Chris Johnson PT on Instagram: "Here are 3️⃣ Smith Machine exercises I perform (when people aren’t using it for hip thrusters 🤪) & often prescribe to runners recovering from lower limb tendinopathy & bone stress injuries (BSIs):

1. 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗴 𝗠𝗶𝗱𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗜𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 - excellent for challenging the knee extensor mechanism & lateral hip while creating a nice axial load on the spine & pelvis. It’s particularly beneficial for runners with gym access recovering from patellar tendinopathy & gluteus medius tendinopathy.

Erin Harpe Mata on Instagram: "THE MOST COMMON MISTAKE PEOPLE MAKE IN THE GUARD ✨ 

🌟In Womens’ Intro Class, we covered how to counter the most common bad post you’ll see while having guard: your opponent posting on your neck. It’s such a bad habit. You may get away with it from time to time on a lower belt, but eventually, a higher belt will catch you with an armbar. It’s more of a “strong man” maneuver than technical. 

🌟When passing, you have to think, what is your opponent holding you with while in guard? They’ll holding you in their guard with THEIR LEGS, not their neck. Maintain proper posture, and focus on opening the legs first versus putting heavy pressure on the neck.
