MattM Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Going back to your comment about not being able to keep air past 3 reps, maybe doing front rack position holds could help? I notice that my dumbbell bench press where I normally try to hold my breath has become much better since doing holds on the back and in front rack position since it forces me to really control my breathing pattern to keep the core tight... just a thought! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 January 30, 2017 Afternoon Week 3 press. Sicker than dog-vom the last couple of days. Had a good bout of shivers and cold sweat last night so it must be gone just in time to head back to the basement. I also went to watch a strongman comp on Saturday in Red Deer. I think I could do "okay" in the 230 class now that I'm down there. I need to rebuild a bunch of strength though that was lost during the past years dieting. Hopefully a bunch of it should come back quick once I balance my calories out again.

Maybe. I was just thinking about the flood of recent stuff saying squats were all quad except for the lockout and the posterior stuff was all towards geared guys. For me I always feel squatting the most in my hamstrings and glutes and the best assistance for me has always been posterior stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
