Don't be afraid to pull in a warped, shitty bar just because your precious #texasdeadliftbar is being used. Builds character in a man. I've used shitty bars for YEARS; so if I can do what I did tonight there's fucking no excuse for you. Then again, you'd have to hate yourself like I do me. Here's 335x3x6. #confessionsofanangrymetalhead #metalhead #metalheadlifters #powerbodybuilding #igpowerlifting #powerlifting #powerliftingismetal #bodybuilding #igbodybuilding #liftwithhatred #liftwithrage #deadlift #deadliftheartthrob #ihatemyself #ihateyou #selfabuse #extrememetal #extrememetalfitness #dreamsofbodydysmorphia #yourmothersucksdicksinhell #selfloathing #strongandshapelygym (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.") https://www.instagram.com/p/B7rx6z6pM0b/?igshid=f1lba7h0byau

There's a lot to be said about #instinctivetraining, as @boninierik so eloquently put it just last week. So how the hell do you exactly train by...feel? Is it even possible?? Of course it is! But I do recommend learning as much as you can about all types of training, and then making it into your own. That's how I realized that breaking up reps in groups based on the desired #intensity can be optimal not "just" for #strength , but also for #musclemass. New program to come if this proves to be a success! Here's the last set of 135x8, 6, 6. #unitedinstrength #strong #strongandshapelygym #nasm #nasmcpt #igpowerlifting #powerbodybuilding #powerlifting #igfitness #igbodybuilding #bodybuilding #teamlegion #legionathletics #legionpulse #beginnersstrengthcoach #onlinestrengthcoach #intermediatestrengthcoach #benchpress #fullbodystrength #fullbodytraining #iamacpt (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.") https://www.instagram.com/p/B7oKfc8DqiL/?igshid=1q8e62lfncsu

Mr Badass on the platform!!! 80 years old!!! via @alex.ggf ・・・ This is 231 for an American Record for 80year old Raw Division. One of the oldest competitors still competing and repping @gorillagangfit to the fullest !! 8/9 for Phelps. 151#/105#/231# missed his last bench at 115# but Bench has always been his weak point. So proud of my man, kept telling me I deserved his medal... but reminded him that he is he one putting in all this hard work at an age where people can't even fathom. Thank you to anyone who came up to introduce yourself, congratulate or even cheered for him. Makes him super happy and makes him want to keep competing. @brian_gumapl @gorillagangfit @missionfitnesscenter @mtownmonsta @johnny.takeover #gorillagangfitness #teamgorillagang #teamggf #mtownmonstas #teamggf #angryjoecoffee #squats #benchpress #deadlift #powerlifter #powerlifting #bodybuilding #powerbuilding #uspa #guyswholift #training #igpowerlifting #thesilverbackswristwraps @rochemccoy @grillsosxe @anthonyramirez114 @bigghurra_ @uspapower #uspapower @el.thoro_ @d0uevenlift @lopezmarteen

Here's quick tip on #restperiods. Sure, the standard window for resting between sets is between 1 -3 minutes if #musclemass is the goal and 3 - 5 minutes if you're going for #strength. But in terms of a hybrid routine like #powerbodybuilding, don't worry about that stuff. This is not to say hang out for 20 minutes between sets! But as @mikeohearn once said, take your time. The goal, especially with increasing the amount of sets you perform and decreasing the amount of reps you hit per set, is that you'll come back each set with enough energy to bang those reps out. That's REAL Power Bodybuilding, not performing a #compoundmovement for a few sets and then hitting light work. It's primarily about going all out on that big move and getting as much as you can out of it. That's were the size AND the strength REALLY come from!

Flannels And Barbells. It's not a gimmick. It's a way of life. And I'm certainly not the first lifter to hit a gym wearing this badass piece of clothing, I'm simply the one giving it a comeback. Why? Because nothing has kept from rolling down my back like #flannel. Also, it's just badass to wear. What moreof an explanation do you need?

Good morning! Are you ready to smash your goals this week? Here's a tip I learned a while ago from @phdeadlift regarding #latactivation while setting up for the #squat. Start by simply grabbing on to the bar from the front, you hands in a suppinated (underhanded) grip, your arms at shoulder width. From there, while still holding the bar, bring yourself under the bar and up against it. From there you may adjust your hands accordingly. I felt that my lats were engaged immediately, which definitely helped with keeping me stable with the bar in my back. Try this if you have problems keeping your lats engaged and tell me if this works for you. Also, friendly reminder that I am available for online coaching. Do not hesitate to drop me line if you want to get strong quickly! #unitedinstrength #igfitness #igbodybuilding #igpowerlifting #powerbodybuilding #fitnlfam #powerlifting #bodybuilding #fitness #techniquebreakdown #techniqueiseverything #squattechnique #latisimusdorsi #nasmcpt #nasmfitness #nasmcertified #nasm #onlinestrengthcoach #beginnersstrengthcoach #benpollack #drbenpollack #phdeadlift (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.") https://www.instagram.com/p/B3UIbK7D-Ig/?igshid=ss9b9xw79kgz

Heres an example of how #glutebridges can carry over to your #benchpresssetup. Frequently performing Bridges stretch out your #hips, allowing you to raise them as high as you can. This will allow you to dig your #scapula into the bench as much as possible. It also allows me to bring my legs as far back as possible while keeping my feet flat. And since you need to keep your #core tight along with your #glutes and your entire #posteriorchain, while performing Bridges, this will enforce keeping tight while you set up to bench, and subsequently, while performing the exercise. Do you agree?

