Front loaded good mornings🌞 One of my absolute favorite leg machines. So versatile. Targets quads, hamstrings and glutes all with different angles and positions. Love to get creative and find new effective ways to target muscle groups. I have ALWAYS struggled with LOW BACK pain. My whole life. Exercises like heavy RDL, or good mornings are great ways to load the hamstrings, however I find they tend to put lots of stress on my low back and have lead to injury in the past. Even with the best form. So I have found a newer and smarter way to load the hamstrings without nearly any stress on the low back. Using this squat machine with a front loaded position and performing good mornings has changed the game for my hamstring loading exercises. Zero back pain or pressure, and really elongates, stretches and targets the hamstrings effectively. Never neglect your posterior chain strength. Especially as athletes!!! Give it a try next leg day if you ever struggle with back pain like me! ~TAP IN Coaching, nutrition services and personal training found on my website or DM me. www.theapexpursuitco.com #legday #workout #fitness #fyp #motivation #workoutroutine #personaltrainer #rochester #newyork

STOP THE EGO LIFTING. ⚡️ Now there is a certain benefit to cheat curls or other cheat exercises to go past the point of strict failure. However you can put muscles and tendons at risk if not performed safely and smart. Simple exercises like a incline DB curl like this can completely isolate muscles and take out other whole muscle groups (for example the delt in other bicep curl variations) that could be used in the movement. What this also does, is it makes you go lighter! You can’t move the same weights as you would if performing a less isolated movement. Allowing for safer sets, easier on the joints, but still allocating that time under tension and muscle stimulation you would get from the others. Give it a try! Train safe, train smart, train hard. ~TAP IN ⚡️ Coaching, personal training, nutrition and other health related help visit my website www.theapexpursuitco.com

Optimizing the basics. DB pull overs are a great fundamental movement for back and even chest development. You elongate the lats and can get a great stretch and contraction. Now how can we make this movement even better? Add a band around the dumbbell and secure it to an anchor. This added band resistance will not only add weight to the movement but will apply constant tension that the dumbbell cannot do. At the top of the movement after the stretch without the band there is not tension on the lat anymore as the weight is just sitting above you. Adding the band makes sure there is constant tension applied at all ranges of the movement. Allowing for more activation, stretch and connection. Bands can be a great way to add more depth and growth to your programs! Give this one a shot!

Work smarter⚡️🧠 Using a cuff for lateral raises completely takes out an extra joint from the movement. Excluding the wrist from this lateral raise movement allows you to 1. Avoid struggling though a weaker joint (wrist) 2. Allow much more focus on the shoulder muscle itself and less on holding a dumbbell and wrist stability 3. Get the best shoulder pump on earth Give it a try next shoulder day. Do you normal dumbbell lateral raises then move over to a cable machine and attach a cuff and try the same movement. Feel the difference for yourself. It’s game changing and can bring your training IQ to the next level.
