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

Click on the link below to read my latest article on the many #benefits of varying the speed of your #bandedpullaparts during your #trainingsession from increased #tendonstrength to a bigger back! And remember that a stronger, bigger back makes for a bigger, stronger #benchpress. Do you follow these protocols? Is it something that would interest you?

I finally to using a #lightresistanceband instead of a mini for #bandedpullaparts! 🤪🤪. I really like the extra #tension on this in terms of building up my #upperback, especially since the reps are slow and controlled. So here's the last pull apart/#dumbbellbenchpress #superset of five, post yesterday's #squat session. For pull aparts I did just a few reps before doing 27.5x5x10. I always superset #upperbody exercises and you should as well. Do so for #muscularbalance. Do so for the sake of #injuryprevention. And tag a friend who might find this useful! #unitedinstrength #nasm #nasmcpt #onlinestrengthcoach #beginnersstrengthcoach #intermediatestrengthcoach #powerbodybuilding #igfitness #strongandshapelygym #legionathletics #teamlegion #legionpulse #fullbodystrength #fullbodytraining #strength #strong (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.") https://www.instagram.com/p/B6_IR-ejJ-M/?igshid=19fhbae8jtksf

More from yesterday's training. Post #squat #supersets of #bandedpullaparts with a #lightresistanceband and #dumbbellbenchpress with 27.5x5x10. #confessionsofanangrymetalhead #metalhead #metalheadlifters #ihatemyself #liftwithhatred #powerbodybuilding #liftwithrage #ihateyou #yourmothersucksdicksfordimesatdivebars #extrememetalfitness #yourmothersucksdicksinhell #strongandshapelygym #liftevil (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.") https://www.instagram.com/p/B6-balEJaqv/?igshid=12wzuw5zthp21

First time hitting 320 in a while. Quick reminder to always BRACE before performing ANY major #compoundmovement. It'll keep your #core tight and your spine as straight as possible. Also, since this a heavy week, and this is 90% of my 1RM, I intentionally stayed away from supersetting #bandedpullaparts before the #squat sets as a means to rest a little more and conserve at least some energy. I also decrease most of my #accesorywork during my heavy weeks, which gives me more of an opportunity to put more work into the big lifts and perhaps even try for a PR. This was 320X5X1. #unitedinstrength #nasm #nasmcpt #legionathletics #legionpulse #teamlegion #fullbodystrength #fullbodytraining #strength #strong #strongandshapelygym #flannelsandbarbells #flannelforever #fameandflannel #powerbodybuilding #fit #fitfam #igfitness #valsalvamaneuver #corestrength (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.") https://www.instagram.com/p/B69ojb-D4K4/?igshid=8brdmrcqbjda

Hi! Here's a #volume day on the #benchpress using 80% of my 1RM. Here's 135x4x4 followed by a #dropset of 80x20. I was considering try for a few heavy singles but I decided I probably wouldn't have the time today of all days. This is also supersetted with #bandedpullaparts. Always #superset #upperbody movements for #muscularbalance and #injuryprevention. A #strong back makes a strong bench. #unitedinstrength #igfitness #fit #fitness #powerbodybuilding #nasm #nasmcpt #nasmcertified #iamacpt #strength #strongandshapelygym #onlinestrengthcoach #beginnersstrengthcoach #intermediatestrengthcoach #legionathletics #teamlegion #legionpulse (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.") https://www.instagram.com/p/B6ea4JTjVts/?igshid=59venvgwuoz1

There are three different speeds you can use when performing #bandedpullaparts and they all have different benefits, as you'd expect. There's the #isometrichold , which I addressed a few days ago, there's a moderate speed, in which you can perform multie reps for scapular and delt #strength and #stability, and there's this slower speed seen here. This slower tempo will help build up the #muscles in the #upperback, much like performing most #dumbbell or #barbell moves with a slower tempo, only this also provided more #tension. Don't worry about banging out rep after rep when using this tempo, just make sure you FEEL your #scapula retracting. Also, try mixing the variations in speed on this depending on how heavy or light of a weight you're lifting. Ore on this to come! 💪💪💪 #unitedinstrength #igfitness #fit #fitness #miniresistancebands #strong #strongandshapelygym #nasm #nasmcpt #nasmcertified #reardelts #scapularetraction #posteriorchain #legionathletics #legionpulse #teamlegion #onlinestrengthcoach #beginnersstrengthcoach #lankylifters #talllifters (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.") https://www.instagram.com/p/B6YFR2fDPwu/?igshid=18ox5lkwy8jno
