BENCH BOARD WAVE 🌊. 595-2 B, 635-3B, 605-1B. Starting to feel heavier weights in my hands. Not as fast as I would have liked. But felt smooth and controlled. Always reminded of having small victories every workout. #canadianpowerlifting #ontariopowerlifting #ontariomuscle #ontariofit #opa #benchpress #howmuchyabench #bigbench #285kg #powerliftingcoach #benchpresscoaching #invictuspowerlifting #outlawpowerlifting #zonesmellingsalts (at Clarington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoMMG9MhMTR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qgmlxtddosm

“Persistence ! “ . 515 pounds with the kraken by @invictuspowerlifting . This is a great tool to teach you to stay tight. I fail on bench because I let my elbows drift and lose tightness in my back. The kraken helps lock me in position. Now if I can just start lowering the bar faster. . 🥩+🏋🏼‍♀️+🛌= 💪🏼 . #stsfitness #bestgyminharrison #strengththroughstruggle #invictuspowerlifting #benchpress #ageisjustanumber (at STS Gym) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3deUCpDUad/?igshid=14jdjjmlkphzr

After back and my regular bench top sets today I worked on some bench variations. Tempo changes, pauses and grip. Still working the weaknesses! #tempo #benchpresscoaching #benchpress #strengthtraining #westsidewednesday #fitnesswestgym #fitnesswest #invictuspowerlifting #howmuchyabench #bigbenchas #ontariopowerlifting #bcpowerlifting #canadianpowerlifting (at Fitness West)

A deload active rest day. When for a 8km hike and had to stop to cool off the puppies. The clean air, amazing sun and mountain scenery makes for a great place to lower stress and cortisol. All the back and shoulder work looks like it is paying off 😂😝#zonesmellingsalts #fitnesswest #okanaganstrong #okanaganlife #kalamaka #railtrail #invictuspowerlifting #recovery #deload #sundayfunday (at Coldstream Valley overlooking Kalamalka Lake) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1UnULLhSwY/?igshid=13ob204ni14z4

Invictus Powerlifting athlete @steigy72 took the IYT to a new level and a great profession to the incline bench! He won't be my "sleeper" athlete or flying under the radar soon! This guy is a machine! #powerliftingcoach #ontariopowerlifting #invictuspowerlifting #canadianpowerlifting #crossfit #powerlifting #mutant #ontariomuscle #fitfam #howmuchyabench #opa #yyzfitness

“Deja Vu” . The plan was 465 for 1 to overload with the kraken. Yet again I almost drop it on my face. That pissed me off. I should be past doing that. So I said fuck it. Kept it. And got the job done. Had a good solid team backing me up. @kennethcoleman_sts @fit_life_buffy_sts @twisted_light_by_julie . 🥩+🏋🏼‍♀️+🛌= 💪🏼 . . . #stsfitness #arkansaspowerlifting #eattobestrong #invictuspowerlifting #strengththroughstruggle #crazyattractscrazy https://www.instagram.com/p/B20WTiTDJG7/?igshid=j24xyzt8f15b

Heavy heavy holds after a great bench session! 735lbs for a long slow 10 count. And then 775lbs for a 5 count. But the 775 felt better in my hands. Tighter grip and set up. #zonesmellingsalts #ontariomuscle #ontariopowerlifting #powerliftingcoach #benchpresscoaching #singleply #titansupportsystems #titancanada #285kg #roadtotokyo #canadapowerlifting #outlawpowerlifting #invictuspowerlifting #strength #equippedbruisedtired (at Clarington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpA84bEhnNG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ufbzpzmwxosq

@coachkav ・・・ Jay-Z seeks to identify with those who have the knowledge he wants to acquire. Repeatedly throughout his career, he absorbs his mentor’s abilities, surpasses them, and leaves them behind. You might consider this a negative, like he isn't giving proper credit where it's due. I think it's genius. It reminds me of famed actor and martial artist Bruce Lee's principle: Absorb what is useful, reject what is useless. Jay-Z knows the importance of balance, but recognizes another component of what it takes to MAN UP. #canadianpowerlifting #ontariopowerlifting #clarington #powerliftingmotivation #powerliftingcoach #benchpresscoaching #opa #zonesmellingsalts #invictuspowerlifting #outlawpowerlifting https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn5A2iNgI0B/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ebrmb433265p

