What is the Level Method?

Weightlifting belts are needed when moving heavy loads. Belts are GOOD for: Injury Prevention - when you're moving more than 80% of your max, a belt can keep injury at bay while using proper form. More Load - an advanced lifter can increase their max as a belt can help you lift more and make you stronger.... Less Spinal Stress - increase intra-abdominal pressure and decrease lumbar compression, which decreases spinal extension/flexion. Belts are NOT good for: Poor Form - have good form on your lifts before belting up. A belt can help increase the load being lifted while encouraging poor mechanics. Learning Proper Stabilization - if you're just starting out, give your core muscles time to develop. Once you've maxed out your gains, then consider a belt. Old Injuries - if you are in pain WITHOUT a belt, a belt should not be a bandage for old nagging injuries. Address the cause/problem before belting up.

So many people are in such a hurry to succeed that they eagerly take any shortcuts that come across their way. In reality, shortcuts usually lead to disappointments rather than quicker success. The key to LONG TERM SUCCESS is to take the necessary steps to steadily progress rather than skip any of them. Each step is very much like a little success on its own and little successes do add up. Pay your dues to steadily develop toward...s success rather than take detours or shortcuts that can actually set you back. Because part of progress is THE PROCESS. #fitness #gymlife #fitfam #community #strength #conditioning #gains #goals #strengthtraining #functionaltraining #crossfit #gymnastics #olympicweightlifting #endurance #weightlifting #bodybuilding #nutritioncoaching #personaltraining #personaltrainer #onlinecoaching #remotecoaching #626strong See more

Change happens, you don’t need to do a thing. Nature is change, the Universe is change. It just keeps happening, but in what appears to be random directions. Improvement, on the other hand, is a change with a specific desired-outcome and a specific direction. Improvement does not happen without some effort, and the only one who can provide that effort? YES, you know the answer my friend! ... If you want A CHANGE, life will do that for you easily enough. If you want AN IMPROVEMENT, you’re going to have to get involved. . . #grabthebullbythehorns #changeisinyou #magicofthemoment #scorpions #windofchange #levelmethod #levelmethodlegion #FitnessLevelUp #LevelUp #progress #crossfit #weightlifting #fitness #crushyourgoals #fitnessgoals #startnow See more

You likely already know this but it's worth repeating: SLEEP is absolutely crucial to your health Sleep is just as important as nutrition and exercise when it comes to improving your health, performance, and body composition. Good sleep helps our bodies and mind recover, keeping us lean, happy, mentally focused, and healthy.... Chronically poor sleep slathers on body fat, screws up our hormones, ages us faster, increases chronic illnesses, and drains our IQ and mojo. Are you getting 7+ hours of How do you prep for a good night's sleep? #repost @precisionnutrition

Help yourself stay focused. Notice when it’s easier to make wise choices. That’s the time to make a plan, or do the tasks that might seem challenging when your defenses are down (for instance, going grocery shopping).... Slow down. Slowing down will almost always help you make wiser choices. Even a 5-second pause might be enough. Remind yourself. Plan ahead.
