This training session combines work for triceps, core and my ultimate hip strengthening routine.

I've had that chronic stiffness in my front thighs for about two years or so without knowing what's causing it!

No matter how much I foam rolled, trained my hip flexors or stretched them, looked for pressure points or adhesions, nothing seemed to do the trick.

Typically I noticed the stiffness when trying to stretch my quads or hip flexors. It just did not feel right!

Then, one day I thought hey, let's work on my hip extension power from a rectus femoris standpoint! Wow, I was so weak! And then I noticed my muscles relax and feel loose and supple! I was ecstatic!!

How come the reverse Nordics worked like a charm? The rectus femoris goes through a very intense stretch in the eccentric phase, then it gotta contract to return to the top. The unique thing about the rectus femoris is the fact it is the only quad muscle that runs over the hip.

Now I feel like brand new in the front hips area, I feel more solid in my squats and my hamstring on the left is now calm and healed up again.

I love this. I love to learn and to keep figuring my body out. When there is a new pain or setback, I keep looking to find the reasons.

And this is why you are here too, to get more tips and help you probably experience at some point in your training life just like I do!

-How to find my workouts & programs

Here’s a quick guide for my clients so you can find what you’re looking for!

Thank you for your patience, understanding and support for what I’m building bit by bit every day. 

My website catalog is not set up to provide detailed multiple tier navigation and I don’t have the skills necessary to build a real simple website!

I appreciate your feedback you provide, it helps me improve and find new ways to structure my programs and fitness content.

Many of my videos lack descriptions, I am working on it, and a lot of videos are uncategorized so they are not showing up. One day at a time!

I started this list May 29th and it is now on my list to keep building and keep bettering!

Hello Superstars,

It's Sunday and I have the Sunday Blues even though I do my 10 min Laughter sessions in bed every morning.

It takes real commitment for me to not go down and feel sad for no reason! Now let's go over something important about training techniques.

The upper back is the body area that requires the greatest technical skills of them all.

You might have seen my young self do pull-ups and pull-downs with poor attention to perfect form, and now this is what you think is the correct way to train to gain strength and muscle mass in the upper back.

Don't get fooled by seeing obvious muscle mass being activated in my muscle training: of course the muscles are working, but how well and how efficient?

The gym rat style of pushing down on pull-downs and pull-ups is a pet peeve of mine nowadays. I know that is how I´d tear my shoulders sooner or later.

I already did tear both my shoulders, one of those times was doing pull-ups on my 40 years birthday! What a great gift, this challenge to rebuild my torn rotator cuff transformed my back training.

In my work as coach and fitness trainer I host form check sessions and technique workshops. I meet my clients on ZOOM, WhatsApp or Google Meet to practice how to lift to gain strength and muscle.

Why does safe training becomes a necessity as you grow older? Your joints won't let you get away with sloppy form anymore!

Why do many clients resist relearning and feel that decades of training means you have nothing to improve upon for better gains? There is a lot of pride and fear of judgment, nobody wants to be a beginner! It is ridiculous and it limits self-growth and muscle growth.

Another reason for resistance to relearn how you lift is not being aware of the lack of proper form.

The way we train when we're young is not the way we keep training for life, that is for sure.

So...If you just like me notice your body says no to lifting if you're not focused on how you do it, then you have two choices:

Either relearn to keep training and building... Or keep getting strains, aches or injured in the same areas over and over!
