JB Coaching

Great effort from the boys over the weekend at Deadlift Only comp.

They all did an incredible job and managed to come away with some very impressive and we'll deserved PB's.

Training the past couple of weeks was tough and the boys stepped up to the challenge and the work paid off big time.

Chris Sommers 220kg
Reece Farr 220kg (5kg+)
Jack Innes 215kg (10kg+)

Unfortunately both Jamie & Josh didn't make it to the platform but both put in massive efforts throughout their training and definitely would of come away with a couple of PB's aswell.

Bring on 2023 👊

Mobility vs Stability

They’re thrown around alot these days
Yet it seems like its being butchered on the daily.

Most of you tend to over emphasis the need for mobility work
And tend to be in the camp that mobility work should be a constant thing

Instead we want to be looking at mobility work to solve a problem
It should be very specific
And it should be for a short duration
A couple weeks at most.
Not months and months on end

If you someone that has been doing the same mobility drills for months and months on end
Either its not fixing your problem or you don’t have a mobility issue to begin with.

This is where stability comes into play

Stability is grossly overlooked when it comes to reducing injury and making up better
Stability should be implemented ALOT more like mobility is
But with the same principles
IT SHOULD SOLVE A PROBLEM

For example
Someone that can’t hit depth in a squat
Very rarely do I find it to be a hip or ankle mobility issue

Instead in most cases I find that its actually a hip stability issue

And once we fix that issue EVERYTHING is better
There's less pain
There's more strength
There's confidence behind their movement

So start looking at WHY your doing what you're doing
Either MOBILITY or STABILITY
And be aware of the change that your looking to improve
If its not there after a couple of weeks
Either your not doing it right or the exercise isn’t the right one for you

For lower body my go to stability exercises are LUNGES
For upper body my go to stability exercises are O/H Presses

You've gotta earn your stripes on the bar

This would be one of the biggest mistakes I see on a daily basis

People coming into the gym and lifting weights that they have no right to even look at

Their technique is S**T
The weight is far too heavy
And their end up injuring themselves

All because they hadn't earned the right to attempt that weight.

Now i'm not saying you shouldn't lift heavy
I'm just saying that you need to be smart about it
And do the work first

You need to
BUILD the foundation
WORK on your technique
IMPROVE on your weak points

This is exactly what I did to Squat 270kg
I BUILT my foundation for squatting
I consistently WORKED on refining my technique
And I IMPROVED on any weaknesses I found along the way

The work I put in allowed me to squat 270kg
Successfully
&
Without injury

Theres no reason why you can't squat 270kg
or hit a massive PB on any of your lifts
But you need to put in the work first and earn your stripes
