Mind Muscle Connection - To get the most out of this, and every workout, activley
focus on the muscles you're using while you workout. Mind muscle activation is KEY
in getting fantastic results from your training. Focus focus focus!
Squats - A key idea to remember with squats is the use of "torque". Torque is the
active engagement of your legs throughout the movement. To get torque, stand
with your feet hip width apart, and imagine screwing your entire leg outwards from
your feet. Notice the sensation of your outer thighs and glutes engage as you do
this.
Eyes forward, Chest Up, Knees in line with your feet. Keep your core braced
throughout this movement
Stiff Leg Deadlift -Maintain a natural arch in the spine, avoid rounding out your
back, and keep your head in neutral. Use your glutes as you bring the bar up by
squeezing at the top.
Push-Ups - Using the principle of torque, engage the targeted muscles by mentally
corkscrewing your arms as you press up. Maintain a straight back, head in neutral,
and press up at the top. Imagine trying to separate your shoulder blades as you
reach the top.
Pull-Ups - Use a resistance loop band to assist. Don't use momentum, and focus on
the muscles used. Exhale as you come up.
Overview & Key Concepts
Lunges - Pay attention to the front knee, and make sure it's not caving inward.
Keep your shoulders back and a proud posture. While the front leg is the primary
focus of a lunge, the back leg is also helping, so press off of the back foot with a
fair amount of force.
Hip Thrusts - Keep your eyes forward during double leg hip thrusts. This will help
to keep your glutes engaged, and preventthe wrong muscles from taking over. Use
a tilting motion with your hips, rolling them back slightly as you go down, and rolling
forward and up slightly as you come up. Squeeze your glutes at the top.
Rest Periods - Use rest periods throughout your workout, resting after each super
set. The purpose of rest periods is to allow ATP (energy) to replenish in your
tissues, and to make sure your next set is done with good, clean form. A standard
rest period is typically around 1 minute. Stay focused during rest periods, limit
phone scrolling, and avoid chatting. Misuse of rest periods can break momentum
and focus, leading to lackluster workouts
