Squeeze your tricep at the bottom of the movement.

Don’t build momentum, this is an isolation exercise slow and controlled.

If you need more resistance get a higher grip on the band. 

Hope this helps

Wall balls or basketball 🏀 shots???

Wall balls should ideally be a fluid movement.

Try to avoid doing a poor squat then standing up and shooting a hoop with one arm, yes it might bring you back to your high school basketball glory days but we want to keep our body aligned and symmetrical in this movement.

Hope this helps

Do your bench dips look like this?!

Here’s how to get more out of it.

Bench dips are a great exercise for targeting our triceps, the problem is when you just rock forward we don’t activate the tricep at all.

Make sure your back is close to the bench and you are dropping straight down. Ideally hit 90 degrees and then come back up.

Try to avoid rocking forward and back

Hope this helps

Should I do more weight and sacrifice form? Or better form and less weight?

It’s always good to push yourself to increase weights and see how much you can curl, but don’t sacrifice form and risk injury just to add a few pounds.

I prefer quality or reps over quantity and so does your body.

Hope this helps.

🤷‍♂️Please don’t throw yourself up while doing your suspension rows….

Make sure you are keeping constant tension while performing the movement.

At the top pause and squeeze, think of squeezing your biceps and shoulders at the top. This Mary vary depending on the grip being used.

Hope this helps.

Micro Nutrients, what are they and do I need to be taking a bunch of supplements?

✅ Tips for picking up weights…

Don’t get hurt just trying to pick up your weights!

Use your knees to help lift the weights up and rock back.

Perform the movements, and then use your knees to get back up the same way.

If you just drop the weights without looking and there are other weights on the ground you have the chance of smashing your fingers.

Hope this helps #personaltrainer #FitLife #postfalls #cda #northIdaho #gym 

✅ Tips for the dumbbell chest fly

This is an isolation movement not a compound movement, hence lighter weight than your chest press lol

10 Degree bend in elbows, not straight arms but not a press either

Don’t let your palms go below your chest, you may have the range of motion but it will just put extra pressure on your shoulders.
