exercise technique

As heavy as possible and aggressively. Directions of the day.

A lot of kettlebell movements today and skill building.

As if TGUs weren't challenging enough, let's add another twist.

If you cannot maintain form with the weight you use then, change the weight. Pride and ego should not dictate practice and principle.

Start the week off with a good session on the bench and then some.

Safety considered, there is value to making yourself move in simple conditioning drills.

Work to “True” failure (loss of physical positioning) not “Relative” failure (loss of mental endurance).

If sets require interruption at designated weights, or position breaks, make a minor adjustment and continue.

The standing barbell overhead press gets a bad rap, but most problems are due to the lifter, not the lift.

Each set should be difficult, violent, and feature sound positioning throughout.

Goal is fluid, seamless transition from movement to movement, and hand-to-hand switches from side-to-side.

In order for hitting a tire with a hammer to be more than novelty, it needs to be performed with power, precision, and fluidity.

Ground-to-overhead choices today are: Full-range high pull, dumbbell power snatch, kettlebell snatch (from floor).

Work as long as possible today. That's all that's demanded of you.

You're going to spend a lot of your day today in the air.

Nothing like the bench to kick off the week.

A lot of tension going around today. Stay solid.
