Yo, homie, you got the stuff? …I’mma, look down at my phone so no one notices….

Close grip bench press will work the triceps more since your hands will be closer than a normal bench grip. How close? Hands should be about torso-width so that at the bottom of the bench, your hands are pretty close to the sides of your ribs. Use a moderate weight for the deadlifts in the...Read More

Many powerlifters prefer this technique over a conventional deadlift because the bar doesn’t have to travel as far off the ground. These sets of...Read More

Use the beginning of class to work on mobility for the handstand push-ups and overhead squats. Since this is a longer time domain, don’t go out of the gates in a full sprint – find a good pace for the movements and settle in. Scale HSPUs to things like wall walks, pike HSPUs on a...Read More
