1/6🧵 The ATG split squat is the ultimate compound lower body exercise. I’ve trained split squats in the ATG system at least once per week for three years. I’m still unlocking new levels of athleticism and mobility from chasing the perfect split squat rep! Here is how I…

I’m not consistently dunking a full-sized basketball yet, but I’m getting closer. I can tell it’s coming soon. By patiently training ATG movements with progressive overload, I’m gradually eliminating weak and tight links at each major joint—ankle, knee, hip, shoulder, elbow.…

I don’t think people really understand how exceptionally STRONG @kneesovertoesg is in these unusual ATG-style exercises. Like, a 42-inch vertical isn’t an accident. And in his case, it’s certainty not genetics either. It’s the result of years spent building freaky strength…

Conventional weight training in the United States originates primarily from the SPORT of powerlifting. (i.e. bench, squat, deadlift) This post is NOT a criticism of those three exercises—I like them! And I focused on them in my own weight training for years. But I want people…

I’m fired up today for Day 3 of ATG Weekend Warrior! If you’re experiencing soreness today from Day 1 and Day 2, consider taking a rest day or train Day 4 (extra mobility and weak links) instead. But if you’re ready to go today, here are four “Do’s and Don’ts” for Day 3:

This is a very good question and an important one for people to understand so I am quote-tweeting! Your calves are made up of two main parts—the gastroc and the deeper soleus muscle. My understanding is that both are trained in every calf raise variation, BUT the soleus is…

1. The nordic hamstring curl might be my favorite ATG movement. Getting strong in this exercise will help increase your athleticism while simultaneously decreasing your chance of knee injury. Plus it’s a lot of fun! But it took me almost two years to get my first rep:
