Age really is just a number!😆 Jim is 70 years old and lifting the most weight he ever has! He came to us wanting to get stronger to live a longer active lifestyle. He quickly realized how much better he felt after a strength session and was instantly hooked on getting stronger. At the beginning of the year we talked about up coming goals for the year. He mentioned that his previous PR was a 150lb trap bar deadlift and he wanted to get back to that.💪 After months of consistency and hard work Jim surpassed that and did 175lb trap bar deadlift for 4x reps. On to the next goal of 200lb by the end of the year! Oh, and check out the end, showing how hard he works and how strong he is by killing the rotational Bulgarian Split squat. 📍 Lincoln Park & Lake Forest ✉️ [email protected] #chicago #chitown #chicagofit #strengthtraining #motivation #lakeforest #lincolnpark #healthylifestyle #wellness #jimkaras #coaching #fitness #fitnessjourney #fitnessmotivation #personaltrainingchicago #chicagogram #chicagobucketlist #explorechicago #chicagoexplore #thingstodoinchicago #chicagofun #chicagoactivities #chicagotrip #chicagovisit
Whether you’re holding onto your dog’s leash for dear life or you're trying to open up that pickle jar, there’s a term you should be familiar with: grip strength! #Gripstrength is often overlooked during training. However, it plays a vital role in our daily living. Most think of it as boring farmer's holds/ carries, but it is much more fun than that! It can be blended with functional training in the form of finger pull ups (you know, for that time you plan to hang off a cliff). 😂 OR, it can be incorporated with your childhood like swinging in the monkey bars! Either way, don’t forget to train that grip! Come check us out at our Lake Forest and Lincoln Park locations and see how we can incorporate grip training into your fitness routine! 📍 Lincoln Park & Lake Forest ✉️ [email protected] #chicago #chitown #chicagofit #strengthtraining #motivation #lakeforest #lincolnpark #healthylifestyle #wellness #jimkaras #coaching #fitness #fitnessjourney #fitnessmotivation #chicagogram #chicagobucketlist #explorechicago #chicagoexplore #thingstodoinchicago #chicagofun #chicagoactivities #chicagotrip #chicagovisit

Repost from @moms_and_muscles • Remember, there are no shortcuts or “spot training” or quick fixes or fancy exercises that are going to get you to your goal. Hard work, consistency, and full body movements will help build a strong body. . . . Todays focus was hinging/hip extension. 1. Barbell deadlifts 6-8 reps x 4 sets 2. Hip thrusts on the Smith machine bar. 10 reps x 4 sets. 3. Single leg kettlebell RDL’s 10 reps each leg x 4 sets. . . . . . . . . . #consistency #strength #strengthtraining #stronglikeamama #glutes #hipextension #deadlift #rdl #hipthrusts #thethrustisamust #workhard #momsandmuscles #fitmom #strongmom #moveyourbody #juststrong #workout #workoutmotivation #motivation #fitness #inspire #healthylifestyle
