When it comes to getting results—whether it’s fat loss, strength building, or feeling more confident in your body—how you train is just as important as what you train. At Jason Isaacs Personal Training, I coach every client to move with purpose, control, and focus. Weight training isn’t about rushing through a workout; it’s about mastering the basics and being intentional with every rep.
Here’s what I focus on with my clients when it comes to technique and getting the most out of every session:
1. Form First, Always
Solid form is the foundation of every safe and effective training plan. Whether we’re in the gym, outdoors, or training online, I ensure you’re lifting with proper technique—protecting your joints and targeting the right muscles. Too many people chase heavier weights or more reps, but without good form, results can suffer and injuries can creep in.
In our sessions, I’ll guide you through each movement so you’re lifting safely and efficiently, no matter your fitness level.
2. Full Stretch and Full Contraction
To properly activate your muscles, you need to train through the full range of motion. That means fully stretching the muscle at the bottom of the movement and fully contracting it at the top. This not only improves flexibility and joint health but also helps with strength and muscle tone.
For example, in a dumbbell chest press, lowering the weights with control and pressing up with a strong contraction ensures the chest, not your shoulders or triceps, is doing the bulk of the work.
3. Controlled Reps and a Slower Negative
I encourage all my clients to slow things down. Fast, uncontrolled reps might feel like a workout—but slowing down, especially during the eccentric phase (lowering the weight), builds more muscle and improves control.
In sessions, we often use a 3–4 second negative on lifts. This not only increases time under tension (a key driver of progress) but also helps you feel the muscle working properly. Controlled reps = smarter, safer gains.
4. Mind-Muscle Connection
This is one of the most powerful tools in training—really thinking about the muscle you’re working. It’s easy to let momentum or other muscles take over, but when you mentally lock in on your target muscle, you’ll instantly notice the difference.
Whether you're doing rows, curls, or squats, I’ll coach you to be present and connected to each movement. Over time, you’ll feel stronger, more stable, and more in control of your body.
Final Words
Whether you're training one-to-one, sharing a session with a partner, or working with me online, I coach all my clients to move with control, confidence, and intention. Training with proper form, full range of motion, and strong mind-muscle connection will get you better results—while keeping your body injury-free and moving well for years to come.
