Illnesses will get even the best of us. As lifters, most of us want to just be hardheaded and push through, which can be a helpful attitude to have in a broader sense.

Thats where the coach comes in to advise the lifter to hold things back. Even if the training week bleeds into the next calendar week, its less of a problem than allowing the illness to cause even more harm to the body.

Quite common to find the tendency that lifters prefer to move their neck together with the wedge in their deadlift.

This week we were working to keep things more still.

As much as coaches like to address the technical elements of the lifter’s problems, another large part of what is missed out on is having conversation to address their beliefs.

We see big(er) change when the lifter genuinely believes the problem is solved rather than being served a complex technical explanation. This requires live, back and forth exchanges, these calls help me deliver these coaching conversations. Key part in my process.

Learn through movement.
Separating the hip from spine is a key skill in training the lower body musculature with more precision and another valuable tool to teach positioning in the competition lifts.

Setting up success on gameday means developing similar protocols in training.
