Cooking up some filmed training in the Flex Lab. Gonna build and enhance the qualities of some muscle. What are you working on today?

Hi Andre / everyone! I'm curious about what to do to target glutes. Ive been doing all the core series, straddle, back, squat, lunge, shoulders, knees, and moving into the Cossack transitions. I love it all. The only thing that sometimes feels a bit left out are my glutes. They do get hit under flex in deep straddle, but I'm wondering if there is something a bit more targetted in there somewhere that I could work on, or if there are a few specific videos I could go to. In my day to day, they feel a bit tighter than everything else now. I'm beginning to add some of my own stuff to compliment, but thought I'd reach out!

As much as I had plans to create new training last week and this week, I’ve had to deal with a stomach virus and flu like symptoms. If you are experiencing delays with me getting back to you, my apologies. I am amazed at how quickly one can go from feeling strong to feeling very weak. It is easy for me to take my strength and capabilities for granted, they are my version of normal. As much as I am pursuing goals that go beyond where I currently am, I have to say that this experience is making me appreciate my common daily opportunities and abilities even more. I am grateful for the kind of reminder that is temporary, and look forward to being even more for myself and this community as I regain my full health.

Session Two of the FYN series is short, positionally accessible, and challenging. One of the things that I love about sharing and watching everyone else grow, is I get to grow along with you. This series is unbelievably effective for knee healing, strengthening, and tissue prep for handling more aggressive loading scenarios provided by explosive training and plyometrics. Two different things, but that is a post for a day soon to come. Flex Hard!

I have been exploring in the lab and producing from new discoveries! My glutes and much else are sore from new and effective complimentary training approaches that I look forward to sharing with everyone. They will increase your explosiveness and add mass and contour to the largest and most undertrained muscles we have. Glutes, should be glorious. Hence the descriptive, pending category name, Glutes of Glory. At this point in my lifetime of training I maintain about an 80/20 split between performing that which is purposeful and intentional, vs. what is playful. The playful is exploratory. It is full of wide-eyed awareness and analysis, and it leads to introspection. Play provides the opportunity for organic discovery that is seen through the lens of current wisdom, and always pushes it forward. I enjoy solving problems by stumbling upon solutions during play, and mixing them with what comes from intentions. So often, I find answers to questions that I didn’t know I needed to ask. These are such humbling reminders of how much more I have to learn, build, and grow. Flex Hard!
