Smith Machine Split Squat:

Here is our client Martine completing a set of Smith Machine Split Squat at 140lbs for 10 reps!

One thing we focus on with Martine is her foot placement. By keeping her front foot far enough forward we can create roughly a 90degree knee angle at the bottom of the movement and find a position that feels comfortable on her knees.

The Smith Machine also gives her some added stability allowing her to focus on controlling the movement, driving through the front leg, and progressively getting stronger.

Changing your body position can change where you feel the most tension during an exercise.

With incline lateral raises:
• You start with more tension on the lateral delts
• The incline helps minimize momentum
• It encourages a controlled range of motion
• Keep a slight bend in the elbows and think about driving your elbows out

Here is our client Kyle completing a set of T-bar Rows

This is a chest-supported free weight machine providing added stability

Client Spotlight 🚨

Rohin putting in the work with Zottman curls! 💪

This variation is great for building both biceps and forearm strength while improving grip and control.

A few key reminders:

* Keep your elbows tucked by your sides.
* Rotate your wrists at the top.
* Lower the weight slowly and under control.
* Focus on quality reps over heavier weight.

Great work, Rohin! Keep it up! 👏

🚨 Client Spotlight 🚨

Here’s Caitlin crushing 155 lbs for 10 reps on the RDL with great form!

The Romanian Deadlift is one of the best exercises for building strength in the glutes, hamstrings, and lower back, but proper technique is key.

A few essentials to remember:
• Push the hips back
• Control the eccentric (lowering) phase
• Keep a flat, neutral spine
• Brace and breathe properly

Strong, controlled reps from start to finish. Great work, Caitlin! 💪

Gurjit started with us 6 weeks ago, and is already making amazing progress❗️

The two videos shown are during her sets of:
