Three exercises every single one of my clients does:
1️⃣ BAND WALKS
All of my clients’ least favorite exercise, but f*** it. This part of the glute (glute medius) gets used every single day—running, jumping, squatting—and the reality is most of America is far too sedentary.
So you’re sitting at a desk all day, then all of a sudden you decide you’re going to squat 150 lbs and wonder later that night why your back hurts. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. You need to build your smaller muscles, too.
2️⃣ FACE PULLS
Again, the smaller muscles in your body are often neglected by weekend warriors. I get it—you only have 2, 3, or 4 hours a week to work out—but these smaller back muscles (mid traps, rhomboids, rear delts) are essential for shoulder health. They allow for what’s called scapular (shoulder blade) stability.
3️⃣ ANTI-ROTATIONS
Trainers are constantly talking about “core” and developing a strong core. Well, what the hell is that? It’s your ability to brace with your abdominals. Anti-rotations literally mean you’re training yourself to prevent rotation. This is a fundamental movement that translates all the way to the highest levels of athleticism.