This felt little better than last time, especially since I'm actually repeating a cycle over again. And since enough #gripstrength is back that I can perform #chinups again, I'm supersetting them with my #overheadpress and #benchpress. I'm also performing as many chin ups as I can before I even begin my pressing movements. I hit five today for the first time since 2017. Here's my last OP set of 100x5, followed immediately by three chin ups. One rep at a time. #unitedinstrength #igfitness #igpowerlifting #powerbodybuilding #powerlifting #strong #strength #fullbodytraining #nasm #strongandshapelygym #nasmcpt #nasmcertified #letstraintogether #iamacpt #certifiedpersonaltrainer #letstraintogether #legionathletics #legionpulse @legionath @nasm_fitness (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.") https://www.instagram.com/p/B0WhMkVD3Rk/?igshid=1lmolod6a0vfj

Not THE greatest training session ever, but you can't have five star sessions all the time anyway. But I don't look either for a guy who was forced to take time off. I'm still a believer in #fullbodytraining , especially with the big muscle groups. I wanted to record my last set #overheadplatecarry set but I had no room. Those are BRUTAL, I'll tell you that much! The workout: Banded Back Extension: 80x10 Squat: 250x5, 285x5, 315x4 Dumbbell Bench Press: 27.5x5x10 Overhead Plate Carry: 45x3x3, 2, 2.5 #unitedinstrength #igfitness #igpowerlifting #powerbodybuilding #powerlifting #overheadplatecarry #dumbbellbenchpress #squat #bandedbackextensions #nasm #nasmcertified #nasmcpt #iamacpt #strong #strength #certifiedpersonaltrainer #legionathletics #legionpulse #beyond531 #jimwendler #strongandshapelygym #nj #njpersonaltrainer #letstraintogether #nevergiveup #nevergivein @nasm_fitness @legionath (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.") https://www.instagram.com/p/B0MKVFTD2V7/?igshid=a1o3z6u25han

Well damn...my first ever 419lb #deadlift. Never thought I'd make it this far, let alone the fact that it went up so smoothly. Feels good as I'm coming to the end of this cycle, which will be Thursday. I talk a lot about #legdrive and strengthening the #posteriorchain. But what I haven't spoken about in a while is bracing your #core. I take a deep breath before I pull and only exhale at the top, only to breath in again before my next rep, or even just to put the bar down. This will your spine as straight as possible and tighten the rest of your body, which is so crucial to any major #compoundmovement. #unitedinstrength #igfitness #fitfam #fitness #nasmcpt #nasm #nasmcertified #iamacpt #certifiedpersonaltrainer #personaltrainer #letstraintogether #nasmfitness #igpowerlifting #powerbodybuilding #powerlifting #fullbodytraining #beyond531 #jimwendler #strong #strength #ificandoitsocanyou #nevergiveup #nevergivein #strongandshapelygym #njpersonaltrainer #northjersey #nj #newjersey (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.") https://www.instagram.com/p/BzJ9i6EDP9Q/?igshid=15v9x9twhakz7

@ace.elite.33 and @emillia_esther, take a good look at this because this will be both of you soon enough. This also goes out to @bronsonlifts because he told me he wanted more videos on this topic. 😂🤣😂🤣. Anyway, here's a brand new #bandedbackextensions PR of 100lbs for 10! Because remember, a stronger #lowerback makes for a stronger #squat and #deadlift. Happy now Rich? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #unitedinstrength #igfitness #igpowerlifting #powerlifting #powerbodybuilding #nasm #nasmcpt #nasmcertified #iamacpt #fullbodytraining #certifiedpersonaltrainer #strong #strength #injuryprevention #corestrengthening #miniresistancebands #posteriorchain #oneononepersonaltraining #onlinepersonaltraining @nasm_fitness (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.") https://www.instagram.com/p/Byl4lktjcnz/?igshid=1hhdc59vsois4

Training after getting over a sinus headache is not cool. Happens to me around this time. All the time. But I made no excuses and, while this workout took a little longer than it should've thanks to it, I still got it done. I talk from time to time about the importance of #legdrive in #compoundmovements and today was proof that it helps. If it wasn't for me SQUEEZING the life out of my #glutes and #quads I don't think I would hit that last rep on this 110lb #overheadpress. First time on a LONG time that I hit three reps! This ended with #20repsquats at 185lbs. It wasn't easy, but it's not supposed to be. It's a very brutal exercise, but that exactly why it's so effective. I'm available for #onlinepersonaltraining and #oneononepersonaltraining if you want me to help you get #strong.
