Your Achilles tendon and calf need to be prepared for the activities you want to do!

As a physical therapist, I’ve seen plenty of people go from being inactive for years to suddenly playing pickleball, running, jumping, and cutting at 100% intensity.

That’s usually when calf strains, ankle injuries, and even Achilles ruptures can happen.

It’s not that these activities are bad, it’s that your body may not be ready for those demands just yet.

Ease into it. Build calf strength. Progress your jumping and landing. Let the Achilles adapt before you go full send.

If you’re dealing with an ankle injury or want help building a stronger, more resilient lower body, send me a DM with the word ANKLE

Basically called me a Baller 😎

Bullet Proof Your Hammies 🔥

Your hamstrings help support the knees, hips, and posterior chain so your body can handle running, jumping, lifting, and sports.

These aren’t the only exercises you can do, but they’re some of my favorites for building stronger hamstrings and helping reduce injury risk.

Train them. Don’t skip them. Obey them.

Yupp, we want that Apex Adjustable Bench!

Summer’s around the corner so it’s time to build those strong, thick quads 😤🌴

These are a few of my favorite quad-focused exercises to throw into training. There are tons of great variations out there, but I love these because they do a great job lighting up the quads, building strength, and giving you that nasty leg pump 🔥

Progress them week by week with more load, reps, control, or range of motion, and the gains will come.

Also… did you peep that awesome leg extension machine? 👀

That’s the brand new Apex Adjustable Bench by , releasing soon. Check the link in my bio to watch my full review 💪🏻

Strong knees aren’t built with just mini bands and basic PT drills

Load smart. Move well. Progress gradually.
