4 Moves To Work Your Quads (if you don’t have a

4 Moves To Work Your Quads (if you don’t have a Leg Extension Machine) ↓

Leg Extension Machines are awesome as they’re one of the very few ways you can effectively target the Rectus Femoris (the biggest QUAD muscle in our legs).

But if you’re working out from home or at a CrossFit Gym, you probablyyy don’t have access to machines. Thankfully you’re not SOL (:

4 Moves You Could Sub:
*Weighted Sissy Squats
*Banded Sissy Squats
*Weighted Bodyweight Leg Extensions
*DB Leg Extensions

In the Hypertrophy/Metabolic Cycles that just began yesterday for all our workout programs, Sissy Squats are actually a repeating movement each week.

No sweat if this week, you just stick with bodyweight. They definitely are not easy, take practice, and it takes a lil trial and error to figure out how to perform them correctly (:

^ Peep the vid + watch w/ sound on for movement tips ♥️

Not feeling your quads during these these moves?
+ Film yourself! You’re likely breaking at the hip and not keeping hips UP and OPEN.
+ Realllllly work on driving knees forward in front of you
+ And lastly, slow it down! It should be taking a few seconds to get down to the bottom (one one thousand, two one thousand, three one thousand..)

If you’re still struggling with these, don’t forget that you can post form check videos in our Members-Only FB Group or in our App Chat and get instant feedback from our Paragon coaches 🫶🏻

Hope you found this helpful.

Costco Grocery Haul for 2 Athletes: 2500 + 3000 Ca

Costco Grocery Haul for 2 Athletes: 2500 + 3000 Cals

Hey heyy! It's Paragon Coach @erikaelko here to show you how my husband @codywescottgolf and I shop at @costco every single week.

Despite living all over the country, we've been shopping exclusively at Costco for our groceries for about 4 years now. We currently live less than five min from one in Tulsa, Oklahoma -- plus, we love to fill up and save at their gas station, too!

We cook + prep about 95% of the food we eat each week and typically dine out no more than 1-2 meals per week.

I eat about 160-170g protein + 2500 cals/day. Cody eats about 200g protein + 3000 cals/day. For two people who lift, play golf, and compete, we go through quite a bit of food, so Costco works well for us because we can get enough to feed ourselves for the week in one trip. Plus, we LOVE Costco's meat selection + quality.

Since we get the same things each week, it makes things super easy. Every week I take a quick inventory of what we have left, put a note in my phone, and make the trip. After 2-3 trips to Costco, it becomes very easy to navigate and find everything pretty quickly -- we are in and out in less than 30 min.

If I am "on the go" (which is 50% of my week, meeting clients or in appointments), I simply put my prepped food in a glass to-go container and take it with me. We prefer not to eat too many prepackaged foods/bars/etc, simply because we feel and perform better eating the majority of our food from whole food sources.

We also eat desserts like frozen custard, ice cream, donuts, etc on a regular basis. But we prefer to save those for when we dine out (versus having treats all the time in the house)

If you have good food, you will eat good food. Period. Let it be easy y'all ♥️

Simple = sustainable. Happy swiping!

POV: end of cycle Max Out Week at Paragon didn’t

POV: end of cycle Max Out Week at Paragon didn’t stand a chance⚡️

(psst: new Hypertrophy/Metabolic Cycles begin Monday Feb 27. This could be you too, come get strong w/ us!)

At @paragontrainingmethods, we believe that life is better STRONG. And that confident, strong, and well-fed looks good on everybody and every body.

Being strong, well-fed, and well-recovered leads to incredible workouts, happy hormones, muscle gain and PR’s, confidence and better body image, and a better relationship with food, your body, and the gym.

Sometimes people get SO stuck hyper-focusing on what their body LOOKS like that they lose sight of health, their mental health, and also on living life. They don’t have to mutually exclusive 🧡

Our Paragon workouts can be done at home or in a gym, and will help you achieve your goals, love your body, and look/feel amazing in just 45-60 min/day.

We’ve changed thousands of lives around the globe with our unique approach to nutrition and fitness — and we can’t wait to change yours! 🫶🏻

Whether your goal is to:
*run AND lift
*workout 3x/week
*lift from home
*be healthy & keep up w/ your kids
*still enjoy things you love (CF, Oly, Peloton)
*or just look/feel amazing

we have fun + effective workouts that will get you there.

Swipe for free workouts from the new Hypertrophy/Metabolic Training Cycles beginning 2/27⚡️

Just over 48 hrs until the fun begins!

Pro Tip: If you slide to our link-in-bio, you can download a massive PDF full of these same workouts. PDF has links to movement demo videos for each lift (in case you don’t know what something is/how to perform it). As well as more details on the upcoming cycles + our workout programs 🫶🏻

Since we just wrapped up a Strength cycle, this cycle is a fun mix of the muscle-building Hypertrophy goodness we’re famous for, PLUS some Zone 2/Zone 5 cardio to help you get your “engine” (aka conditioning levels) back. Make sure to peep our pinned detailed swipe post in our feed!

Don't sweat it if you're historically a "cardi-NO" type of person. This is a pretty different kind of Metabolic cycle than we've programmed in the past.

Previously we created the metabolic conditioning stimulus during these cycles via lots of supersets and minimal rest periods while lifting.

This round really is the best of both worlds: the Hypertrophy ya know and love, more traditional steady state cardio, and once a week fun sprint work. We're pretty hyped, and you should be too.

4-Day Physique will see Zone 2 cardio 2x/wk, and Zone 5 cardio 1x/wk. 3-Day Physique will see Zone 2 and Zone 5 each 1x/wk. Cardio/Lift will get longer Zone 2 and Zone 5 sessions (since it’s 3-days of lifting + 2 days of cardio). 45-Min Physique lives in Hypertrophy permanently ♥️

Keep your eyes peeled as we'll be sharing A LOT of member PR’s + max out vids the next few days.

Everyone SMASHED this strength cycle and we've had SO much fun seeing everyones posts and tags on social media 😍

Cheers to the next 6 weeks of getting fuego (and a lil sweaty) together,

🧡 LCK & Bryan
