ISSA Bodybuilding Specialist

When most individuals think about the sport of bodybuilding, images of big, dumb guys grunting and throwing weight around are often conjured up. This could not be further from the truth! Serious bodybuilders are part athlete, part scientist, and part artist. As a specialist in this area, I can provide training, recovery, motivational, and nutritional strategies to help you achieve maximal muscle growth and optimize physical appearance.

ISSA Certified Glute Specialist

You read that right! Training the glutes is a thing and, yes, it's important for an overall physical look, but there are additional reasons to train your glutes on a regular basis. Enter the Certified Glute Specialist!.   A Glute Specialist is well-versed in the musculature of the glutes and the lumbopelvic hip complex (LPHC). The LPHC has a large role in the activation of the glutes and the muscles of the LPHC work to stabilize the hips, low back, and glutes. It also serves as the transition from the upper body to the lower body and is sometimes called the core.  A Glute Specialist takes this information and uses it to create glute-focused training programs that focus on activating and strengthening the glutes.  Glute training exercises focus on the glutes, but they can have the added benefit of reducing back pain, reducing knee and sciatic nerve pain, improving athletic performance and general agility, and giving someone the aesthetic of a nicer bottom. There are many exercises that a glute specialist learns that target the glutes specifically as well as the surrounding muscles like the quadriceps and hamstrings.
