Remember, a punt is a way to gain an advantage in field position.
Sometimes lifting is like golf. Think back to all those terrible little books you had to go through, to learn the intricacies of the game.
You ran the Progressive Gradual Overload scheme. You learned that part, now you can cross it off the list.
Then you started to ride the bike around, so you learned to work in some conditioning.
Conveniently with S.S., you worked up in sets of 5, until you found your 5 rep max. Now you know the perfect number to use as your âTraining Max.â The Triumvirate plan will teach you how to plan your assistance work. At first, youâll do the stuff you think is cool. But then, youâll figure out what lifts to do to work every thing, every week.
In a few weeks or cycles, youâll take a deload. At first it will suck, but it will teach you ârestoration techniques.â When you avoid the gym, youâll find yourself doing tons of pull aparts and Limber 11âs.
Youâre right on track! You can ever go super scientific. You ran an âIntensification Phase!â Now, when you hit rep PRâs for a few cycles, youâll be in an âAccumulation Phase.â
When you get bored with your current set-up, you can simply rotate to a more exciting template. The training max and âroutineâ will keep you on track, so youâll never be wasting your time.
When you want to do lower reps and the linear scheme, you can switch to the 5âs Progression. You can use the first set last, or âBack Offsâ to do all kinds of cool stuff. If you want to go straight body builder you can do As many reps as possible, or Rest Pause with your first set last.
After a few months not worrying about benching 2 plates and just training, youâll be a lot closer to benching two plates.
When I stop trying to kill the ball, and just swing smooth for awhile, my drives will get better.
There are five laws of ball flight. The one that has the greatest influence on distance is centeredness of impact - hitting it on the center of the club face. So, swinging harder doesnât make a difference, unless, you are hitting it on the center of the club face.
Consider purchasing some impact tape - it goes on the clubface and tells you where you are making contact. Once you get better at that, then you can work on being square at impact, angle of approach, and length of arc, lol.
What a cool training tool. Iâve never heard of that before.
Next time I bench press, Iâm going to put chalk on the center of the bar. Then Iâm going to look at my chest in the mirror, and make sure I touched on the same spot every time.
Great choice. Thatâs kind of sort of what Iâm doing (yes for press and bench, not so much for DL and squat) and it feels great. When you get bored, look at chucking FSL for AMRAP or multiple sets in.
Dude, absolutely not! Sumo is a fantastic idea. I didnât suggest it because I thought all DL variations were out. Itâll leave your back alone, so Iâd make sure to do back extensions and stuff if possible.
If you havenât already, a good way to find your stance is to set up so your knees are directly above your ankles. Thatâll ensure you have vertical shins. Donât go wider than that until youâre comfortable. Youâll have to experiment with how wide to splay your feet. Forty five degrees is probably a good starting point.
Be patient off the floor. Keep the bar in contact with your shins at all times, and your shoulders behind the bar.
You could always try an elevated deadlift, like a block pull. Pulling off the floor can be difficult for some folks. Iâm a big fan of avoiding it as much as possible.
Leg Extensions 5x15@65
Ham Curls 5x10@60
Pull Aparts 5x20
Face Pulls 5x15@25
Shrugs 5x20@60 ea
I looked again, my version has Good Mornings and Hanging Leg raises, but it really doesnât matter - the whole deal is about doing three (tri) exercises and clearly, INDTP. The main thing is the 5/3/1 on the main lifts.
