When the plates are nearly as big as me!! 😄😄😄 . In all seriousness… Why am I fan of Deadlifts? – 1. They are a true test of physical and mental strength – which can be used to determine your current capabilities 2. They work more muscle groups in the body than just about any other exercise – which gives you the biggest “bang for your buck” from a single movement 3. They have a high capacity to overload – which means you will be able to increase your weights quite drastically and be provided with a tangible number to measure your progress . I really believe that deadlifts (sumo or conventional) should be a staple in everyone’s training program 🙏 They offer so many unique benefits which just can’t be ignored 💯 If you’re interested to find out how I recommend planning the deadlift into your training – check out my program BUILD (link in bio) for a FREE 7 day trial 💕. .

Compound VS Isolation 🤔 . 1️⃣ We have Compound movements which are exercises that involve the use of multiple joints and therefore involve multiple muscle groups. 2️⃣ We also have Isolation movements which are exercises that that only use a single joint and therefore only involve a single muscle group. . Compound movements are superior to isolation movements because you are able to apply more load (lift heavier) 🙏 Isolation movements are still very effective to target a singular muscle group which can be great to strengthen a weak area or improve the shape of a lagging muscle 💪 Both types of exercises are relevant to include in your training but it’s important to understand the differences. . Here’s an example using my workout today where I used both compound and isolation movements to develop / focus on specific muscles in the lower body: . QUAD FOCUS 1. Leg Press (Compound) 2. Leg Extensions (Isolation) GLUTE FOCUS 3. Hip Thrust (Compound) 4. Banded Hip Abductions (Isolation) HAMSTRING FOCUS 5. Goodmornings (Compound) 6. Seated Leg Curls (Isolation) .

SQUATS : 5 x 110kg / 242lb This was from week 9 in my program BUILD which is one of the heaviest weeks in the program 🔥 It’s been a while since I’ve handled this weight so I was a little nervous 😬 But this was a progression over the past 9 weeks that gradually lead me up to this and it actually felt pretty good !! 💪 Not every week of training can be super heavy .. these times have to be planned strategically within your training 💯 If you’re finding that you’re constantly feeling burned out – then it’s very important that you manage your workload appropriately by planning a combination of light weeks as well as heavy weeks ✅ And on the other hand if you’re someone that is a bit hesitant to lift heavier – make sure you plan times to push yourself outside of your comfort zone in order to get the best results possible 🏆 #buildprogram
