Hi Cori, how long did your recomp take? And how hungry did you start feeling as you built muscle? How many more calories could you eat compared to when you started? You see, I am NEVER hungry, even though I have built muscle and strength, so it is often hard to feel like I should eat even a little bit more.
@redefiningstrengthOC12 сағат бұрын
Honestly, the annoying answer is - "my entire life." Because everything we've done prior, how long we've had the weight on, our experience with different techniques and comfort with changes dictates how fast we see results. And the more experienced a lifter, the slower the muscle building process not to mention the more precise you need to be. And retraining your body you don't always get hungrier. But you may still need to eat more!

The real reason why my glute medius isn't getting worked right is because I lack two canine personal trainers 😂

Yogurt has milk?! Isn’t milk bad for us
@redefiningstrengthOC13 сағат бұрын
Yogurt is dairy yes. :-) But it has probiotics which are good for you. If you are lactose intolerant it may not be right though for your diet.

Split lunges feel much better on my knees, even with a raised front foot. Better balance and better progression.

Thank you. We need more like you. A trainers ego can get in the way of what’s right a particular client. Kenny Rogers trainer felt he had to show off for Kenny and show him how good he was in his first session. Kenny said he hurt so bad the next day, he quit and signed up for liposuction. I know that’s a true statement because he told me so.

Does placement of the back foot make a difference? Ive noticed when my legs are shoulder width apart, I weeble wooble more versus a slightly larger stance. Is that an ok balance modification? Team 1% still modifying and ok when ego finally leaves the building. 🤣
@redefiningstrengthOCКүн бұрын
So by wider you don't mean further forward from the bench but how they track under your hips or shoulders? They should be basically in line with your hips and at widest about shoulder width unless you're intentionally trying to hit more adductor.

Cori, your videos when you cover a topic are some of the best. I've been doing these squats for years, and follow a few other youtube fitness gurus yet picked up a few new things. I like the shin angle tip though I admit, I still feel it mostly in the quad and secondarily in the glutes.
@redefiningstrengthOC2 күн бұрын
Using the shin angle may help and even assess where your weight is in your foot. Then consider the hip hinge to make it more glute dominant. We do each have different builds and mobilities and that can impact how we use different form cues :-)

How about doing more reps with less weights for shredding
@redefiningstrengthOC2 күн бұрын
Honestly you need a diversity of rep ranges and you can make higher reps or lower reps work especially depending on how you include them. But working out is truly about building that lean muscle which we reveal through our diet :-)

It always blows my mind when people treat Bulgarians like they are a must do for everyone. They are so hard and advanced! Also, I mentioned a TJ's employee told me the organic oats blend was discontinued but now they are back at my store in SoCal and someone else told me they are still in production. I hope the latter is true. Fingers crossed

Hope you modify with the basic split squat to start and really focus on your foots connection to the ground. The more we can regress to progress the more we keep ourselves strong and avoid further injury!

I guess it's time to dust off the stepper that is just holding various bits of gym gear and use that for bulgarians instead of the chair as I do struggle with them. I certainly can't go knee to floor because my knees don't like it at all, but maybe a lower surface will make it more manageable.

Maybe even try the basic split squat to start with some loads and then even use a yoga block to elevate first or stair!
