| 0:00.0 | Fuggin Thursday, my Beesh is. What's going on, Beesh? Welcome to episode 958. Daddy just got back from a sick leg pump. |
| 0:09.9 | Now, for some reason, my left knee was kind of getting a little tweaky, a little, I don't know, a little pain right in the top of kneecap. |
| 0:03.4 | I don't know, but I sit down a lot. |
| 0:06.3 | I'm doing a lot of, I do a lot of video editing, and I'm in one position a lot of times, |
| 0:08.0 | whether I'm standing or sitting, I'm just kind of locked in. |
| 0:12.5 | So sometimes... down a lot. I'm doing a lot of, I do a lot of video editing and I'm in one position a lot of times, |
| 0:14.4 | whether I'm standing or sitting. I'm just kind of locked in. So sometimes that starts to kind |
| 0:22.0 | of give me a little iffiness and you might be the same way. So if you're having any kind of knee |
| 0:26.3 | or ankle or something arises, that's where yoga, mobility and awareness really come into |
| 0:31.2 | place. So what I do when it's leg day and it's not going to be squats because I don't want to irritate my knee, for example, I do glute activation. I do glute activation. I do heavy glute workouts. I just do hip bridges. I do a lot of stuff that focus on the glutes. So here's the kicker. Here's a little tip of the day. |
| 0:37.1 | If you have any kind of issues, lower body or upper body, chances are your glutes are not |
| 0:54.8 | activating properly and your posture is out of whack because of it. So if you have any kind of |
| 0:59.3 | knee issues or lower back concerns, make it a glute day. Don't skip the workout. Do yoga, do |
| 1:03.4 | mobility. That's fine. But if you're going to go to the |
| 1:09.7 | gym and you're like, oh, don't just push through and grind through fucking knee pain. Fix the |
| 1:12.0 | problem where it's starting from. So I always opt for glutes on those days. And it keeps me |
| 1:16.7 | consistent, allows me to crush, allows me to lift weights and feel great. I just stay away from |
| 1:21.4 | those exercises that are causing the issues and I get |
| 1:25.4 | to the fucking root of the problem. There are some great leg workouts and glute activation |
| 1:27.5 | tutorials and articles on the Gain Train blog. So if you are not yet subscribed and if you're not |
| 1:32.7 | yet checking it out at Swel NormasX.com, go check out the GainTrain blog, check out the workouts, |
