- preheat cooking pan and prepare with a non-stick spray</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
- in a small dish, separate the yolks from the eggs, leaving only the whites. Be sure to remove any shells<br />
- pour the egg whites into the cup of a Magic Bullet or Blender<br />
- add the banana and dry quick oats<br />
- add the desired amount of Stevia and cinnamon (I just shake it in the cup, but would estimate 1 tbsp of Stevia and 1/2 tsp cinnamon)<br />
- blend on high until the oats break down and the egg whites become bubbly<br />
- pour several portions of the mixture onto the hot cooking pan<br />
<br />
While the pancakes begin to cook, chop the walnuts and set aside.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
- flip the pancakes once several small bubbles form in the mixture, and when the edges appear dry<br />
- cook for only a short period of time once flipped, checking underneath often<br />
- stack warm pancakes on a plate<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
- top each pancake with a spoonful of <a href="https://www.jaclynwilson.ca/2013/06/whipped-coconut.html" target="_blank">Whipped Coconut Cream</a> and sprinkle with the chopped nuts. Chill to firm the icing or enjoy it soft like whipped cream. Please note though, the Whipped Coconut Cream will begin to melt once on the warm pancakes.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Glamorous, fun and exciting! Having a photoshoot is a great way to spoil yourself or celebrate a milestone. In this blog entry, I'll be focusing mostly on fitness related shoots, but some of the <b style="font-style: italic;">Tips to be Prepared for a Photoshoot </b>could be used for other types of shoots like corporate headshots, or maternity. So let's get started with some things to do leading up to the shoot and also things to take with you on set.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b><span style="color: #45818e;">Things to do before:</span></b><br />
<br />
<b>Remove Body Hair</b><br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
This includes obvious areas of the body, like a ladies legs, but also other areas that aren't so obvious. If you have dark or longer arm hair, that can sometimes show up under the lights on set. This would depend on the types of photos you are taking, but is something to consider shaving when preparing the day before your shoot.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Don't forget to groom facial hair. Have eyebrows freshly shaped and remove upper lip hair if needed. This includes the gentlemen! Any scruff should be groomed and hair styled appropriately for the shoot. Cameras capture incredible detail these days, and we want to be our best. As well, tidying up areas like eyebrows and facial hair helps accentuate positive fascial features.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<b>Nails</b><br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Nails are such a small detail, but not to be forgotten. This doesn't mean you need to get something fancy done, but they should look clean and well shaped. Think about the photos you will be taking. What is the vibe of shoot? Generally speaking, fitness photos will focus on your physique and therefore, it's important to not distract with crazy or colourful nails. Having a neutral colour is usually best and don't forget about your feet! If they might be showing, it's important to trim, file and apply fresh polish.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<b>Skin Care</b><br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Having healthy vibrant skin is very important for a physique photoshoot. Leading up to the shoot, you'll want to ensure you exfoliate thoroughly all over, focusing on dry areas like the knees and elbows. Moisturizing every day will also help skin look youthful. After each shower and exfoliation, apply a quality lotion all over. It's important to treat the face similarly but with the appropriate products. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<b>Spray Tan</b><br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Once the skin has been well prepared as already mentioned, it's recommended to get a spray tan. Tanned skin will photograph better, look healthier and also show more definition. Spray tans take time to develop, so booking the day before should give plenty of time for the solution to set. In the case where you've received already received a competition tan, it's very important to baby your skin. Be conscious of all areas of your body while showering. A competition tan can sometimes become blotchy, rinsing or wearing off from different areas at different times. Don't scrub too hard to help maintain colour, and moisturize all over. Sometimes a tinted lotion can help even out any colour differences.