Why Context Matters: An Insider’s Look at Smarter Training
If you’ve ever spent more than five minutes on Instagram or any social media platform, you’ve probably seen an endless scroll of fitness exercises—squats, deadlifts, banded stretches, balance drills, kettlebell flows, you name it.
But here’s the thing most people don’t tell you: those exercises are just tools.
What they often leave out is context—the why behind the what. And without the why, you’re just guessing. Guessing leads to plateaus, poor results, and worse—injury.
That’s why I want to take you behind the scenes of a real personal training session—so you can see not just the exercise selection, but the logic behind it.
Meet Bill: A Real Client, Real Goals
Tonight’s session features my client Bill. He’s working on improving his deadlift—not just the weight, but the quality of the movement itself. More power. Better form. Less strain.
Now, most people might just throw a few warm-up sets on the bar and call it a day. But we take a more thoughtful route. That starts with an assessment.
From assessing Bill’s movement patterns, we identified a few key limitations—especially in thoracic spine rotation (that’s the ability of your upper back to twist and move efficiently). That might not seem like a big deal, but when your spine can’t rotate or extend properly, your deadlift suffers. Your form breaks down. You compensate with your lower back. You risk injury.
The Warm-Up That Works
So what did we do?
We built his warm-up around the areas that needed attention. For Bill, that meant targeted mobility drills to improve his thoracic rotation and hip function. No fluff. Just purpose-driven movement prep.
And guess what? When we got to the deadlift, the difference was obvious. His form was rock-solid. His hips and spine were moving well. He looked strong, confident, and in control.
That kind of performance doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of a warm-up that’s not just random, but strategically tailored to the individual.
The Takeaway: Smart Programming > Random Reps
Fitness isn’t just about how many exercises you can fit into a workout. It’s about choosing the right ones, for the right reasons, for the right person.
That’s what I do every day as a coach. And that’s what I’d love to help you experience for yourself.
