Posted • “ I don’t just want to be lean–I want to be athletic, too.”
A good friend told me this yesterday.
He has a 2 year old and wants to stay athletic both keep up with his daughter AND continue playing softball and hockey.
I told him, there’s a big difference between training purely for aesthetics and improving your athleticism.
There is some crossover between the two; but there’s an important distinction to how you generally approach each one.
For athleticism you’re focused on EXECUTING the movement as efficiently as possible, getting more explosive & stronger.
For aesthetics, you’re focused on the MUSCLE doing the work more so than just doing the movement itself.
The cool thing is, you can build a body that’s both athletic & ripped.
You simply need to blend elements of performance (jumps, throws, sprints, heavy lifting) with the right amount of classic muscle-building work.
A funny thing happens when your performance starts to increase–If you were an athlete, you start to get your olde confidence and energy back.
If you weren’t an athlete, you find training much more fun & empowering.
Training doesn’t just have to be about aesthetics.
Sometimes the best thing you can do is focus on your performance–every other area of your life will improve and long-term, you’ll end up with the body you wanted anyway.
If you have questions on anything covered in this post, let me know and I’ll help you out.

Posted • Are you stuck in spinal flexion❓ Meaning you’re constantly rounded in the spine❓ Skinny Bob👽 over from and will help explain why this can happen, so listen up 👇
Over time, spending all your time in flexion can (keyword: can) lead to disc pain, nerve pain, or other conditions like sciatica. ⚠️
So how does one fix it❓ Well, you need to start by strengthening your erector spinae muscles—or just erectors for short. What are they❓They're the muscles that start near your sacrum and run vertically up the length of your back.
Your erectors are responsible for keeping you erect. If you’re in flexion all the time, they’re not doing their job to keep you erect‼️
Not sure where to start?

🔎Glenohumeral (shoulder) joint mobility deficits are commonly observed following intra-articular traumas like fractures, after periods of immobilization and in frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) cases.
-
🧠When the glenohumeral joint becomes hypomobile, range of motion is often lost in a specific order, termed a capsular pattern. Typically, this pattern leads to restriction in the following order: External Rotation > Abduction > Internal Rotation.
-
✅If you have had an injury and think you may be progressively losing range of motion, make sure to see a healthcare professional. Additionally, the exercises shown here could be used to help improve mobility.
1️⃣External Rotation in Neutral
2️⃣External Rotation at 90 Degrees Abduction
3️⃣Abduction
4️⃣Flexion
5️⃣Internal Rotation
