👑STRENGTH IS KING👑 . ⁉️Have you ever heard of the Reverse Nordic Hamstring Exercise (RNHE)? . 🏋🏼‍♀️Just like the Nordic Hamstring Exercise does for the hamstrings, the RNHE has been shown to significantly increase the fascicle length, muscle thickness, pennation angle, and cross-sectional area of the Quadricep muscle group; in particular Rectus Femoris. . 📚Although this exercise is primarily aimed at reducing the risk of quad strains and recurrences, it might also prove beneficial during mid to late stage ACL rehabilitation (especially athletes with quad or patellar tendon grafts). I love using this exercise with my ACLR patients, especially those with goal of being able to “sit on the heels again!” You can also use a TRX to help offload the knees of the eccentric force if body weight is too much to tolerate at first. . 👏🏻 Check out @matt_mccahill killing our landmine Nordic quad to shoulder press combo! . 🏷 TAG someone with soccer thighs 😂 .

⚠️ After 8 days of missing, my boy has finally been found!!! I never realized how absolutely devastating it is to lose a pet until this little one went missing. For those of you who don’t know, Rover is my one and a half year old Golden. I got him last month after taking a 20+ hour trip to Indiana and back. After taking a week off of work and spending time with him, it was clear that he was either neglected and/or abused at his last home. Needless to say - this dog is incredibly special to me and I am so grateful he has been found. I would also like to thank every single one of you who either helped spread the word or sent me kind words of encouragement. So many strangers have demonstrated kindness to me over the last week and I am truly in awe. Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you again.
