265. For more tips, as well as basic, yet effective #strengthtraining, I'm available for #oneononepersonaltraining at the iconic @strongandshapely. I'm also available for #onlinepersonaltraining and #nutritioncoaching via Zoom and Skype. I'm also available for #athomepersonaltraining.

Last week was the first time in a while that I truly began to notice shape and definition in my #upperbody again. How did I get here? Not by performing multiple different isolation exercises, but rather than working hard and often on the basic, #multijointexercises along with the some accessory work that specifically mimics those movements. Yes, there absolutely is a time and place for #isolationexercises. But if you're new or coming back to training following these lockdowns, the #basicbarbellmovements are THE way to go to help you build size all over. If you're looking for way to gain #size and #strength in a way that's basic yet effective, I'm available for #oneononepersonaltraining at the iconic @strongandshapely. I'm also available for #onlinepersonaltraining and #nutritioncoaching via Zoom and Skype. In also available for #athomepersonaltraining.
