Nice double B.W. Squat by Tamara this evening!

So with each training cycle, what we're looking for is increase numbers, better technique, learning how to adjust to the movement, as we're always working to improve.

But as we look for success, this journey, which it is numbers, are a key component to that. For instance, one of my clients juanita, who's only twenty three years old, bench pressed 98x4, her last trading cycle. Last night she bench pressed 100x17. So in just a matter of three or four months, look how much her numbers improved by creating a system that is designed to maximize a client's time efficiency. Most people only spend about four percent of their weekly hours dedicated to training in some former fashion. So by creating an efficient programming system, we allow that client to maximize their effort, which is crucial.I feel it's.

So when people are trying to decide what to do, where to go with all the options out there. Individuals should be seeking out a place. They can create a system, it allows you to be as successful as possible. My coach years ago, you used to tell me which I tell people as well. You have only so many great lifts in your life
Maximize every one of them.

Training takes hard work and a level of dedication that sometimes we realize is over our head. We don't want to commit to something so strict and precise. We live in a society. However, that praise is more work, then it does livelihood. We work more than any country in the world, yet we have the highest obese rate as well. Individuals should strive to give themselves that 4% every week. So that your quality ellongevity are maximized every day of your life.

I've learned over the years that what we do here is it for everyone. But the people who do commit get the most out of what we offer in multiple ways and in multiple levels. I tell everyone this system will not fail you. The only people who don't do well are the ones who don't want to do the work. Always be willing to do the work when it comes to your livelihood, quality and longevity.

New combo rack. Ill order face savers next month.

Not bad.

The praise ain’t coming. Gotta keep working 😭 I might get lucky with a “we’ll take that”. #gymhumor #liftheavy #strongman #womenwholift #strengthjourney @matthewsadler54 @northsideathleticsfbx

This morning, a client asked me a really good question: Does walking with hand weights improve bone density?
The answer is that it might provide a very small benefit, but not enough to make a meaningful difference. The problem is that you simply can't carry enough weight for the length of a walk to create the kind of stress bones need to become stronger. If the dumbbells are heavy enough to significantly stimulate bone growth, they're usually too heavy to carry comfortably for any meaningful distance.
That's why a properly designed strength training program is so important. Resistance training allows you to progressively load the body in a safe and effective way, building bone density, increasing muscle mass, and improving strength. Walking is excellent for cardiovascular health and general fitness, but if your goal is stronger bones, your weight training program, not the dumbbells you carry during a walk, should be doing the work.
Now with all that said, a weighted vest is a better option than carrying hand weights. Adding 10, 20, 30 pounds, or more places the load through the body's center of mass, making it a much more practical way to increase the stress placed on the skeleton while walking.
It still needs to be approached with caution. Like any form of resistance training, it should follow a progressive plan. Starting with too much weight too soon can place unnecessary stress on the back, hips, knees, and feet. The load should be increased gradually as strength, conditioning, and tolerance improve. Even then, a weighted vest should complement a well designed strength training program, not replace it.
