Your George Mason Patriots got back on track after beating Davidson on the road and blowing out George Washington at home to move to a record of 17-8 overall and 6-6 in the conference.
Mason had to win both of these games, as one more loss would have put them in the pillow fight conversation, which is not something anyone wants to be a part of.
The theme across the two games was defense, as Mason’s opponents scored under a point per possession in both.
Keyshawn Hall had himself a great couple of games, winning KenPom MVP in both of them.
Davidson
Your George Mason Patriots beat the Wildcats in a 57-55 thriller on the road. This was a much needed win.
This game started off as the Tre Wood game, with him ending up with 12 points on 5-7 shooting, but in the second half, Keyshawn Hall scored 22 of Mason’s 31. Dominance.
Big Guard ended up scoring 25 on 6-13 shooting and 10-11 from the line, which included him going 3-5 from three. Davidson realized that they couldn’t really stop him and decided beating him up was the best option. Hall made an absolutely nuts pass with his non-dominant hand to the opposite corner, but I think that was the Jared Billups three that got blocked.
Both Austin Ball and Malik Henry made the most of their playing time, with Ball scoring 8 points in only 12 minutes, going 2-3 from downtown. Henry was in the game for a while due to Amari Kelly getting in foul trouble, but scored 6 and grabbed 8 boards, including four offensive rebounds. That’s how you get more playing time.
I’m not going to lie, when Mason was up two with a couple seconds left, I was so sure a random Davidson guy who shot in the low 30s from deep was going to be wiiiiide open for three, but Mason played awesome defense and didn’t let up a real shot.
Mason winning on the road against a quality A10 opponent while missing Darius Maddox is a very encouraging sign of things to come once he comes back.
George Washington
Mason dominated this game. Dominated. The score ended up being 90 to 67, but anyone who watched the game could tell you that it wasn’t this close.
For the last ten minutes of the game, Mason was pretty much running it down to five seconds left and then taking a bad shot. They knew that they would win by less, but guaranteed the win. At this point in the season, NET and KenPom don’t really matter since there’s no at-large potential for the Patriots.
Mason really took advantage of the lack of big man, and therefore interior defense depth for GW, as they shot 70.6% from two.
Austin Ball had his best game as a Patriot, not only because he got his career high in points with 10, but because he was doing it in ways we haven’t seen before. Ball went 4-4 from two and 0-3 from three. In the past, if the three-ball wasn’t falling, he wasn’t contributing much, but he really took advantage of the weak interior defense and was hitting shots freshmen shouldn’t be hitting.

This is back-to-back good games for Ball. Scoring 18 points over two games is really good for a true freshman. 5-6 from two and 2-5 from three is the type of efficiency you love to see from a guy who is scrapping for minutes. This stretch has gotten me pretty excited for what he can develop into. At the very least, we have seen he will be a contributor throughout his college career.
“The best thing about freshmen is that they become sophomores.” – The great Al McGuire.
Hall once again ended up being the leading scorer, scoring 20 on 7-11 shooting while grabbing 12 boards, but it really could have been anyone on that night. I said he was going for 40, and I truly think he would have gotten it if GW was somewhat keeping pace with Mason on offense. A big thing for Keyshawn these couple of games was that he only had two turnovers. I will absolutely take one turnover a game from him.

Woody Newton was showing his potential this game, making some super athletic plays, including a fun dunk. 13 ties his Patriot high with the Tennessee game, but instead of doing it with the three, he went 4-6 from two. If we can get this Woody in the coming stretch, this team will reach new heights.

I can’t talk about everyone, but I do need to mention that Jared Billups went 2-3 from three, who was also part of stopping James Bishop. You aren’t losing many games where Billups goes 2-3 from deep.
Ideal start!@jaredbillups1_ | #PatriotPressure pic.twitter.com/XyGixtZo4n

Kam Johnson has struck once again, scoring 4 on 2-2 shooting while also grabbing three rebounds in only two minutes of playing time. The FORMER walk-on continues to entertain Mason fans whenever he checks in. Good for him.
