“Hey the Dr. said I should stop squatting” …proceeds to sit down… 🤨 “Um, well you just did” Seriously we get this a bit, someone gets told they should squat or deadlift. But then wants to be able to pick their kid up, or sit down on a chair. Deadlifting is just picking up a weight off the floor. And a squat is just that. It can be as simple as a sit to stand. Do you want to be able to get on and off a chair? It’s not to be feared, but we then have to undo those fear inducing words. As long as you find the right intensity, load and frequency you can build it up with appropriate exercise selection. Otherwise it’s a self fulfilling prophecy, you don’t move a certain way, you can’t move a certain way because you haven’t done it. Then if you need to do you hurt because it’s too much too soon. Cycle repeat. To be able to do the thing. You have to either do the thing, or the precursor that allows you to do the thing #gym #teamfitclinic #fitclinicau #fittips #exercisephysiolgy
