Episode 156 – The 3 Biggest Mistakes People Make When Bracing For Lifting
Bracing is one of the most misunderstood components of lifting, and the consequences of getting it wrong can show up as pain, strength plateaus, or even leaking during your lifts. In this episode, I’m breaking down the three most common mistakes I see when it comes to bracing. I’ll share why these approaches are missing the mark and some of the ways I address this with clients. If you want to take your training to the next level (or avoid tweaking your back… again), this episode is for you!
