Diamond Physique Personal Training

🔶Lateral Flipping 🔶
Get your body comfortable with moving laterally through the torso.
Get into an athletic stance or shallow squat position. Don’t just muscle the object with your arms. Focus on creating drive through the torso. Begin slow to understand & coordinate the movement, then increase speed & load as you progress.
You can shift weight from one side to the other. Try the weight shift with and against the flip momentum. You’ll need access to both skill sets, especially in sports.

This could have turned out worse. Hopefully he learned something from this.

🔶SLOW ASS PULL-UP 🔶
Last month & I were chatting about the 2 minute pull-up that has made its rounds on social media, & Neal decided to see what he could do.
This is usually done with the eccentric followed by the concentric but we decided to change it up. 90 seconds! He did pretty damn good for a spontaneous, no prep attempt.

🔥Booty Burner 🔥
Time under tension. Hold for 15 seconds & perform 3 reps. Contra lateral hold with the kettlebell or dumbbell. Make sure to breathe. Enjoy 😊

🔶Task Based Training 🔶
Teaching Nate how to move under load. He’s a little brainiac & likes talking about physics. I don’t come across kids like him too often so it’s a lot of fun when I do.
The task was simply to bring the barbell to a vertical position, but he had to mix up his patterns. Meanwhile, his Dad in the background sounding like he was moving something heavy 😉 (which he was)

🔶T-spine & Hamstring Stretch 🔶
Tap on video for verbal cues.

🔶Levers & Angles 🔶
It’s not always about adding more weight to increase stimulus. Simply changing levers & angles impacts physical demands.

🔶 “Big Toe Mojo” 🔶
One of my favorite quotes from
Posted • Those who NEGLECT the Big Toe simply don’t know that what they’ve got to show is an A-Guilly’s tendon blow complete rupture in a non-contact situation, oh no!!!! Flexor Hallucis Longus has to be Strong or your feet go Wrong. Don’t let “worst of all time coaching” destroy your hopes, dreams & body….

🔶Drag Racing 🔶
When you want to race but gas prices gotcha bummed out 😉

Holy s**t! That’s Uber impressive

Posted • Major tendon injuries generally aren't caused by just one single large load or impact

It's the cumulative effect of constant damage and micro tears that never get the chance to strengthen, recover, or heal properly

Athletes are expediting more tendon, ligament, and soft tissue injuries than ever before

They are also stronger and faster than they have ever been

But the issues still arise

Why?

Because teams/coaches/practitioners/staff aren’t looking at the whole picture and they are missing the biggest piece of the puzzle

The internal environment of athletes is not being looked at or addressed enough

Quality and integrity of structures
Energy and micronutrient availability
Inflammation
Stress and the accumulation of stressors
Gut health
Blood glucose levels
Circadian dysfunction
Etc..

If you keep stressing areas that are constantly being eroded without giving them the proper materials or time to recover and injury is bound to happen

Posted • .athletics 🔥Alternating Offset Split Squats⤵️ •
💯This is an incredible exercise for all athletes. The goal is essentially to maintain the same posture throughout the movement, regardless of which side the weight is on. This forces the body to engage the right muscles at the right time. The ability to activate and control muscles in this manner is key for sports performance. As demonstrated here (when kettlebell is in the right hand) the active muscles are the adductors, same side oblique, quads and glutes. On the contrary (when kettlebell is in left hand) the active muscles are the abductors, opposite side oblique, quads and glutes •

🔶 Structural Integrity 🔶
Making sure that the floor isn’t going to collapse 😉

😳
I’ve never worn 👠 but I think this is pretty impressive.

Posted • In preparation for any big and heavy traditional lifts, there’s a few things we think are very important!
We need to up-regulate and activate the system! To do that we use the in a variety of shortened tissue positions. We engage and load for 2-3 seconds at a time, encouraging small motor unit recruitment around the joints. Give these a shot before your next big lifts!

Posted • Wow! Feeling super and
A lil 53lb KB side press with an elbow tap. Man, that last inch felt like a mile!! (I'm not a KB guru, forgive me if it's not called a side press)

🔶Over The Top 🔶
Arm wrestling exerts quite a bit of torque on the arms. It also is a great position to train the soft tissues. It improves rotational capacity of the arm beginning with grip strength.
I’m using a sub-maximal effort
drill (≈ 70-80% rpe) utilizing a long duration (45 seconds) isometric contraction to improve my arm line capacity & stamina.

🔶Push-up Variation 🔶
Placing my hands on the side of the forces me to compress during my push-ups. Slight adjustments can make a big difference.

🔶Partner Training 🔶
Don’t use age as a reason to stop strength training.
