Lately I’ve been getting questions about to go about training for powerful back strength while improving shoulder stability. Since this has been a common thread I decided to pull this older article from the archives to publish up today for you.

The original publishing date of this article was back on May 26, 2016. Believe me this information is still highly valuable and will help you to build greater symmetry in your body for better posture and for a more functionally strong body. Enjoy the read and post up your feedback in the comments section below.

1. What type of training are you currently doing to improve your back strength?

2. Do you currently have shoulder issues and find it difficult to perform pull ups?

3. Are you interested in learning how to really enhance your pull up strength in a different way?

You probably realize by now that back strength development is crucial for function and health. If you are an experienced iron veteran you’ve probably noticed that all too familiar waiting in line at the bench press stations and dumbbell racks on Mondays at most gyms since everybody is looking to get in their chest day. Well today we’re going against the grain and I’m going to show you how you can go about developing lats of steel and to help give you a strong stable shoulder girdle in the process.

Are you having trouble with your deadlift?
Do you feel awkward trying to get into position to effectively pull the bar off the ground in the deadlift?
Have you tried different variations of the deadlift to suit your body’s needs?

If you’re having issues pulling the bar you may need to customize your deadlift. The deadlift is a very powerful functional movement to include in most any strength and conditioning program. If you’re experiencing issues never fear because there are still ways for you to leverage this movement for some groundbreaking strength.

Do You Approach Strength As A Skill?

When you walk into the gym do you walk in prepared?
When it comes to your pursuit of fitness do you recognize your needs?
Are you results oriented when it comes to your training?

Do you approach and treat your pursuit of strength as a skill? If there is one pet peeve of mine it’s the ability of people to walk through most every endeavor in their life without purpose, or intent. If you want results in life you MUST be intentional with your approach. You must go on the attack with a laser beam focus.

Are You Neglecting This Strength Movement

I pulled today’s article from the past! This piece was published back on June, 30th 2016. I felt that this was a great topic to address as it’s something I haven’t pointed out in quite some time.

Are you training your body in this particular plane motion? This particular plane of motion is neglected by many in their strength programs. What about you? Read and leave your feedback below in the comments.

Part of my job involves examining how people move and to also determine how they should be moving based on my experience as a coach and athlete. The reality is that more and more people in the general population are moving worse and worse in this day and age. This more than likely is because of the explosion of sitting jobs.

Today I’m not going to go down the same ‘ole path examining how poorly and immobilized people’s hips and shoulders are (ok maybe I will touch on this a little), but instead I’m going to look at another movement that many people neglect in their strength and conditioning training. Stay tuned my young Jedi of strength!

Do you consider yourself to be a motivated person?
Do you think a coach or trainer can coach motivation into an athlete, or trainee?
What does it take to have motivation?
Why are some people motivated while others are not?

Today I figured I would try to tackle an old topic of discussion revolving around motivation as it pertains to the mindset of training and life. My hope is that today you’ll have a different perspective about the concept of motivation after reading my point of view on the subject.