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<b>Be Well Rested</b><br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Nothing gives an unprofessional impression like being cranky and tired. Often times shoots begin early in the morning to maximize natural light and/or time. If you are away competing and have a shoot the next day, resist the temptation to party with friends and stay up late. Not only will it give a better impression to the photographer, it will also be more fun for yourself. The only way to capture great images is to feel great and be having fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<b><span style="color: #45818e;">Things to take:</span></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Wardrobe Options</b><br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Always take plenty of wardrobe options for a photoshoot. Usually you'll have some idea of what type of clothes are needed, but it's better to be extra prepared. Gym shoot - bring several bottoms (shorts and pants) and a variety of tops (sports bras, tank tops, sweaters) along with several sneakers. Boudoir shoot - bring sexier pieces that can suit any type of backdrop. Beach shoot - have a variety of bikinis, mix and match is often the best. Lifestyle shoot - think jeans, leggings, t-shirts, jackets. Don't forget footwear for each possible outfit!</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Undergarments can't be forgotten on a shoot day! Consider all the outfits you have, and what will best suit those options. Some photographers have a small selection of clothing that can be used. Let's be real though, you never know who has worn the pieces previously. It's important to check that the garments have been washed and for hygienic reasons, still always wear small seamless thongs under what you choose.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzXGWJ3hYH_-9vYIqyEX9RsCpBk5bF4d6DOWatsk_fcuLk-UjJPyj7lv6nc0KfLaitfWs2xHymlN7VfJ2_Y-GpRY5i7esEt0j8KotO9fl2U6I7is_MTqDHCtL9YN811SBHZ8RSzdE-3dL3/s1600/Jaclyn+Wilson+-+Tips+to+be+Prepared+Photoshoot+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzXGWJ3hYH_-9vYIqyEX9RsCpBk5bF4d6DOWatsk_fcuLk-UjJPyj7lv6nc0KfLaitfWs2xHymlN7VfJ2_Y-GpRY5i7esEt0j8KotO9fl2U6I7is_MTqDHCtL9YN811SBHZ8RSzdE-3dL3/s320/Jaclyn+Wilson+-+Tips+to+be+Prepared+Photoshoot+3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<b>Accessories</b><br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
It can sometimes be the small things that make a photograph extra special. Once you have all your outfits collected, set aside some accessories for each. Using the ideas above, a gym shoot will usually not have any jewelry worn but maybe a ball cap would be useful. For boudoir shots, you can get away with larger earrings and necklaces and even stockings. On the beach, cute towels and cover-ups are useful while the lifestyle shoots might benefit from scarfs, bags, and hats. Bringing too much and not using something is better than wishing you didn't leave it at home!</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<b>Make-up and Hair Products</b><br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Always bring your own make-up and hair products! This goes for whether you have a professional MUH artist or not. You never know what can happen, so bring your own set products to the set with you. Touch ups are always needed during longer shoots, even if simply to use powder to reduce shine. Also consider how many looks you'll be shooting during the day and plan the hair and make-up around this. A natural look with hair back is more appropriate for athletic shots, while hair down and make-up accentuating the eyes or lips works better for a sultry look. Also bring and or apply a natural looking artificial eyelash. If using a professional, they don't always supply the lashes so be prepared just in case. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<b>Lotion</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
You want to have vibrant healthy looking skin during a shoot. Any dry patches or uneven spray tan will not be a good look. Using a tinted moisturizer will help even out colour and give a light glow to the skin. Be sure not to get crazy and apply a heavy oil that will just look greasy and well, to be honest, tacky.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<b>Food and Water</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Depending on what type of shoot you are doing, it can possibly be a long day. If gathering any amount of content you can expect a half day to a full day shoot. You always want to keep the day flowing as the photographer sees fit, so be prepared with food and water. If doing a fitness shoot, you likely have been following a set nutrition plan. In this case, just follow the same nutrition plan so you don't fall off track and maintain a tight physique. Sometimes introducing new foods can cause bloating and water retention, so best to stick to what you can trust. In addition, have enough water on hand to make it through the shoot. Grabbing some sips during a set change will help you stay hydrated.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, these <i><b>Zucchini Fries</b></i> are addictive!</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
This <b>Food Friday</b> recipe allows for a slight indulgence while still being healthier<br />
than it's pub version. Makes a great appetizer or side dish to mix up your<br />
vegetable serving with dinner.<br />
Pairs great with Greek yogurt as a dip!</div>