I took a hot yoga class on the weekend after heavy squats! And I was humbled! But what a great motivation! Seeing all my weaknesses, flexibility, mobility, core strength and balance. Time to step it up! #powerliftingcoach #ontariofit #ontariomuscle #ontariopowerlifting #canadianpowerlifting #hotyoga #humble #motovation #teaminvictus #invictuspowerlifting #lifetimefitness #lifetimeajax https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnl5q5-AaKh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1958uc8efmf4q

1st day back at Outlaw in my squat suit. Squats feel good and bar speed is better then expected. Conditioning and getting use to taking in air is lacking. Now the fun begins. #clarington #ontariopowerlifting #ontariofit #singleplytillidie #equippedpowerlifting #powerliftingcoach #canfitpro #outlawpowerlifting #invictuspowerlifting #titancanada #titansupportsystems (at Clarington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnQ975bAOmT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=129n4r82djtes

@pheasyque ⭕️KNEES WHEN PULLING SUMO⭕️ - Hae you ever taken a close look to your knee stance when sumo deadlifting? - Are you externally rotating your hips, knees & feet ? Or you’re letting them rotate inwards & cave in? - ✅✅✅ When setting up for a sumo deadlift it’s extremely important to keep your knees pointing in the same direction as your feet, and you can do that by externally rotating your hips & forcing the arch on your feet (kind of a tripod). - ❌❌❌ Instead what people tend to do is round over the bar, let the arches collapse inwards, making knees cave in & hips rotate inwards. - Do not make this mistake! Have a wide stance, just as you’d “ride a horse”! #ontariopowerlifting #ontariofit #sumodeadlift #deadlift #invictuspowerlifting #canadianpowerlifting #canadapowerlifting #cscs #powerliftingcoach #chucktaylors #converse (at Courtice) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnJMRsOAsJP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mh8p9f6nf0wy

1-1-1-1-1-1-1 tempo Military Bench Press! Bar control, mind muscle control and some discipline. Harder than it looks.

@pheasyque ・・・ ⭕️BENCH PRESS ARCH: HOW TO BUILD IT⭕️ - Before y'all ask me where to buy these ropes, it's obviously just an analogy to visualize the shoulderblades tucking motion that we have to execute at the bench press set up, before performing the actual rep. - A strong arch is not only "recommended" but actually essential to be able to bench press safely and strongly. - But isn't the arch bad for your back? No it isn't. Especially, since it's not a lower back arch we're talking about, but rather an upper back one (thoracic extensions) which comes naturally, as a response to you "pulling the ropes down", basically pulling your shoulderblades down and back. Try it out yoursef, you'll create an arch. - With that said, the bench press arch is always a "go to" - it's not just for power lifters. And that's because it's S A F E. - There's no other way you're going to save your shoulders from getting injured, so you better nail that arch already if you want to maximize chest gains and train the way you're supposed to train. - So yeah: visualize yourself with two ropes attached to your shoulder blades. The left one gets pulled to the right and down, while the right one gets pulled to the left and down like an X. - That will automatically create an upper back arch, put your shoulders in a safe spot and push your chest out to maximize its stretch and muscle recruitment. - 🔥🔥🔥TAG somebody who needs to see this! #pheasyque #howmuchyabench #bigbenchas #bencharch #serioussteelfitness #benchpress #benchpresscoaching #powerliftingcoach #ontariopowerlifting #bcpowerlifting #fitnesswest #ontariofit #ontariomuscle #invictuspowerlifting (at Fitness West) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmByXGMgBY7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gr965ea2qaht

I have been slowly integrating and progressing through various GHR movements into my workouts. This week 5x5 after a full week 5 of the Armenian Squat Program. Accessories included, single leg dead and squat super sets. And of course the McGill Big 3 warm up, between sets and a cool down. #powerliftingcoach #practicewhatyoupreach #canfitpro #canadapowerlifting #canadianpowerlifting #canadianpowerliftingunion #ontariopowerlifting #okanaganfit #bcpowerlifting #fitnesswest #mcgillbig3 #squats #powerlifting #invictuspowerlifting (at Fitness West) https://www.instagram.com/p/BlqfCcIHZzR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l6uy00lt5ffo
