So many people believe that using machines in workouts is safer than free weights. The truth is, bad form is bad form- whether on a machine or not. But the great thing about free-weights is your body is given no choice but to strengthen the necessary stabilizing muscles to maintain balance and form, and your joints and muscles will improve in their natural range of motion.

Even when someoneโs brand new, or their range of motion is limited, we can train this with patience and consistency- over time, the body will move smoothly.
Another great thing about free weights is that you do not depend or grow accustomed to equipment- you can literally take your workouts anywhere! ๐ ๐ฏ ๐ฅ

โฅ As with any emotion, itโs important to not judge yourself for feeling frustration. An emotion doesnโt make you a good or bad person, and itโs simply giving you information. โฅ
When you feel Frustration, acknowledge why itโs there; do you feel like you should be able to do something but canโt? When frustrated, what are the stories or thoughts going through your head? This is just a way to demonstrate that we can get curious about what our emotions are telling us. ๐ซ
Next, remind yourself that you were once frustrated in the past, and you overcame it. Pull a specific example from a time in the past where you were frustrated- what was the solution back then? ๐ค
Finally- take action. โ๏ธ ๐
This might mean readjusting your goal, or the way you are trying to reach your goal. Do you need to give yourself more time, another step, a different approach to the thing you are frustrated about? ๐ค
Frustration usually comes when we think something should be a certain way, and we feel held back in some way from obtaining it. ๐ฑ
Try these steps the next time youโre frustrated- these steps even work with being frustrated in the gym! But it can certainly be used in everyday situations, too.

Test yourself! ๐
Do you know the difference between movement Standards and Points of Performance? ๐ค
Movement standards are the check-points that a judge would use if you were competing in a competition. The standards must be hit in order to get a โpointโ or a โyesโ for a rep.
But Points of Performance indicate what makes a good-quality rep. P.O.P are the checkpoints you and your coach would be used to ensure safety and proper movement. ๐ก
So ๐๐ฑ๐ช๐ฝ ๐ช๐ป๐ฎ ๐ฝ๐ฑ๐ฎ ๐.๐.๐. ๐ฏ๐ธ๐ป ๐ช ๐ฌ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ท-๐พ๐น?
And what are the standards?
Test yourself!
(Answers below)
Chin-Up P.O.P: neutral spine, active core, supinated grip slightly outside shoulders. Lean slightly back to engage lats and pull back- at the end of the rep, the chin reaches over the bar, no kipping. ๐
Chin-Up Standards for a good rep: arms start fully extended, chin reaches over the bar with no kipping motion. โ๏ธ

Think about the time you spend in the morning scrolling through Facebook, Instagram, emails, or wandering around as you wait for your coffee to brew.
In that time, you could slip your slippers off, and step onto the grass or dirt in your yard or down the road. ๐ก

By now you probably recognize the difference in your body between pain, and discomfort or soreness. Pain feels wrong, dangerous, itโs your bodyโs signal to your brain to stop what you are doing.
To a beginner, this may be indistinguishable from discomfort; your body looking for an easier way, while your mind trains the body to go a little past that comfort zone. Discomfort is needed to grow muscle.

Pushing through pain will prevent you from growing muscle. Because letโs face it- when youโre injured, you canโt do much physically. And an injury is mentally disheartening as well.
So if these 3 nuances are unfamiliar, spend the week tuning in and see what you can find:
How do you know when your body is sore? ๐ค
How does soreness feel different from pain? ๐คจ
And what do you notice about pushing past comfort but in a SAFE way? ๐ฒ

Disappointment is a common emotion when we feel an expectation we have has not been met.
โฅ When working with any emotion, always remember that emotions are not good or bad- they are simply information. โฅ
If you choose to change an emotion because it is not aligning with what you want to create or experience, then you can follow a simple recipe:
-Identify the emotion (in this example, โdisappointmentโ) ๐ค
-Acknowledge what it is saying (you might need to state it out loud or write it down, โI wanted this, but instead I have this, and I feel let downโ) โ
-Now time to get curious! - โHow do I want to feel?โ or โWhat can I learn from this?โ โ๏ธ
-Reassure yourself by remembering a specific example of a time when you were disappointed, and you ended up feeling even better than before. Put the emotion of Disappointment into perspective. โ ๏ธ
-Feel a new confidence that youโve been disappointed before, and it all worked out, and it will happen again. ๐ช
-Take action. ๐ฃ
Disappointment stems from an unreasonable standard, expectation, or unrealistic belief.
You might need to relax the current belief to adapt and release that disappointment.

