I want to tell you an embarrassing story, but first…
Have you ever wondered if you are doing an exercise properly?
There are 3 indicators you might have a problem:
- You just don’t “feel” the right muscles working.
- You’ve hit a plateau and are no longer making progress.
- Pain or injury. Ouch!
I’ve experienced them all, but my pain is your gain. I’ve also learned from these experiences and it has made me a better coach more capable of helping you…
…now back to the embarrassing story.
The pain was becoming damn near unbearable at this point. I muttered, “Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. I think I need to pull over.”
This was not the good “oh my god” either 😉
My girlfriend looked on with concern from the passenger seat of the car.
The back of my leg was throbbing and it stretched from the top of my butt all the way to my calf on the right side of my body. It ached and there was literally nothing I could do about it.
We were stuck on the freeway in heavy traffic.
I changed positions, I modified the seat, I adjusted the lumbar support, and I even started driving with my left foot. All these antics turned out to be futile.
Nothing helped and driving with my left foot turned out to be dangerous and stupid.
How did I get to this point?
I’m a coach and I’m in great shape. How could I be dealing with such a terrible case of sciatica? Wasn’t this type of problem for like, outta shape old people?
The answer, I later found out, was that I had been squatting incorrectly — for years!
How could this be?
My physical therapist laid it out for me: going too deep on loaded back squats (which causes massive spinal compression) had done me in.
The fact is that it’s EASY to screw up an exercise…
Unless you’ve really studied this stuff, worked with professionals, spent 10,000 hours perfecting your craft, and learned from your mistakes in the process. And even then you’ll still make a few errors.
Even the most seasoned gym goers don’t know how to do every exercise properly or have developed bad habits that can lead to a lack of progress — or worse, an injury.
I’m here today to share what I’ve learned from 10,000 hours in the gym, a slew of injuries, and years of screwing things up.
I’m here to prevent you from making the same mistakes that I did.
Without further ado, here are The Top 10 Exercise Mistakes (And How To Fix Them):
In this video you’ll learn:
- How to prevent knee pain when doing lunges.
- The #1 ab training mistake and how to fix it.
- How to prevent rotator cuff injuries when doing shrugs.
- A common leg press mistake that often causes serious back injuries.
- The #1 mistake 99% of people make when doing the cable chest fly that’s literally sabotaging your chest growth.
- A simple trick that will 10x your bicep workouts allowing you to finally fill out that shmedium t-shirt.
And even more.
These are the things I wish someone told me in my 20s. I would have made a lot more progress much faster and with less heartache and injury.
