Real coaching looks like:
🗣 say it
👀 show it
✋ guide it
🔁 repeat it… a lot

Sometimes it may feel like the same things are being said and fixed over and over, but that’s because our bodies learn by repetition and pattern. The more you do something and work to correct it, eventually you’ll be doing it properly without thinking through every step.

We call it tough love ♥️

After you’ve learned form and built a base…..it’s time to pick up the heavier weights because those muscles aren’t going to build themselves! taken in Iron Knight Gym by @nikkijoybaker

Sometimes it’s not that the movement isn’t good, maybe you just need to do it a bit different to enjoy it!

Your Squat starts before you actually do the squat. One of the common faults we see is a lot of people don’t take time withe their setup or unrack.

Unracking with a staggered stance will put you in an asymmetrical starting position as you go to unrack. This prevents you from stabilizing your core, setting your brace, and properly engaging your lats.

Setting up properly with your feet under the bar evenly and your hips under the bar, you will be setup to continue your setup and the squat most effectively.

If this is something you’ve been struggling with or maybe never knew about the squat, drop a comment below or reach out to inquire about improving your squat in person with one of our coaches. taken in Iron Knight Gym by @nikkijoybaker

It’s the oldest saying in the fitness book: You have to be disciplined because motivation won’t last.

Actually, you can be motivated to do many things for a long time, it’s discipline that will be the key that helps you keep pushing through to the finish line on days when motivation isn’t there. On days when you’re too tired, not in the mood to show up, low on energy, maybe a bit stressed from life….. it’s normal and no one is saying you always have to show up when you really are struggling BUT you need to show up more often than not. Eventually your motivation will fade and excuses add up. Suck it up buttercup and turn your discipline on 💪🏼 by @nikkijoybaker

I use to not enjoy upper body workouts because I felt like there weren’t a ton of exercise selections (or ones I enjoyed) but now it’s my favorite training day 💪🏼 these are some pretty spicy editions that will be showing up frequently taken in Port Saint Lucie, Florida by @nikkijoybaker

All jokes but someone told me my back had abs yesterday and I was just so flattered 🤣 if my stomach is going to keep them hidden then I guess I’ll keep building my posterior abs 🤣 taken in Iron Knight Gym by @nikkijoybaker

Wish this thing existed 1049838 years ago when I was learning pull-ups because the simplicity of setting it up and getting into, as well as feeling it help on the toughest part of the movement while still forcing you to use your own strength to finish it is going to be awesome for folks working towards accomplishing their first pull-up!

Was tempted to add the 4th bungee but I 100% would’ve went flying 😂 taken in Florida, USA by @nikkijoybaker