Aside from helping you wake up, a brisk cold shower in the morning will also cause the blood in your deeper tissues to circulate at a faster rate than normal in order to maintain its ideal body temperature. Part of the reason experts recommend cold showers is that they reduce inflammation and heart disease. ๐ฟ
Unlike hot showers which dry out the sebum layer thatโs like a lubricated barrier as protection for your hair and skin, cold showers donโt dry your skin out and actually help your skin contract and tighten which can give your face a healthy glow, along with helping hair shine.
โ๐ ๐๐ ๐ค๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฃ๐ค ๐๐ฃ๐๐โ๐ฅ ๐๐ ๐ฃ ๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐ช๐ ๐๐, but they are definitely worth a try for a few mornings in a row. You might be surprised by how exhilarated and ready you feel for the day.

We all can probably get behind this research and experience; that deep squats are generally not bad for the knees!
Of course, there may be exceptions due to individual limitations, surgeries, or past injuries, but itโs important to note how a baby naturally squats to pick things up or when playing. And that many cultures spend more time sitting in a deep squat than sitting at a deskโฆ
๐๐ ท๐ ด ๐ ผ๐๐๐ ท ๐๐ ท๐ ฐ๐ ๐ ณ๐ ด๐ ด๐ ฟ ๐๐๐๐ ฐ๐๐ ๐ ฐ๐๐ ด ๐ ฑ๐ ฐ๐ ณ ๐ ต๐ พ๐ ๐๐ ท๐ ด ๐ บ๐ ฝ๐ ด๐ ด๐ ๐ ธ๐ ๐๐ ป๐ พ๐๐ ป๐ ๐ ป๐ พ๐๐ ธ๐ ฝ๐ ถ ๐ ธ๐๐ ๐ ต๐ ด๐๐ ๐ ด๐, ๐ ฐ๐ ฝ๐ ณ ๐๐ ท๐ ฐ๐โ๐ ๐ ถ๐๐ ด๐ ฐ๐ ๐ ฝ๐ ด๐๐.
But for any skeptics remaining, itโs nice to know about the study by "Journal of Biomechanics" that found that a deeper squat puts less pressure inside of the knee. And the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research also completed a study that found that 90-degree squats with heavyweights are less effective at increasing strength than deep squats with lighter weights. ๐ฏ
When in doubt- look at whatโs natural to the human body- if a baby squats easily, maybe itโs our conditioned lifestyles of sitting in chairs from a young age to adulthood that slowly takes that range of motion away! ๐ค
So if youโre not able to get into a full squat yet, thatโs ok- we teach gradual progressive training to the full range of motion of a deep squat so you can get that basic back! ๐ค

Inadequacy is a feeling of being less-than. It sneaks up when you compare yourself to someone or something. And it works in two ways- it either creates a narrative that you are not good enough which you buy into, making you feel insecure...or it creates an โaction againstโ inferiority, making you feel superior and overcompensating.
Both stem from a sense of inadequacy but the reaction may look different on the outside. โ ๏ธ
When you feel inadequate, notice what you say and how you feel. What brings on that emotion? ๐
โฅ Donโt judge it, simply notice it, as if you were to say โOh hi Inadequacy, I see you- itโs ok!โ โฅ
Then be clear on what you would like to change.
And take action!
Actions for inadequacy can look like:
-Doing something to โget betterโ right away. For example, if you feel less than because you arenโt good at something, you can search for a course online or hire a coach or seek help to improve in that area. ๐ค
-You can do a reality-check exercise and ask, is it really appropriate that I feel this way? Is it true that I am less-than? ๐
-Or you can create an easier opportunity to feel adequate! Maybe youโre comparing yourself to someone or something that is too many levels ahead- and thatโs not setting yourself up for confidence. You just may need to adjust what or who you are comparing to make incremental steps instead of setting your first check-point too high. ๐

