Warm up 🙂

working with the virturvian
(adaptive weight for maximum time under tension)

I love lifting
and coaching
on this thing

Good ol’ 5x5 xo @vitruvian

Here are some of my current favorite lower back strengthening and compression strategies and their intended application.

As always, reach out if you want some in person or virtual coaching— or find me in the mysore room @theyoga.club

I promise, I'm not skipping leg day.

I lift as occupational therapy. I lift because it makes me feel affirmed in my masculinity. I lift because it helps combat negative mental chatter. I lift because I'm vain. I lift because there's more than one way to get kundalini to rise.

I understand that it's healthy for me to have an outlet for exercise that is seperate from my spiritual practice. Things get weird when I try to do mental gymnastics in order to feel good about my actual gymnastics. Remember: i'm vain. Ican just make exercise exercise and yoga yoga. I think it's a good idea for most, but athletes in particular.

Do you practice yoga and lift weights?

Adaptive resistance via @vitruvian
—
Maybe lets launch a little ashtanga early bird barbell club, huh? Hit me up if that sounds fun.

How did i recover after getting hit by a car? Lifting with the @vitruvian trainer.

Adaptive Resistance via the electromagnetic platform is a game changer thats hard to explain but easy to see and feel. The results are, too.

We feature this cutting edge technology at @theyoga.club. Check out my latest article at michaeljoelhall.com/ to learn more about the benefits of adaptive resistance strength training.

Full Body Workout for Rotational Stability.

A really fun circuit using the @vitruvian — with the isokinentic (echo) mode. The apparatus dynamically adjusts resistance so as to maintain a specific time duration at maximjm intensity over the travel distance defined in the firat 3 reps — theyre the ones that look easy. Watch the weight kick in and its no wonder it allows you to achieve incredible strength and mass gains quickly.

Repeat 4 Times, 45 seconds 45 seconds off.
