Overhead tricep press is one of my favourite movements for getting a deep stretch on the long head of the tricep. The problem is, a lot of my clients 40+ have some degree of shoulder impingement or limited range of motion, so the traditional version becomes painful.

Solution: set an incline bench against the cable stack, lean into it, and perform the overhead extension from this supported position. The bench takes the pressure off the shoulders and core, keeps the resistance behind the body, and still lets you get that deep stretch where it matters - in the triceps.

Shoulder-friendly. Same stimulus. Better for longevity.

Give it a try next time you’re in the gym.

Today’s session with Stella, our 10-year-old gymnastics prodigy, was all about building the foundation for athletic performance.

We put her through a full-body training session with a specific focus on explosivity, stability, strength and control.

For gymnastics, it’s not just about being flexible or learning the next skill. It’s about developing the physical attributes that allow young athletes to perform those skills safely and effectively.

We focused on developing explosive power, improving overall body stability, and strengthening key areas like the ankles and wrists. These joints play an important role in gymnastics, where balance, landing mechanics, weight-bearing and body control are essential.

At Mindful Wellness Project, we believe that developing young athletes means more than simply putting them through a workout. It means understanding the demands of their sport and building the strength, coordination and physical resilience to support their development.

The goal is simple: build a stronger, more capable athlete while keeping training age-appropriate, purposeful and fun.

Great work today, Stella. Keep pushing those limits!

Walked into Realm Fitness this morning and found a new addition to the floor… the Panatta Total Press!

Now that’s something to get excited about.

If you’re serious about chest development and hypertrophy, having quality equipment that allows you to train through a controlled, effective range of motion makes a difference.

What I like about the Panatta Total Press is its converging pressing movement, designed to follow a more natural pressing path while allowing you to focus on loading and recruiting the pectoral muscles.

A few things that make this machine worth getting excited about:

* Chest development: Excellent tool for targeting the pectorals.
* Converging movement: The pressing arms move along a natural converging path.
* Controlled resistance: Allows you to focus on tension, ex*****on and muscular contraction.
* Hypertrophy training: Another great option for building strength, muscle and overall chest development.

Of course, equipment doesn’t build muscle by itself. Exercise selection, biomechanics, proper ex*****on, progressive overload and programming are what make the difference.

That’s why I’m always excited to see quality equipment arrive at Realm Fitness. More tools, more opportunities to train intelligently and more ways to get results.

If you’re in Calgary and looking for personalized strength training, bodybuilding or hypertrophy coaching, come see what we do at Mindful Wellness Project, training at Realm Fitness.

Train with purpose. Build with intention.

Today was all about introducing the ladies from the River Valley Group to a different side of fitness!

Brad, Twila and I had the pleasure of putting on a group fitness introduction course at Realm Fitness, where we welcomed these wonderful ladies into the world of strength training with Mindful Wellness Project.

These ladies are no strangers to fitness. They’re cardio junkies who know how to get their heart rates up and put in the work. But what many of them hadn’t fully understood was how to properly lift weights, why strength training matters, and how it can transform their fitness journey.

Today, that changed.

We introduced them to the fundamentals of strength training, proper movement, technique, and the importance of building strength for long-term health, performance, and quality of life.

Cardio has its place, but strength training is something every woman should have in her fitness routine. Building muscle, strengthening bones, improving balance, and maintaining independence as we age are just a few of the incredible benefits.

The best part? Watching these ladies step outside their comfort zones, learn something new, and start to understand what their bodies are truly capable of.

A huge thank you to the River Valley Group for joining us today. Brad, Twila and I had a fantastic time working with you, and we look forward to seeing you all again!

At Mindful Wellness Project, we believe fitness is about more than just burning calories. It’s about building strength, confidence, and a better quality of life.

If your group is ready to take the next step in its fitness journey, we’d love to work with you.

YOUR AGE IS NOT AN EXCUSE. IT’S A REASON TO TRAIN.

The older we get, the more important it becomes to take our health, strength, and physical well-being seriously.

Strength training isn’t just about building muscle or looking good. It’s about maintaining the strength, mobility, and independence that allow us to live life on our own terms.

At Mindful Wellness Project, I work with people of all ages. But if there’s one group I want to see taking their training seriously, it’s the 40-plus crowd.

You don’t need to train like you’re 20. You need to train intelligently, consistently, and with a plan that works for your body.

I’ve spent 30 years coaching athletes, bodybuilders, and everyday people. And one thing I’ve learned is that it’s never too late to start building a stronger version of yourself.

Don’t just get older. Get stronger.

If you’re in Calgary and ready to take your training seriously, let’s talk.

This is one of my favourite ways to row on this Maxpump machine.

Most people treat machine rows like a fixed path and lose the stretch that actually builds the lat. I set this up so it feels closer to a free-weight dumbbell row - shoulder free to drop and open, lat allowed to fully lengthen at the bottom, then pull through the elbow while keeping tension on the back the entire time.

Why I like it: The open design lets my back stay dynamic instead of locked against a pad. Because of how mobile my shoulders are, that freedom lets me open the lat further and keep the tension where it belongs instead of dumping it into my hands and forearms.

The key points I coach on this: • Let the shoulder drop and stretch forward at the bottom - that’s where the lat opens most:

• Drive the elbow back, not just yank the handle

• Keep tension on the lat the whole way. How far you go back only matters if the muscle is still loaded

• Most people turn this into a forearm exercise. Don’t.

Range of motion is only useful if the tension stays on the muscle you’re trying to train. Full stretch → strong contraction → controlled return. That’s the game.

Calgary - if you want coaching that actually teaches you how to feel and load the right muscles instead of just moving weight, come train with me at Realm Fitness in Inglewood or reach out through Mindful Wellness Project.

Developing Prodigy Athletes Starts With Strength Training.

Some kids are born with incredible athletic ability. They have the speed, coordination, natural talent, and drive that set them apart from the competition.

But natural talent is only part of the equation.

Strength training plays an important role in helping young athletes maximize their potential, improve performance, and build the foundation to stay safer as they progress in their sports.

At Mindful Wellness Project, we believe that developing young athletes goes beyond practicing their sport.

Properly structured, age-appropriate strength training can help them:

* Develop strength, balance, and coordination.
* Improve speed, power, and athletic performance.
* Build better movement mechanics and body control.
* Develop physical resilience and reduce the risk of sports-related injuries.
* Establish a foundation for long-term athletic development.

Whether they’re competing in hockey, soccer, basketball, gymnastics, or any other sport, the goal is to build athletes who are not only talented today but physically prepared for the demands of tomorrow.

Strength training isn’t about making kids bigger. It’s about making them stronger, more capable, and more confident in their abilities.

Talent gets them noticed. Proper athletic development helps them reach their potential.
