We have all heard the body mechanics argument for why someone is good or great at a certain lift. It usually goes something like this: “Yeah, you got a good bench…those short arms help immensely.” Or “Yeah, nice deadlift his long arms make him built to pull.” These little statements are meant to...
I t end to get the most questions about bench... The "Bro" lift... But also believe it or not one of the most challenging lifts. The key to improving any lift, not just bench, is consistency and training.... Seems obvious right ? Yet many fall short.
First let's talk about Training. Brings to...
Started my bench cycle for meet prep. Ready to keep the aggression up a notch or two.
Hit 405 and then the 100lbs chains to a 4 board on week 1
For the down sets we did 341 (had a funky plate) for 5 sets of 6
Was a good day

Accomplishments don't come without struggles and if it came easy it's meaningless.
2015 was marked by nothing but obstacles and struggles and ended with my goal falling with the deadlift, wasn't able to dial it in after spending most the year out with two distal bicep tears.
2016 will I'm...
Curious if anyone tried my WOD ? :) probably not
Anyway did some leg presses today to give squats some break and light pulls nothing crazy. Finished the day with some farmers to work on my grip
