#AskAchieve 61: Forward Weight Shift While Squatting, Barbell vs Dumbbell Deadlifting, How to Help a Client Who Can't Hip Hinge, and "Mom Bods"!

What's up, Achievers?! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! In the introduction, we talked a bit about the Perform Better Summit - if you're a personal trainer/physical therapist, you can find out more information here: https://www.performbetter.com/3-day-functional-training-summit. In the first quesiton, we discussed how to address a forward weight shift while squatting and how to sit back more (6:56). Next, we talk about the difference between dumbbell and barbell lifting, why barbells seem to be more popular, and if dumbbells are unsafe (9:48). Then, we cover how to train your lower body effectively if hinging is difficult because of severe hip/hamstring mobility issues. (13:37). Lastly, we went over a situation that happened in one the comments section of one of our Instagram posts - someone asked Lauren if she was pregnant or had a "mom bod"!
