Girl how are you going to maximize your booty gains if you don`t know how to optimally booty bias your movements? 😩🫶

💥Glute bias vs hamstring bias RDL💥
⚡️ SIMILARITIES:
•Both are compounds that will work glutes and hams
•Both are hinges that start from the top--> down (as opposed to deadlifts starting from floor--> up)
•Both are too be initiated with the HIPS
•Both take a tremendous amount of skill and practice!!!
⚡️DIFFERENCES:
The primary difference is *KNEE FLEXION* that allows an increased LOAD on either the glutes or hams- however there`s definitely technique and internal cues that need to be applied to the hip hinge itself
🔑 THE KEY- is having a greater stretch on the muscle you want to load the most.
❗️More stretch = more muscle fiber recruitment baby
•Hamstring bias- lessss knee bend will = a straighter leg and more stretch on hammies
•GLUTE bias- more knee bend to allow hips to drive back further and lower = MORE STRETCH/LOAD ON THAT BOOTY BABYYYY.

Nuance to this as mobility allows woop!
I`m pretty damn committed to staying mobile and flexible so my "Hinge" might look different than yours-
👉 Pro tip reminder that MOBILITY HERE COUNTS and you need to do your mobility work like your gains depend on it. Because they do
_

I got to lift with my 14 year old son yesterday- and you know my bicep vein had to come out and show him who`s still boss since he`s 9" taller than me now 😤😂
Hearing him say "DAMN" when I was doing curls definitely made 11 years of training all worth it haha 🥹
Gun is going into his freshman year of HS next week and mommy is his new trainer 😁🥲😈
THIS IS SO SPECIAL AND EXCITING OMG 😭😅
_
Be an EXAMPLE of health and fitness for your children
Take time to fill YOUR own cup, so that you can be your strongest self for them
Teach them about caring for their physical and mental health
Become so sovereign as a family that Big Pharma can`t profit off of you 🤢
Act like the world depends on it, bc it does 💖🥰🙏

*A child-size women 😭😂💪
Let`s make these weights our BITCHHH this week ladies 🔪🔪🔪
I`ve lived a lot of life in my years and have known no outward action that`s as personally empowering as weight lifting.
Ladies. If you are not pushing your physical and MENTAL limits in the gym, you are missing out on your greatest mind/body/spirit POTENTIAL and self confidence
And sidenote: IDC if you`re lateral raising 5lbs honey, you strut into that male dominated free weight section with your crown straight.
You have every right to be there. It`s your choice to own that fact, or not 🫶
I LOVE THIS SHIT.

✅ Comment or DM "MUSCLE" for my free muscle building 101 guide
Because you don`t build muscle or transform your body by accident 🌺
For the parents 💖❤️🩹...
No one prepares you for the deep grief you feel watching your children grow. And I say that with the deepest gratitude and appreciation for being able to do so....
With each new phase there is a version of your babies that you will never get back 🥺
I can`t seem to wrap my head around the fact I have two high-schoolers this coming school year.
What I would give to rewind time just for a day. To be able to hold them again all night.
To me, having children has been the most profound experience of my lifetime- loving 2 people more than seems humanly possible.
All I ever wanted to be growing up- was a mother.

I know it sounds cliche, but a reminder for parents with little ones:
The days are long, they can be really hard, but the years pass so quickly and you WILL want them back
Cherish them.
Let them teach you
Put your phone down, and listen
Let them open your heart
Practice patience
Give every hug you can
Dry every tear
Laugh with them more
Say you`re sorry when you need to
Hold them extra long whenever they`ll let you
And pray that when they`re older they will turn in to your best friends...
Cause it`s the biggest fuckin flex 😎
Xoxoxo
OPEN ME ladies 📣 and take this to heart: Just 3 days of intelligently programmed lifts, executed with precision and progressive intensity--->
Will get you further ahead in weeks than in literal YEARS of guessing your way through all the random workouts in the world
🚫 You don`t need to "do more" or try harder.
🤯 IN FACT- working out too often can be a key factor in why you`re not getting anywhere!
✅You need to come work with me 😘 and learn how to work smarter.

❗️these specific transformations are significant in that these dolls had a 3 day split! Just 3 lifts a week... And NO crazy diets. Duh 🙄
12 week transformation
8 week transformation
6 week transformation
12 week transformation
(In order of appearance)
📣 What would it be worth to have a custom plan that not only had you screaming in the mirror at your gorgeous strong bod- but also felt aligned with your lifestyle?
👙This is what I teach
No more spinning around in circles feeling discouraged and like you constantly have to "do more"
Just learning the proven tools and habits that will transform your body and elevate your LIFE
I LOVE THIS SHIT!!!!

#nashvillebaby
A good health and fitness coach is quite literally the front lines to a trillion dollar "health care" system that wants to keep you physically and mentally sick and dependent.
❓You think a trainer is expensive?
❓What is the cost and impact on your entire life if you stay where you`re at?
It`s truly insane how much simple lifestyle choices significantly impact our entire wellbeing for better or worse
It is heartbreaking how greatly just a sedentary lifestyle in itself directly leads to a multitude of chronic illness and diseases...
Aside from the drastic improvements to physical health and appearance, EXERCISE improves self esteem, sleep quality, stress levels, mood, cognitive function, social interaction, business performance..... ETC!!!!!
💥Movement is life
💥Muscle is life
GYM IS LIFE 🥹😈🦋🧚♀️
Every choice you make today will become your future self. The cool fkn thing is that every single day is a new opportunity to become whoever you want
