Ez curl bar Front Raises with @core_muscle_activation

Isolate the muscle or get things working together , this is what Eric and I discussed while he put me to work through these sets of front raises.

Listen carefully to how he explains the movement, and try his cues. As soon as I went from lifting the bar up and down to thinking about trying to squeeze the bar together in the middle and push in with the delts and chest my muscle fibres lit up. Genius.

Give it a try and let me know what you think in the comments.

All my clients get ready , this is the tip of the iceberg. The point of a very large wedge.

Straight arm cable pull downs with @core_muscle_activation

Once again Eric sharing some of his infinite wisdom with me, we spent a fair bit of time working through these and I can’t wait to show my clients new ways to hit the serrates muscle.

Straight Arm Cable Pulldown for Serrates

This one is all about getting the shoulder blade moving properly around the rib cage.

Keep the arms mostly straight with a soft bend in the elbows.

Hip hinge , get long and drive the legs and heels forward through the floor.

Reach long at the top and let the shoulder blades move.

As you pull down, think about wrapping the shoulder blades around the rib cage instead of just pulling with your lats.

Keep the ribs down and core tight.

Control the movement and actually feel the serratus doing the work.

Please enjoy watching me suffer through this set. :)

Rear Delt Flys with @core_muscle_activation part 2

Sometimes doing these movements unilaterally opens up a whole different level of stimulus.

The key is not letting either side rest and keep the tension on even when the other shoulder seemed to be doing the work.

Figure out ways to challenge yourself, with enough practice and experience on any given machine you will find ways to connect mind to muscle and get the most out of a movement. That’s why I always preach progressive overload and keeping constant with a program and not hopping from program to program switching movements every week.

Eric and I will be working together a bunch more to bring you even more tips cues and progressions to take your workouts to the next level.

Rear Delt Flys with @core_muscle_activation

Eric can take a movement most people have been doing for years, tweak it and make you feel like it’s the first time you have done them.

Here we are going through some rear felt flys. I am trying to concentrate on getting wide and pushing out instead of just driving the arms back. Hips back core tight and reaching at the starting position to get the stretch.

Watch this , try it and implement it in your workouts. I will always keep learning and brining you useful content to make muscle building even efficient and fun.

Newtech standing lateral raise is my new favourite machine for shoulders.

However any standing lateral raise machine is a top notch way to build your shoulders. Far superior to dumbbells in my opinion.

Like @core_muscle_activation is showing me once you line up your shoulders with the pivot point of the arms so you can get full range of motion, you can take things one step further and respect the weight and keep the tension on the muscles by working unilaterally and really pushing your shoulders to the limit.

Honestly more gyms need a standing lateral raise machine, when I walk into a gym and see one , it gives me confidence instantly and I know I’m about to get a a good pump and workout (regardless of what day it is) I just know who ever buys the machines , knows what they are doing. Atlantis standing lateral raise is also a great machine.

Look at my legs shaking. And that face I’m making, you know I’m at work.

That’s the signal. When your body is in the right position and you’re actually driving the right movement, the shake shows up. That’s the sign you’re working, not just going through the motions.

Eric @core_muscle_activation took me through some brutal core work here, and the details are everything. You position the body, push hard against the handles, and pre-crunch the abs before you even start the leg lifts. That pre-crunch is the key. It loads the abs under tension first, so every leg lift is fighting from a dead-set position instead of swinging on momentum.

Then the tweak that lit me up: one leg slightly higher than the other. Here’s why it works. Your core isn’t one flat sheet. Your abs are built to work left and right together AND independently. So the second you offset the body and make one side account for something different than the other, you change the whole stimulus. Same movement, completely different fight.

Give it a shot and watch your legs shake like mine.

Develop your core.

YOU NEED REST DAYS PERIOD.

They’re part of the program.

You train to create the stimulus.
You rest to recover, adapt and grow.

More training isn’t always more progress.

Train hard. Recover harder. Come back ready to perform.

How many rest days do you take each week?

#restday #toronto #coaching #hypertrophy

***Training, especially eccentric loading (the lowering portion) and novel or high-tension work, causes micro-damage to the muscle fibers: small disruptions to the Z-lines and sarcomeres, and stress on the surrounding connective tissue. That damage triggers an inflammatory and signaling response (satellite cells get recruited, protein synthesis ramps up), and the repair process is what leads to the fiber adapting, getting bigger and more resilient. So the gym is the stimulus, not the growth itself.
