23.01.2022 Some great new photos of Infinite Strengths main location

23.01.2022 Popular opinion is that squatting heavy is dangerous. I happen to agree with that statement, 100%! But before you call me a hypocrite just hear me out. If you dont know how to brace your core correctly and you go under a heavy load you are at risk of serious back injury. What is the core you ask? It describes all of the muscles in the trunk that help stabilise the spine. And stabilising the spine is kinda important when putting double your body weight on your back! Some of... the muscles that make up the core are the Rectus Abdominus, Internal and External Obliques, Transverse Abdominus and Spinal Erectors. When a coach tells you to brace your core what they mean is that you need to activate your core muscles, hip flexors, pelvic floor, diaphragm, lats and glutes to activate the bracing sequence. Once youve done this you can use your diaphragm to increase the intra-abdominal pressure. This means that all the above muscles groups are working together to provide stability to the trunk which then helps to protect your spine. This is why lifters also use a belt when lifting heavy to help with their brace, but we will get into that in another post. I read somewhere that not bracing is like an empty can of coke or a can with a slight hole in it. If you put any load or pressure on it, it will crumple and fall over. But a full can is like someone who has just braced their core, strong, harder to push over and stable when placed under load. This is why building strength in those smaller, boring muscles is key. Doing so can prevent injuries and help build a strong squat and ensure a long career as a lifter or as a gym goer. Squats but first brace that core because your backs life really does depend on it! Need help learning how to brace or with programming for injury prevention and core stability?

16.01.2022 It is obvious that feelings can influence our movements. When we are sad or anxious its easy to feel like we just want to sleep, eat a whole tub of Nutella and sleep some more. This is why sometimes when you are sad or anxious you may move a bit slower. And together, at this very moment, we are all going through hard times. Weve been given little notice as our norms have disappeared, our normal has been taken away from us. We are scared, anxious and we dont know what tom...orrow holds. For many, our will or ability to exercise may seem to be a thing of the past and that makes us a bit sad. But what we should instead realise is that movement and exercise can also have a huge impact on our feelings. Recent research from Harvard shows that the connection between your brain and your body is a two-way-street meaning that movement can change your brain and your emotions. Regular exercise, such as going for that walk outside, or if you are in full lock down pacing in your house, can reduce anxiety by making your brains fight or flight system less reactive. When anxious people (everyones right now) are exposed to physiological changes they fear, like an increase in our heart rate caused by regular aerobic exercise, we start to develop a tolerance for systems which in turn help to relieve our anxiety. Research also shows that all forms of exercise reduces signs and symptoms of depression and helps boost ones mood long term by increasing the levels of a brain protein called BDNF, this helps nerve fibers grow. So exercise, even if its a simple walk, a band workout or calisthenics, just move and increase that BDNF and try not to eat all of your lock down snacks! This will be over soon and we all need to keep our health. Just move

12.01.2022 Cov-19 Bench Cov-19 has come and now as a community of lifters we are being forced to adapt to changes when it comes to competition day. Probably the biggest change that lifters are noticing is with regards to the bench press hand out. We no longer have the luxury of the trusty overhead hand out, we now have the side hand out. Before you get frustrated with the spotters for handing the bar to you lopsided because one might put more pressure on the bar than the other, its n...ot their fault! Trust me, its almost impossible to get it perfect. It sucks, I know . So the solution may be to learn the self hand out . How well that works is up to you. Lets go over some pointers on how to self hand out your 1 RM and not get weaker before your lift. First, you need to get comfortable unracking the weight and getting into your start position with max weight and goal weight. And, you need to have the ability to handle the load when you get it and bring the weight to the start position. How to get there? Practice on comp style benches. Build up your upper back and core muscles. Position is key There are a heap of accessories you can use to directly build this skill and have the strength to do this without compromising your start position. Dont let your bench fall victim to Cov 19! Need help with your bench? Contact Iron Underground or myself. Happy Self Handout

10.01.2022 Rounded Upper Back in Conventional Deadlift Lets begin by clarifying that, when deadlifting, there is a difference between lower back rounding and upper back rounding. Many people dont know the difference, and why should they? This first post will briefly address upper back rounding when deadlifting. There are many benefits of rounding ones upper back during deadlifts, especially when training to compete in a load bearing sport like powerlifting. When you round your upper... back it substantially improves your leverage as your shoulders are protracted and hanging lower. This means that the range of motion will be shortened. And that means the distance the weight has to travel in order to fully lock out will decrease (so you need to move the weight a shorter distance to get your white lights, yeh)! If you look at almost any decent powerlifter you will see a slight rounded upper back when they are deadlifting, most top powerlifters will be able to do this while keeping their lumbar in a relatively neutral position. You need to be very careful when deadlifting. The spine is delicate and prone to be injured perpendicularly when placed under heavy loads in sub optimal positions. Deadlifts are not a good exercise to play around with as they have a high risk of injury if performed poorly. Iron Underground

09.01.2022 Why do we arch our backs when benching? Here are some fun facts. Your lumber and thoracic vertebrae and inter-vertebral discs are actually safest in a lordodic position, which is the fancy term for being arched. The main reason for this is that discs tend to herniate posteriorly due to the presence of an incredibly robust anterior longitudinal ligament in front of the spine. Even if the disc somehow manages to herniate anteriorly, the resultant herniation would likely be asym...ptomatic as the spinal nerves are behind the inter-vertebral discs, not in front of them. Arching the lower and mid back does not push the limit-range of motion of the cervical spine in the neck, so there is less concern of the probability of injuring the neck with arched benching. If your form is correct, arched benching (with a retraction of the scapulae) allows a greater use of the lower fibers of the chest muscles. Not only is this pushing angle likely safer for the glenohumeral joint of the shoulder, its also conducive to the great use of the larger mass of lower fibers (vs. upper fibers) of the pectoralis, which creates a more forceful lift without sacrificing as much safety as a flat pressing position might. This is if you are benching with a flat back with the aim of benching heavy, your shoulders are more likely to be sore. Lets be clear. Arched benching is not for everyone. It depends on ones goals, motivation for training and injury history. But, if you are training for a novice powerlifting comp, and your shoulders are sore and you find you are just not improving, think again and consider the above if your coach tells you arching your back will break your back. There is a lot of robust science behind the arched bench! Iron Underground
