I'd love to share the advice that I wish I had known earlier: please make sure to catch yourself if you are someone who puts yourself down or buys into the saying that "we shouldn't get our hopes up" or that a goal has to be "reasonable."
Why do we add "Load" or weights to any resets? Why do I need extra weight on my head, wrists, ankles or torso? The bullet point version is this:
In actuality, there are 2 ways to load or weight the resets: either on the ground in a rolling or quadraped, ie crawling rocking etc fashion, or upright in a marching or cross crawling fashion. While both provide benefits stated above, any upright movement is going to be more challenging because they require greater coordination. The body has to work harder against gravity while vertical and with less points of contact.
Loading Parameters: Time
There are many ways to program loaded resets (distance speed etc). At GYBTH our favorite is to let the work accumulate with time. There are many reasons for this:Time under tension will facilitate muscle growth, minimize eccentric loading which aids in recovery and allows for greater frequency in training.
Try this sequence out to get a feel for loaded resets and strat progressining on your strength journey!

Realize that we can only serve others from a place of abundance when that Universe first exist within us. You can attempt to fake it, but the Universe can’t be deceived. So, follow the whisper. Follow what feels right within you.

If you’ve been at Got Your Back (GYB) on a Friday, you’ve likely seen this mother: she is fit, has long stunning hair and often has one, two, or maybe all five of her beautiful kids with her.
Actually, that’s not true; it should more accurately read "you are what you digest!" So, you can see how that old expression "you are what you eat," is only half of the truth. Which leads to the point of this month’s blog.
