What is Your Weakest Link

Often times someone will come into our facility with a weak link and when that weak link is identified and corrected all their lifts tend to go up. This weak link could be caused by a lack of flexibility, mobility, or strength. An example of this would be someone with a weak core. If a person comes in who can do lunges with a good amount of weight but they cannot squat well it means that they have a weak core. The body is not allowing the person to squat a lot of weight because it wants to protect then spine. Your body will always try to protect itself and thus will not allow you to lift as much weight. Once you strengthen this persons core then their squats will improve. Once their squats improve their legs will get stronger and all of their other lifts will also improve. One of the secrets to a good program is working on your weaknesses. By eliminating your weaknesses you will be able to stimulate your muscles on a whole new level.
