Create strong connections

NS: You are only as strong as your weakest link, and for weightlifting that’s especially true. Ensure you have a balanced body by working your neck extensors, lower trapezius, hips and so on.

Doing so will give you greater deceleration/counter force strength, which will also prevent injuries.

Prioritize perfect form

True strength is about having complete mastery over the weight you’re lifting. If you’re not ‘owning’ the weight, all you’re really doing is recruiting the power of momentum. More importantly, poor form can lead to short-term injuries and long-term problems.

Leave your ego at the door and take technique seriously. If you’re not sure about a certain lift, consult a PT to help you nail the basic movement pattern.

Address your issues

If you have an injury, sort it out. At some point it will come back to haunt you. So many people train around an injury or a site of pain, rather than rehabbing it correctly.

That is only a temporary measure, because as soon as it is stressed it will usually break or create bad movement patterns.

Drake Is Releasing Wild New Nocta x Nike Slides Possibly dropping soon.

By Victor Deng, solecollector.com

Not only is Nike releasing its new Calm Slides this fall, but the brand is also introducing a new sandal with the help of Drake’s Nocta line soon.

Newly leaked images from House of Heat show a first look at the unreleased Nocta x Nike Slides. The official moniker of the silhouette is currently unknown at the time of writing, but it has been unofficially dubbed “Scuba Slides” given its resemblance to scuba fins typically worn by divers. The first style to surface wears an all -black color scheme with subtle blue hits on the heel. The model features both Nocta and Nike logos on the midfoot strap, with additional branding on the heel tab.

Additionally, Drake also has a Nike Air Zoom Flight 95 -inspired collaboration on the way after the shoe was teased by the rapper last year.

Despite images of the Nocta x Nike Scuba Slides surfacing, release details for the silhouette have yet to be announced. Keep it locked to Sole Collector for official updates.
