One of the biggest predictors of quality of life as we age is strength. It has been scientifically proven that older adults who are strong live longer than those who lack significant strength. Never stop striving to be stronger. #kgmaxfitness #followforfollow #powerlifting #strengthandconditioning #strengthtraining #squatuniversity #onlinetrainer https://www.instagram.com/p/ByTW1oWgXUy/?igshid=zilke9e71b0e

As a #certifiedpersonaltrainer, and especially as someone who doesn't necessarily have the most impressive physique or lifts, no truer words can be spoken. A real mentor isn't measured in their paper abilities, but rather the IMPACT left on everyone listening. Think about that. Do what you do because you genuinely want to make an impact and change a life, even if it's just one. #unitedinstrength #igfitness #squatuniversity #nasmcertified #nasmcpt #nasm #onlinepersonaltraining #oneononepersonaltraining #beginnerstrengthtraining #nevergiveup #nevergivein #ificandoitsocanyou #iamacpt #Repost @squat_university (@get_repost) ・・・ Today we live in a world where if you have 6-pack abs, the ability to lift massive weight, or an Instagram filled with half-naked shots of yourself, you are automatically labeled as a 'fitness expert'. While these coaches may get a ton of likes & follows on social media, this way of branding has unfortunately cost many people time & $$. Everyone now has a 'special' meal plan & generic online coaching for a hefty price!!🥊 . It's time we change this. REAL coaches help YOU grow as a person - THEY AREN'T there to take all your money.👍🏼 . I’m not saying there aren’t experts that are crazy strong or have sculpted bodies or that making money is a bad thing for a coach. Unfortunately the average person can’t tell the difference. Coaches NEED TO be spending more time on developing sound periodization and improving their coaching skills. Get OUT of the business of training and start LEARNING to coach. In the end THIS IS HOW OUR CLIENTS/ATHLETES TRULY GET BETTER.🙌🏼 _____________________________________ This is the 180th #SquatUclub eligible post.

#Repost @squat_university ・・・ Do you have wrist pain with overhead barbell training? Here's a simple 3️⃣ step process to fixing the problem👇🏼 . Step 1️⃣: the wrist can become overloaded when the bar is held in a bad position over the head. These issues can often be traced back to overhead mobility. Laying on a foam roll (keep the back flat) move your arms holding a PVC pipe over your head until you feel a stretch in your chest.✅ DONT USE A HEAVY BAR as this can place too much pressure on the shoulder joint.❌Hold for 10-30 seconds ✅ . Step 2️⃣: light stretching of the forearm muscles can help improve wrist mobility and allow you to hold the bar more efficiently, decreasing harmful forces placed on the joint. Hold for 10 seconds.✅ . Step 3️⃣: For an more effective stretch, you can use a band to assist the body. Place the band around the base of the wrist, and turn your fingers towards the anchor of the band. Lift the arm slightly (creating a little joint space with the small bones in the wrist) and lean towards your fingers to bring out a stretch in your forearm. If you need to help keeping the base of your hand down, use your opposite free hand to push it down (you can even place your free hand under the band).✅ This is a stretch I learned from @shift_movementscience. Hold for 10 seconds.✅ . If the pain is not relieved soon after implementing these tools, I suggest seeking out a medical professional. _________________________________ #Squat #SquatUniversity #Powerlifting #weightlifting #crossfit #training #wod #workout #gym #exercisescience #fit #fitfam #fitness #fitspo #oly #olympicweightlifting #hookgrip #nike #adidas #lift #crossfitter

Another awesome account that more people should be following. The people that complain about lower back pain after squaring most likely perform the exercise with an overly arched lower back. #Repost @squat_university with @repostapp ・・・ One of the common faults I see during the start of the squat is excessive pelvic tilt (shown right.). The examples today (while a little exaggerated for the purpose of demonstration) show the difference between an optimal hip hinge & an exaggerated pelvic tilt. When we start the squat, the hips engage but the low back must stay stable. If when engaging the glutes, you allow the pelvis to tip forward - the low back instantly loses stability & arches excessively. This movement fault places harmful forces on the small structures of the low-back which can eventually lead to low back pain. An forward tipped pelvis can also make it easier for the knees to cave in during the squat!! To fix this, think about bracing your core (as if someone is going to punch you) & THEN starting your squat. --------------------------------- To read more on how to improve your squat technique, check out the article linked in our bio! __________________________________ Squat University is the ultimate guide to realizing the strength to which the body is capable of.

