Bodyconnect Performance Training

Some highlights from Thailand and Vietnam, and a day in China! It was an awesome trip, with lots of flips, handstands, and fun exploring the other side of the world 🌍!

But 6 weeks was definitely long enough for me… I was definitely missing having real portions of protein, the gym, and good coffee ☕️! And not to mention, I actually was really missing my work coaching as well 💪😅.

SET STANDARDS FOR YOUR HEALTH, NOT GOALS.

Is poor mobility holding you back from maximizing your lifting and leaving you feeling stiff and rigid with your movements? If you’ve been doing quarter or half reps for all your lifts and find your strength has plateaued, your knees and back are always tight, and you aren’t seeing the muscle growth you’re working so hard for, take a step back and look at your mobility. While you might have to lower the weight initially to practice lifting with a longer ranger of motion (ROM), there’s a lot of research to support the benefits of training with full ROM when it comes to strength and muscle growth—especially when you slow down in the deep stretched positions of your lifts.

If heavy weight and short ROM was the key to better results, you would see bodybuilders quarter repping everything with super heavy loads. But what do they focus on instead? Controlled movement with deep ranges of motion. Why? Because it stimulates greater muscle growth.

So if you’re looking to unlock your mobility to maximize your gains in the gym, here are my top 3 tips:

1. Find and prioritize your weak points. Common areas are ankles, hips, thoracic spine, and shoulders. But YouTube some mobility assessments or tests and find your weakest links, so that you can pick the right exercises to make a difference in your body. If somethings not broken, don’t try to fix it.

2. Practice often. Mobility training is best done with high frequency and low volume/intensity. Instead of doing a full 1 hour mobility workout a couple days per week, try implementing a couple 5-minute mobility sessions into your daily routine. It’s not only more efficient, but also more effective for delivering results.

3. Use your mobility as you unlock it. As you become more mobile and you can lift with longer ROM, it becomes much easier to maintain that mobility as long as you keep lifting with the longer ROM on a regular basis. If you can squat ATG, and you squat a couple times per week with ATG technique, you won’t need to spend much time training your squat mobility separately.

So stop putting it off till tomorrow, start working on your mobility today!
