My Set-Ups

In my last video (which you can find here: A Crucial Fix For Your Lifts) I talked about the importance of set-ups for your lifts.

A few people asked me about my own set-ups so I thought I’d do a quick video showing my set-ups for the squat, bench press and deadlift.

This is not necessarily what you should do, but it will give you an idea of what to think about and the importance of having a specific procedure to get ready for each lift.

In this video I go over

  • my own set-ups from start to finish
  • the 2 things that should be a part of EVERY set-up no matter what
  • my personal “one thing” for each lift

Let me know what you think!

A Crucial Fix For Your Lifts

One of the biggest problems beginning and even some intermediate lifters make is not organizing their thoughts before and during a lift.

In this video I go over two things that can help you figure out what to think about before and during a lift in a way that can help and not confuse you.

3 Tips To Help You Squat

The squat is one of the most important movements you can do. Have achy knees? A tender back? Tight hips? Squatting can help all of that.

Do you want to lose weight? Get stronger? Move better? Squatting can help all of that, too.

In this short video I give you three tips to help you squat better and improve on some of the most common mistakes people make when they squat.

Squats shouldn’t hurt and if they do, one or more of these hints can probably help.

Let me know if you have any questions.
