20.01.2022 I call this one brace or die. 40 degrees Celsius and zero fucks given. 170-180kg on the farmers, 140kg on the sled. This was after squat and stiff leg deadlift pyramids as well as accessories. #excusesgetnoresults #antifragile #powerlifting #liftheavy #farmerscarries #sled #squat #deadlift #getsome #training #beardsandbarbells #train #gym #warehousegym

17.01.2022 I think this is the most important thing next to working hard. Too many athletes focus on what they want to do and they are good at rather than looking at what they need to improve their performance in their given sport. #priorities #gogetit #powerlifting #powerlifter #objectivity #gym #fit #train #training #girlswholift #guyswholift #instaquote #wheresyourheadat? #strong #strength #barbelltraining

15.01.2022 This is so damn interesting. Will have to give the full study a read tonight when I have time. #Repost @chrisabeardsley External load type is the way in which the external resistance changes over an exercise range of motion (ROM). External resistance can either stay constant, reduce, or remain the same over the exercise ROM.... Free weights involve a reducing external resistance over the exercise ROM. They involve weight + inertia at the start of the exercise ROM, just weight in the middle, and weight less inertia at the end. In other words, free weights are hard to get moving, but once they are in motion, you can make use of momentum to finish the lift. Elastic bands or chains can be used to alter the external resistance provided by free weights, and make it more like a constant external resistance. By adding more loading throughout the lift, it is possible to compensate for the loss of inertia in the middle, and the effect of momentum at the end. Pneumatic resistance do a similar job to elastic bands and/or chains added to the barbell, by providing a constant external resistance with air pressure. Since there is little inertia, the lifter quickly reaches the constant external resistance and must exert force against this through the whole exercise ROM. There are 2 key differences between free weight and pneumatic resistances: 1 compared with pneumatic resistance, free weights involve a greater load at the start of the exercise ROM, which places more load on the muscle in a stretched position. This probably causes differences in joint angle-specific gains in strength between the two external load types. 2 compared with pneumatic resistance, free weights take longer to accelerate, because there is a high load at the start of the exercise ROM. So pneumatic resistance typically involves faster bar speeds for the same relative load. This probably causes differences in velocity-specific gains in strength between the two external load types. This important training study shows the specific effects of training with each external load type. ------------------- #sandcresearch #strengthandconditioning #strengthtraining #strength #sportsscience #biomechanics

15.01.2022 @marcelmcclernon with the goods. 6 weeks and a 10kg PB on his bench with 140kg and a 5kg on on his squats with 175kg. Good way to start the year. #Repost @marcelmcclernon Lel 140 bench and 175 squat wtf thanks @barbell_samurai_coach_steve for the year of gains @nataliapowerlifts and @brendaonpoint for the support much thank @jamillaboyaci for getting me all this sickening powerlifting gear... #powerlifting #gains #powerlifter #guyswholift #beardsandbarbells #bench #liftheavy #strong #training #winning #barbellsamurai #killingit #pb #pr #squat

14.01.2022 Today's office. Getting my clients all the gains. Looking at you @marcelmcclernon. #programming #metrics #learning #teaching #powerlifting #gym #intelligenttraining #thinklifteat

02.01.2022 6x6 with 92kg with wide competition grip, then 120kg paused single. Trying to get used o wide again after so long with closer grips. @brunches_n_crunches Thanks for the filming . #powerlifting #gains #powerlifter #guyswholift #beardsandbarbells #bench #liftheavy #strong #training #winning #barbellsamurai #killingit
