⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As an “old guy” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As an “old guy” planning retirement, doing something about staying healthy in my upcoming retirement has become very important to me.  I tried the club gyms.  They pretended to be focused on health, but it was easy to see the real driving factor was profit margin.  Facilities would be dirty and maintenance slow.  Club Trainers would come and go.  Experience was generally entry-level.  Passion from the Trainers was often phoned in.  Paid training sessions would be canceled so that Club Trainers would have their time freed up to solicit new business.  The Club is all about the Club and not the individual.
I was luckily running into Ryan.  He’s conducted 1,000’s of training sessions.  He is genuinely passionate about fitness and the individual, right down to customizing workouts to accommodate age and disabilities.  I’ve been training with him for over 2 years.  Now that he has been able to move away from providing training in the Club atmosphere and into his own private gym, built for individualized fitness, I find it an ideal fit for my goals.  I also like not having to deal with club contracts or membership fees.  If you're serious about developing and maintaining a solid fitness plan with the help of a true expert, I recommend you see Ryan at Valley Strength and Fitness.

In my opinion, the cable lateral raise is a better In my opinion, the cable lateral raise is a better exercise for shoulder growth than the dumbbell lateral raise because of the more lengthened focused resistance profile. An added bonus with this exercise is stability against the bench and being able to pin the traps down, critical for maintaining proper form, especially for those reps near failure.

We started training twice a week. No excuses, just steady work.

Fast forward 18 months—she’s down 50 lbs, her knee’s strong and mobile again, and that spark in her eyes? Yeah, it’s back.

Incline bench triceps pressdowns are an excellent Incline bench triceps pressdowns are an excellent way to eliminate common mistakes and ensure your triceps are doing all the work. When performed standing, heavier weights often shift the focus away from the triceps, turning the movement into more of a core-bracing exercise. Using an incline bench helps isolate the triceps and keeps the tension right where it belongs.
