Got Genetics?

We’ve all heard people say “oh it’s genetics” But how much does genetics actually affect us? 25-40% of what happens to us is not in our control. What we can control is our behavior and our environment. Genetics determines our potential capabilities as well as what we are at risk to developing or more susceptible to. It also influences the way our physiology adapts to exercise and our physiological occurrences. ⠀
⠀
However, by no means can we use genetics as an excuse for diabetes when all you eat is processed sugar.⠀

Putting Movement First

When I talk about putting movement proficiency first, i mean being able to successfully execute the kinetic chain of an exercise. Did you know any of the following issues can put a damper on your movement execution:⠀
-excess or insufficient motor unit activation (typical offender for performing a movement incorrectly)⠀
-Inefficient fiber recruitment (typically leads to lost force output)⠀
-Lack of motor unit synchronicity (typically leads to a reduction in force output or speed)⠀
⠀
The good news is, this is all trainable.⠀
Want to improve your firing rate? Utilize both heavy and fast exercises to activate fast-twitch fibers⠀
Want to have better recruitment? Utilize activities that make the most of time-under-tension⠀
Want to improve synchronicity? Utilize rehearsal rills that replicate patterns and speed during specific plays or for life⠀
⠀

The Basics of Exercise Order

Do you find yourself slapping together different exercises and hoping it works out or even thinking it gave you the best workout ever? I know i’ve been there. Believe it or not there’s a science to exercise order and sadly enough I have yet to see any of the famous fitspos with 1M+ following use correct order.⠀
⠀
Exercise order depends on recruitment goals and is a direct reflection of the energy system-tension relationship. ⠀
⠀
Exercise your major muscles (primary) groups using your compound lifts first, move into unilateral exercises (secondary), and end with exercises that target your stabilizers (ancillary). You need your stabilizers for your compound lifts so avoid fatiguing them first. ⠀
⠀
If you feel like you need help in every which way, I’ve got you! DM me or Email LetlerFit@gmail.com let me help you exercise correctly and effectively.⠀
⠀
If you like creating your own workouts, but are curious to see how they can be tweaked or improved, I help with that as well!⠀
