Why It’s Important to Train Stabilizer Muscles πŸ’ͺβš–οΈ

Training stabilizer muscles matters because they’re the hidden support system that allows your bigger, β€œshow” muscles to perform at their best.

Smith Machine deadlift shines when you adjust your stance for the fixed bar path, emphasize hip hinging, and program it smartly alongside free-weight pulls.

Had a slight pull in my lower back Monday while trying to do #squats. Nothing major and it's almost cleared up. A bummer to have taken off time from the gym already though, argh!

I really did go overboard on those
#deadlifts the other day. Woof.

#fitness #strengthtraining
Paying a bit more attention to how things are feeling. I'm definitely still tight in the glutes and low back from those #deadlifts the other day. Made it a bit straining to get into position for #overheadpress. So I think it is that last workout dragging on me a bit.

Why Compound Movements Should Be Your Foundation ▢️

Exercises like squats, deadlifts, presses, and rows for building strength, coordination, and efficiency are great for beginners compared to isolation lifts.

1️⃣ Train Multiple Muscles at Once

2️⃣ Build Real-World Strength

3️⃣ Faster Progress and Growth

Core Strength in Every Lift πŸ‹οΈβ†•οΈ

Understanding core strength in every lift is important because the core is the foundation of nearly every movement you perform in weightlifting.

1️⃣ The Core Stabilizes Your Spine and Protects Your Back

2️⃣ Core Engagement Boosts Total-Body Strength

3️⃣ Balance and Control Come from the Core

More deficit #deadlifts today. Why bar get closer. Or arms just get longer. Please.

Think I could have gone slightly heavier, but overall felt pretty good.
