HAPPY SATURDAY ATHLETES!💪🏼
I hope everyone had a productive week and got after their goals!!
I want to make a special shoutout today to one of my very own BADASS OG clients at gnarly for- @Kim Shrum.
I had the privilege to start working with Kim a few months ago and her progress has been absolutely insaneee. Let’s start with her mobility - when we first got together Kim and I had to work to increase her ankle and hip mobility. She was not able to get much depth in her squat because of these limiting factors.
Having proper mobility in these areas allows for full range of motion when performing exercises like squats are lunges. Without this mobility you are not actively using all muscles in your legs - specifically your glutes!
Kim has worked hard inside and outside the gym to hit adequate depth is now able to squat below parallel!!!
Another win: When Kim starting working with me she was only eating 1,300 calories🤯 You guys, this is the caloric intake of someone who is under 10 years of age and can very much lead to nutrient deficiencies and an extremely low metabolism - which makes it difficult to lose body fat, and nearly impossible to build any muscle.
So for the past several months we have been slowing reverse dieting Kim (strategically adding in more calories). She is now eating upwards of 2,100 cals PER DAY, and that has allowed her to hit new PRs in our sessions together🥹
One of the many life changing benefits of building muscle mass is a faster metabolism and being able to eat MORE!
Kim, you are one of the most driven and hardest workers in the gym, I am so SO proud of you and lucky to be apart of your journey💖
