💪Face-Pull Technique . ❗️I was at the gym this week and saw one of my top 10 incorrectly done exercises ( that I see 👀). @fitnessiq put up the correct form a month ago, check it out: . ✏️Note this movement should target the Rear Deltoids. But a lot of the time we see people shrug their traps, and use their biceps for the movement. . ❌Avoid elevating the scapula and driving the elbows straight back . ✅If your goal is to truly hit the rear deltoids: 🔹Keep the scapula depressed/protracted 🔹Core Engaged 🔹Drive back and OUT with your elbow towards your face . Maintain tension through the entire movement. And try to keep neutral head position throughout. Keeping these points in mind will prevent neck pain and shoulder impingement 👌

 ⬆️⬇️💥DO YOU BOUNCE TOO MUCH WHEN YOU RUN?
. We’ve all seen rabbit-like 🐇runners out there. More than anything you can hear them down the road 📢. Runners who bounce a lot up and down 〰️ typically don’t convert as much energy forward ↗️. This is why you hear them clunking on the treadmill, there is more vertical energy being released as sound! . That being said, everyone will have a bit of vertical movement when running. Typically 5-12cm is noted when you film a lot of people running. So when would vertical bouncing be a red flag? 🚩 🔻Injuries (I.e. Shin Splints) 🔻Poor Performance . 🔹Vertical bouncing (oscillation) when running is more of a symptom, rather than a cause of non-ideal running mechanics. Simply put vertical bounce is related to higher ground reaction forces, and slower cadence. But I like being aware of it because if someone LOOKS 👀 and sounds like they are bouncing a lot, they probably are. . ✅So my Tip: If you’re getting shin splints (any impact injury) or not improving your times, record yourself on your phone📽. Do an eyeball test and watch for the vertical movement of your head 🙇stride to stride, and listen to the impact of your feet. My cue is usually just to ‘run more quietly’ 😅which sometimes increases cadence and decreases the bounce. |
