Not Strong?! Here’s Why!

 It’s safe to say that every single person on earth needs to follow a strength training plan!  Strength training will allow you to remain independent throughout life, look better, feel better, and improve your confidence. There are about 49 million reasons to follow a strength training program. 

It’s frustrating to see people putting in the work, yet not getting results. A few things that might be holding you back…

You choose the wrong exercises- Some people stick to their machines and isolation exercises, and this is holding them back! 

You need to spend the majority of your time on the big basics that work out a lot of muscles at once. Think Squat, Deadlift, Lunge, Rows, and Presses. We find variations of these movements that work for YOUR body. We place them within a plan that works for you! 

You have no progression plan in place! 

Most people are winging it when they walk in the gym. This will never work! You need a plan! 

You see the people who lift the same weights every single time. Or the people who add weight before perfecting technique! Hire an expert to speed up your progress! 

You think too much!!

Yes, you need to think about technique and have a plan. But I see so many people overthinking! This will slow down your progress. Sometimes you just need to get in the gym and get after it! Push yourself and get stronger on the basics over time! 

You never recover from your sessions-

You will not be getting stronger if you are constantly dieting on low calories, eating horrible foods, or not getting sleep.

You need a plan for recovery! For those who love to workout often, you need to mix high intensity days with low intensity days! 

Mindset – 

Too many people make excuses. Feeling sorry for yourself, saying you are too old, or the other 90 million excuses are not helping you! 

You are what you believe. So start believing in yourself! Hanging around positive people will make this a lot easier!
