This statistic about the athletes at our gym is borderline unbelievable!
Don’t believe it? We don’t gate keep around here. Try these methods for yourself and see what it does to your lifts! (Maybe you’ll be stronger than our freshman then😂)

The progress @ryanmcdonald88k has made in the last 5 years is CRAZY. Ryan has not missed a single day of training since then. Not a single day. That type of commitment level is the only way you can hope to make this level of progress especially in such a relatively short time.

Dr. Verkhoshansky was an absolute genius and if you’ve ever done plyometrics, you should be thanking him. This movement definitely looks gimmicky to most people, but its transfer to speed can be great.
Do you think this is real game, or just a gimmick? Comment below!

@ryanmcdonald88k is known for his unbelievable lifts. If you follow us at all its likely he has been on your feed just demolishing weights. What most people don't see is the 10 years of fails it took him to reach the point he is at now. Share this inspirational story!

Unbroken squats are an absolute hidden gem for athletes in the weight room or anybody who just wants to get stronger. By just changing the cadence of the reps you do, the squats you are doing can have massive added benefits that you just won't get by squatting normally.

Going to the gym is a great habit to have lets not get it twisted. But for the athletes who need to optimize their rate of progress, you're going to want to see consistent results. The only way that will happen is if you actually have a training plan! Comment "Trial" to get yours

Can you actually improve a true staple exercise like the lat pulldown? Do you think this would be worth your time to do in the gym? Aside from the stares you might get, there isn't any harm in trying!

To most athletes a 500lbs squat is some kind of mythical idea, and they just believe its an impossible number to hit. While a 500 squat is anything but easy to attain, there are methods like this which can greatly improve your rate of progress. Save this video for your workout!

Most athletes who do olympic lifts fail to improve their technique with any kind of intention. Stop throwing technique out the window, stop just saying GRIP N' RIP! The football players are the MOST guilty of this! How about you get a grip on some technical improvements!

You don't need to have a fully decked out gym or the highest tech equipment to improve your body. The craziest part about this post is that the title isn't even entirely true. You don't even need a dumbbell to accomplish these things, all you need is dedication to improve!

When you see a fail like this it will definitely be in the back of your mind next time you pick up a bar😂
Imagine training for multiple years and you black out this bad at your first international competition! I guess his next performance can only improve.... right?

10 minutes. 3 steps. When you get into this routine you will genuinely feel new ranges of motion unlocking. Thanks to @mobility_doc you have mobility on easy mode.
This video is going to save so many of you, so save this before you scroll or send it to someone who could use it!

If you are dedicating any of your training sessions each week to getting some plyos done, you are already ahead of the curve compared to most athletes. But this simple change can take the results you are getting from good to great, and its something you can change immediately!

Once you know this, you can use the knowledge to your benefit.
Static stretching is usually going to be used to relax and lengthen the muscle. Best for post-workout.
Dynamic stretches are used to introduce your body to a ROM and promote elasticity. Do this before your workout.

Everybody knows to lift with a straight back. But why is it that way? One reason is obvious... you'll get hurt with a rounded back. The reason we are focusing on here is better understood using this visual. A straight back has much more efficient and stable structure.

Using ideas like this are a great way to make the complicated details of lift technique actually make sense in your head. Understanding a concept in weightlifting is helpful to improve, but to be able to visualize it turns it into a tangible thing you can practice. Try this cue!

If we are looking at straight accolades, Tommy Kono is the GOAT of American weightlifting. His training methods are still used today by many people but honestly not enough. The technique we use in this video was created over 70 years ago by this legend!

Being "too tall to lift heavy" is NOT a valid excuse! Ryan, our athlete here, is one of very many thousands of athletes who have long limbs but overcome that barrier simply by PUSHING. You decide your own limits. If you think you're too tall to be strong then maybe you are.