The team as a whole played awesome defense, even if the score doesn’t show it. James Bishop scored 10 points on 3-15 shooting. GW isn’t winning many games where he takes that many shots and scores so little.
Maddox was also out for this game, but the theory is that he could have played, but they would only use him if they needed him. Clearly, they didn’t. We knew that after the first media timeout. He should be healthy and well-rested for the Dayton game.
Conclusion
As you can tell, this was a great stretch for Mason. Beating a team that is around your caliber on the road and then blowing out your rival, I’m not sure you could ask for much more. Mason now looks forward to Dayton, with 8 days of rest. If there’s any game I want a break before, it’s this one.

Wow! This could be one particular of the most beneficial blogs We have ever arrive across on this subject. Basically Wonderful. I’m also an expert in this topic therefore I can understand your effort.
It acts in synergy with the gluteus medius muscle to abduct and internally rotate the thigh.
Your glutes are the one of the largest and strongest muscle tissue in your body,
and play an essential position to propel your ahead
whenever you stroll and run. The banded clamshell is one other awesome banded exercise to target the
aspect glutes. Likewise, with the banded walks,
all you want for this exercise is a resistance band.
The center glutes (the glute maximas) are the largest muscle in the glute area, so spending most of our glute-building efforts right
here makes sense. But if we forget about the facet glutes then we’re by no means going to be able to build the well-rounded,
fuller look many people try for.
If you do this, keep in mind you must solely practice them 3 occasions per week for a brief time frame,
around 4-6 weeks. The second option is should you really want
to focus on your glutes for a short time frame.
Perhaps you are unhappy with them, or you have stalled on progress,
and wish to see some gains. Your glutes are distinctive as they’re essential
for such a wide variety of tasks. On any given day, you may want them that can assist
you walk a mile or bounce over something high.
Progressive overload is crucial lifting precept there’s.
Strong upper glutes are important on your health, functionality, and performance at the
gym. The muscle plays an important stabilizing
role at the pelvis and supports your physique throughout most actions, like squats,
pull-ups, and overhead presses. The muscle that makes up the upper glute area is called the gluteus medius (1).
The different two muscular tissues are the gluteus maximus and
gluteus minimus. You can perform this glute isolation exercise at house 2-3 times a
week by performing these workouts along with your body weight or using resistance bands.
We talked about above that deadlifts aren’t one of the best exercise
to isolate the glutes, but here is the one exception.
If you solely have minor ache in the area and your hip is transferring fine, then it’s likely
extra of a minimal strain, for example. If it’s extra like moderate
or extreme pain, and you can’t transfer your hip with out difficulty, then you could have something more extreme.
You could even want a surgical answer if you’ve bodily torn the muscle.
Of course, building any body part requires eating adequate energy and protein. As
a end result, we need to totally heat up the glutes before any workout to ensure they’re activated and
firing correctly, ready to handle the resistance used in our workouts.
This is really necessary for maintaining your balance when you’re doing things
like walking or working. In turn, this is going to supply an intense glute muscle contraction, which is what you need in case
your goal is a bigger, stronger, and toned butt. Today, I’m going
to show you something easy that you would do each single day to construct not just strong
glutes but better-looking ones. The training block is
a sequence of mesoscycles strung together for one unifying function.
Because fatigue and put on and tear increase with each meso in a block,
we advocate including much less systemically disruptive exercises more often than adding more disruptive ones.
For instance, you may think about including some hip thrusts
on that Friday 3x session however including sumo deficit deadlifts
to an already fatiguing week of glute training could be overkill.
Yes, you probably can add very robust actions as you go, however we recommend against it
typically. The seated hip abduction machine
can successfully assist you to hit the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus.
If your fitness center would not have this machine, you have to
use resistance bands looped across the outside of your
legs to offer added tension. Seated hip abductions assist to strengthen the glutes,
thus improving stability and mobility at the hips.
The workout routines we’ll talk about have a number of variations,
whether with barbells, dumbbells, or on the Smith machine.
We all know that sitting for extended periods of time can negatively affect our well being —
however its position in weakening the muscles in your behind is a lesser known concern. That causes slightly little bit of a battle on the joint itself as a end result of it is conscious of that
we’re making an attempt to either flex the joint or lengthen the joint.
