Long Lever Glute Ham Raise: 4 x 12

These are torture! Putting your arms overhead increases the lever arm which immediately increases the difficulty of a standard glute-ham raise. I use these for higher rep ranges (10-15) for hypertrophy focused work. Give em a shot and tell me what you think!

Anything Useful On YouTube?

Ever wonder what makes protein so good for fat loss?

Why it’s absolutely essential to emphasize if you don’t want to sabotage your progress?

In today’s video I outline the top 3 reasons protein is a MUST for fat loss, as well as which protein sources are best for your goals.

Enjoy and share the love with anyone you think will benefit!

Client Spotlight: Erin

Erin’s been a member in my 1-on-1 online personal training program for the past 6-months and, as you can see, she’s been crushing her goals.

Briefly, Erin lifts heavy things 3x/week, keeps track of her calories, eats a boat load of animal flesh, and is arguably the most bad ass person I’ve ever had the pleasure of coaching.

She originally came to me with the hopes of leaning out for wedding season while working around her insanely busy travel/work schedule and, well, I think it’s safe to say she absolutely demolished her goals.

Congrats, Erin! Keep up the incredible work; I can’t wait to see how much progress you make in the coming months.
