Most people don’t actually have tight hip flexors.

They have weak ones. 💡

If something feels tight, our instinct is to stretch it.
But tension doesn’t automatically mean short.

A muscle can feel tight because it’s lengthened and undertrained.
Sometimes from overstretching it over and over. 🔁

When your body doesn’t feel strong in a position, it creates tension to protect it. 🛡️

So instead of chasing length… build strength through the range. 💪

Mobility that sticks comes from control.

Try strengthening your hip flexors for two weeks before stretching them and tell me what changes.

Movement should make sense.

Core training isn’t one thing. 🧠

It needs to be prescribed:
• anti-extension
• anti-rotation
• anti-lateral flexion ⚖️

Then it needs to be integrated.

Here, we’re layering all three into a single-leg RDL.
One movement. Full-body control. Strength that actually transfers. 💪🦵

That’s core training done right. 🔥

✨ At 20, the difference is noticeable.
By 70, it’s unmistakable.

Not in how someone looks.
In how they live. 🚶‍♂️🛒⬆️

At 20, habits tend to show up as:
• a few extra reps
• a little more endurance
• quicker recovery 💪

Easy to overlook.
Easy to put off.

Over time, those same habits quietly add up.

By 70, they influence:
• independence or reliance on help
• confidence in movement or hesitation
• actively living life or managing limitations 🧠⚖️

Strength training isn’t about chasing today’s workout.
It’s about keeping your options open later.

Time doesn’t punish.
It simply reveals what you’ve invested in. ⏳

Train with the future in mind. 🔥

Hard workouts don’t guarantee progress 💥
Structure does 🧱
Tracking does 📊
Intent does 🎯

Every session we run has a reason behind it.
What you did last week matters ⏱️
How you move matters 🧠
Why you’re doing it matters 🔁

When the bar starts too far away, the body has to compensate 👀

That usually shows up as more forward lean and unnecessary stress ⚠️

When we bring the bar closer, everything feels smoother and more efficient ⚙️💪
That’s how lifting stays strong and pain-free ✅

More coming 👊

We focus on setup first 👀

When shoulders start behind the bar, the lift turns squatty and the back ends up taking stress it doesn’t need 🧠➡️🦴

When shoulders stay slightly over the bar, you can hinge, stay stacked, and everything feels smoother ⚙️💪

Here’s a drill we prescribe to keep shoulders healthy 💪🦴

It’s commonly used.
But one small step often gets missed 👀

When that happens, the wrong muscles take over and the drill loses its purpose ⚠️

This is why details matter 🎯
