That means you can get great results using dumbbells, barbells, resistance bands, bodyweight exercises, plate-loaded, or selectorized machines. 💪 The key? 🔑 No matter what tool you use, the exercises must be safe, and you need to push to momentary muscular failure. 🚀 🔥 Machines are fantastic because you won’t drop anything on yourself, and technique is minimal—so almost all your energy goes into just working hard! 💯 🌟 Ready to get stronger this spring? 🌟 Book your session today and start crushing your fitness goals! 💥💪

💡 Fun Fact Friday: The Importance of Neck Training! Most people never think about training their head and neck muscles—but they should! Whether you’re an athlete or just looking to improve posture and prevent injuries, neck training is a game-changer. 👉 Why Train Your Neck?
✔️ Reduces concussion risk – A stronger neck absorbs impact, lowering the risk and severity of concussions.
✔️ Improves posture & reduces pain– Weak neck muscles contribute to poor posture, tension headaches, and chronic pain.
✔️ Boosts athletic performance – A strong neck enhances stability, balance, and even reaction time.
✔️ Protects against whiplash – Even non-athletes benefit, especially drivers who want to reduce injury risk in accidents. 👉 Will My Neck Get Too Big?
Nope! Research shows even the most dedicated neck training adds only minimal size, especially for women. What you WILL gain is strength and resilience. 👉 How to Train It?
📌 Neck flexion & extension using resistance bands or machines
📌 Side bends & rotational exercisesfor mobility and strength
📌 Manual resistance training(partner-assisted)
📌 Just 1-2 times per week is enough to see real benefits! 💪 Want to train your neck safely & effectively? Come to TNT Strength and use our state-of-the-art neck machine! Our expert coaches will show you how to strengthen your neck without injury and get the most out of your workouts. 📍 Book your session today and take your training to the next level!

💡Small Steps, Big Strength Gains! 💪🏻 This quote embodies progressive overload—the cornerstone of strength training. 🏋️‍♂️ By gradually increasing the challenge (more reps, heavier weights, or reduced rest times), you force your body to adapt and grow stronger. 🔬 Why does this work?
Your muscles undergo micro-tears when challenged. With proper recovery, they rebuild stronger—a process called muscle hypertrophy. Over time, small improvements lead to BIG transformations! 🚀 ✅ Action Step:

🔵 Let us introduce you to Cinder Block Sandy. 🔵 Sandy has been a TNT Strength client for over a year and recently shared a story with us. 🔵 One day, she was doing some work in her big, beautiful garden. It seems carrying a single cinder block from one end of the garden to the other was getting a little tedious. So Sandy decided to start carrying multiple blocks at a time. 🔵 She didn’t even realize how easy carrying multiple blocks was until she had finished the job! 🔵 Suffice it to say, Sandy’s hard work in her two 30-minute workouts has been effective. 🔵 She would prefer we not divulge her age, but let’s just say she has the strength and stamina of many women a few decades younger than she is now. 🔵 Breakthroughs like this are why we do it, folks. We all want to live a long, high-functioning life and strength training is an important piece of the puzzle. 🔵 It doesn’t hurt that Sandy has been putting extra effort into getting sufficient protein lately too 😉 🔵 Great work, Sandy. We’re proud to work with you!

As of this writing I have been strength training consistently for over 35 years. Like so many on this journey I have tried practically every possible approach, every hip and cool workout program “designed by the newest bodybuilding champ, every set & reps scheme, every split routine, every type of periodization. I have manipulated all the variables, crunched the numbers, tested and measured and kept endless training logs to track, compare and contrast my progress (or lack there of). I have learned a lot along the way. Check out the full article on the TNT blog. www.tntstrength.com

No Time To Work Out? Think Again… One of the most common things we hear as Strength Coaches is “I don’t have time to workout” In the information age with the internet overflowing with ideas, we hear things like we need to do strength training and cardiovascular exercise, stretching or “mobility” work, warming up, cooling down, add in your 10,000 steps per day and let’s not forget cooking healthy meals, and it can all feel a bit overwhelming Check out this week's quick little blog post and see how easy it is to fit in a few brief efficient workouts every week.

🔵 In this video Jesse completes his 10-exercise full body workout in 11 minutes and 1 second. 🔵 Each exercise is performed slowly (although the video is sped up), with good technique, and to momentary muscular failure. 🔵 This is a safe and incredibly efficient way to train that will help you maximize muscle as well as cardiovascular conditioning. Train this way and you’ll be done training when everyone else is just finishing their warm up. 🔵 Share this video with someone who thinks strength training takes too long! . . . . . #rockridge #rockridgeoakland #oaklandcalifornia#oaklandca #temescaloakland #over50fitness
