Nutrition Myths Part 2

Jan 22, 2021 by Marco Sanchez

Teas, pills, and the oh so colorful juice cleanses are all marketed as a way for you to get rid of toxins plaguing your body. Better cancel all your plans or reschedule them cause you’re about to enter into a very toxic relationship with your toilet for the next 7-10 business days. You don’t want to be there but you won’t be able to leave it’s side if you decide to go through with one of these cleanses.

I'm excited to be sharing this workout with you! Every Wednesday for 2021 I'll be posting a workout that can be done almost anywhere. All you'll need is room to move, a way of tracking your reps/time, and about 20 minutes.

Shoulder Pain

Jan 11, 2021 by Marco Sanchez

Chances are that if you've ever lifted a barbell you've felt shoulder pain or discomfort while doing so. I don't want to call this "normal" but it can be common. Our life is full of activities that contribute to this issue but ultimately it almost always shows it's ugly face in the gym. Especially when you're trying to crush a grueling workout. Ignoring this issue won't make it go away, your shoulders are used for almost everything you do. For those of you currently dealing with shoulder pain, here is a quick drill you can do to improve your shoulder mobility which over time can reduce your pain.
