Don't squat until you do THIS!
Published: Thu, 01/19/17
What a week!
I just got a new desk in my
home office and cleared out
a ton of books from my
bookshelf I no longer need -
and I'm feeling so productive!
The Special Strength project is
done and I have the 2017 schedule
filling up fast!
I am really excited to show you
what's coming up!
Getting to last night's workout,
I want to make sure you don't
squat again without warming
up!
We started warming up last night
at a commercial gym and I saw a
young man come in off the street,
set the bar up with plates, and start
his first set of squats at 135lbs.
Of course the technique was horrible
and the range of motion was limited,
but what do you expect when you
didn't prepare your body?
You NEED to specifically warm-up
for the exercises you will be doing in
the workout and if you don't, you're
just asking for injury!
Trust me, I know. I've been in the
gym over 30 years!
Here is a simple 1-2 punch for
warming up we used this week
before squats HERE - you can
see we're improving the range of
motion and opening up the hips!

I want you to get stronger, build a
more confident mindset, and train
for a lifetime - that is my goal.
But that isn't going to happen if
you are always skipping the warm-up!
Make it a priority!
Have a great day !
