Try a lighter weight as an intro to these banded back squats. ✅ Try keeping the knees tracking (in line) with toes as you squat. Squat as low as you can. The tension you keep on the band will give you some added activation on mostly the ABductors but you’ll feel it all through your legs most likely. ✅ This is a great way to train your knees tracking over your toes. If you want start with banded body weight squats first. ✅ You’ll almost always see me with my clients squatting with some variation. Never underestimate the basics. Repeat as often as possible and mix it up regularly. ✅ For a realistic no bullshit approach to a gym program getting you good at the fundamentals of basic human movement come say hello in the gym. I don’t give a fuck about keeping up appearances or chasing happiness. I give a fuck about your results and my results.

Having a play with banded squats. Considerably harder at the top. I think I’ll alternate week to week (with & without) and see how it feels. . Finished the session with deadlifts, behind the neck press, BB back hypers and maximal effort DB snatch. 🏋🏻‍♀️ . Was feeling pretty drained during this session. . #ymcabowenhills #thefutureisfit #brisbanept #squats #personaltrainingbrisbane #TFIF #fit4life #gymlife #happierhealthierstronger #bowenhillspersonaltrainer #bowenhillspt 🧢 (at The Future is Fit) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsm0rm3HCP7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bn0bjqepsnla

The road to Snatch my body weight was long underway in 2018. Here 30kg Snatch looks heavy and very wobbly but so far is the best I’ve done to date as I squat down and return to standing. After some of my sets I would have to trigger various points until I could do it pain free. This was the result. I’m happy with this for now. Next goal is to simply get this smooth for 5 reps. Then add more weight. Stay tuned! 🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏼‍♂️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏼‍♂️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏼‍♂️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏼‍♂️🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏼‍♂️🏋🏻‍♀️ . #olympiclifting #olympicweightlifting #snatch #ymcabowenhills #thefutureisfit #brisbanept #personaltrainingbrisbane #FIF #fit4life #gymlife #happierhealthierstronger #bowenhillspersonaltrainer #bowenhillspt (at YMCA Bowen Hills) https://www.instagram.com/p/BskZW59neQD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hzcvxe0gsnnb

Dips for shoulder joint and tricep strength. Use full range and only do if your shoulders are healthy. Elbow 90% at the bottom and lock out squeezing the tricep at the top. Dips! Do them! 👓👓👓👓👓👓👓👓👓 #ymcabowenhills #thefutureisfit #brisbanept #squats #personaltrainingbrisbane #TFIF #fit4life #gymlife #happierhealthierstronger #bowenhillspersonaltrainer #bowenhillspt (at YMCA Bowen Hills) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpwDoXDnAGT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=159l6ht9cjvtv

How low do you squat? Are you not giving your butt muscles the love they deserve by only going half way down or worse ⅔ of the way down. Of course if you’re limited by pain, tightness sort that out first with a PT or EP. If you’re not strong enough to get back up or too scared you need to reduce the weight and earn your time under the bar with plenty of practice. That’s why they’re called repetitions! My lifts are very far from any elite level. It takes time. Years. Come for the journey! I’ll make it fun!! Be patient get help if you need and enjoy the journey. See me for a squat workshop. Usually 3 sessions will be enough to get you on the right track with some homework. May your future be fit! #ymcabowenhills #thefutureisfit (at YMCA Bowen Hills) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnkFJW2FFcH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15husmmuiz1nb
