Skull crushers are only effective if you control them.
Focus on:
Keeping your elbows stable
Lowering with control
Fully extending at the top

Stop wasting time on flashy workouts. These movements can improve strength, muscle growth, posture, and overall performance.
Which one is your favorite?
Most healthcare workers think their lower back is the problem.
But a lot of the timeā¦itās just doing too much work.
When your hamstrings arenāt strong enough to support your hips, your lower back picks up the slack, especially during long shifts, lifting patients, or being on your feet all day.
So you stretch it. Foam roll it. Try to āfixā it.
But the real solution might be building strength where youāve been under-supported.
Thatās what this is š
Not punishment.
Not chasing a burn.
Just intentional strength that actually helps you feel better in your body.
You donāt need more random workouts.
You need ones that support your life.
Most people separate strength and cardio.
Healthcare professionals need both ā at the same time.
Weighted burpees are one of the most efficient ways to train:
Power
Strength
Conditioning
Perfect for busy schedules and demanding jobs.
When healthcare professionals finally start prioritizing themselves:
Energy improves
Strength improves
Confidence improves
You deserve the same care you give your patients.

Better Alternatives:
1 - Barbell squats are superior for building full body functional strength, athleticism, and core stability because they require you to balance the weight yourself.
2 - Planks, side planks, and heavy compound lifts, which engage your deep core for posture and real-world strength.
3 - Lateral or clockwork lunges are better, which comprehensively work the legs and glutes while improving overall stability.
4 - Banded/cable tricep extensions, or overhead pressing, which allow for progressive overload.
5 - Squats or Bulgarian split squats, which mimic real-world motions and work entire muscle groups simultaneously.
6 - Pull-ups or Chin-ups. These compound movements involve multiple joints, allowing you to use more weight and put significantly more stress on your target muscles.
7 - Dumbbell side lateral raises or face pulls, which activate the shoulders and traps without compromising joint safety.
Shift work plus restrictive dieting is a brutal combination.
Most healthcare professionals I coach arenāt lacking discipline.
Theyāre under-fueled and burned out.
When we focus on fueling properly and building strength, everything changes:
ā energy
ā metabolism
ā confidence

Finished my second DEKA Strong today in 17:41! Managed to shave off 4 minutes from my last time šŖš¼
The 10 Stations:
1. 30 alternating reverse lunges - 33lb (side rack > back rack)
2. 500m row (I gotta remember itās mainly a push motion)
3. 20 box step overs (found a rhythm here)
4. 25 med ball sit ups - 14lbs (the hip lift helps)
5. 500m ski erg (still need to work on form)
6. 100m Farmerās carry - 40lbs each hand (love this one)
7. 25 calorie air bike ā ļø
8. 20 dead ball shoulder overs - 40lbs (another fav)
9. 100m sled push/pull (the pushing felt easier than the pull)
10. 20 burpees - 22lbs (told myself I gotta jump on each one)

Healthcare culture often glorifies exhaustion.
But being constantly depleted shouldnāt be the norm.
Strength training helps healthcare professionals:
ā build resilience
ā improve energy
ā support long shifts
Your body deserves support, not burnout.
If you work in healthcare, you already know what itās like to be on your feet all day.
But being on your feet and being strong on your feet are two different things.
Strength training helps build the stability and endurance your body needs to handle long shifts without breaking down.
Your job is demanding. Your body deserves support.
