Runners Need To Lift And Lifters Need To Run*

Cardio, Fitness, Health, Lifestyle, Strength trainingBy chrispsanchezApril 29, 2019Leave a comment

I think we can all agree on one thing. Exercise is good. I don’t care if your favorite workout has you jumping on bosu balls while you perform bicep curls with one hand and drink tuna juice shots with the other… it sure as hell beats sitting on your couch binging on Dorito’s and Mountain…

Fat loss, Fitness, Health, Lifestyle, Nutrition, Strength trainingBy chrispsanchezApril 2, 20191 Comment

This post was directly inspired by ‘The One Thing’ by Gary Keller, one of my favorite books. It basically states that multitasking is complete BS. I guess if you wanna see how this related to health and fitness, you should probably just click the link below… 🙂 Do This ONE Thing To Break Through Health…

What Raising A Newborn Has Taught Me About Health and Fitness

Fitness, Lifestyle, Strength trainingBy chrispsanchezMarch 18, 2019Leave a comment

So as you may know, on January 23 my wife and I had our first child. A beautiful, healthy baby boy named Nolan. Leading up to his birth, friends and family would tell me my life was about to change and it would never be the same. I kinda already knew this, but it didn’t…

Spice Up Those Side Planks

Fitness, Strength trainingBy chrispsanchezFebruary 6, 2019Leave a comment

Who doesn’t love a good ol’ fashioned side plank? They’re great for lateral core stability (your obliques for you meatheads out there) as well as challenging stability of the shoulder girdle. They’re a staple in a lot of training programs out there, and for good reason. But after a while regular side planks can become……

Today we have a guest post that comes from… well, me. Just on my new business site 🙂 We all have the days where training is the last thing we want to do. Whether it’s been a particularly stressful week at work or maybe you’re adjusting to life with a newborn (OH HEY LIKE ME).…

Take This Tried And True Core Exercise To The Next Level

Core, Strength trainingBy chrispsanchezJanuary 16, 2019Leave a comment

Whenever you hear the term ‘rotary stability’, it basically means you’re fighting to keep your spine in a neutral position against external rotational forces. One of the best exercises you can do for rotary stability is the pallof press. When you perform a pallof press, the idea is to keep your hands in line with…

Start Doing This Exercise: Long Lever Shoulder Tap

Core, Fitness, Strength trainingBy chrispsanchezJanuary 13, 2019Leave a comment

Why? BECAUSE I SAID SO DAMN IT. In all seriousness, this simple (but not so easy) movement is a pretty damn good core exercise. It’s a terrific blend of an anti-extension and anti-rotation movement, meaning you’ll have to resist letting your hips sag towards the floor while preventing them from twisting or shifting. Hot damn!…

Start Doing This Exercise: Single Leg Landmine Deadlift

Strength trainingBy chrispsanchezDecember 30, 2018Leave a comment

First off this movement is not to be confused with the single leg landmine RDL, shown below. The deadlift version of this movement is a step the above the RDL in terms of difficulty. Because you’re now starting from a dead stop off the floor, the elastic component of your muscles and tendons is now taken…

Start Doing This Exercise: Wide Stance Horizontal Chop

Fitness, Strength trainingBy chrispsanchezDecember 7, 2018Leave a comment

This is a good one for 2 reasons. #1 Indirect hip mobility Let’s be honest, you probably don’t do enough mobility work. And I’m right there with you. I like to get in, get out, and quite often mobility work gets pushed to the side to make time for lifting weights or doing more fun…
