@underthebar closing out the @elitefts Strong(er) Sports Training Success Summit. VIP training session tomorrow n that’s a wrap! Always come out of these things with a ton great ideas and motivation. I think one the biggest benefits is taking a second to sit back and realize how lucky we are to be able to do what we are doing and why we’re doing it. I have so much gratitude for all the awesome people I’ve been able to be around and learn from over the years because of ‘lifting weights’. Thanks to everyone who came out and made this weekend awesome! #mymfsvsyourmfs #thisiscoachinggnotaGDfratparty #truthoverhype #love #peace #blessed #unicornpunchers #conjugateu #getstronghurtfeelings #elitefts #weretakinoverthistown #operationreigningblood #maxeffort #focustruststrength #LLPO #dontbeasheep #custombuilt #mymfsvsyourmfs #squat #bench #deadlift #jumps #agility #chains #bands A post shared by Nate Harvey (@nateharvey2600) on

Wisdom from one of my closest friends, @coach_jl from this weekend @elitefts . And wow, am I getting a lot of shit for not being there. @chadaichs @alwyncosgrove @underthebar #Repost @coach_jl (@get_repost) ・・・ Meet your clients where they are at! This is small except from my presentation at @elitefts today. All too often coaches try to “encourage” clients to make the journey to where they want them to be. Instead they should go to where the client is and take the journey with them together. Please stop yelling from the top of the mountain if you are a coach or personal trainer and you will help a lot more people. #personaltrainer #strengthcoach #fitness #droptheego #tpsmalden #bostonsstrongest #fathead #elitefts

It was great to finally get a chance to stop by and check out the new EliteFTS facility, see @coach_jl and Eric Serrano’s presentations, and catch up with some old friends and teammates . I haven’t been around EliteFTS in-person as much the past year with more of my time focused on my new job at UC - but it was great to see some great people and hear about what’s going on in their lives. Always so happy to hear when teammates have awesome things going on hopefully I’ll get a chance to come back around soon. . . #teamelitefts #elitefts #powerlifting #bodybuilding #crossfit #strongman #raw #squat #squatting #strength #power #speed #usapl #fitness #fitspo #wellness #gym #deadlift #deadlifting #bench #benchpress #squats #deadlifts #overheadpress #universityofcincinnati #campusrec #leadership #coaching #motivation #discipline A post shared by Joe Schillero (@joeschillero) on

JL HOLDSWORTH (@coach_jl ). Speaker number one of the @elitefts Stronger Sports Training and Success Summit. . Owner of The Spot Athletics @thespotathletics (2 Locations/ 20,000 square feet each). . 905 lb. squat, 775 lb. bench press, and a 804 lb. deadlift. . Co-Founder of Reflexive Performance Reset (@rpr_system ). . Coach JL always comes out with a bang. This was no exception. Over the last few years JL has given me some of the best business and coaching tips and information I have ever received. With his intimidating outward appearance and his long history of being a tough guy, it can be easy to simply assume he is merely a powerlifting tough guy. That is not the case. JL opened up and shared with us how to truly connect with clients and athletes in order to grow our business. How to drop our ego and do what is right for those we are trained to serve. And how to meet our clients exactly where they are and to do everything we can to support them. An emotional presentation that I will remember for a long time. Thank you Coach JL. I consider you a mentor and a true leader in the field.

2nd to last day at my beloved RPAC & i’m really not okay if you didn’t see my stories i attended an AMAZING @elitefts event that literally changed my life...like 30 lbs. increase in bench on a 16 hr. fast kinda change i learned some extremely useful information from insanely knowledge & talented people, like @underthebar who personally helped me perfect my bench, squat & deadlift w/ detailed cueing! now i want to show YOU GUYS! ✱✱✱ SWIPE to see 1) me demonstrating + talking through the motion (SOUND ON ), 2) guiding someone through this technique during a heavy bench single AND 3) my bench PR ✱✱✱ DISCLAIMER: these cues may NOT WORK for you & that’s ok! this is what i personally benefitted from & toon the basic to implement on others, if this doesn’t feel like it’s helping you & there’s other things to work on, move right along BUT be aware that sometimes feeling uncomfortable means it’s exactly what you needed, that’s how it went for me ✱✱✱ GRIPPING THE BAR: you have to SQUEEZE THE S**T OUTTA THAT BAR! it’s helpful to have someone pushing against the bar w/ their hands wide so you can press your hands against theirs & can put all the pressure on the bar w/o worrying about it flinging anywhere. think about curling your fingers & pressing your pinky into the bar! GLUTE BRIDGE + PLACING THE SHOULDERS DOWN & TOGETHER: something i struggled w/ doing a lot! if you glute bridge as high as possible it allows you to move & situate your shoulders/back. for me i had to think about squeezing my shoulders blades together and pushing them DOWN first THEN PRESSED together! if this makes your back sore, you’re doing it right BRACING THE CORE & TIGHTENING THE LEGS: when moving your legs/feet to the ground, don’t put your heels on the floor but push your toes down so hard it’s like your going against resistance to get your heels down. you should be SO TIGHT & BRACED if someone was hitting your legs they wouldn’t move. as far as breathing + bracing the core, take a breath through your nose then mouth to get as much air as possible & flex the abs while puffing out your chest. you should FEEL the force moving from your legs to your chest!
