, have you ever made it deep into your workou
program, only to run into a wall and plateau. To ensure you are always progressing, utilize the following 3 techniques.
Master Moverment.
We like to say it right, it's not always what you do, but how you do it.
Mastering your hip hinge movement (such as in KB swings and squating) can help you really get much more out of every movement. Mastering that hinge will help you better activate your booty, lower back and hamstrings.
Improving shoulder mobility will help you get a lot more out of your pressing and pulling movements. Limited shoulder mobility can decrease muscle activation in the chest, triceps, upper and mid back muscles, and of course your delts.
Bear crawls, frog hops, and various planking movements are the ultimate when it comes to body control. Looking great is awesome, but if you can't move around and have fun with it then what's the point right?
Perfect Pace
Changing the pace at which you lift can help you get a better burn, build more lean muscle and melt some fat. for instance on a Stiff Leg Deadlift, lower the weight slowly for a count of 4-5, then explode up as fast as you can.
During the negative of this movement you are super strong so it's a great time to take advantage. Slowing down will increase your time under tension and give your muscles more work over the course of an hour.
Reduce Rest
This is easliy achieved by utilizing supersets, trisets, and dropsets. Once again you will give your muscles more time under tension and increase your work load over time.