As you've probably noticed from my <a href="http://www.jaclynwilson.ca/p/food-friday.html" target="_blank"><b><i>Food Friday</i></b></a> recipes, I love treats! I guess you could say I have a sweet tooth. Most of the day will pass without a hitch, but it's at night that I want to indulge in cake, pastries, and pie. My favourite way to rid those sweet cravings, without giving in of course, is to drink tea. For me, it can't be a regular tasting tea like earl grey or green, but it must be a fun tea! Some of my favourites are blueberry, raspberry, sweet orange and licorice. Next time you are struggling not to eat a world of treats, give tea a try! Often times it's enough to distract you until the craving passes!</div>

A moist muffin with a soft delicate flavour, these <i><b>Matcha Muffins</b></i> are delicious!</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
This <b>Food Friday</b> recipe is gluten free, made without flour or even butter. In addition,<br />
matcha powder (made by finely stone grinding specially grown green tea leaves)<br />
is a powerful antioxidant and detoxifier. </div>

What an adventure deciding to relocate my business has been! Adventure is probably an understatement. There has been emotions of excitement, frustration, pride and a sense of being totally over my head all rolled into one. Despite the roller coaster of renovating the new space, I'm happy I decided to take this leap of faith and expand.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Every single wall had been painted brown. Anyone who knows me and the importance I put on brand cohesiveness, knows brown would be a no go. Task number 1, paint every wall white or the blue I use with <a href="http://www.jwcouture.ca/" target="_blank">JW Couture</a>. I invested in the best paint/primer combo but despite this it still took 4 coats to cover the previous colour. I was at the end of my painting patience, let me tell you. There was even a wall with wood textured wallpaper on it. That took 2 people 4 hours to remove.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Next task was to get the long wall of posing mirrors installed. This also had it's challenges, as I got the run around from a company who was supposed to take care of the job. Needless to say, sometimes a young gal just has to get her father involved to be taken seriously. After struggling to communicate and form an agreement with the company for 7 weeks, my Dad had everything solved (for half the price) and on the walls in about a week. The mirrors are incredibly beautiful and the posing studio is easily the highlight of the space. </div>

Part of creating the right space meant incorporating items that have meaning to me. Some of these items were family heirlooms and also pieces that would be built from scratch or refinished. It's these pieces that make my studio so welcoming and full of positive energy. My entire family has given endlessly to helping me establish this expansion, and I'm forever grateful to them. I look around the space and smile, knowing how much love I'm surrounded by. Here's some pics of just a few pieces, some I haven't photographed to keep close to my heart. </div>

Hope you found this behind the scenes interesting. It's been a really exciting time but I wanted to share some of what went into this move. Renovations began in mid November and continued straight until February. Working with limited resources and doing everything without hired help contributed to the extended time frame. However, all was necessary and only makes me more proud and content with the such a wonderful work space. Thank you to everyone who helped make this dream a reality.</div>

I'm basically obsessed with granola of all kinds! Since homemade is always better,<br />
I decided to try making <i><b>Carrot Cake Granola</b></i> for a healthy snack<br />
(and also to use up the carrot pulp left over from juicing). Delicious and healthy,<br />
enjoy this <i><b><a href="http://www.jaclynwilson.ca/p/food-friday.html" target="_blank">Food Friday</a></b></i> recipe by the handful, with almond milk or on Greek yogurt!</div>

My favourite time of year! I love Fall, making costumes, time with friends and...treats! haha Halloween nicely wraps all those things together. I've been busy making competition suits for the many bodybuilding shows in Atlantic Canada, and just finished working registration for the New Brunswick Championships. Judging the show tomorrow, and for that reason I'll be relaxing at home instead of celebrating Halloween. Guess that's what happens when you grow up, other things take precedence. ;) Hope you all get to dress up in crazy costumes and enjoy the night with friends!<br />

