Prone Bench Rear Delt Raises
This is an exercise that seems to be a favorite of both Dave and John Meadows. High-rep rear delt raises done -with a lot of body english, when necessary- on the prone bench. In the words of Dave himself, "This sucks."
Smith Machine Bench Strip Set
This exercise is exactly what the title says: a Smith machine bench strip set performed by John Meadows
Double Front Delt Ropes
Some people use ropes for conditioning, we use them to get a delt pump. And also for conditioning. But only after we've gotten a delt pump.
Decline Machine Press With Bands
Dave Tate and John Meadows were hitting the decline bench machine pretty hard. So hard, in fact, that they rigged up some bands to add more tension to the lockout. The machine barely survived this encounter.
Feet Up No-Lockout DB Presses
This is another one of those exercises where it seems like everything is being done wrong, but in fact, the desired goals are being achieved exactly as planned.
Barbell Rows
Steve Pulcinella is in the house! Well, he's actually at the EliteFTS Compound. He's here to please the fans, and we asked him to hit some heavy barbell rows for us. He kindly obliged.
