For years, squats have ruled leg day, but what if lunges are the real MVP of functional strength? 🤔 In this episode, we’re flipping the script on lower-body training and diving deep into why lunges deserve way more love—and how they complement, not compete with, squats.

💪 Why lunges aren’t just a leg exercise
🛠 How different implements (Ultimate Sandbag, kettlebells, bands) change the game
🏋️ Step-ups: The perfect alternative for those who struggle with lunges
🧠 Programming tips to get the most out of your training

If you’ve ever dismissed lunges as an afterthought or struggled to find the right variation for your body, this episode will completely change the way you see them. Let’s upgrade your approach to leg day and start training smarter, not just harder! 🎙️🔥

💡 Are you missing the most important piece of your strength training? Spoiler: It’s not more weight or extra reps—it’s how well you move.

Most people train squats, deadlifts, and presses, but they completely overlook rotation—one of the most essential movement patterns for real-world strength. And here’s the kicker: It’s not just about twisting more—it’s also about knowing when to resist rotation for rock-solid stability.

In this episode, we’re diving into:

✅ Why training both rotation and anti-rotation is the key to unlocking next-level strength.

✅ The biggest mistakes people make when trying to build rotational power.

✅ How to train smarter, using DVRT drills that actually translate to real life.

If you want to move better, get stronger, and prevent injuries, this is the episode you can’t afford to skip. Hit play and find out why twisting and resisting might be the game-changer your training has been missing! 🎙🔥

What if I told you that the key to lifting heavier, moving better, and avoiding injury isn’t MORE tension—but LESS?

In this episode of Relax to Get Strong, we’re flipping the script on strength training. You’ve been told to brace hard, tighten up, and stay rigid—but what if that’s actually holding you back?

Here’s the truth: Your body moves and performs best when it’s loose, not locked up. More tension = more stiffness, more injuries, and less power. Want proof? I’ll share a personal story about a car accident I walked away from injury-free—all because I never saw it coming and stayed relaxed. What does that have to do with your deadlifts and squats? Tune in to find out! 🎧

We’ll break down:

• Why tight muscles increase injury risk (not prevent it!)
• The science behind relaxation and strength
• How your nervous system controls power output
• Simple strategies to train looser & lift stronger

Don’t let tension kill your gains. Hit play now and start training smarter!