So, you begin to get a little bit of reciprocal inhibition of the
glutes as a result of they can’t do both on the identical
time. From a standing position, let the hip rise up as high because it presumably can, which
places you into an excellent diploma of hip flexion and glute engagement.
And as you’ll see right here in a second, they’re the
proper complement to what’s missing in these compound exercises, which
is why you need to give consideration to them. Knowing your butt
anatomy might help with influencing the appearance of your butt.
Danielle Zickl is a freelance author who has 10 years of expertise overlaying fitness, health, and vitamin. You
can discover her work right here on Women’s Well Being, and in lots of other publications together
with PS, SELF, Well+Good, Runner’s World, Outside RUN,
Peloton, Men’s Health, and extra. Add a dumbbell, kettlebell or curl bar across your hips to make the transfer more durable.
Luckily for my ego, Houdyshell was additionally somewhat breathless throughout.
It’s a small element, but I’m all the time extra motivated when an teacher is “down within the trenches” with
me. If I finish a workout red-faced and depleted and
the teacher has barely broken a sweat, I leave feeling a little inadequate.
Using a foam curler can also be useful for muscle recovery as it might possibly assist forestall DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness),
so it might be something price investing in!
The hip thrust is a high quality exercise to focus on the glute max, and
introducing a band lets you goal the glute medius and minimus too.
As you push out towards the band, you’ll name upon the aspect glutes to contract
to externally rotate the hips. This pushing towards
the band all through the vary of motion will get the side
glutes on fire, serving to to advertise side glute improvement.
Some of the best workouts to coach the upper glutes additionally work other muscles in the lower body, including the quadriceps and hamstrings.
Clamshells and hearth hydrants are two excellent glute isolation exercises
that can be carried out with body weight or with added resistance.
We recommend including a band to those workouts to work the muscles more to build strength and muscle.
We grouped these workout routines collectively as they focus on exterior hip rotation and are great for isolating the glutes.
In addition, research are beginning to determine a job
in which carbs directly influence muscle protein synthesis.
Nonetheless, if I’m being honest, any lady performing these probably has some exceptionally well-developed glutes.
Dr. Bret Contreas, the Glute Physician, additionally recommends them if that makes you are feeling better about doing them.
For this purpose, any exercise you have pulled
would require glute activation to stabilize your
hips. Hip abduction occurs when the legs move straight out
of the side of the body. This movement is not seen often in isolation in normal
life however could additionally be seen throughout sporting occasions corresponding to dribbling a ball
and changing direction.
Try any of those health actions to enhance your glute
strength. Incorporate workout routines such as Hip Thrusts, Romanian Deadlifts, Banded Hip Drops, and Cable Pull Throughs into your routine, no much less
than 2-3 occasions a week. These muscular tissues are essential for primary
useful movements such as standing, strolling, climbing stairs, and lifting objects.
After all, if you wish to form the strongest mind-to-muscle connection you’ll be able to, you need to be
taught about the muscle itself – not simply the workout routines.
Your gluteal muscles are a number of the strongest
in your body and they play a elementary function in your mobility.
With your feet flat on the ground and unfold hip-width aside, drop your glutes slowly
toward the bottom. Raise your hips again up slowly and squeeze the muscular tissues at the prime of the motion. You can hold weights or a weighted bag in your hips to add extra resistance.
However, like all muscle tissue, your glutes need time to get well,
especially after an intense workout. How do you identify what coaching frequency is
acceptable for you? You can begin by coaching your
glutes at per-session MEV volumes.
You have the potential to load up on the hip thrust,
which makes it an excellent train for adding dimension and strength.
But many mistake this train for a one-rep max movement,
which it is not. With that in mind, listed here are some traps you possibly can fall into when performing this booty builder.
This routine addresses all components of the glutes, promoting energy, dimension, and overall muscle balance.
Adjust weights and resistance as you progress to proceed difficult
your muscular tissues successfully.
Walking prompts your glutes and hamstrings, notably as you walk up an incline, like a hill.
