Are you lifting heavy enough?
Here’s how we know:
Beyond technical failure, watching someone’s facial expressions while they work out, can give you a clue if they’re working hard enough
Ideally, in any given set in order to qualify as a work set, we want to leave no more than one or two reps left in the tank
This is in order to constantly induce, adaptation and change in the muscles
If we don’t work out to the appropriate intensity, then technically, we are just going through the motions
You deserve more than that
Make sure at the end of your set someone who’s watching you
WTF
Aka
Why the face!?

Stop copying programs built for someone else’s schedule
The right plan isn’t the one with the most days built off of someone else’s ideal workout routine
It’s the one meant to adapt to your schedule
Exercises don’t have to change you can add or subtract but the frequency and fun begin when you add more than two times per week
Save this for later pick your frequency and build around it
Not sure if you know where to begin without a Trainer 2,3,4 or five days a week? We can help!
DM us Strong and I’ll point you in the right direction.
The dumbbell tricep kickback has a problem: physics.
With a dumbbell, gravity pulls the elbow and shoulder straight down
which means resistance is highest in the middle of the movement and almost disappears where you’re trying to get the hardest squeeze
A cable or band keeps tension on the triceps through the entire rep, especially at lockout where you want the strongest contraction.
And the shoulder? Not being pulled to the ground.
Want more from your kickbacks?
Ditch the dumbbell and grab a cable or band.
✅ 3 sets
✅ 10-15 reps
✅ Squeeze every rep like it owes you money
Train muscles.
Use physics.

For every one of our youth athletes:
We have three messages we instill
1️⃣
Intent
Every exercise has it, every workout is purposeful, and every set connects to the last.
2️⃣
humility.
In order to learn, we must be open to it. A sense of wonder should accompany the athlete throughout their athletic journey as they leave the ego behind.
3️⃣
honesty
With the first two pillars installed we can now accept feedback: every workout, exercise, and increase in weight allows us to learn about the opportunity and experience
But only if we are honest. “Fine” isn’t feedback.
Each of these
helps us pass on things
that we learned as young, aspiring athletes so that they too can strive greatly
This is why we coach.
Sets and reps matter.
Exercises matter.
Environment and culture
Sit alone at the tip
Of the performance pyramid.

Make sure you’re doing THESE 3️⃣ essential tricep exercises:
The triceps (elbow extensors) fill out a tank top or short sleeve shirt
Better than biceps do 🚨
In conjunction with defined delts, they can turn heads when you walk into a room
Here’s our 3 favorite tricep exercises:
1️⃣ dumbbell skull crushers: easier on elbows than a barbell
BEST SETS AND REPS: 3 x 8-12
2️⃣ bar or rope push downs : can also use a band!
BEST SETS AND REPS: 3 x 10-20
3️⃣ overhead extensions (way better than a dumbbell)
BEST SETS AND REPS: 3 x 12-20
Ask your coach for these three in your workouts (at any point!)

The 5️⃣ questions everyone asks before they start 👇
1️⃣ “Isn’t semi-private just a group class?”
Not even close. A few people in the room, but every single workout is built around you and your goals.
2️⃣ “Can I train coming off an injury or surgery?”
Yes. ATC and Strength Coach credentials means you recover safely AND get stronger at the same time. Not one or the other.
3️⃣ “Will I actually see results?”
Stronger. Healthier. Best shape of their life. Those are our clients’ words, not ours.
4️⃣ “Will I know what I’m doing or just follow along?”
You’ll understand the why behind every exercise. That’s how the results actually stick.
5️⃣ “What’s the gym actually like?”
Clean, welcoming, and a place you stop dreading and start looking forward to.
The one thing people say after they start?
🔵
“I wish I’d done this sooner.”

One of the most problematic movements for the older population:
🚨 Pressing overhead
Simple combatant to that?
Learning / strengthening the overhead pull
There are other exercises like Ring pull-ups that you can use to get stronger including:
✅ lap pull Downs
☑️ one arm pull downs
✔️ 45° pull Downs
📍 pullovers
Ideally you’ll rotate through these in a 4-8 week program
Who loves the rings?

Not another open gym
Not a crowded, “wait for equipment” gym floor
Here’s why the Fall Performance Series is unique:
→ Sport-specific: Hockey programming for hockey. Basketball programming for basketball. Wrestling and swimming specific. Not one generic group workout split between everyone.
→ Timed to peak. 10 weeks built so you’re in your best shape when tryouts open, not gassed in week two, not catching up in week eight.
→ Semi-private means actually coached. Coach Kev is on the floor every session. You get reps watched and corrected, not just access to equipment.
→ Pre-season focus. First few weeks is the base, then we start sharpening: power, change of direction, and the conditioning that holds up while others fade.
Aug 24 to Oct 29. Mon & Thu, 3:30pm. Early bird $500 thru July 4.

HELP YOUR LOW BACK FEEL BETTER IN 60 seconds
We’re gonna break down the cat camel into a lower back, focused movement
Second, we’re gonna break it down into upper back focus movement, but not moving the lower back
Third, we’re gonna resist it with a light to medium band, combining both upper back and lower back involvement
Do you uniqueness of separating these is that you learn which one you need to focus on and which one you might not need as much focus on
For many people, they can do one, but not the other end when they do add resistance, they might even use a lot more abs
Be careful not to cramp in the abs as a abdominal cramp is not fun