- you will now land in the ending position, which you probably have noticed is the same stance as the starting position.<br />
- one repetition is completed when you have launched off each leg. Continue leaping until the desired number of repetitions is completed.</div>

<b>Ending Position</b><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This exercise can be altered to change the difficulty. If a beginner, pause between each leap. As efficiency improves, continually decrease the amount of time you touch the floor to eventually relaunch immediately into the next leap. Another great adaptation of this exercise is to complete all repetitions on one leg before switching to the other. This adaptation means you wouldn't switch legs mid air, and instead would continually land in the same starting position.</div>

It seems like people are simply obsessed with Nutella! What's not to love about a sweet chocolate hazelnut spread anyway? This <i><b>Food Friday</b></i> version of<i><b> Homemade Nutella </b></i>is far healthier than the store bought variety and has a flavourful wholesome taste. Enjoy on some apple slices, bananas, stirred into oatmeal or even spread on rice cakes…the possibilities are endless!</div>

Here is the second instalment for achieving <b><i>The Perfect Stage Tan</i></b>. How you treat the skin before getting spray tanned is just as important, if not more, as how you treat it after. Check out <i><b>Part 1</b></i> of <a href="http://www.jaclynwilson.ca/2014/06/tanning.html" target="_blank">The Perfect Stage Tan</a> to see some tips and things to expect when getting your competition colour applied and how to keep it flawless! This post lists my step by step process for prepping the skin before a competition. </div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>One week out -</b> I begin to exfoliate my entire body in the shower using a puff and moisturizing shower gel. I also fully moisturize my skin after showering with a natural product, my favourite right now is Shea Butter. This product is a bit greasy but I find it really makes sure my skin hydrated and smooth.<br />
<br />
<b>Monday before -</b> I wax any areas of my body where the grows thicker or more quickly. This is my lower leg and bikini. Waxing too close to show time can cause skin irritations, particularly since the tanning solution will be applied on the skin. Several days before allows the skin to calm down before getting tanned.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Tuesday before -</b> I shave any areas of my body where the hair is light and fluffy, so my thighs and arms.<br />
<br />
<b>Wednesday before - </b>If using a tanning bed, I wouldn't tan beyond this day. I'd especially avoid tanning during peak week if you burn easily.<br />
<br />
<b>Friday before -</b> I have my final shower immediately before getting tanned. This is the most important part of skin prep! Using a non-moisturizing shave gel and a fresh razor I shave all areas of my body. This would be my entire arms, underarms, hands, butt, bikini area, thighs, lower legs and feet. I personally don't shave my stomach or back but many competitors do. The tanning solution will colour any hair and any fuzz whatsoever will be visible under the stage lights. The times I've seen a halo of blonde hair around a woman on stage is countless. Just shave it off, it won't grow back any different than how it was before.<br />
<br />
Then I shampoo my hair a couple times, since I have oily skin and won't be able to wash it again. Some ladies will wash in the sink the morning of, but I just can't bring myself to take the risk of ruining my tan. I don't condition my hair with this final wash, so the roots will stay dry.<br />
<br />
Finally I'll do a very thorough scrub using an exfoliation glove. Focus on areas of the body like the elbows and knees, feet and hands. These parts tend to be drier areas of the body and will grab colour more intensely. On the glove I use a mixture of baking soda and a non-moisturizing shower gel. I simply mix the two together to form a paste and scrub it all over, even up around the back of my neck and really well under my arms. Some companies sell a skin prep kit that will do a similar thing, but it's basically supposed to help balance the pH of your skin. Ever see a competitor with a green tan? The green colour is a reaction with the skin's pH levels. This is why I shower immediately before my tanning appointment, as I'm a sweater and often battle the green!<br />
<br />

