Friday

Strength, muscle and awkward everyday objects. Groceries, kids, sacks of whatever, and daily shit that has to go from the ground and up to somewhere. Round backs, unsupported positioning and twisting all happen throughout the above activities very often in our lives and to prevent injury and make these tasks easier we must build muscle and strength. Utilizing proper technique throughout the bodies full range of motion prepares us for these poor lifting conditions we encounter daily. Correct lifting technique i.e. arched or flat back, head in alignment with the spine, and a stabilized spine pressurized at the core readies us and lessens the impact of the poor positions lifting awkward objects subjects us to.

Training:
Squat 5x3
Bench press 5x3
Chin ups 3 x max reps
