S5E12: Coaching Cues We Hate

More Train, Less Pain; Engineering the Adaptable Athlete

About this episode

Michelle and Tim discuss their top three most hated coaching cues. Coaching cues are meant to anchor an exercise, provide a focal point, and represent intent. Cues aren’t meant to be applied to all, so Michelle and Tim dial in on when and why to use specific cues. In this episode expect to learn why “squeezing your glutes” is ineffective for cueing the deadlift, why you should be mindful about over-tucking your hips and over-reaching, why shin angles matter, cueing mistakes Michelle & Tim have made, and why word choice is key to positive outcomes.
