Here we have performing a decline crunch on the smith machine.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Now, the smith machines are weighted to replicate the actual weight of a standard barbell, so this is heavy.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Not to mention I’m purposely cueing her not to touch the bench on the way down. This is simply because I’m forcing her to decelerate her trunk extension through the musculature and not allowing herself to create unwanted momentum through the bench.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Trust me, this is much harder than she’s making it look.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
As much as I preach training anti-movement of the spine, we still have to allow ourselves to get stronger in every movement plane our bodies move within… so trunk flexion is still important (assuming their are no pre-existing injuries to address.)⁣⁣

No matter the goals, no matter the age, your health and wellness has to be a lifelong commitment. ⁣
⁣
So once in awhile stop being so hard on yourself, congratulate you for even the worst of workouts, celebrate the smallest of successes, and go have fun with it and remember to laugh.
⁣
Social media (well majority) is so toxic to the world, especially the fitness world.⁣

So enjoy my man Carson racing his mom down the turf.⁣
