5 Recovery Mistakes Most People Make when they start Resistance Training (and How to Fix Them)
When most athletes think about performance, they focus on training volume, intensity, and skill work. But the truth is, your body adapts and grows stronger outside of the gym—during recovery.

The Importance of Preparatory Training for Safe and Productive Deadlifts for Tall Individuals
Deadlifts are a compound exercise that can yield immense strength and power benefits, but they also come with their share of risks, especially for tall individuals over 6'5". The key to performing deadlifts safely and productively lies in preparatory training that targets specific areas of the body.

Strong, healthy shoulders aren’t built by focusing on just one side of the body—they require a balanced approach that strengthens both the anterior (front) and posterior (back) muscles that support the joint. Neglecting this balance is one of the fastest ways to develop poor posture, imbalances, and even chronic pain. Over the next 90 days, this program is designed to progressively strengthen the chest, shoulders, and triceps while equally developing the back, rear delts, and supporting muscles that keep the shoulder stable and mobile.