If you’re on a treadmill, enhance your incline periodically, or if outdoor, discover
a medium-grade hill and stroll up it as quick as you probably
can to interact your glute muscular tissues.
These glute exercises for males can be carried out as a part of a
leg day, or even better, as part of a full-body exercise day.
When you point out “butts,” many men will take into consideration Sir Mix-a-Lot and his classic hit from the 90s.
But, if you mention “lifting weights,” they in all probability do not think about
glute exercises for males.
That’s as a outcome of both squats and deadlifts contain many additional muscles, so the glutes are most likely to work in a
supporting function quite than being the star of the show.
The finest glute workout usually includes a wide selection of exercises that focus on all three glute muscle tissue – gluteus maximus, gluteus medius,
and gluteus minimus. One Other recent study found that barbell squats additionally lead to twice the gluteus maximus progress
in comparability with barbell hip thrusts. Glute isolation exercises are an effective way to spherical out your lower-body exercise and
prevent or appropriate muscle weaknesses and imbalances in your glute
muscular tissues. Seek The Guidance Of with a physical therapist or certified private coach
to guarantee you’re accurately performing exercises that
focus on your specific needs.
If you’ve received lots of excess fat in your
butt, it’s going to grasp off the muscle inflicting
it to sag. It makes up a big part of the form and appearance of the butt and hips.
If you lead a sedentary life-style, or you’re stuck behind
a desk all day, then this could make a saggy butt worse.
Much like the muscle tissue in your face and different
parts of your physique, they steadily lose their toned appearance.
So if certainly one of your considerations
is a saggy butt and it’s starting to have an effect
on your self-confidence, we’ll share some preventative ideas on this information. When you have
weak glutes or less defined glutes, this will lead to your butt looking saggy.
Once you get began with them, you’ll see that just by adding a band to this back-and-forth
movement, your glutes shall be activated and burning like crazy.
This exercise is excellent for improving your capability to externally rotate your hips,
because it puts constant rigidity on the muscle tissue
in the glutes responsible for rotation. When you may have the hip mobility,
strength, and adaptability this train helps enhance, nearly
every decrease physique motion, like bending over and choosing
one thing up, will become simpler and extra
fluid. Diet performs a major function in including muscle to
your frame, and I’m excited to share meals that improve hips measurement
in addition to meals that grow your butt.
When they recover, they will rebuild a little bit larger and stronger.
They need this strength due to their multiple roles in body movement.
In reality, many of the actions you do depend on your glutes in some trend.
Dumbbells’ glute workout routines are easy to
do and since dumbbells’ are so accessible,
they are often carried out nearly anyplace. There’s numerous variations of
every exercise and lots of can be carried out with barbells too.
Subsequent, lifters will open their legs away
from the body, which known as abduction. Lifters ought
to try to have interaction in full vary of movement earlier than bringing
the legs back in the course of midline. First, sit on a hip abduction machine with the ft resting on the footplate, knees resting against the pads, and palms positioned on the handles located on the sides of
the machine. Subsequent, flex the hips so that the chest is
parallel-ish to the ground keeping a decent core. From this place, carry the leg straight again, preserving the knees slightly bent.
The gluteus maximus begins from the upper a part of your hip bone, as well as the lower finish of your spine.
This includes the sacrum and the coccyx (that’s the very backside a part of your spine, often called
the tailbone). If you do aerobic workout routines with glutes, it’ll encourage the realm to continue
healing. Recommended workouts for this include doing full squats or operating on an incline.
You can even use kinesiology tape over the world pain whilst you
exercise; here are some good kinesiology tape options.
This basically implies that, normally, those with probably the most developed glutes are additionally the strongest,
says Contreras. “Except you have been born with wonderful glute genetics, the one method to get your glutes considerably shapelier and rounder is to get very robust at the best glute workouts.” It will not be
as in style as the again squat, but you actually shouldn’t hit snooze on the front squat.
Sure, you won’t be succesful of lift as heavy, and the front rack loading takes a bit of getting used
to, however front squats are an train you must be including in your glute workout.
Using a (light!) mini resistance band during your glute warm-up helps to prime the muscle tissue earlier than your main glute workout.
