Are you looking to take your deadlifts to the next level?

Here’s one of my favorite exercises to better isolate the hips and ensure you’re fully engaging your glutes and hamstrings during the deadlift.

Keeping your knees close to the bench encourages you to send the hips back, rather than relying on the knees by letting them move forward.

Listen to your body and only move through the range your hips allow.

Have you ever dealt with an injury for so long that it felt like you would never lift heavy again or move with confidence?

There is a way back. With the right plan, structure, and guidance, you can return to the movements you love and do them well.

Huge shoutout to our client for hitting this PR and proving that progress is always possible. 👏🔥

We love hearing these stories because it shows how you can still make progress even if you have been dealing with an injury for a few months or a few years.

Injuries or pain can’t get better if the root cause has not been addressed.

So the first step into real progress is to understand what is going on and from there to have a solid plan to get you back into doing what you love.

Here’s how to improve your single-leg stability:

1. Start by testing it.
We need a clear picture of where you’re at so we know what actually needs to get stronger.

2. Check the side-to-side difference.
If one leg is more than 15% weaker, it’s a sign we should build in some targeted single-leg work. How do you start?

Glad you asked…

• Begin by squatting to a higher surface or using light hand support so you can control the movement.
• As you improve, lower the surface and work toward more reps with good form.

If you want help dialing in your stability work, send us a DM!

Here is how to get rid of hip flexor tightness.

Some people have asked me in the past why their hip flexors are tight after doing so much stretching…

The truth is that a muscle that is tight is also a muscle that needs to be strengthen. It needs to learn how to fully stretch and contract under load and tension and that is what yields to long term results.

If you know someone with tight hip flexors, make sure to share this with them!

Strong backs don’t come from avoiding movement, they come from rebuilding it.💪

This client came in struggling with low back pain and a lot of hesitation to move. Instead of only focusing on the pain, we worked on strengthening the entire body, improving stability, control, and confidence step by step.

Now they’re moving stronger, feeling better, and trusting their body again.

Exercise isn’t just rehab. It’s how you reclaim your strength and confidence in movement.

Hey all! Here is an idea on how to improve or change your squats if you want to better target your quads and make it a more knee dominant variation of the exercise.

There is nothing wrong with a hip dominant variation either but the questions becomes: what do you want to get out of the exercise? What muscles are you looking to primarily target?

Let me know if you give this a try!

Four months. Stronger PRs, less pain, more muscle, fat down, and zero guesswork.

This client came to Alyssa feeling stuck and dealing with recurring injuries. Now every week starts with targeted bodywork to fix what is actually causing the issue, followed by training built specifically to push performance, plus mobility, lifestyle, and nutrition programming outside the session so progress never stalls.

If you are athletic but stuck, getting hurt, or not seeing the return you should, AthleX is where you break the plateau.

DM “PERFORMANCE” to work with our team.

When it comes to the body, at AthleX we see it as one connected system, not isolated parts. A broken foot doesn’t just affect the foot, it impacts how the entire body moves and supports itself.

That’s why we don’t just rehab the injury. We help you rebuild strength, balance, and confidence so you can return to your sport feeling ready, not limited.

If you’re recovering from an injury and want to get back to doing what you love, use the link in our bio to schedule your discovery call with AthleX.

Struggling to feel more in control of your movement?
Here are 4 simple exercises I do every day to keep my body moving the right way 💪

1️⃣ Toe Touches with Yoga Block
By squeezing a block between my knees as I reach my hips back, I restore hip mobility and improve control of my center of gravity. This sets the foundation for safer, stronger squats and deadlifts 🏋️

2️⃣ Bear Plank Hold
Unlike a regular plank, this one helps me align my hips and ribcage properly. That alignment makes my core stronger and protects my lower back in everyday movements.

3️⃣ Front Back Expansion
This drill teaches my ribcage to expand and rotate better 🌬️ which means easier breathing during workouts and more freedom to move in sports or daily life.

4️⃣ Kneeling Chops
This one trains my ribcage to rotate without dragging my head or hips along. The payoff is more control, better posture, and stronger rotation for activities like running, swinging, or throwing.

Try these out and notice how your body feels after a few reps.
