Not everyone’s hip anatomy allows for heels-to-butt depth while squatting…but everyone should be training in a way to reach their own specific full depth while squatting- this means improving your mobility!

Want to jump higher? Work on: Hip Mobility & Foot/Ankle Strength From this, I gained 7” on my vertical in 8 weeks. It doesn’t happen to everyone, but it might for you. Even if it doesn’t, it’s a guaranteed way to reduce injury risk. So it’s either a win, or a win-win.

Pain somewhere in your body? Don’t forget to look at the joints above and below the cite of pain! Example: knee pain Assess your hip and ankle, the source might be there!

A rule you should live by when at the Gym: You’re only competing with yourself. Don’t worry about the others there, just focus on getting yourself better!

Not every day will be a complete day of growth - you’ll have “off days.” The difference between great athletes and good athletes are those who understand this and still make the most of their “off days.”

Plateaued in your lifts? Try these two things: 1. Check at your mobility. 2. Check your core stability. If either have deficits - it means you’re leaving a lot in the tank. Working on them will break you out of your plateau.

Back on the mound for game 2 @CreeksideBase. Picked up another @MidwestBruins1 win allowing 3 hits, 1 earned run, 3 Ks and 0 BBs.

Want to reduce your risk of a hamstring injury? Start doing controlled exercises through full range (like standing hamstring curls) - don’t let other muscles take over (like your back during Nordic curls).

Try this - add just a few Mobility exercises to your warm-up routine…ideally exercises involving rotation…over time I think you’ll be surprised how much it helps.

Our body is 70% water…so why are athletes are chronically dehydrated? Good hydration leads to better performance, better recovery, better sleep, better concentration, etc. How much water is enough? Your weight in lbs divided by 2 = ounces of water you should drink each day.

Most hamstring injuries are either from muscle dysfunction or a load management issue…sometimes both. To address load issue: start looking at the way you’re treating your hamstrings. Doing sprint workouts every day is a one way route to injury. The hammies need rest days, too!

Happy 4th of July!

Shin Splints? Try this: 1.Tibialis Posterior exercises 2.Foot intrinsic exercises (toe exercises) 3.Big Toe curls Over time, these will help relieve the pressure and tension that’s being placed on your shin bone (tibia)

Sleep is just as important for gains in the weight room as the exercises you choose while in the weight room. Sleep health is crucial, and consistency is key!

Strength - the amount of force muscles can produce Flexibility - the range in which muscles can stretch Mobility - the ability to use your strength through full flexible range Strength and Flexibility are important, yes, but Mobility is key!
