When I put on The Squat Harness V3 and connect it to cables or resistance bands, it takes me less than 10 minutes to finish a complete leg workout! I know Im going to catch flack from some who will say that there’s no to get an effective workout in such a short time, but I don’t have to switch machines and only had to change the weight once. I rest for 30-45 seconds between sets in order to maintain maximum intensity. If I rest longer than a minute, it feels like Im starting all over again and it takes longer to achieve complete muscle fatigue. It took just 3 minutes to do the 3 sets of squats, 2 minutes for 3 sets of Romanian-style deadlifts, and 3 minutes for 3 sets of split squats. Once I finished and disconnected, I also did some leg curls to top everything off. This workout can be done on any cable machine with low pulleys, resistance bands, belt squat machines, trap bars, and more. I used a custom made platform that connects to the wall mounted cable stack. Squat Harness V3 is a game changer when it comes to leg workouts. You can do everything in less time, with less pain, and maximum gains! Available in original black, army green, and hot pink. #squatharness #legworkout #legday #beltsquat #squats #deadlifts #splitsquats #exercise #fitness

This exercise is a serious assault on the lower trapezius- one of the most important muscles when it comes to posture, and also one of the most under utilized muscles. The benefits to strengthening your lower traps also include less shoulder pain when bench pressing and can also help with pull ups. Before trying this exercise, it may be helpful to start with classic superman’s and regular resistance band reverse-fly’s. The red band I am using is part of the Resistance Band Superset available in my shop for $59 and includes 6 snap-proof bands, handles, and door anchors. Unbeatable quality and value! Once you are familiar with each individual exercise, it becomes much easier to combine the 2. This is an exercise that can be done as many days as needed, as long as you continue to feel the benefits. Go ahead and give them a try! #coretraining #correctiveexercise #calisthenics #resistancebands #fitness #exercise

This was something Ive been wanting to experiment with for a while now; mainly because I have that monster tire just sitting on my back patio and rarely getting any usage. Im not a big sumo-squat or sumo-deadlift guy, but this one felt remarkably different than any barbell variation I ever tried; this one I mainly felt in my glutes- more than I normally would during any squat variation. I was limited to 135# because that’s just what I could fit with those fat plates on the pin. Definitely felt like I could have done more with the proper setup. For those who suffer chronic neck and back pain, this is an excellent alternative (Depending on the nature and severity of your injury of course!) If you have the right setup, give this one a try! #bigtire #sumosquats #sumodeadlift #squats #deadlifts #legworkout #exercise #fitness #beltsquats

I always incorporate bodyweight exercises into my routine; whether as a warm up prior to lifting or as a standalone bodyweight workout. The benefits include improved stability, muscle activation, and posture. The suspension strap reverse lunges are tough, but they’re a sure fire way to feel your glutes! You can start by holding onto the cage for balance until you get it. Sometimes just having your hands close to a stable object is reassuring. The superman planks are great for the serratus anterior and transverse abdominis which are both imperitive core muscles. You can do these exercises with any set of suspension straps, but if your looking for something versatile and addordable, you cant beat Ripped Straps! They can wrap around any pullup bar or anchor in any door frame, and you can swap the handles for any attachment you like. Check out Ripped Straps from my shop while supplies last! #suspensiontraining #bodyweightworkout #reverselunges #planks #coretraining #exercise #fitness

A gentleman expressed some concern about how safe the Ripped Ramp squat wedge is for the knees. That man likely doesn’t even lift, but I digress. I figured: what better way to show exactly how safe it is than to film my 80 year old client using it. He literally requests every single workout that we use it and continues to improve his mobility and balance. Like anything, there’s a right way and wrong way to use it, but a sturdy squat wedge is one of the best tools to improve lower body strength and flexibility. #squatwedge #seniortraining #functionalstrength #lowerbodyworkout #legday #legworkout #squats #deadlifts #calfraises
