The Combo Rack! Standard for powerlifters but can be intimidating for other lifters. It’s a versatile piece of specialty equipment that has a few adjustments you can make.

Today I want to show you how to adjust the rack height. In competition his allows for the perfect set up matched to the individual lifter without stripping weight off. It also an help training partners work easier together.

In this video I show adjustments during bench but it’s the same for squat even though the bar is on a different level.

Stay tuned for more tips on how to use equipment! Reach out if we can help you!

Keg carries are TOUGH! Here are 2 ways I like to attack them.

Low carry: typically use this for: going for distance or it’s a weight you can’t keep in the high carry. Fast and efficient.

High carry: if you have to load it, this is the move. It’s a little longer at the beginning but way easier at the end. The other time to use this is for speed. This position will allow you to sprint.

Either way it is not a row off the ground, it is a RDL. Also, the carry should be a row. DO NOT rely on your biceps to curl a heavy keg then hold it.

Pick the technique that works best and is quickest for you. If you have any questions, please reach out!

I had a crazy exciting competition last weekend and ended up earning 2nd place!

I set some great PRs and as always learned a lot!

40sec 50ft 700 # yoke into 300 # sandbag PR &🥈
605 axle deadlift 55lbs PR!!! Tied for 🥈
Sandbag to shoulder 2x 310 # 1x 275 # PR &🥈
15x 505 # yoke squat PR & 🥇

It was an unexpected result but I worked for every rep so I couldn’t be happier. As always we were cutting up as competitors and cheering each other on which is what I love about this sport!

I wouldn’t be able to do this without the support of , she is always there to remind me, I can do this! has taught me and pushed me to reach my best and still expects me to grow…which is invaluable, thank you! The athletes associated with put on great performances and we had a lot of fun!

Knowledge drop: How does fascia affect your range of motion?

Your soft tissue includes layers of everything from skin to muscles, fat and fascia. How well those layers slide across each other dictates how well you can move.

Adhesions, history of injuries and lack of hydration can prevent smooth sliding of those layers. Using range of motion and staying hydrated can make a huge difference is how well these layers interact.

History of injury can lead to scaring down both directly from healing but also from not using full ROM causing adhesions between layers. Myofascial release techniques can necessarily break up fibrous tissue. What it does is help make the motion better and use available sliding more efficient.

DM us if we can help you move better!

Every coach has told you to train through full range of motion…. This is your sign to listen to them!

If you are training to be strong for life or competition, hit full ROM! Life doesn’t always let us work in the easy range so our training needs to match.

Example-if you want to squat full depth for a comp or just to pick a box off the ground you need to have access to 2 things-the ROM and the ability to produce power in that position.

If you’re having trouble getting into position or expressing strength shoot us a DM!

Knowledge Drop: don’t change much for the last week.

1- don’t add things you don’t normally do. You don’t know how they will affect you

2- keep doing what you’ve been doing but limit the volume. Hit your marks.

3- prep the night before. Lay everything out and pack what you can so you can show on time

These seem simple when spelled out but you’d be surprised what will sneak up on you at the least moment.

"Breaking the Norm"
Feat. Cassandra McCoy MAT, LAT, ATC

When I started my own private practice, it felt right. I wasn't the "norm". Most ATs spend years in traditional practice before getting fed up or burnt out. Mine took a year. I didn't like what I was seeing & how things were done. I'm not saying it was wrong, it just wasn't what I knew I could offer.

I had been in an orthopedic physical therapy department for my 1st year out of grad school when COVID hit. I already wasn't happy in my position, so the job cuts didn't make me mad or want to leave my profession. It made me want to change the way I practiced within my profession.

I was working with women's health & fitness clients before graduating and passing boards, so with over a decade of women's education experience, I've now added on 5 years of integrating women's health care into an athletic trainer's practice on top of that. Over 15 years and every year I learn something new and advance the way I do things to insure the highest quality of patient care.

I made it a priority to make connections in my area. Preserving relationships with doctors, physical therapists, personal trainers, holistic providers & more. Never think a random kindness, conversation or anything is worthless. You can learn from each. This helped tremendously when I needed to find a supervising physician.

It's not been easy, but it has been rewarding.

I have made plenty of mistakes as my business has grown, but honestly I wouldn't change a thing. It's mine. I want to work more or need more money? Guess what, I can. I need to have my kids with me because daycare is out? I can. I have a mom of 4 who can't get childcare for her appointment? I can see her & set up her kiddos with fun things to do in the corner.

My advice to those considering leaving the field, or their settling is this. Start learning from other professions and other clinical providers doing outside of the box things. Keep learning new things.

Slowly make it your own over time. But enjoy the fact that you are making your profession better by not going with the "traditional" way & instead you are bringing in more options to those who follow you.

Knowledge Drop: What you need to know about fascia.

Fascia is a thick connective tissue that runs throughout the body. It is integral in providing stability throughout the body BUT it can also become a problem if it gets too restrictive.

This issue may not actually manifest in the area of restriction. It may create symptoms in another more vulnerable region of the body that share fascial connections.

Let us help you get to the bottom of your motion restriction so you can do what you love free of pain.
