Technique Tuesday: Mega Deadlift 🖤

Master the hinge, fire up your glutes and hamstrings, and remember… slow and controlled always wins.

Deadlift — we know you either love it or hate it! Where do you stand on this one?

Thanks for the demo, Angela Cannella

We love a good trending audio… 🎵

But it’s the real soundtrack of Wicked Core that will always be our favorite.

It’s the excitement and encouragement in an instructor’s voice that gets you through one more shake.
It’s the form cues and little reminders that help you get the most out of every movement.
It’s the music playing in the background that lets you get lost in the work.
It’s the sound of springs moving, deep breaths, and the occasional laugh between sets.

Those are the sounds that make this place feel like home.

Trending audios might catch your attention…
But the sounds inside our studio are what keep us coming back. 💙

Technique Talk: Front & Back Lunge 🔥

This week, Amanda is breaking down one of our favorite lower-body burners: Front & Back Lunge.

While the movement looks similar, where you perform it on the Megaformer changes everything.

✨ Front Lunge: Performed at the front of the Megaformer. Start with 1–2 yellow springs (2 offers a little more support).

✨ Back Lunge: Same movement pattern, but performed at the back of the Megaformer using just 1 yellow spring. Because you’re working at the greatest spring extension, this variation creates much more resistance and is considered the more advanced option.

A few coaching cues to keep in mind:
✔️ Chest and shoulders stay slightly forward.
✔️ Hinge your hips back before bending the front knee.
✔️ Keep your knee stacked over your heel.
✔️ Use the high handlebars for balance—not to push yourself up.
✔️ Stop just short of locking out the working leg to keep constant tension.

It’s all about slow, controlled movement. The better your form, the more your glutes, hamstrings, and quads have to work. 🔥

Have you tried both versions? Which one do you prefer in a spicy leg block? 👇

Sometimes you just gotta walk it out to feel a little better….
