The message I'm telling myself in LDiT 2 is a reminder of the power of better.
A lot of Us get real upset when we failed to achieve a good day or good workout. Yet a lot of us don't acknowledge impact of external factors in real time, or the past when determining if we did a good job at whatever.

Today's post is certainly relevant to that topic. Ever one knows the expression " when life gives you lemons, make lemonade."
My take on the concept is a step further. If you think you're going to get served lemonades in the near future, spend some time researching how to make the best damn lemonade you're capable of!

The moral of this story is not to regurgitate a cliche. Rather, let's use a cliche to make a little bit of progress, at best, or minimize the loss of previously earned progress, at worst.

I'm going to get sick. I'm going to get sad. I'm going to get lazy. I'm going to get sore. I'm going to get hurt. It's unavoidable. I used this weekend as a way to to minimize the negatives and the guilt. I'll feel about inaction when I'm back to feeling good.

Kaleb's tremendous effort inspired us to provide information on how you can improve your shoulder mechanics!
Front squat. Shoulder press. Throwing. Push-ups. Brushing your hair. Putting on A t-shirt. All things require a properly functioning posterior rotator cuff. We hope this demonstration provides insight.

Do this banded exercise 1-2 workouts per week until you get DOMS in the Target areas. Aim for 12 -18 reps per side. Split the reps per needed. Perform 2-4 sets. If it hurts in the front of your shoulder or not where it's explained it should in the back, shoot us A DM for tips or to make an appointment

Technique Tuesday: #1. Improve your front rack. Improve your front squat.

Your ability to hold your barbell in a stable and sustainable position is essential to a proper front squat. A proper front squat is important like football as you see here with Kaleb.

The tricky thing is how to maintain this position so that you can train your front squat and eventually get the benefit from progress in the movement itself!

Ensuring your front rack position can be successfully and reliably obtained is critical to putting up 200 lb three-rep Max's while being barely old enough to drive.

So we build your rotator cuff, and along with additional progressions, get each athlete strong in the position before the progressive overload that is essential to making strong and productive athletes.

Great job Kaleb! If you need tips, you know who to reach out to. Come see us at Route 250!

Here you see working on hamstrings development during one of the hardest exercises in all of S&C. The difficulty is working through a FULL range of motion (not that common if you pay attention in other videos) and making an effort to not hinge during the concentric portion (return back up).

Athletes can either learn proper technique (with our help).
* OR *
They can learn compensatory strategies to complete the task they are otherwise unfamiliar with. So what to do?
1. You need a coach who doesn't just stand around with his eyes on his/her phone.
2. You need a coach who hosts controlled and small class sizes so attention can be given equitable to each client.
3. You need a coach who understands LTAD (long-term athletic development) to help athletes like Jessica here reach her highest potential.

She came to us with a number of nagging issues and has been healthy since she started with us! A large amount of the credit goes to her family for the support they give and Jess for the effort she brings. Any coach can get you better.
A good coach can get you to your best AND help you thrive along the way. We're honored to work with athletes like Jess. Keep up the work!

Advancing Athletics and our clinicians work hard to not just get you better but make sure you stay better. Our business is built on that principle. That's what we call "getting better better" but how do we do it?
1. Have our relationship with you. We have a direct relationship with our clients so you don't have to be anxious about "how much will this cost"
2. We will help you get stronger while learning to move better so the issue doesn't return as soon as you're discharged.
3. We'll make sure (like this photo) you learn to implement the changes we introduce in the situation that caused the issue.
4. We'll help you get stronger with fitness routines that make your goals and aspirations. No matter the age or issue.

Come find out how to SAVE MONEY and get better better
