Challenge yourself. Sometimes, on order to achieve more than average results you have no choice but to push even your own capabilities. As I start training for potentially my first #powerlifting meet since 2017 I'm doing ANYTHING to SQUEEZE out reps and not "just" get #strong, but to also put some nice, thick #muscle on me. That's why after all medium and #highvolume #squat days, I'm now performing #dropsets of that day's first warmup set for 10 - 20 reps. So here's 152.5x10, done a minute or two after hitting 255x4x4 on the @roguefitness #yokebar. This is REAL #coretraining. This bar will humble you quick if you're not focused. @strongandshapely_gym #unitedinstrength #roguefitness #quads #safetybarsquats #nasm #nasmcpt #nasmcertified #onlinestrengthcoach #beginnersstrengthcoach #intermediatestrengthcoach #fullbodystrength #fullbodytraining #legionathletics #legionpulse #legionathletics #powerbodybuilding #bodybuilding #igpowerlifting #igbodybuilding #meetprep (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.") https://www.instagram.com/p/B8eyAx-j56g/?igshid=118taeuywqx1c

Yikes!!! #unitedinstrength #igfitness #powerbodybuilding #powerlifting #bodybuilding #squat #squatbloopers #yikes #benpollack #phdeadlift #onlinestrengthcoach #beginnersstrengthcoach #intermediatestrengthcoach #strength #strong #Repost @phdeadlift (@get_repost) ・・・ Next up on the #phdumbass list: the one time I (literally) #lostit squatting 738 at @bigtexgym 😳 This one falls into the #dumbass category for the obvious reason: you should ALWAYS squat with safeties and stay with the bar if you can't complete a lift. In this case, I didn't have safeties because I was (unreasonably) confident in the weight and wanted to practice with the mono. I didn't stay with the bar because I just couldn't react fast enough. As soon as I felt it slipping I was pretty much #deerinheadlights mode and just froze. Obviously that's all on me; it was an awful mistake and I'm grateful to Big Tex for not just kicking me out then! And I'm also grateful that no one (myself included) was hurt. On the bright side, I went on to squat 799 at Reebok Record Breakers after this 👍 https://www.instagram.com/p/B-9f0SZj73_/?igshid=nzb1fa8pogyr

One of my best #benchpress nights in a while. Most of my training from last night is was filmed minus things like #bandedpullaparts, #chinups and #planks. But the important stuff is all here. One thing to remember when setting up to bench, is to make sure your whole body is AIR FREAKING TIGHT before you even unrack the bar. Keep it tight throughout the movement. Squeeze those #glutes, squeeze your #legs, keep your #scapula retracted at ALL TIMES. You'll be amazed at how much you can bench. Remember that #strength is a skill. Fire up the #motorpatterns correctly at the rest comes easily. My training (worksets only): #bandedbackextensions 65x2x10 Pull Aparts 3x20 Chinups b/wx4 bench press 135x4x6, 145x3, 150x1, 80 (60% of 135) x20 #legpress 180x3x20 plank 20 seconds @strongandshapely_gym #unitedinstrength #powerbodybuilding #powerlifting #bodybuilding #onlinestrengthcoach #intermediatestrengthcoach #fullbodystrength #beginnersstrengthcoach #fullbodytraining #legionathletics #legionpulse #teamlegion #nasmcpt #nasm #nasmcertified #strongandshapelygym #posteriorchain #neuromuscularefficiency (at Strong and Shapely Gym) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Uh1j9DzLD/?igshid=18n8fu8a7dug6

I was back the legendary @apollongym for yet another #safetysquat session yesterday. This started off week 4 of my current program which will most likely end with my return to competition in May. In two more weeks I'll relegate this variation to an accessory move as I bring back the traditional barbell #squat. Here's 272.5x4x4 with the 65lb @elitefts #yokebar for a little more size in them #quads! #unitedinstrength #igfitness #apollngym #hardcoregyms #bodybuilding #powerbodybuilding #powerlifting #fullbodystrength #fullbodytraining #eliteftsyokebar #onlinestrengthcoach #beginnersstrengthcoach #intermediatestrengthcoach #nasmcpt #nasm #nasmcertified #benchpress #squat #legionathletics #legionpulse #teamlegion (at Apollon Gym) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9PRDqAjoWz/?igshid=11z0sismtmm9z

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

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!

