What are you training for? And who are you training for? I used to train for competition. Now it’s to be prepared for whatever comes. Durable enough to keep going. Adaptable when the plan falls apart. Strong enough to rely on myself, and sustainable enough to do it for decades, not just a season. Out in nature, you’re not a spectator. You’re part of it. The mountain doesn’t care how you look. The trail doesn’t care about your PR. Nature asks one thing: are you ready? Physically and mentally. So I train to be capable. To respect the ground I’m on and earn my place in it. I train for the version of me who says yes to the hard climb, the long day, the unexpected. And for the people who count on me to show up. I push myself so I can be prepared for the unknown. What are you training for? Who are you training for? @BeSomebodyGym

Spiced chai protein that actually tastes like spiced chai 🍂 I’ve been stirring this into my oatmeal and Greek yogurt for awhile and it’s become my Gaux-to when I’m powering through a busy day, week or month or year. What sold me: @livemomentous sources their whey from European grass-fed, hormone and antibiotic-free cows, it’s cold-processed to keep the full amino acid profile intact, and it’s got ProHydrolase® enzymes in it so it actually digests well. A big thing for me is no bloat, no weird gum-y texture. 20g protein, no artificial sweeteners or fillers. Most protein powders nail one of those things, sourcing, science, or clean ingredients, this one has all three. If you’re struggling to get in protein or have limited time to cook in the morning, give this a shot. Use code: GAUX15 to save and start hitting your protein goals.

Who loves fall? 🍂 🍁

Your knees aren’t the problem. Weak quads are. VMO Slant Board Squats are one of my go-to exercises for building bulletproof knees and stronger quads. How to do it: • Heels up on the slant board, feet close together • Let your knees travel forward over your toes (yes, it’s safe) • Keep your torso tall and sink as low as you can with control • Take 3 seconds down, then drive up Try 3 sets of 12–15 as a warm-up or finisher. Start with body weight, then add dumbbells or kettle balls based in your skill/strength level. Save this for your next leg day and send it to the friend who would benefit. @BeSomebodyGym

Morning sunrise befor the hurricane rain 🌧️

Nobody posts their mobility work. It doesn't make for an exciting Reel; there's no PR to celebrate, and it's the first thing to get skipped when a session runs short. I understand the instinct; I've felt it myself, plenty of times, standing on a competition floor with limited warm-up time and a dozen more "important" things to do first... margauxalvarez.com/blogs/new…

Sculpt your shoulders & build upper body strength DB Shoulder Press… this version I pull my shoulder blades back and bring the dumbbells out to the side of my shoulder versus in front. Why? It allows me to get my back muscles more involved. Give it a go: 4x6 and superset with another DB movement, like RDL’s. @BeSomebodyGym

Which way do you climb for a legless rope climb? A or B I like to train both but B, the 2nd video, was how I started doing legless top climbs until I got stronger to perform video A (1st video) Improving your upper body strength will help you perform legless rope climbs. Include movements like: strict pull-ups, strict ups, ring rows, bent over barbell rows, single arm dumbbell rows, max chin up or pull-up holds, as well as core exercises. Searching for a program to help you improve your upper body? Check out my 6-week strict pull-up program.

How To for my Margaux’s Cut & Style 💁🏽‍♀️ using my new @RogueFitness Just Gaux shirt as a demo.

Want stronger hamstrings? Master the Dumbbell RDL. It loads your hamstrings through a deep stretch, exactly where they get stronger. How to: - Stand hip-width, dumbbells in front of your thighs, slight bend in the knees. - Push your hips straight BACK. It’s a hinge, not a squat. - Keep the dumbbells close to your legs, back flat, slight bend in your knees. - Lower until you feel a big hamstring stretch (around mid-shin). - Drive your hips forward and squeeze your glutes to stand. Coach’s tips: Take 3 seconds on the way down Keep your weight in your heels Don’t round your back chasing the floor Try 3x8 on your next leg day and save this for later. @BeSomebodyGym