<br />
I'll give a quick shot of cool water to close my pores, dry off and DO NOT apply any products to the skin! This means deodorant and lotions, anything at all! You want to avoid creating any barriers on the skin or reactions that might change the colour.<br />
<br />
Since I mentioned hair, I'd dry my hair really well with the blow dryer and flat iron the ends to not look frizzy. Then I'd clip it up off my neck and face. Remember to bring a shower cap to cover your hair while getting tanned.<br />
<br />
I normally just dress in whatever I'll be wearing after getting my tan, so flip-flops and loose fitting black cotton clothes. You have a choice whether or not to get your face spray tanned. I've tried both approaches and must admit my makeup applies much better the morning of the show without getting it sprayed. I've noticed I need to darken it more with bronzer though. If you decide to tan your face do wash it before applying makeup to remove any oils and excess colour.<br />

<br /></div>
It can not go without saying, a perfect competition tan is an integral part to success in bodybuilding. Countless hours are committed to sculpting a great physique in the gym, and just as much time spent on posing practice all to best display that hard work. A deep competition tan enhances physical features, particularly under the bright stage lights. Don't be unprepared or sell yourself short by neglecting the importance of your stage colour.<br />

Unlike the past when tanning solution was put on by hand from close friends using cotton socks (yes, that's right!), the method of competition tanning used today puts the entire process in someone else's hands. Current usual practice has the colour hand airbrushed onto the body while standing in individual tents. It can be nerve racking relying on someone else, someone who is often a stranger, to create the perfect tan for a single moment you've worked so hard for.<br />
<br />
Here is some info and tips to help you be prepared:<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>- Only book with experienced competition tanning companies who are reputable amongst the bodybuilding community. It is important to note the solution I'm referring to is NOT equivalent to anything offered in a tanning salon, unless specializing in this type of product of course. The most popular types of tanning products are made by the companies <a href="http://www.liquidsunrayz.com/" target="_blank">Liquid Sun Rayz</a>, <a href="http://jantana.com/" target="_blank">JanTana</a> and <a href="http://www.protanusa.com/" target="_blank">ProTan</a>. If the tanner you have inquired with isn't using any of these products, it's most likely not the proper solution for a stage tan. Don't be afraid to ask fellow athletes who they've used and what they thought about the result. (The first image with this blog post shows two different products, the stage picture on the left was Liquid Sun Rayz and on the right was Jan Tana.)<br />
<br />
- Research which companies will actually be available at the show you are attending. Not all companies travel to each show, so you may have to use different tanners depending on who is working, where. Keep in mind only the official tanner of the event will be able to do touch-ups backstage, so plan ahead if you must be tanned at an alternate location.<br />
<br />
- Book early! Tanners will book clients on a first come, first served basis. It's expected that the best and most in demand tanning companies will book up quickly. As well, some allow clients to choose their own time slot to get tanned. Picking a prime tanning time that works well around your personal schedule is a great option to have. Take advantage if available!<br />

- Be prepared to be tanned in a room with multiple tents, and therefore multiple people present. Not all companies use this method, but those at larger shows usually do. I've seen 5 tents all with athletes being sprayed and then around 3-5 people drying on the side lines. It can feel embarrassing to be naked during this process, just keep in mind the tanners see hundreds of people a year. And the other athletes in the room feel just like you!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
- Particularly considering the previous point, don't rush the drying time. The better you allow the solution to dry and set on the skin, the less chance of causing smears. Don't rush away with your colour still wet.<br />
<br />
- Wear loose cool clothing after being tanned. Any clothing that is tight, including form fitted or with elastic bands, will lift the colour and leave crease marks on the skin. Black in colour is highly recommended and red is strictly forbidden by some, as it apparently can cause a reaction which changes the colour. Avoid socks and high footwear, flip-flops are ideal. No undergarments.<br />
<br />
- Although your instinct might be to sleep naked, I'd suggest sleeping with both a shirt and pants on. Light in weight, of course, to avoid sweating. We sleep in strange positions and it's a hassle to correct spots the morning of the show. Stay covered up and avoid those hand marks on your legs and stomach! ;)<br />
<br />
- Bring your own towels, sheets and pillow cases if staying in a hotel. You will be charged for damages if you ruin anything. As well, it's just respectful and professional to leave a clean room so the host hotel and the promoter can have in a positive relationship in the future.<br />
<br />

