Embracing a little gym culture in my rehab floor.

There was small “lull” in our day and as I was finishing some notes, I hear the interns slamming weights on the rehab floor. I decided to take a small break and show them a small glimpse of one of my supersets that targets the arms, core and upper back muscles. Supersets have been controversial in the workout community with the sole reason that you’re not allowing your body to have ample time to recover between sets thus the max effort in your lifts may be reduced. For me this particular superset may not necessarily be too strenuous, but it certainly increases the heart rate and tackles some of the upper extremity regions to core to upper back muscles (rhomboids and latissimus dorsi). This is a glimpse of one of my supersets:

1. Spider Curls: 3 sets 10 repetitions
2. Tricep extensions (targeting the long head of the triceps): 3 sets 10 repetitions
3. Weighted crunches (kneeling): 3 sets 10 repetitions
4. Face pulls: 3 sets 10 repetitions

Then 1-2 minutes rest and repeat for 2 more supersets

Getting treatment for your lower back discomfort can be nerve wracking especially if it’s your first time at a chiropractor’s office or even physical therapist. With all the sensationalized adjustments all over social media, it can be overblown and can get carried away. But it all depends on the proper assessment and guidance by your healthcare team, not to mention education. Thanks again to Coach for letting me film this candid treatment.

Unboxing my new and personal FAKTR F3 instrument from ! I nice special edition “Gold” F3 which I will be using to help treat and perpetuate healing for the patients at my office. Thanks again to my good friend Dr. Todd Riddle and Jessica Riddle for an amazing tool. However, just as how we all agree, it’s NOT the tool that directly perpetuates healing but the knowledge and guidance that the healthcare provider and practitioner gives to their patient that is impactful.