This is a very true statement. Build the technique, then develop strength. Too often in the gym I see a vast amount of people sacrifice form for bigger numbers. Doing so will only lead to injury and thus smaller numbers.

There is a simple screen called the “single-leg bridge test” that can help identify coordination related injuries. I first came across this screen after reading ‘Anatomy for Runners’ by physical therapist Jay Dicharry.📚 . What muscles did you feel working hard after holding this single-leg bridge for 5 seconds? Comment below either glutes, hamstrings, back or quads.👇🏼 . Our goal with this screen is to identify your “go-to” muscles for hip extension (the movement that drives you out of the bottom of the squat, clean, snatch, etc). If you felt anything other than your butt muscles (glutes) working the hardest, you have a coordination problem we need to work on.🤔 . The glutes (specifically the glute max) have two main jobs: hip extension and postural stability. Most people with coordination problems will feel their low back, hamstrings or quads working hard and possible cramping during this test.😳 . Each of these problems gives insight into how your body coordinates itself during barbell training. If you felt the low back, it means you’re likely arching your back 1st and then moving your hips. If you felt your hamstrings cramping, it means the hamstrings are working double time to produce hip extension because your glutes aren’t pulling their weight (pun intended). If you felt your quads working hard you probably aren’t using your posterior chain at all during your workouts (not good).❌ . When your body doesn’t fire muscles in a proper sequence, it leads to inefficient movement and can overload of certain parts of the body. This is WHY some athletes develop pain. 🙌🏼 . Check out the blog post linked in my bio to see a few ways to fix this coordination problem 📲📲 ____________________________________ #strengthandconditioning #Squat #SquatUniversity #Powerlifting #weightlifting #crossfit #training #wod #workout #gym #fit #fitfam #fitness #fitspo #oly #olympicweightlifting #hookgrip #mobility #lifting #crossfitter #squats #physicaltherapy #prehab Repost @squat_university

Hitting a new Squat PR.🔥 It's not the weight you lift that matter the most it's HOW YOU LIFT THE WEIGHT THAT MATTERS. On 3rd November I did hit the PR with 110kg but the form was not good at all. I shifted towards the left side, my body was not stable, it was leaning forward on the way up, leading to a disbalance in hip knee extension and hip extension. But after 2 months here I am squatting with 115kgs with ease. No leaning forward, no side shifting, with more stability and with simultaneous knee and hip extension. So the bottom line is only adding weights on the barbell don't make you stronger if you are lifting with poor quality. Try to fix them first before increasing weights because poor quality lifts will only lead you more prone to injury. #squat #backsquat #legworkout #legday #squatlife #squatbenchdeadlift #squatuniversity #squatpr #squatchallenge #personaltrainer #fitnessprofessional #fitness #fitnessaddict #fitspo #strength #strenghttraining #powerliftingmotivation #powerlifting #tuesday #tuesdaymotivation #morningworkout #k11schooloffitnesssciences #deadlifts #benchpress ##overheadpress #cleanandjerk #ketotransformation #ketomutant (at Revolution Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7To_zlphdA/?igshid=ejybayn25ev9

@Regrann from @squat_university - Are you an Olympic weightlifter or a CrossFitter who performs the olymipc lifts (clean and snatch) regularly? If so, using a controlled bounce turnaround during your squats can be a great way to help train your squat in a way that will carry over to more explosive and powerful snatch and clean. 🏋🏽 . A controlled bounce when squatting increases explosive power during the ascent. Here is 3 examples of lifters who demonstrate this well. The heavier the weight gets, the slower the descent will naturally become to maintain technique, while a powerful turnaround can help propel tremendous weight upwards. The most important factor is maintaining technique. A controlled bounce is NOT a dive bomb where you drop quickly. Doing so will dramatically decrease your control of the barbell, increase stress to the knees, lead to an off balance ascent. This is a skill that takes a ton of practice to maintain a high level of tension.✅ . Start off with just the bar when learning this powerful turnaround. Make you are able to maintain core stability and the bar path remains over your mid foot. If you bounce too quickly and lose stability, the bar will move towards the toes (when viewed from the side) instead of over your mid foot.👍🏻👍🏻 . While a bounce increases shear forces on the knee joint, if it is controlled and not excessive, a healthy athlete should be able to easily tolerate it. If you have a history of knee injuries or are currently in pain, I would avoid this quick turnaround.🙌🏼 . Shout out to @hookgrip for today's footage.
