Is This Strength and Conditioning?

“I don’t know what this is, but I know this is what my son needs right now.  Is this strength and conditioning?” A father recently asked this question as he stood with coach Chris, watching his son’s first full training session here at Beyond Strength Performance NOVA, LLC.  His son wasn’t doing the “traditional” strength...

The Real Way To Train Like A Soccer Pro

Every time I here the slogan, “Train Like A Pro,” I cringe- as it usually involves an athlete trying to attempt some advanced jump when they can barely land correctly, or a soccer player attempting a very complex “trick,” or skills, when they have a hard time skipping with proper form.   I think to...

Getting Conditioning Right, Part 3 of 3

In this final installment of our three-part conditioning series, we are going to discuss cardiac output training, or easy weekend training as we’ve deemed it in-house.  As we laid out in parts one and two, we can’t go hard every day.  While a high-intensity-all-the-time approach might elicit some positive changes on the front end, it...

The ‘I Am Learning’ Mindset

Change is hard—that’s why people have a difficult time doing it.  Life is busy, our time is limited, and 1,000 different things are pulling us in 1,000,000 different directions.  It’s tough to keep on the path toward progress while also managing the craziness of our everyday lives.  That’s the reality we’re faced with as modern...

Why Fast, Sexy Change Isn’t Real Change

Here’s something you’ll find easy to believe: most fitness marketing doesn’t tell you the whole truth—shocker, right? From As Seen on TV gadgets, to hyper-fast fat loss advertisements from the new gym around the corner, to detox programs, we are inundated with information that tells us that transformation is low-effort if we only do what...

Abs!

Things have changed in the five years since we opened the doors of BSP NOVA back in 2011.  It used to be that we had to explain to almost everyone that walked through these doors WHY we don’t do traditional sit-ups, crunches, and other common exercises for “targeting the abs.”  But, for the most part,...

Getting Conditioning Right, Part 1 of 3

When it comes to conditioning, there’s been a concerning trend in the personal and group training world over the last few years: more is better, and harder is best.  Conditioning has been approached with a mindset of, “If you’re not dead after every workout, what was it for?” And while that might be okay every...

Turkish Get Up

Video: How to Do a Turkish Get Up

Often imitated, rarely duplicated, the Turkish Get Up is a beast of an exercise!  Imagine, you’re lying on the floor with a 70# kettlebell, and you need to figure out a way to get that bad mambo overhead, all the way to a standing position, without tearing your shoulder apart and dropping it on your...

Don’t Make Me Look Stupid

“I really want to be in better shape, but I don’t want to work out.  To be honest, I’m terrified to join the gym…  You’re all so fit, I’m sure I’ll probably just wind up looking stupid to you.  Really, you have no idea who you’re working with here- I’ll never be able to do...

Different Grips for Different Lifts

One of the biggest mistakes we’ve been seeing in the gym lately involves the use of the wrong grip for a given lift.  Many people don’t realize it, but we should be using different grips for different lifts.  Today’s video should help to get you off on the right foot- er, um, hand.  Yeah, hands....

What is Pn’s Pro Coach?...

The Weights Don’t Always Go Up

We’ve found ourselves answering very similar concerns from multiple members over the last few weeks.  They’ve been asking questions along the lines of: “Why is it that I lifted this exact weight last week, with no issue at all, and today it feels like there’s a magnet on the floor?!” In short, the weights don’t...

Video: 4 Drills to Help Dial In Your Hinge

The hinge is arguably the most important pattern for everyone to learn.  The hinge sets us up to RDL, deadlift, swing, clean, bent over row, hit an athletic stance, jump, etc…  Unfortunately, it’s also commonly performed incorrectly. In this week’s video, we present four drills to help dial in your hinge.  Now, you don’t need...
