So cool to see these long-time client of mine doing this so easily 😄. Have to make it harder next time.

Exercise of the week = Landmine Deadlift

What an inspiring lady! We started with no expectations of how this training is going to be. But she definitely want to get stronger and she did with 20kg kettlebell deadlift for 5 reps easily. Such a privilege for me to train this very kind lady . Really made my day😊. Oh yeah thanks to her daughter for telling her about my training otherwise she wouldn't be here ☺️.

Oh yeah so easy for her at 60 S/M. 💪

Huge win for her. The squats are getting so much stronger.💪Well done to her.

He is not just stretching his hips in the frog stretch. Being passive and not have control is not complete form of mobility training. Mobility training is about training for specific control/strength in an area. In this case, we are training for better hip control (internal hip rotation) without compensation from his spine.

He always wanted to pull a 100kg deadlift but wasn't sure how to get there. Because he was unsure of the technique. 7 weeks into training with me and he got a couple sets of 110kg deadlift singles. Well done to him! He sure is very keen and never mind hard work.👍

I could not be more proud of this small young lady. Always learning and always practice. That's how you can get better. Practice the move, refine, practice more and refine and repeat until it feels lighter.

The ab wheel is always great for working the core.

[CLIENT SPOTLIGHT]
Definitely one of my best success stories in the gym and most easy-going person I ever trained. I would ask him (on several occasions) what he like to train and his answer is "Do whatever you want!". Seriously, I know how easy going is that. I don't even have to convince some of the "nasty" things we are gonna do😆. Oh yeah this Nordic Curls used to feel nasty.

So I go to work with his body and do what I see needs work and he went from having sore neck and sore shoulders to now working on more advanced mobility training in his pain-free body. Sometimes, he would walk away from mobility training very exhausted when the routines seem simple but can be horrible to do. He did them and let me guide him despite the terrible cramps he get sometimes. But hey his body feels great, moving pain-free and play sports with minimal risk.

He certainly is doing mobility training not because it's a trend. He is doing it because he feels great from doing it and allows his body do more of what he wanted physically.

Sometimes you get very nice people such as .dos.santos who is happy to be my free fitness model helping everyone feels freer in the hips and move better with this episode of Half Kneeling PAILs/RAILs demo here. If this video helps you, please thank her. Otherwise, this helpful video wouldn't be here.

It's great to see this man (no longer a tin man) warm up with back bends here. This is his current baseline of mobility. When I first saw him I would not even think of him doing this because his neck and shoulders are too tight. I would break him if I did. Now that seems like the past. Seriously, who wants tight neck and shoulders. It's a horrible feeling. Proper mobility training can help.

While having great level of flexibility can be a good thing, it's far better to back it up with STRENGTH. Stretching alone won't give you strength. You need to actually load it (strength work) and get the nervous system to turn on those tissue cells and get to work. Flexibility is not mobility. Flexibility plus strength is mobility.

So cool to see this young lady getting super comfortable with the deadlift. Sure it took awhile because she got Covid and got knocked around abit. Now she is back on track and forward we go.

Benefits of getting coached properly is you get the most out of your lift as soon as possible (the speed varies among individuals depending on previous experiences). Before he came to me, he would feel sore or strain after his deadlift sessions even at less than his bodyweight deadlift. Now that's all sorted. He never feels his lower back. And he understands how to do it safely and he can do it with great confidence at 90kg. Well done to him.

So tell me...is it a great win knowing exactly how to do a lift safely and be able to move forward?

One of easiest or uncomplicated ways to teach my client how to swings. And swinging is not her main objective of her training. She wants to gain strength and she deadlift reasonably well. So why not throw in the kettlebell swings to boost her cardio😄.
