I mean it is push day 🤷‍♂️

Train long enough and eventually your warm-up starts looking like a bad idea.

If pain has been changing the way you lift things, this clinic is for you.

You’ll leave with practical exercise options, smarter progressions, and a clearer idea of how to keep building strength without constantly aggravating your back or knees.

The suitcase squat is a great way to train the squat pattern while challenging your core and stability a little differently.

With the weight on one side, your body has to work to stay controlled. You can also lightly hold onto a machine or bench for balance so the movement stays focused where you want it.
