Spent a little time putting together some swipes on various lifts that should be super helpful. 

It can be super overwhelming trying to remember all the lifts, how to bias certain muscle groups, and where to put your hands, feet, torso, etc. So these swipes should help ♥️

If you’re looking for a more specific breakdown on a certain lift, definitely scroll our reels. 

But these should cover a lot of the big rocks and definitely get you headed in the right direction.

Lifting Tips:
1️⃣ Watch YouTube movement videos before you head to the gym / before you lift as needed

2️⃣ Record your lifts on your phone, review them between sets and make adjustments

3️⃣ Slow down your lifts (where possible). When doing things like Squats, RDL’s, etc, try to get a 2-3 second tempo on each lift. Meaning one-one-thousand, two-one-thousand, three-one-thousand before you hit the bottom.

4️⃣ Paragon member? Don’t forget you can submit form check videos to the coaches in our FB group and app and get immediate feedback!

Let us know if you found this helpful!
Happy to answer questions in the comments.

Love to hear what you thought of this episode ⬇️⬇️
What’s your “go-to” foods/meals you love hav What’s your “go-to” foods/meals you love having before you workout? Drop 'em in the comments ⬇️⬇️

If you've ever fitnessed on an empty stomach (or when you just haven't eaten enough), you KNOW the gym can feel like a swift kick to the dick and then you’re all aboard the struggle bus 🚂

We'd rather you NOT feel like hot garbage, so we're sliding in with an infographic! The goal = be well-fueled, feel amazing during your workout, and eat in a way that supports recovery and getting the most from your workouts.

1-2 Hours Before Workout: 
*Lots of protein + carbsss
*minimize fats or fiber (so you don’t shart yourself)💩
*Ex: chicken + rice, egg whites + oats, lean beef + pasta, ground turkey + sweet potato

Mid-Workout:
*anything that's high in carbs
*easy to eat/digest
*Ex: rice cakes, banana, cereal, fruit squeeze packs, shake

After Workout: 
*Lots of protein, carbs, calories
*smash a protein shake/bar if it’ll be a hot min before you can eat
*Ex: chicken thighs, sweet potato, avocado, veggie of choice, fruit of choice

Training at the Azz Crack of Dawn? ☀️
*Smash a BIG protein/carb heavy meal the night before
*If you’re able to eat: protein + carbs!
*could also sip on a protein shake during
*totally ok to be fasted, if that works for you too 

As always, let nutrition be easy / don't over-complicated it. Gotta test and figure out what works for YOU in terms of timing + types of foods

What are you fave foods/meals before the gym? Please share in the comments (you never know who it might help!) ⬇️⬇️

Please know you’re not alone if: *you feel anxi Please know you’re not alone if:

*you feel anxious about the idea of working out in public or going to a new gym

*you're concerned that others will be watching or judging you (or your body) as you lift and workout

*you're new to lifting, nervous about taking up space, or stressed about using unfamiliar gym equipment or machines

These are all super common (and very valid) concerns we hear regularly ♥️
