Every man lives in two realms: the internal and the external.-MLK As a trainer/coach we are given the job to help our clients perform movements correctly and safely within the parameters that we have set. How do we go about doing so and what is the most efficient way of completing this task. The research states that external cues are far more beneficial in adherence/execution in comparison to internal cues but to me there is a time and place for both. ... What we have here is the Double Barrel RC-P90 Landmine Shoulder Press. It’s Power Weapons or nothing in the multiplayer (Malisa and I). Get outta here with that DD44 Dostovei, Autoshot or Magnum!!! Had to throw that in there for those that get the reference but now back to it. Internal Cue: -Brace your core -Squeeze your glutes External Cue: -You are about to get kicked in the stomach by Jackie Chan in Rumble in the Bronx -You are walking down the Lakeshore in your costume (Caribana), speaker from the big truck pumpin’ and a stormer wants to move YOU out of the way. Time to firm up EVERYTHING! What do you think worked best? It is certainly worth a try with your own training. If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.-MLK To a man that brought forth love, hope and inspiration to many. Happy MLK Day

Have a blessed day

Malisa: Have you bought a new piece of clothing this year? When was the last time you bought something new? Fix up!! Me: No, but I have this Nautica pullover from 2005. Do you know what this thing has seen. It is about to a Rear Foot Elevated Split Squat with some Kettlebells in a front racked position. Apparel: Top: Nautica Pullover-Fashion Outlets 2005 Bottom: Canisius grey joints with the bottom eat up eat up-KAC 2005 ... A lunge is where an individual moves in space whether it be forward, backward or to the side. What we have here is a split squat stationary in nature. I have opted to use kettlebells in a front racked position do to the fact that this enables me to provide an added exposure to my abdominal region that otherwise would not have been stressed to the same degree if I simply held the weights beside my body. At home a small table or a stair will be sufficient in providing a suitable elevation for your rear foot to mimic this movement. Hol’ Up Ya Foot & Split Squat

Welcome the new addition to the PHF family. (I may not be able to do as much as I would like to, I‘m not strong enough just yet to accomplish such a feat, give me another chance to do better) Doesn’t the above sentiments sound similar to how 2020 treated many of us. Rest-assured by the end of 2021 God willing of course I will be able to do much more, stronger then present day and have been given the opportunity to do right by my family, friends, PHF community and of course th...ese 100LBS plates.

It’s interesting how I can remember specific quotes from my childhood but ask me where I parked at the grocery store and it might take me a minute. You want Bonneville, I give you Bonneville. @drmannykumar Not an exquisite or limited edition car by any means but it certainly did the job for many years. From point A to point B was the objective and that is exactly what it delivered. It served its purpose!... The same can be said about the Field of Dreams Concept 2 Model A Rower. The first model manufactured by Concept 2 in 1983. It does not have the extensive programs, definitely is not as smooth/ergonomic as the newer models in its function but for me this model reflects much of how I see training and PHF. -Dynamic Horizontal pull -Ankle/Knee/Hip work simultaneously in order to perform an efficient movement pattern -A great teaching tool for an individual struggling to display force through their feet -Provides another exposure to the upper back that is often neglected Pops goin’ back back back

J and J Records Machine Kneeling Squat I find this particular movement where the weight used is on a fixed path quite beneficial in teaching an individual how to hinge correctly. There is much less moving parts=less THINGS to worry about with regard to stance and overall alignment of the body. This also serves as a great movement to promote healthy ankle mobility. Now let me get to the MAIN reason why we performed this movement. Bam Bam Season in other words glute deve...lopment since our training session this evening was just that . In terms of programming majority of the time I would place this near the end of a training session with moderate to high repetitions to fully exhaust that particular area. Monday Magic 1. Band Resisted (Monster Mini) Hip Thrust (Constant Tension) 8 2. Back Extension on the Glute Hame Raise 10 3. J and J Records Machine Kneeling Squat 25 Who pay for that Bam Bam dey (PHF that’s who!)

Oh yes, they make terrific pair they went together like lamb and tuna fish Lamb & tuna fishhhhh? Well maybe not quite the same analogy but here lies a movement that I can get behind the Suicide Row. A combination lift which PAIRS a back extension on the glute ham bench with an underhand grip barbell row. The hamstring region is placed under a high degree of stress by having to hold the body up through the top portion of the movement and the rowing component is the on top to address an area of concern on MOST individuals. Row like a boat

Best of the best is what we strive to be. (Yeah). A legacy is what we trying to leave. Ya dig? The Second Coming of PHF on Traders Blvd. Today has me reminiscing on what makes a home a home. Is it the layout, the furniture, the square footage, backyard or the people. For me, it is the people because an elaborate property with all the fixings but no one to share it with just is not worth while in my opinion. This is what I miss most. The People ! If you have ever blessed PHF with your presence I sincerely thank you . PHF is home. If you know you know!

Pops: Your CAA renewal came in the mail. It’s important B you don’t want to get stuck. Me: I’ll call Malisa she’ll tow the silver bullet out from any ditch have you seen her Heavy A*# Sled Drag Pops: You taking this is as a joke, I not jokinnnnnnnnnn ( accent a little stronger) Me: ... Sticking with the theme from yesterday concerning unilateral movements here is another one worth mentioning in the Heavy A*# Sled Drag. -There is no eccentric/lengthening portion of the movement which makes it beneficial in its use to stimulate recovery and very minimal injury risk associated for individuals with mobility issues. -Like with any movement there are an assortment of variations that can be implemented (Harness, Straps, Belt Squat Belt-shown above) and within these load, depth, foot position among many other variables can be altered. You are only limited by your imagination. @So.nely (Remember Them Days ) with weighted plates on the floor mat. It’s all good now we out LA Fitness now. 100lbs plates coming in soon

Chain Parallette Push Ups Many gym enthusiasts don't necessarily give push ups the credit that they deserve. It is indeed an advanced movement when performed correctly. The barbell while great and certainly could be the foundation to an individuals training program does have a tendency to be strenuous on the shoulder joint. Push ups generally allow for a much more natural movement of the scapula in comparison to a barbell bench press variation. Give these a try for your horizontal press variation all while getting your core stronger in the process. #bramptonfitness #mississaugafitness #fitnessjourney #progressivehealthandfitness #health #healthylifestyle #fitnessjourney #fitnessmotivation #ptmississauga #pushup
