<ul>
<li>Most programs only move in two planes of movement, often neglecting rotational strength & lateral strength</li>
<li>Rotational and lateral strength exercise give you longevity in training and build more stability – but can be more difficult movements so we avoid or neglect</li>
<li>What makes a program effective is also its weakness: you have a program that’s specific to the desired outcome at the expense of another outcome</li>
</ul>
Rotational exercise examples: club swigs, mace swings. Lateral exercise examples: lateral tube walking, Cossack squats, lateral sled pulls.

When To Switch Lifting Exercise For Maximum Results

<ul><li>Red flags: nutritionist only talks to you about macros and is “good” and “bad”</li><li>You want a nutritionist that looks at behavioural components and addresses eating patterns, likes dislikes, binge eating, etc.</li><li>Working with a nutritionist is better than getting nutrition advice from an influencer</li></ul>

What To Look For In A Nutritionist

<ul><li>Interrupt classic moves (e.g., barbell squats, deadlifts, overhead press) with movements in other planes (e.g., lateral lunge, Cossack squats, etc.)</li><li>Higher skill movements can stay in the rotation but adjust tempo to vary (sometimes slower, sometimes faster)</li><li>If you’ve hit a plateau, change the movements</li><li>Change moves for about 3 weeks</li></ul>Ways to vary classic compound moves: front rack squat instead of barbell squat, try Zercher squats, trap bar instead of a standard barbell for deadlifts, Bulgarian split squat, single-leg deadlift with dumbbells instead of barbell deadlifts.

Tips For Better Workout Results

<ul><li>Unilateral and bilateral movements have tremendous value and you want a program that incorporates both</li><li>Bilateral movements allow you to generate more force and move more weight</li><li>Unilateral movements are good for building stability</li><li>Unilateral movements are good for health and longevity</li><li>For aesthetic benefits, you need both unilateral and bilateral movements</li><li>Most sports require some running and running is unilateral</li><li>Building a strong base with bilateral movements is important before venturing into unilateral movements which can be more difficult</li></ul>

Unilateral Versus Bilateral Movements

<ul>
<li>Vitamins have to be specific to you and your needs – get nutrient levels tested and supplement with exactly what you need</li>
<li>Supplement with vitamins you are deficient in</li>
<li>Try to incorporate nutrient-dense foods and use vitamins for assistance in areas you aren’t hitting enough</li>
</ul>
