Training for your Full PotentialOctober 18, 2011 You will never reach your full potential without structural balance. After a good assessment, a well-trained personal trainer can pinpoint your weaknesses and fix the problem in 6-12 weeks. Structural balance is of the utmost importance for any age group, ranging from the 16-year old athlete to the 70-year-old senior citizen. If your body is out of balance bad posture develops, overhead range of motion is limited, knee issues occur, tennis elbow is more prevalent, etc. A good way to relieve or prevent these symptoms from occurring is to commit to training your remedial lifts 1-2 times per week. A remedial workout is not hard and can be tedious, but the time invested to these workouts will dramatically improve quality of life and or athletic performance. In order to make a remedial (structural balance) workout effective, proper execution must happen. PICP trainers are drilled on these exercises because of all the success Charles Poliquin has had using these workouts with his athletes and clients. You can find a certified PICP trainer if you go to Charles’ website, www.charlespoliquin.com. Hit the find a trainer tab and search your area. If the exercises are executed improperly, you will not reap the benefits. For example taking the incorrect angle in the trap 3 exercises will recruit the wrong muscle group. Here is an example of a remedial workout that will be good to execute for 6 workouts before needing to progress to a harder one. A workout routine is only as good as the time the body takes to adapt to it. I would be delighted to take you through a routine similar to the one listed below. |
