🎱 Med ball options for upper body days?

👍 Here are three examples for you!

👨🏻‍🏫 Work great paired with an upper body push exercise 👌

🛑 Rest Isn’t Earned, It’s Essential
It’s easy to slip into the mindset that you have to earn your rest. One more set, one more task, one more “productive” hour…

👨🏻‍🏫 But rest isn’t a reward for pushing hard enough. It’s what allows you to keep going.

💪 Athletes don’t get stronger during the session; they adapt during rest.
 🧠 Mental health isn’t sustained by constant output but by giving yourself breathing space.
 🧑‍🎨 Creativity, focus, and resilience all need pauses to flourish.

🗓️ It’s not a sign of weakness to schedule blanks in your diary. It’s wisdom. You don’t always need to do more. Sometimes, you need to step back, recover, and return ready to lift again.

🤔 What would it look like this week if you treated rest as non-negotiable, not optional?

🎥 A little snippet of our Friday group doing their thing!

🤔 The two best exercises for shoulder mobility?

👨🏻‍🏫 Well, after you’ve got your ribcage sorted and breathing on point, it would be hard to look past these.

1️⃣ Deadbug Pullover
2️⃣ Deadbug Fly

🏆 Loaded eccentrics for the win.

🧭 Self-Improvement vs. Self-Discovery
We often think the path forward is self-improvement: pushing harder, ‘fixing’ things, adding more ‘stuff’.

🤔 But what if it’s actually self-discovery that moves us forward?

🥇 The self-improvement mindset drives us to do more and achieve more. But it comes at a cost.
When is “enough” enough?
And what is driving us to improve?

🍃 A self-discovery mindset fosters drives deeper understanding of yourself, your values, your passions. This serves as a foundation for more meaningful growth and growth that is aligned to who you are.

✨ This week, consider what might shift if you focused less on ‘improving’ yourself and more on understanding yourself?

🤔 Are machines useful with young athletes?

👨🏻‍🏫 Yes. Great way to apply targeted load without worrying about skill or stability being a limiting factor. Also, kids tend to really enjoy using them!
