3 years ago I did my Level 1 Animal Flow certification with master instructor @rich_scrivener in person.

This past weekend we met once again at an amazing get together in Portugal thanks to @_joannabutler_ and managed to get in a quick flow together.

An absolute pleasure Rich. You are a true gent and an awesome example of movement precision.

Until next time…

Back pain from too much sitting and inactivity sucks and will kill your energy and progress in the gym.

A lot of these issues stem from weak glutes, tight hips and lack of space between your spinal column.

So try this mobility and stability sequence to unlock your spine and strengthen your core and glutes.

Stay mobile and ferocious friends🔥

Coach Eric 😉👊🏻

An absolute Quad Killer if you dare… by @ericghiggins

Some days it feels great to lift weights and build strength in a straight line💪🏻

But other days it feels great to flow barefoot on the ground.

Exploring different levels of strength, mobility and balance through continuous motion.

So don’t get caught in that trap of training the same way each day.

Mix up the energy systems being hit, the ranges of motion you go through and explore new skills that are fun and engage you on a different level.

If you want my help to explore your new levels of potential, then drop me a DM.

Time to hit those upper pecs, shoulders, core and hips with a tasty low cable crossover.

I hate pec flys on the bench as it puts tonnes of pressure on the narrow space of the anterior shoulder capsule.

But cables…

Literally one of my favourite tools to use to hit the body in a functional way.

Remember no matter what you do, intensity is your friend.

Minimise your rest periods and aim to challenge yourself on every set.

If you want average results, then look at what most people do in your gym. Crazy long rest periods, doomscrolling and low intensity.

A good test after your training is that your towel should be wet when you finish.

Knees, hips or lower back feeling sore after your barbell squats?

Then you probably need to fix your range of motion and stability from the ground up.

Check out the link in my bio for my full squat tutorial video on YouTube.

Some days it’s best not to work ‘out’, but instead work ‘in’.

Building life force energy through deep breath work and range of motion, rather than depleting energy on a hard session.

My body was extra tight today, but after a few minutes of Ashtanga on the roof in the sunshine, I could feel a deep sense of power and awareness come back to me.

Having simple daily movement disciplines is a powerful way to calm a racing mind and reduce any stress that’s getting in your way.

There are different gears to be explored in life and in your training. So pay attention to what you really need each day.

Become highly skilled at assessing your vitality level each day without any app or gadget.

If you’re under recovered and force yourself to train hard regardless, you may cause an injury due to an over exerted nervous system.

Remember to always ask permission to move. Don’t force it. It’s a priceless machine.

If you want lasting body composition changes, you need intensity.

And when you’re bored with isolation exercises and want to hit more than just arms, the double biceps cable curl is a beast.

Get your ass outta that fixed point machine and work your core with every exercise.

You will feel the difference with every rep.

Strict overhead pressing is one of the foundational strength movements we should be working on.

Kettlebells are a great example of this and can be much more functional than a barbell for anyone who has had shoulder instability.

But once that bad boy goes overhead, there is always that element of risk, especially if you’re not locked in and stacked correctly.

If you want to take your kettlebell conditioning to the next level, drop over to my new YouTube channel where I break down one of legends of kettlebell strength training, the Hardstyle Clean and Press.

Link is in my bio 👆🏻
