"I did x for x reps so my 1RM is x" is a statment I hear way too often. I know people are just getting excited about potentially imprvoving, but this is a very flawed way of figuring out a max and can lead to so big disapointments.

Microbiome, specifically the kind that live in your gut, are complex systems of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and a few other things that help with vitamin absorption, food processing, energy storage, and can even affect your mood and fat stores. How do we even control these 4 trillion little biomes? Diet, of course. Check it out!

Deadlifts aren’t just for the powerlifters anymore. This exercise has been a staple for anyone who has ever stepped in a weight room with the goal of becoming their strongest selves, but with the growing demographic of people working out, the deadlift has adapted, and I don’t just mean in variation, but in volume of usage. So, who can benefit from the deadlift and why?

I have observed two main struggles that people face when trying to lose weight. I don’t mean the simple things like "I really like cake", I am talking about the people that are actually trying to lose weight but are coming up short. I've been guilty of some of these things in the past, but recognizing and overcoming these things are so important and there is no time to waste!

The Warm-up. The most underappreciated, taken-for-granted part of the workout that is often given as much thought as which plain-white towel you’re going to wipe your sweat with. The warm-up though, which you learn as you age, is truly the first brick to be laid down for this proverbial wall we are calling a workout. The base of anything can make or break a day, and the older I get, the more necessary a proper warm-up has become.

We are all trying to get stronger in one way or another, but sometimes we need a reminder to get back to basics and really take a fresh look at what our weight lifting routine has become. The good news is that change is easy. It's free, it takes no more of your time and it's something you get to completely control. Sweet deal right? Just gotta do it!

Switching up the focus from heavy weight to a refresher course on form and control is something I think is pretty important. One big aspect of the gym that unfortunately happens is we get stuck in these routines that worked great, made us feel strong, and we proceed to work that same routine to death, eventually leading toa plateau that we are never as quick as we should be to change. Something as simple as slowing it down and changing your tempo does wonders for reinvigorating your mind-muscle connection and focusing on working the muscle that you are in fact trying to isolate.