<br />
- Bring several shower caps and large clips to keep your hair up and protected from the overspray. This is very important for the blondes out there! Also consider your nails as well. Most tanning companies will either use a barrier cream or clean up your nails before the solution sets. I actually paint my toes, and glue on false nails after my tan is done. If you have professionally manicured nails, just give them a quick check to make sure they are clean.<br />
<br />
- Avoid water like the plague! Rain is a nightmare to deal with, so check the weather ahead of time. Any time you turn a tap on, drink water, anything relating to liquids at all, be cautious. This especially includes using the washroom. Hover over the seat to not remove any tan and be very careful. Take extreme care if shampooing your hair after being tanned, and possibly have someone help if needed.<br />
<br />
- Don't rub any areas of your skin. If you do get smudges inform your tanner and allow them to handle it. Often marks can be buffed out. Over working an area will just make a minor streak become muddy.<br />
<br />
- Once backstage and ready DON'T sit down, lay down, lean on walls! You get the idea…;)<br />
<br />
- A glaze will be applied prior to stepping on stage. Often times the official tanner will glaze everyone since they are backstage, but you can purchase your own if you like. This glaze will give your colour a healthy sheen and be the finishing touch that enhances your physique. Check in the mirror to ensure you aren't overly shiny, looking wet, or that your skin looks dull and matte. Either situations are not ideal.<br />
<br />
As you can gather, it is very easy to mess up a competition tan. Responsibility goes far beyond the individual who applies the tan and is largely in your hands. None the less, the tan must be flawless! The preparations prior to receiving your spray tan is integral to the process as well. Since this post is getting lengthy, I'll create another entry laying out my step by step process of skin prep leading up to show time.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Past tools of the trade! Sheets, cotton socks, make-up puffs, sponges, gloves and a plastic container.<br />
The liquid stain was usually poured into the container and applied layer after layer using the socks/puffs/sponges. Then a final coat of "mud" was rubbed on top using your hands, which gave a deep colour and sheen to the skin. This "mud" has since been banned by use in most shows because it stays moist and easily wipes off on things, causing such a mess that hotels and venues wouldn't allow promoters to return. Although things seem better now, I must say, most of the blame should be on the competitors for being neglectful not on the product itself.<br />

</div>
<b>Secondary Position</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
- bending at the hip, lower the barbell towards the floor by sliding the barbell along your thighs<br />
- the legs are to be held in a stiff stationary position but not locked at the knees</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
- keep the spine aligned throughout the movement, avoid raising the head or arching the back<br />
- lower within a range of motion that allows proper spine alignment to be maintained while feeling a stretch in the hamstrings<br />
<br /></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<b>Ending Position</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- hinging at the hips, reverse the movement by contracting the glutes and hamstrings, sliding the barbell back up your thighs<br />
- NOTE: do not use your lower back to power this exercise, engage your glutes to lift the weight<br />
- avoid locking the knees overly straight or losing a stabilized torso throughout the exercise<br />
- repeat the completed motion of lowering then raising the barbell for desired number of repetitions<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This exercise can be altered to change the difficulty. If a beginner, start by lifting an empty barbell and concentrate on improving technique and flexibility. As strength and range of motion improves, this exercise can be made more difficult by continuing to increase the weight added to the barbell. Placing your toes on 2 small weight plates is another technique to increase the stretch in the calves and hamstrings. Dumbbells could also be used instead of a barbell.</div>
