Meet Justin Bettis The Newest Member of Our Attorney Team
Imagine you’re running through a basic exercise routine. You feel good, so you push yourself harder than usual — and your muscles suddenly start shaking! Every athlete has experienced that moment of panic when tremors hit. But have you ever wondered why your muscles shake? The answer is more complicated than you might think. Shaking muscles can mean at least three things: You’re underprepared for your workout, pushing yourself too hard, or breaking new ground and building muscle! To figure out which option explains your scenario, ask yourself these questions: 1. DID I DRINK PLENTY OF WATER TODAY AND GET AT LEAST SEVEN HOURS OF SLEEP LAST NIGHT? If not, your muscles could be shaky because of dehydration or fatigue. 2. AM I DOING A NEW EXERCISE? If you’ve never done a jump squat or bench pressed 200 pounds, you’ll probably feel shaky the first time you try a full set. That’s because your body is adjusting to the new motions at a cellular level. Simply put, when you start a workout, your muscle fibers tell your muscle cells whether to contract or relax — and those fibers can get tired of doing their job. When one fiber becomes fatigued, your body adjusts to rely on another. Trying something new (essentially, asking your fibers to give new directions) can confuse your body and delay the tradeoff, making your muscles shake. 3. AM I PUSHING MYSELF HARDER THAN I EVER HAVE BEFORE? When you amp up the intensity of your workout, your body will often do more muscle fiber “tradeoffs” than usual because you’re demanding more output. When too many tradeoffs happen at once, that can make your muscles shake. Muscle tremors aren’t always a bad sign. If you’re trying a new exercise or pushing for improvement, they’re part of the learning process! However, if you’re struggling with exhaustion or dehydration, or you think you’re overworking yourself, shaking can be a red flag. Consider reducing the intensity of your workout or taking a rest day. When in doubt, discuss the issue with a physical therapist, especially if you’re recovering from an injury. The Surprising Science Behind Your Shaky Muscles
Sometimes, people end up being perfectly matched with what they do, almost like they were made for their profession.
That’s the way it feels with the newest member of the Cellino Law firm, Justin Bettis, who will be working with clients as a trial attorney.
“I feel like this is where I’m supposed to be,” Justin says with a smile.
He’s not kidding. It seemed that, over time, there was something that kept pulling him into the profession.
“As a kid, I knew I wanted to grow up and be something that was important and that could help with change in the world, so I wanted to be a doctor or lawyer,” Justin remembers. “I wasn’t good at math and I didn’t like blood, so that was an indication.”
Also, Justin recalls being told many times by people as he was growing up that he should consider becoming a lawyer.
“Looking back, I feel like I naturally had the skills of a lawyer and a litigator. I was drawn to the debate team in high school, and I liked being a student leader in college. When I was a kid, people had told me I should go into acting. I always liked to perform, and I liked order, procedures, and arguing for my position,” he says. “I was also always argumentative and never ran away from an intellectual debate. I knew early on I wanted to be a litigator. It’s a high-stakes part of the profession that I love.” Justin brings over eight years of legal practice experience to Cellino Law. He remembers the steps that transpired to lead him to join the team. “I had moved here from Philadelphia and was looking for the next step in my career. Right away, the people here stood out. When I interviewed here with Cellino Law, it felt like I was having a conversation with people I had known for a while,” Justin says. “That means a lot. It is a family firm that approaches what they do in that way. They were interested in my goals professionally and whether they would be aligned with my goals. I’m lucky to be here.”
In his free time, Justin looks forward to time spent with his partner, Samuel, who works as an equine veterinarian.
Away from work, he likes dining out, cooking, and spending time with his family and friends.
It’s our privilege to welcome Justin Bettis and to introduce him to you. We look forward to seeing the positive impact he has on the world around him.
