Family / Surprises / Traditions

Adam Washousky

This past Thanksgiving our family was blessed with the news that my younger sister and her husband are having a baby! It was not only a blessing but a beautiful surprise. It made Thanksgiving all the more special. Families were brought together and celebrations were in order.

After Thanksgiving we all spent the holidays in our respected states from NY-FL-CA-MA-MN Yes we're wide spread. This Christmas we vowed to keep our family traditions alive and well. Making cookies, hanging holiday lights and making a beautiful Italian Feast made us all seem close this past Christmas despite the mileage betwen us.

As the new year starts, 2020 is a year of understanding, moving forwards, blessings, love, abundance and crushing goals. I'm thankful for my family, my God, my boo. I'm excited to start 2020 healthy and prosperous and wish all the same!

Avoiding Lower-Back Pain as a Fitness Enthusiast

As owner and founder of A-Team Operations, Adam Gerard Washousky leads as an online retail entrepreneur with a focus on exceeding customer expectations. A longtime resident of Florida and New York, Adam Gerard Washousky enjoys lifting weights in his free time. 

Avoiding lower-back pain when engaging in weightlifting is often achievable by taking simple precautions and maintaining correct posture. Safety begins with proper form, which includes firmly planted feet and maintaining a straight back while being careful not to lift from the spine. 

The two major types of back pain involve flexion-based and extension-based dysfunctions. Flexion issues are most common in today’s office-bound society and can be alleviated by proper posture while sitting at the desk and taking breaks for short walks or stretching exercises throughout the day. 

By contrast, extension-based dysfunctions are most common among those who work out or participate in athletics regularly. One type occurs when the pelvis is overextended, or positioned in an anterior tilt, for an extended period. When experiencing this type of pain, avoid exercises that can exacerbate the problem such as back extensions and squats until the pain goes away and mobility is restored.
