Christine Middleton, a powerhouse CrossFit athlete and coach, motivates her followers by sharing her intense training routines and strength-building tips on Instagram. In a recent post, she showed off a complex weightlifting sequence, jokingly captioned, "Hitting this complex at 6 am was no joke." Known for her dedication to strength, Middleton incorporates a mix of heavy lifts, squats, and challenging clusters into her workouts.

With a focus on progressive strength and camaraderie in training, Middleton's approach inspires her followers to push limits, embrace teamwork, and enjoy the journey to becoming stronger.

Middleton is seen weightlifting in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that doing this has a lot of benefits. "Using maximal loads for compound (multi-joint) movements like the deadlift, squat-to-shoulder press, bent-over row or chest press can improve intermuscular coordination, which is the ability of many muscles to work together to generate and control high levels of force through multiple joints."

Middleton likes to do squats to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing them with a barbell on Instagram. Middleton captioned the post, "Wait for it if you want to know exactly how these 3x3x270lb/122kg front squats felt💚Building back these legs. It's been a while since I've been able to comfortably hit heavy squats. This was programmed to be 85% but I was going off of feel and positioning so it ended up being about 80% which I'm really happy about still. Progress and moving forward 👌Comment below if you want to try my squat program!"df44d9eab23ea271ddde7545ae2c09ec
