🦅💥 MOTIVATION MONDAY 💥🦅 “The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.” – Abraham Lincoln To all US veterans and service members, thank you for your service, and Happy Veteran’s Day. 🇺🇸 Today, we honor the sacrifice of all the men and women who have dedicated their lives to a cause greater than themselves.

💥 Deadlift Tips 💥 Conventional vs. Sumo!!! Want to make the most of your deadlift form? Here’s a quick breakdown of two powerful variations—Conventional and Sumo—to help you get more out of each lift! 💪👇 1️⃣ Conventional Deadlift: Narrow your width! Avoid standing at shoulder width (squat width), as it forces your arms to reach out wide and limits shoulder and upper back stability. Instead, bring your feet closer together, directly under your hips. Turning your toes out slightly can give you just a little extra space. This setup allows you to get firmly grounded to press down with power. 🔥 2️⃣ Sumo Deadlift: If a wider stance feels more comfortable, go for a SUMO DEADLIFT! Widen your stance to shoulder width or slightly wider, turning your toes out. Make sure to keep your knees tracking over your feet in a stable position—no caving in! This form puts emphasis on different muscle groups and can be a great alternative for building strength. 💪 Both variations are solid options; it’s all about finding the stance that feels best for your joints and let’s you hit it the hardest!!! LIKE and FOLLOW! COMMENT if you’re team Conventional or Sumo on your deadlifts! 👇 #TucsonPersonalTrainer #PersonalTrainer #AZ #TucsonAZ #FYP #LegDayEveryday #Powerlifting #StrengthTraining #PowerliftingMotivation #PowerliftingLife #PowerliftingJourney #StrengthAndPower #PowerliftingCommunity #StrengthGoals #StrengthGains #StrengthAthlete #StrengthCoach #StrengthProgram #StrengthWorkouts

Client Success Stories

Christian is the best personal trainer, and that's an understatement. He not only cares about your fitness goals, but cares about you as a person. I have him as an online coach for powerlifting and just this last July I placed first at my first meet, the state games. This guy knows his stuff.

I can't say enough about Christian! I initially started training with him to improve injuries that I sustained training jiu jitsu, and to build strength that would benefit me in returning to grappling. His understanding of programming has blown me away and I've seen noticeable improvements in each phase/program. My injuries are significantly more manageable, my strength has increased tremendously, and I have been able to return to jiujitsu. The coaching, support, and motivation I've received have helped me be dedicated to training and excited about my progress and potential. I would absolutely recommend Christian if you're looking for assistance reaching your goals.
