Bench Training Feet up

Taking away leg drive.
I used this because I needed to build some base strength in the bench and also because I was just getting over my torn calf muscle.
I definitely feel that it helped me break my plateau in the bench press and finally break over 500.

The Mad Scientist and The Strength Economist

Here's a quick conversation that Chris Duffin and I had on Day 2 of Boss of Bosses II.
Basically two guys saying they like each other and sharing a couple of points….

ECONOMICS OF TECHNIQUE

WATCH THIS.



And watch this because the technique on this 733lb belt and sleeves squat is so damn pretty.

This is how I used to deadlift. It's how I teach beginners.

Training March 27-30

Friday Mar 27

Pretty laid back and simple day.

Bench Press

300x11x11

Rear delt Flys 3 sets to failure

Saturday Mar 28

Session 1

My hip is feeling a couple degrees more range without pain.

Romanian Deadlifts (touch and go)

155x5

245x5

335x3

425x3

515x10x3sets

This actually had me pretty tired because it was around 2pm and I hadn't eaten much. I had been at the gym since 930 for the morning crossfit classes and then judging the crossfit open wods until about 1. My mind was pretty shot, and I was feeling very flat. So I went home and relaxed for a bit. 

Session 2 globo gym

16 touches 

4 chest supported rowing exercises...4 sets each in the 15-20 rep range

Sunday - OFF

I went to see @thestretchgirl today to see if she could help my hip...what a painful experience. I think good things will come of this as she has a solid knowledge base and is used to working with big immobile dudes. She's done lots of work on guys like Frank McGrath and Dorian in toronto...and does a lot with the TNT boys Iain Vallaire and Tony Searle.  

Between my RMT and Chiro, Physio, and Fascial stretching...if it can't get fixed im onto slitting goats throats in the middle of a star on the ground or whatever voodoo to get this hip back to normal.
