New All-Time Squat World Record--My workout
New all-time squat record and my #oldschoolbloodandgutsmalestripper workout
Friday
Today our lifters hit some upper body based movements. Board presses against heavy bang tension. Dips heavy for reps, KB shrugs, low rows, Lat raises, then a couple other optional stuff was on the menu. Am really happy with everyone's progress. Nova especially. He had improved in a lot of areas as well as been […]
Thursday Dec 1
Today our Powerlifitng squad hit their mobility work and then headed onto speed deads against bands, heavy KB swings (w/ short rest), plate twists, and high rep leg raises. Was a good workout. As far as for myself lifting I hit some biceps on the machine, then abs on the crunch machine. I like doing […]
Tuesday
Today our lifters hit some shoulder pre hab and some mobility stuff then worked their way onto their upper body based training session. We had them start off with high reps on the bamboo bar then some front raises using a KB, sitting rows, scarecrows, then some posture/core work to finish up with. […]
Monday
Today our Powerlifitng squad hit their mobility work then onto speed squats against bands. We used more band tension and bar weight than we did last week. After that they hit some hyper extension holds with some weight on their back with a pause every rep. Heavy step ups, leg curls and abs finished up […]
SUBMAXIMAL TRAINING
Like a race car, there are many gears to shift into when training. If you are limiting yourself to max effort, speed and de-load only, you are missing many of the gears that get you to your p.r. lifts.
The Outlier Effect
Conventional wisdom becomes conventional for a reason, so when in doubt, look to what the majority of great lifters rather than the outliers do.
Kryptonite!
I have a steadfast rule about feeling ill and training. I call it the 20 minute test. As you go about your warm ups, and into the working sets when you aren't ON TOP of your game...stop and check the symptoms. If you feel no worse for wear, then continue with your session, but don't […]
Training 11/29 to 12/2 and recap
Weight is up slightly from last week. Might be the Thanksgiving accumulation or the lower carbs during the week and higher fat consumption. My body has been responding different the past few weeks to food intake. For example, normally when I pound carbs, it explodes with growth of fat and muscle . This go though […]
TRAINING IS MY PSYCHOTHERAPY
I was feeling beat up and was going to deload until the meet in two weeks. I just NEEDED to train.
Your Choice: Do You Prevail or Get Derailed?
We all get fired up from time to time. I damned sure know I do. It’s just a matter of remembering where we’re going and understanding whether this behavior will help us get there or not.
WATCH: Drinking During Competition Training Cycle
There's nothing wrong with casual drinking every now and then, but...
Life Always Offers You A Second Chance. It's Called "Tomorrow&...
I've always believed I could, so I did. Once the mind conceives an idea, or the imagination takes hold of the possibilities, then the active body goes about succeeding in the endeavor. I say that you first have to see it, in your mind. Then go into ACTIVE mode with reckless abandon and feverish perversion […]
