Glutes are no different. Think origin to insertion

Glutes are no different. Think origin to insertion. Don't thrust the hips forward. Pull the top of your glutes to the insertion "gluteal fold". Bands are great to add resistance here, but not if you start "air humping" the band instead of contracting your glutes.

Don't over achieve in the 45 degree extension. Whe

Don't over achieve in the 45 degree extension. When you reach the point where the glutes are contracting as hard as they can, thats the end. Doing extra often results in a low back pump and premature ending of the sets or even whole session. The goal is not getting your body parallel, its getting as short as you can with your bodyweight. As you get stronger, and your nervous system adapts to better stabilize your pelvis, parallel will come.

To get the most quad work out of your hack squats,

To get the most quad work out of your hack squats, you'll want to set up to get maximum knee flexion (top half of calf touching hamstring). This means that stance width, height on the platform, and degree of external rotation will all be important to make sure you don't run out of range at the ankle or hip too early.
- - -
Watch the video above as Coach @cjmoxley gives the quick breakdown of finding your personal stance width and height on the platform.
- - -
The height of your feet will be determined by your ankle mobility. Going lower will allow you to bias the quads more, but for maximum stability, don't go so low that your heels come off the platform when you get to full knee flexion.
- - -
The width depends on your hip mobility and active range of hip flexion (how much hip flexion you can get without your low back rounding or coming off the back pad). Only go as wide as you need so that you don't run out of hip flexion before knee flexion. Don't go wider or you'll compromize the glutes' ability to engage and stabilize the pelvis.

If you want to truly give an all out effort and go

If you want to truly give an all out effort and go to failure, your best option is choosing a safe and stable exercise. Don't let the failure of stabilizing muscles be the limiting factor.
- - -
Coordination and execution are going to fail before your muscles will. Especially if using complex movements that require a lot of internal stability.
- - -
Selecting exercises that provide a lot of external stability (help you brace and keep things from moving that shouldn't) will be your best opportunity to take the target muscles to true failure and give you the chance to test your mental willpower when giving an all out effort.
- - -
Keep this in mind when working with new clients who may not have the discipline or execution to stay safe in less stable exercises. This is the chance to work hard without risking injury.

Are you getting your carbs right? Carbohydrates m

Are you getting your carbs right?

Carbohydrates may not be technically an “essential macronutrient” because our body does have ways of creating its own glucose from amino acids (gluconeogenesis).
HOWEVER, they ARE essential if your goal is to optimize performance, body composition, and recovery from resistance training.

The trick is matching the right amount of carbohydrates to the stimulus of the training. This is where some people don’t just miss the boat - they’re in another lake. Especially when it comes to metabolic training.

There are times and situations where a zero carb or extreme carb-cycle approach may be beneficial for certain individuals. However, attempting to follow a zero-carb or simply insufficient carbohydrates can not only be a hindrance to your rate of progress but a detriment to your recovery and performance, resulting in you ending up further from your goal.

This is why it is not just about “high carb”, “low carb”, or “no carb”, but more accurately the right amount of carbohydrates for the person, their goal, and the training stimulus.

Want a full breakdown on carb intake for metabolic training, hypertrophy training, and neurological training? We’ve got a swipe up to our full article in our IG story - or search “carbs” on our site through the link in our bio to find the Matching Nutrition to Training article!

Finish hip extension with driving the butt down, or posterior tilt of the pelvis to fully shorten the glute. There is no benefit to lifting the torso any higher than where you glutes can take it. If you try and overachieve on movement you will underachieve on tension in the glutes.
