Fusion Hack: Why Your Training May Be Holding You Back With Shelby Pierce
Hey, fit fam! In this FitBody Lifestyle episode, Shelby Pierce joins Jami and Greg to discuss common training mistakes that could be holding you back. Shelby offers insights to help you get the most out of your workouts and push past plateaus. Here’s a quick rundown:
Key Takeaways:
1. Mind-Muscle Connection: Shelby emphasizes the importance of being intentional with each rep. Focus on the muscle you're targeting, engage it fully, and take your time with movements. This connection maximizes results and prevents injury.
2. Full Range of Motion: Avoid partial reps unless they’re part of an advanced technique. Shelby advises using full range of motion to work muscles completely. This approach builds both strength and flexibility, ensuring balanced development.
3. Choosing the Right Weight: Ego lifting can lead to bad form and injuries. Shelby recommends selecting a weight that challenges you without sacrificing form. Start lighter, master the movement, and gradually increase as your strength improves.
4. Technique Over Speed: Good form should always come first. Shelby suggests recording yourself to catch any form issues, which can be corrected before they become habits. Quality reps trump quantity every time.
