This tricep exercise has two major advantages. 1)

It is not necessary to go to failure on every set.

It is not necessary to go to failure on every set. In fact, you shouldn't. You don't even necessarily have to go to failure in every workout.
- - -
But when you do go to to failure, go all the way. Nothing left. Every muscle fiber is done and ounce of willpower spent.

Keep your knees happy and make sure you are set up

Keep your knees happy and make sure you are set up correctly in the leg extension.
- - -
❌ Don't sit too far forward that your knees are in front of or behind the pivot point of the machine
- - -
✅ Adjust your seat so that the pivot point is directly beside your knee joint.
- - -
When you're set up properly, the leg pad should be providing resistance perpendicular to your shin the entire range of motion.
- - -
Bonus Tip: Keep your knees facing forward the entire time. Don't let your knees roll in or out during the rep.

How do you manage training to failure with online

How do you manage training to failure with online clients?
- - -
One of the most important would have to be EDUCATION. Since you’re not there in person, it can be more challenging to make sure your clients are executing the program as you intended it.
- - -
Educating them makes a tremendous difference. When they know why they’re doing what they’re doing in their programming, they learn how to autoregulate their training and how to manage failure on their own.
- - -
We would be bad coaches if we didn’t TEACH our clients to be excellent trainees who don’t need hand-holding. When they have a deeper understanding on how to achieve a proper stimulus a certain way, the better their results will be - and results are why we’re all here, right?
- - -
When is the right time and application to use one of these methods in a client’s program to get the results intended?

The N1 coaches had an in-depth discussion on the topic of managing failure in a video we’ve linked in our IG story today. Or, you can visit the website through the link in our bio and search “managing failure” in our Articles & Videos section!

To fully stretch the hamstrings in an RDL, follow

To fully stretch the hamstrings in an RDL, follow these two steps (and avoid 1 thing).
1. Focus on pushing the hips back and letting the pelvis rotate
2. Once your hips stop going back, contract the rectus femoris (quadricep that crosses the hip) like you are trying to pull your thigh to your stomach
- - -
DO NOT elevate the toes. This does nothing to stretch the hamstring. It only stretches the gastrocnemius (calves) which are needed to stabilize the knee. It does not increase tension in the hamstrings at all.

Keep the spine neutral and fixed (don’t allow flexion/extension during the rep)

Basic Tips & Action Steps for Troubleshooting Dige

Basic Tips & Action Steps for Troubleshooting Digestion
- - -
Gut health can be a very complex topic, but here are some basics you can consider if you are experiencing issues:
❎ Training - Excessive volume or pushing certain training stimuli without proper nutrition can potentially create or exacerbate gut issues.

❎ Life stress - A chronic elevation of stress hormones begins to cause other hormonal imbalances which can have an effect on both your gut health and body composition.

❎ Food quality - Avoiding highly processed foods with lots of additives like preservatives, artificial sweeteners, partially hydrogenated fats (trans fats), etc can be very positive for your gut health overall.

❎ Supplement quality - Fillers or poor quality products (like rancid fish oil) can wreak havoc on your digestive tract either acutely or cumulatively. Just because a company is popular, doesn’t mean they’re high quality.
- - -
*Note: If you are experiencing serious problems with digestion, this is not a substitute for working with a licensed professional, but these are some starting points to potentially rule out.

The DB preacher curl technially provides the most

There is nothing wrong with doing a wide grip pull

There is nothing wrong with doing a wide grip pulldown with your chest up, unless your goal is the to target the lats. In fact the cues for an actual lat pulldown are the exact opposite. Sternum pulled down and arm path in front of the body, elbows pulled in tight.
.
To get the most out of this upper back exercise, you drive the elbows out, then down, and finish with trying to pull them in behind you, emphasizing that rotation of the scapula more than retractation.
.
You can do this with the standard Wide bar, however you will find the arm path is easier to achieve and the range of motion greater if you have free handles, or dual handles on a @primefitnessusa long bar.

Exercises that allow you to get in the fully short

Exercises that allow you to get in the fully shortened position against load can be one of the best places to work on intensity of contraction. Someone that can do twice their body weight in a glute bridge should still be able to contract with incredible intensity with a lighter load in that shortened position. This is a great place to teach mind a muscle connection to then apply to heavier loads. You can also use these contractions when the goal is less load and mechanical work and more metabolic work.
