Chocolate Shakeology Recipe: Vanilla Mocha

Locking joints (i.e. keeping or moving your arms/legs to where they’re completely straight) is rarely a good idea, but it can be a hard habit to fight. For instance, when you’re doing a standing barbell curl, the tendency is to stand with stiff legs. While you want your upper body to be straight up and down, your knees should have a slight bend (and feet at shoulder width). This will make it easier on your joints, take tension off your lower back, and give you a stronger, more stable base to work from. Or if your doing shoulder flys, having a slight angle to your elbow will keep your joints safe while still focusing on your delts. On shoulder press, at the height of movement, your elbows should still stop short of being fully extended. Catching on?

We want to get healthier and it’s hard to do that when we’re injured. Knowing proper form will go a long way to keeping us healthy. SO WHEN IN DOUBT, DON’T LOCK IT OUT!

Thick bars spread the weight over a larger area of the hand. Trainers credit this with making training safer and less likely to cause injury. They also make the forearms extensors and flexors work more evenly which can help avoids imbalances, weaknesses and injury.

Plus, thicker handles stimulate much more muscle activation in the hands and arms. More muscle activation means much bigger muscle and strength gains.

I was feeling defeated and frustrated with my health due to a chronic illness, but Matthew and the group met me where I was at and provided the balance of grace and truth that I needed. I lost 10 lbs during my first challenge, but more importantly I learned to be faithful with my responsibilities (eating well, exercising, etc.) and to trust God with the rest.
