Things Westside taught us.⁠ ⁠ Sometimes injuries have more of a intensity (load trigger) that can make regular training difficult to do. ⁠ ⁠ But!⁠ ⁠ Why not work on a possible weak point and "rehab"!⁠ ⁠ If everything over 225 hurts on bench, stay at 225 and throw bands or chains on the side! ⁠ ⁠ Get a super strong lockout while rehabing, I think yes!⁠ ⁠ Remember, when dealing with an injury, find variables that look as close to your regular training as possible. This will help you figure out the problem while also utilizing the solution!

It can be super scary⁠ ⁠ Sharp, shooting, stinging, burning, wet.⁠ ⁠ Whether it's just down the back of your leg or to your foot, that shit is scary. ⁠ ⁠ You've gone on the internet or the doc and they said you blew a disc or slipped a disc (I have a huuuuge problem with this terminology btw) and possible some other scary words. ⁠ ⁠ You're afraid to move, that you might be doing more damage, that you might need surgery, or that you might have this forever. ⁠ ⁠ I am here to tell you that this is NOT a death sentence.⁠ ⁠ That you CAN move.⁠ ⁠ That all that scary terminology can be just that, scary words.⁠ ⁠ Yes, this can change some things for the moment, but that is okay! ⁠ ⁠ Does this sound like something you've been through or are going through?⁠ ⁠ Did you keep training and moving?⁠ ⁠ How long did it last?⁠ ⁠ Let me know below, I'm interested to hear your story.⁠ ⁠ There will be more on this topic with a easy to follow guide coming soon fyi.

Time is the most valuable resource that any of us have. ⁠ ⁠ It is a non-renewable resource.⁠ ⁠ And we don't really know how much we have.⁠ ⁠ So why do garbage volume and random stuff in the gym if you don't have too. ⁠ ⁠ Yes, there is a time and place to go full send with your friends, but on your average day, do you feel you have more things to do with your day?⁠ ⁠ That is one of the pillars we focus on at Prescription Strength and Performance. ⁠ ⁠ To help you be as efficient as possible with your training time to help you reach your goals, rehab and/or performance! ⁠ ⁠ Can't workout 4 days a week? Actually not a problem.⁠ Can't spend more than 45 minutes at a time training? We can make that work!⁠ ⁠ Do you feel you can be more efficient with your training but need help figuring it out? DM me to see if we can help!

Do you know how much you are doing in training?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ I am not talking about just the weight on the bar.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ I am talking how much volume you are doing, how your form looks with the volume and intensity, how the volume and intensity are trending over time, knowing where you need to get stronger?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ That is only a part of what we pay attention to with coaching here. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ "what gets measured, get done."⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Along with that, video feedback on all your lifts, goals and things to look for next training session, your questions answered.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ If you are interested in working with a coach to sort of through the tough stuff to help you reach your goals, feel free to DM me to see if you qualify!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #backsquat #sumodeadlifts #benchpress #bench #powerlifter #training #sickcare #healthcare #sportsrehab #sportsrehabilitation #lifters #powerlifters #skwaats #powerliftingcoaching #strengthcoaching #powerliftingprogram #deadliftsanddoughnuts #deadliftsandchill #homegymlife #homegymworkout #garagegymlife #nerdswholift #powerliftingprogramming #strengthprogram #strengthnoweakness #trainingplan #hyperthrophy #customprogramming #injuryprevention #onlinecoach

Client success continued! ⁠ ⁠ Improved diet, improved health, improved training.... all while spending less money and time. ⁠ ⁠ He upped his food protein intake, switched to just taking creatine (3-5g a day), lowered his preworkout intake to it's minimal effective dose, and focused on the long term goals for the block. ⁠ ⁠ No longer spending 300 bucks a month on supplements that the GNC guy gave him either!⁠ ⁠ If you saw the post the other day, you saw how he cleaned up his deadlifts too. ⁠ ⁠ The fancy stuff is cool, but it won't do you any good if the base hasn't been built yet!⁠ ⁠ If you need help weeding through the BS with all the diet and training "info" out there, let me know what your biggest roadblocks are right now with your health and training below!

Client success! ⁠ ⁠ Dave was able pull pretty much anything from the floor, but had to use straps. ⁠ ⁠ He would get forearm pumps so hard before finishing deadlifts, he would have to use straps on all his back accessories. ⁠ ⁠ Now, he uses straps about 10% total of when he use to wear them. He can train anytime and anywhere without freaking out about his grip or if he'd have his straps.⁠ ⁠ We also cleaned up his diet and modified his supplement use to clean up the early forearm pump. ⁠ ⁠ All Dave did was hold his reps longer at the top without straps and added 1-2 accessory pulls with fatter grips at the end of his sessions. ⁠ ⁠ Be like Dave. Grip it and Rip!⁠ ⁠ Do you need help with your grip or deadlifts, let me know in the comments or DM me what's going on and we'll see what we can do!
