The Perfect Warmup Routine for Strength Training: Move Better, Lift Stronger, Avoid Injury

Image
I’ve spent years coaching athletes, from world-level athletes to middle-school phenoms, and lifters across a wide range of training goals, and one thing is consistent: You’re probably already warming up. The problem isn’t effort or discipline—it’s structure. When your warmup lacks direction, it doesn’t prepare your body for what you’re about to train. A well-designed warmup should make your workout feel better from the very first working set. Your joints move more freely, your positions feel stronger, and your strength shows up faster. When that happens, training feels productive instead of sluggish, and your progress becomes easier to sustain over time. The most effective warmups work in layers. Your foundational warmup prepares your entire body for movement. From there, a short block of targeted prep aligns your body with the specific demands of the session, whether you’re training full body, focusing on lower-body strength, hammering upper-body lifts, or working on power and explos...

How Tony Romo Keeps Himself ‘Aligned And Healthy’ After Retiring From NFL

Image
After dealing with multiple clavicle fractures and two back surgeries that subsequently ended his 14-year NFL career, Tony Romo does his best to keep his health in line. “It’s different than football,” the CBS football analyst says of his current workout regimen while sitting down alongside his father, Ramiro, and raising awareness for prostate cancer with Bayer’s Highlight’s Real campaign . “Football is about strength, explosiveness. Now, it’s more about being flexible. I was trying that then, but it’s more about that now after the back surgery. It’s more about keeping myself aligned and in a position to be healthy.” The four-time Pro Bowl Quarterback’s routine isn’t quite what it was during his playing days, but thanks to his kids, he’s remained pretty conditioned. Geneva Pohl “There’s multiple gyms now,” Tony shares. “Not just going to the weight room, but also the actual gym, because my boys love basketball. And then the field, but I’m always doing something and being active....

Skyy Moore on NFL Durability, Balance Training, and Building a Body That Lasts All Season

Image
Talent is a given in the NFL. What separates players isn’t always explosiveness or potential. It’s reliability under pressure–when things don’t go the way that they were diagramed during practice. As injuries reshaped depth charts and tested continuity this past season for the San Francisco 49ers, they moved forward with an unsettling calm. Their standard never fluctuated, nor did their expectations soften. For wide receiver Skyy Moore , who stepped into a fluid role that demanded constant readiness, the experience reinforced a belief he’s been quietly building: durability as a competitive advantage. “They have a way they do things,” Moore said. “They had a culture, and they knew their culture. It made it easy for me to fall in line.” That clarity—organizational, physical, and mental—helped shape how Moore approached his preparation this season. He wasn’t on a quest to do more, but to do and be better. Not to chase moments, but to be ready when they arrived. The Standard Is The Sta...

Half-Kneeling Pallof Press: The Anti-Rotation Core Exercise That Helps Build Stronger Lifts

Rotation exercises are all the rage because they look cool and athletic. But performing them before this could be glossing over a little-known weakness that’s holding back your bigger lifts. Anti-rotation strength. Your lack of anti-rotation strength shows up when you leak force the moment the weight gets heavy. It is a shift, rotation, or tilt in your torso during presses, pulls, deadlifts, and squats. The half-kneeling Pallof press addresses this issue at the source. It trains your core and hips to lock your torso in place as the external load tries to twist you out of position. Here, I’ll explain what it is, how to do it well, how to know you’re doing it well, and why it builds the strength you need for your big lifts. What Is the Half-Kneeling Pallof Press?

Front Squat Setup Guide: Master Bar Position, Elbow Drive & Perfect Form

Shifting the barbell from the back to the front is a whole different ballgame for your squat setup. If you rush it, the bar rolls forward, pulling your elbows down or folding your torso into a good morning. Miss one detail, and the lift unravels fast. Front squat setups will look different due to mobility issues, comfort, and grip preference, but the principles remain the same. Front squats require a secure rack position, upper-back tension, a solid brace, and a stance that allows you to go deep. This pre-lift checklist walks you through the fundamentals of the front squat setup, step by step. When you dial it in, the bar stays racked, your torso is tall, and your quads will reach a new level of awesomeness. What is the Proper Front Squat Setup? Having the barbell across your chest adds a new level of discomfort to the squat, so pay attention to your setup to avoid increasing it. Step 1: Bar Height and Rack Setup Before the grip, elbows, or stance, you need the bar set at the cor...
