The Glute Ham Raise-Is it the Single Best Hamstring Exercise?

I've been digging the limited sets and using a rep range to determine weight choice on Accessory Day. If I can't perform EIGHT quality reps on a set without maintaining form then the weight is too heavy. If I can do 15 or more reps with great technique, then the weight was too light and […]
Something to think about...
You ever notice when you have a "break through" or a "ah ha" moment it's almost always something you've been told several times by many different people throughout different stages of your life?

7/1- High Rep Upper Accessory
Trinity and I trained together today since none of our regular training partners were able to make it in. It’s nice that after all these years we can still train together without arguing haha. I know that training together doesn’t usually go well for a lot of couples.

Gym Teacher/Exterminator/Mop Operator
If you follow the chronology of my training, you know that I have a beauty of a Black Widow Spider that dwells in my gym space. Everything was going along quite nicely, until I noticed TWO significant issues that needed my attention. 1. The Black Widow had laid plenty of Black Widow eggs through out […]

I really like using the Catapult as an alternative to shirted benching to protect my shoulders and handle more weight.