Imagine waking up in the morning, being acutely aware of all the things going wrong in your life. All the things you wish were different and with a strong sense of โI have to but I donโt want toโ for just about every part of your day ahead. โฐ
It sucks to just think of it!
But so many people wake up and leave their initial thoughts and feelings (focuses) unchecked.
Now imagine ๐จ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฆ๐ก ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ค๐ฅ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐ค ๐ช๐ ๐ฆ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ ๐ฃ from yesterday. And then noting 5 things youโre grateful for around you. Youโd easily find another 5 people you love and are grateful to in your life, and would probably have a plethora more to be thankful for in the day that hasnโt even started yet. ๐
The science behind gratitude and what it does for our brains has been underway. As always, itโs great to know the science and stay on top of research- but nothing beats personal experience.
Try this for 1 week (choose one or all if you like!):
โ๏ธ Write a letter to someone you are thankful for each week for 3 weeks
โ๏ธ Write 5-20 things you are grateful for each morning for 1 week.
๐ญ Imagine 1 person each morning who you love, why you love them, and how that makes you feel for 1 week.
Itโs important to note that the effects of gratitude can be noticed over time- if you feel any positive effect or simply want to try this experiment for longer, then extend the practice out!; go for more than a week or more than a month! ๐

The strict pull-up is used to strengthen the upper body and get from point A to point B in a way that optimally activates pulling muscles.
In our training, itโs used when the intention of the workout is more muscular, more strength-focused, or at a lower heart rate.
Kipping pull-ups, however, are a different movement- itโs used when the athlete has shown sufficient upper body strength to withstand its demands on the shoulder girdle and when the workout calls for more intensity, and higher breathing.
One does not replace the other and in fact, the kipping pull-up can even be seen as a supplemental movement to the strict pull-up and can be used as a drop-set. But it should never replace the strict pull-up. ๐
When someone says โthatโs not a real pull upโ the truth is, itโs not a myth- thatโs true! The myth is that people mistakenly believe that the kipping pull-up is replacing the Strict when itโs not. ๐ฒ
Itโs simply a different, advanced, variation of upper-body-pulling. And it requires a lot of technical skill, and prerequisite strength before being performed safely. โ

Overwhelm is a common emotion that bogs a lot of people down!
Donโt worry, thereโs no need to feel bad for having any emotion. But it IS useful to ask, does this emotion set me up for what I want to create and experience in life?
If the answer is no, youโre in luck- you can always work with and manage your emotions.
โฅ Overwhelm, Overload, and Depression all stem from a feeling of helplessness. Whatever it is, feels like too much, and it could be many things at once contributing to this feeling. โฅ
When you feel this, stop and ask yourself or think about:
WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO ME? ๐ค
In these moments, a list is very helpful. Make a list of everything you want to do, feel you have to do. ๐
Once all the musts and wants are listed or captured somewhere, close your eyes and ask, โwhat is actually the most important thing to me?โ ๐ญ
Prioritize the list.

How often is coffee the first thing to hit your stomach?

Whether this is you or not, try something new (and comment ๐ below if you already do this):
FOR 1 WEEK DRINK A BIG GLASS OF WARM LEMON WATER FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.
๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฃ will help reduce acidity and uric acid in the body. It enhances enzyme function, stimulating your liver and activating bile flow, which helps emulsify and flush out fat-soluble toxins.
And think of all the nutrients in lemons! ๐: vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and fiber. The vitamin C in lemons can help alleviate stress and fight viral infections and sore throats. Potassium is beneficial to heart health, as well as brain and nerve function.
Thereโs a lot of hype behind it, but thereโs also a reason for it!
Pick up a bag of organic lemons from the store tonight, and squeeze the amount of fresh lemon juice in your warm water tomorrow AM!
Let us know how you feel after a week or so of this easy morning boost.
