When working in the neutral scapular plane, arm (and shoulder) musculature gain a natural mechanical advantage that allows them to do more work. All you need to do is to put your humerus in the right place.

Thoracic rotation is driven by distinct muscular action at the top and bottom of the ribcage: the obliques act on the lower ribs, while the serratus anterior and rhomboids act on the upper ribs.

Back training adheres to a hierarchy of training variables: arm path, loading modality, resistance profiles, scapular mechanics, strength curves, and more. Arm path sits at the top of this hierarchy.

Bad glute activation is never a consequence of the muscle not being neurologically “switched on”. The glutes are crazy strong, capable of producing huge amounts of force. The heart of the issue, however, is that this force needs a safe way to be transferred to the ground and to the load.

Targeted musculature, type of stimulus, training frequency, mobility limitations, concurrent pull sessions: These factors inform how to select exercises, order them within a workout, and set correspondent volume and intensity parameters.

Physiological recovery: what happens, how long it takes, and when to train next.

The timeless art of dressing up the “thing they need” as the “thing they want.”

"You can't go somewhere you already are": The counterintuitive approach to ankle mobility.

Let’s be deliberate with pull day exercise selection, sequencing, and execution.

Restricted hip internal rotation means leaving lower body gains on the table. As a solution, stretching won’t cut it. The neural mechanism behind hip IR restrictions requires developing the ability to keep your pelvis in one place.
