The Floor Press is a great accessory lift for any chest/shoulder workout, especially if you have been battling shoulder pain.

Most people with pain on the front of their shoulder feel increased pain when they bring their elbow past their side.

With a floor press the ground acts as your safety bar and keeps you out of that painful range of motion.

Restricting range of motion, and having to control your speed throughout the lift will allow you to train heavier and at a higher intensity than a regular bench press would while you are hurting.

A strong Bench Press starts with a proper set up. I’ve had multiple clients talk to me lately about experiencing pain in the front of their shoulder while benching.

Now before I start giving out random drills or other forms of treatment I want to see how their lift starts.

Check list:
1. Laying on the bench pull your feet underneath you and actively press into the ground.
2. Push yourself up onto your upper back. Picture trying to get up on your upper traps or the upper portion of your shoulder blades.
3. Hands at shoulder width distance or just slightly wider.
4. You should feel constant tension from your feet to your arms throughout the entire lift. “Like a spring”

If you’d like to keep training and not worry about that nagging pain in the gym. Message us today and see how we can help!

If you experience wrist pain when working out or even picking things up, you may be lacking wrist mobility. To extend your wrist, you need your two carpal bones to glide over one another.

Lack of wrist extension will lead to compensation at your elbow and higher up your arm.

To improve your wrist extension, try the stretch above. Work it daily, or before your next workout!

If you are tired of pain limiting you in the gym, message us “Training” and see how we can help you.

Oh the hip flexors! One of the most abused groups of muscles. Often blamed for being tight from the everyday desk worker to the avid runner. But they do so much more than just get tight.

The hip flexor muscle group help bring your knee up to your chest during walking/running, provide stability to your pelvis and help control forces through your lower back.

With all these pivotal rolls it’s important to load and strengthen these muscles to feel your best and move your best!

Above you’ll see an example of 4 exercises you can add to your weekly routine to build stronger hips!

If you’d like help getting back to exercise or you are tired of your hip hurting messaged his “HIPS” and let’s talk.

Most people walk around with their heads resting out in front of their body. This leads to poor to almost no use of your smaller neck flexor muscles and over use of your bigger neck muscles such as your Sternocleidomastoid (SCM), Scalenes, and upper trapezius muscles.

Your SCM runs from the back of your skull to your collar bones and can be a common cause of neck pain, trigger points and can cause a muscular referral for Tinnitus!

Give this stretch a try. 1-2 rounds of 30 seconds to a minute long holds on each side and find that relief you’ve been searching for!

Did you know that one of the reason your overhead presses, or your squats are suffering is because your thoracic spine is stiff?

Our society is built to put us in a rounded posture for the majority of the day. As such, many of us often lose the mobility to fully extend through our spine.

In the gym if we cant extend you may feel like you struggle to keep your chest up while squatting. When you go to press overhead you may feel pain in the front of your shoulder or even in the lower back as you try to compensate around this lack of mobility!

Try this warm up in the gym for your next workout. Grab a medicine or plyoball and hold it tight to your chest. Prop your heels up on a ledge or plate and sit into a squat. Gently rotate between rounding your torso and extending up to the ceiling. Perform 1-2 minutes!