Here's my #deadlift session to end my current light week. This is the final set of 267.5x3x8, #beltless. This is 80% of my.1RM. Not filmed is my #dropset of 160x10. Also, @strongandshapely_gym will be unveiling their first piece of new equipment tonight at 5pm if they hit 3,000 followers by then. So follow them now as they begin a new era under new ownership! #unitedinstrength #nasm #strongandshapelygym #strong #strength #powerbodybuilding #fullbodystrength #fullbodytraining #onlinestrengthcoach #beginnersstrengthcoach #lankylifters #talllifters #intermediatestrengthcoach #intermediatelifters #hardgainer #legionathletics #teamlegion #legionpulse #iamacpt #nasmcertified (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.") https://www.instagram.com/p/B63dKVzDjDZ/?igshid=7xm0xp7z6ss3

Body by #highvolume. Do you identify as a #hardgainer? It's a classic term at this point, and one meant to pigeonhole thinner lifters who can't seem to ever put on #size. Unfortunately, it's allowed some lifters to think there's absolutely no hope for them. And that's silly, especially when you consider that even the guy who invented the term "Hardgainer" said there are ways to get past that hurdle! And now look at these pictures. I'm not the biggest guy in the world, or even the strongest, evidently. But I'm certainly the thickest I've ever been to date and I can without question identify as a hardgainer. So what's different? I simply pushed my body to work more, and to work smarter. Are you thinner lifter, struggling to surpass yours and other people's expectations of you? Then message me right now and I will show you what works! #unitedinstrength #igfitness #lankylifters #fit #fitfam #fitness #powerbodybuilding #beginnersstrengthcoach #onlinestrengthcoach #intermediatestrengthcoach #fullbodystrength #fullbodytraining #nasm #nasmcpt #iamacpt #legionathletics #teamlegion #legionpulse #strength #strong #squat #benchpress #deadlift #overheadpress #nevergiveup #nevergivein https://www.instagram.com/p/B6lKKijDKHi/?igshid=1k8o895j9q46a

I recently conducted a poll on #autoregulation, as it'll be the basis of the new intermediate level #powerbodybuilding program I'm experimenting with. I used my own judgement to decide the amount of sets and reps when I perform the major #compoundmovements depending on whether I'm in a light, medium or heavy week. So here, on this heavy week, I decided to perform 300x5x1. This is 85% of my 1RM and perhaps, the next time I go heavy, I'll try to reach higher if I feel I can. I was pressed for time today. #unitedinstrength #igfitness #squat #fit #fitness #fitfam #flannelsandbarbells #fullbodystrength #fullbodytraining #onlinestrengthcoach #intermediatestrengthcoach #beginnerstrengthcoach #lankylifters #talllifters #iamacpt #nasmcpt #nasmcertified #teamlegion #legionathletics #strongandshapelygym #strength #strong (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.") https://www.instagram.com/p/B6GvgumDLfw/?igshid=b47taatb47w1

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

Instead of New Years resolutions 👇🏼⁣ ⁣ *save this post for reminders*⁣ ⁣ There are so many reasons why New Year's resolutions don’t work when it comes to your fitness. I’ll tell you what to do instead.⁣ ⁣ (I’m not against resolutions, I just know that for the majority of people they don’t set you up for success)⁣. ⁣ And that’s because fitness, it’s not just in your mind.⁣ ⁣ You don't lose weight and become fit just because you have made up your mind to do so on January 1.⁣ ⁣ It is precisely this thinking that's keeping you stuck in your current cycle of bad diets and harmful workouts. ⁣ ⁣ What you need is a plan that is feasible in the long term. ⁣ ⁣ Something you can do every day as you continue to live your life. ⁣ ⁣ A plan where you can eat cake at birthday parties with your friends and family, where you don't have to deprive yourself of joy and companionship just because there are certain things that you cannot eat. ⁣ ⁣ If you have failed your fitness resolution for the year, I congratulate you. ⁣ ⁣ Now, here are some things you should do instead:⁣ ⁣ Make a sustainable plan. ⁣ ⁣ Change one small thing until it becomes a habit. ⁣ ⁣ Examples:⁣ ⁣ - Use honey instead of processed white sugar. ⁣ ⁣ - Drink a glass of water before you reach for your morning coffee. ⁣ ⁣ - Walk instead of drive every once in a while.⁣ ⁣ - Head to bed before 11 pm⁣ ⁣ - Eat a few more vegetables ⁣ ⁣ And then before you know it, without completely overhauling everything at once (system overload) you will have changed your entire routine and filled it with healthy sustainable life habits. ⁣ ⁣ This is exactly what I teach inside my Dunnebells 8-week program.⁣ ⁣ We have TWO spots left and we kick off on Feb 1.⁣ ⁣ Sign up by visiting the link in my bio. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #bethefire #dunnebells #onlinepersonaltrainer #onlinestrengthcoach #strengthcoachforwomen #macrocoach #truecoach #popsugarfitness #newyears2021 #fitnessresolutions (at Victoria, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKiGol-nOCR/?igshid=ewmnbhjv9043
