SIMPLE ISN'T SEXY

Want to move, look & feel savage❓️

Recipe isn't actually that complicated - pretty simple really 👀

Trouble is "simple is never easy or sexy"❗

Although "basics" are subjective to individual here's an example of how to prepare for a strength session (in particular deadlift)

At AIM we use these regularly throughout our programming to teach & prep 🙃

➡️ Hinge walk: hami, glutes & lower back
➡️ Banded lats: lighting up lats
➡️ Cossack (vari): glute & quad stimulation
➡️ Deadbugs: breath & coordination

This of course isn't be all or end all 😅

We use different variations/iterations of these movements but the concept remains the same - make the basics non negotiable

Regardless of movement the attention is on how to refine (connect), collect information (assess) & prep the body for what's ahead 😊

P.S. This takes people anywhere from 6min to 10min to do x2 sets

P.P.S. To those wondering if these impact our gainz - I wouldn't worry 😉

ORGANISED CHAOS

Good people doing their personal work 🙃

Only reason this works is becuase we have a working language along with clear roadmap of where & how to execute on our intentions 😅

Everyone has different needs & wants but the ultimate goal is to be strong, supple and savage 🙃

PREP YOURSELF

Here's a quick example of how to get preparatory work in before an upper body strength session 🙃

Thinking is simple...

Do the non-negotiables at the start which will help stimulate & prime us for the session ahead while also helping us develop long term 🙌

This process takes us about 10-15 minutes after which individuals start doing their main strength piece 👊

IT SUCKS❗️

There often confusion about blending bodyweight movements, flexibility & weight training❓

Everyone knows all these are important

But there's so many options: methods, systems, modalities, disciplines & etc

Sorta sucks trying to decipher it all huh⁉️

This is why we started AIM coaches development program

To teach coaches by making them do the work + educate them the why, how & what behind blending strength & movement 🙃

Excited for our upcoming CDP foundation program on the 17th July - want more info reach out 🙌

PASSIVE OR ACTIVE 🤷🏾‍♂️

These terminologies are super common when we're looking to develop flexibility 🙃

There's also static & dynamic but we can talk about them in the future 😉

Quick low down...

Passive eludes to letting go or staying relaxed while active eludes to holding on or generating energy 😅

Take the front split being worked as an example...

First variation is focused around building active strength then we finish with passive state 😉

Individuals will respond differently to these state of work but both styles are important if we want to develop long term 👊

MONDAY MOVEMENT

Strength, length & health...

It's no secret we love cossack squats for lowerbody development 🙃

While we implement tonnes of bodyweight variations to get people started, eventually we end up loading these up 😅

Now intention here isn't about setting PB with load but rather using external load to reinforce ranges available ✊️

Last slide is a quick movement tutorial covering 3 different loading strategies - we'll send out the full tutorial to the email list this afternoon 😉

SUPPLE SAVAGERY

Doesn't mean getting divorce from strength work 😳

Few simple work towards building hip flexibility or middle-split work (if you're into that kind of things 😅)

1️⃣ Bent knee abduction
2️⃣ Active middle-splits
3️⃣ Horsestance (step variation)
4️⃣ Seated piriformis stretch

First 2 movements might need a little more experience & exposure before hitting them while anyone can implement variations of the last 2 movements 🙃

Happy hips ✊️

PARAMOUNT PREPARATION

Preparing ourselves❗️

It's something that shouldn't be left out of our program or practice - period

Preaparing the body before we exert or put stress on it should be everyone's priority - warming up, opening, priming, greasing the groove or any other terminology we want to use 👀

Preparatory work makes sure to stimulate (not annihilate) us so we can be more effcient and effective while help mitigating injuries 🙃

This process can take anywhere from 10min to 20min depending on the variety of work and demand it puts on the body 😉

TEACHING VS COACHING

These are very much intertwined but there is a difference 🙃

Teaching is more of a 1 way street where we're sharing knowledge or information - this is why it's integral to have strong, clear & well articulated communication 😅

Coaching is more of a 2 way street where we get to collaborate to contextualise to deepen, refine & evolve our knowledge 😉

Here a glimpse into lil' Phil teach this overhead variation of long step 🔥
