FITNESS T-REX TRAINING FEATURE YOUR TRAINER ADAM HEADLAND TEAM T-REX HEAD COACH H.I.I.T YOUR BACK By Dina Rich Photography by Max Jamali WHO SHE IS: YOUR BACK MUSCLES MIGHT BE HARD TO SEE BUT THEY’RE NOT HARD TO WORK ON NATIONALLY QUALIFIED BIKINI WHEN’S THE LAST TIME YOU TOOK A NICE, LONG, HARD LOOK AT YOUR… BACK? (PAUSING HERE SO YOU CAN FIND A MIRROR AND UNCOMFORTABLY STRAIN YOUR NECK FOR A PEEK.) WHEN WE WORK OUT, WE TEND TO FOCUS ON THE BODY PARTS WE STARE AT ALL THE TIME—ABS, ARMS, LEGS, BUTT,” SAYS T-REX HEAD TRAINER ADAM HEADLAND. That’s a huge problem, and not AS A LIFESTYLE TRANSFORMA- just because you’re missing out on definition where you least expect it. Our back muscles pitch in for nearly every movement, so when they’re weak, your entire body suffers. More specifically, the muscles around your lower back protect your spine, so when those guys aren’t getting enough attention at the gym, you risk injury. 24   MUSCLE MEMORY | DECEMBER/JANUARY 2019 COMPETITOR NADIA CHIARA- MONTE IS A NURSE AND ALSO PURSUES HER OTHER PASSION TION COACH.
