PSA for Canadian Military troops going on your infantry course. Choose a high quality boot that won't bust out on you like the issued ones 100% will. Our Suggestion: ROCKIES or HANDWAGS Rockies in the summer. Handwags in the winter. Links to suggested boots coming soon.

I'm running out of DBs for my DB Bench progression Here's how I've been extending it Take the same weight and add 1 rep each week Week 1: 3x6 at 90lb Week 2: 3x7 at 90lb Week 3: 3x8 at 90lb Week 4: 3x6 at 95lb Week 5: 3x7 at 95lb Week 6: 3x8 at 95lb It really is that simple

“I need a belt” No. You need to get #Stronger so that you can do that weight on the bar without a belt.

The most common injuries Mil-LEO-Fire veterans report are knee and back related. If you're looking for a solution The Body Armour 2.0 course coming soon to the StrongU app is specifically designed to rehabilitate from injury, mobilize joints, and strengthen your whole body.

Choosing the correct accessory exercises is essential when developing upper body muscle size and strength.

#Strength training is just as much about injury prevention as it is about performance enhancement. A strong body is resilient and less prone to injury. A weak body is vulnerable and more likely to get hurt.

Crossfit Open 22.1 Adaptive Athletes and Foundations’ Divisions These are, by far, my favorite divisions in the open. Not only did Henry get the best score in my gym (352 reps to be exact) … but he works harder than anyone I’ve ever met !!! — Regina Mackay, CF-L2

Instability in joints due to lack of proper muscle firing patterns is a red flag for the nervous system to produce force. Why would the body send full power to a joint, when that joint is unstable? Whats the lesson? Build on your weaknesses. #Strength101

GPP work is an overlooked aspect of getting #strong. For Mil-LEO-Fire, GPP work should take up the majority of your training. 👇Here's a few examples 👇 - Sled drag. Forwards AND backwards - Ruck Walks - High volume banded accessories - Aerobic / Anaerobic capacity training

If you have too many #ExerciseVariations, you lose the ability to track progress. Keeping it simple, and using a handful of exercises would prove to be best for the majority of novice lifters.

How much weight you lift on the barbell is a byproduct of how much: 1. Full body tension you can create 2. Force you can apply down into the ground Treat every lift like a full body lift and watch your numbers go up.

As always identify problems, eliminate excuses, and train optimally, or as close to it as circumstance will allow. #Progress #strengthtraining

One of the best ways to improve leg and torso #strength is by using low box safety #squat bar squats. #strength101

If you want to be BIG, you must first become STRONG. If you fail to get strong, and you jump straight into hypertrophy training, you'll become BIG and WEAK. 👉 Build a strong foundation. 👉 Identify weaknesses. 👉 Build on weaknesses. 👉 Smash PR's. 👉 Repeat.

You can learn alot about yourself simply from filming your heavy sets of compound movements such as squats, bench press, or deadlifts. Breakdown in form at heavier weight indicates weaknesses that need to be addressed using special exercises and focused accessories.

Don't get caught up doing in doing an #exercise that your friends like, or does little for you. #strength101 Especially as Mil-LEO-Fire. Your training should be focused on producing results that directly benefit your job performance

The hardest thing for some lifters to accept is the reality that they need to change. Drop the ego. Unless you're competing at the very top level of competition, you have more to learn. Seek out alternative education, and never allow yourself to stop growing.

Rules to Remember: 👉 To build or increase #Endurance, one must work through #fatigue 👉 You must stop Endurance training once #form breaks down. #Powerlifting #StrengthTraining
