↪️ Also, you should read “Why We Sleep” by Matthew Walker 😴💤✨

🖤Main causes: imbalanced strength ratios caused by rotator cuff weakness & improper dynamic stabilization

🖤Secondary causes: mobility restrictions poor stabilization of the scapula and thoracic spine

It’s a subtle difference with a huge impact.

Don’t forget your form when going for a heavy set
You CANNOT have a full and proper core engagement with thoracic extension and flaring the ribs.

Video on the left: NOT thinking about keep the ribs down and core engaged.

Video on the right: CONSCIOUS core engagement and actively depression the ribs.

Working on MY low back weakness and posterior chain weakness.

🍑 weighted glute bridges 🍑

Occasionally, I’ll find myself doing an exercise and just going through the motions.

I immediately stopped, braced my core, squeezed my gluteals and brought intent to the exercise.
