Name Your Weak Points and How You Plan. . .

[louden_swain]

to correct them. This can be for powerlifters, bodybuilders, strongman/woman, or the casual lifter. I will start off:

CALVES

If someone can figure out how to get the calves to grow let me know. . . I have battled this for years and I have tried everything.
My plan is to keep punishing them with heavy weight and high reps. I plan to stick with low volume and train them every 96 hours.

TRICEPS (and locking out)

Naturally, I have long arms. . . it has taken years to fill out the upper arms, but still I am not satisfied. Pressing is always challenging and lockouts are hard for me. Most of the time when I perform pressing movements, I keep constant stress on the muscle. . . from this I mean I never lockout. However, I include plenty of lockout work. I plan to spend more time in the cage performing lockouts with heavy weights.

I forgot one thing. . .

Flexibility of the hips.

Seems like box squats and speed squats are helping with this.

 

[from zero]

Do what I can to bring my deadlift up to 405 ASAP. Working on box squats, RDLs, among other things.

Fix that little incline bench problem I've got. Going to lay off the heavy stuff for a little bit.

Within 30 days, start bulking. Answers itself.

for my deadlift, i have weak glutes, so i have done alot of work on the reverse hyper. 2 sets to warmup with before ME and DE sq/dl workouts. then 4 heavy sets during the workout. then i come back to the gym later in the day and do 3 sets with about 60% of what i used in the AM. so far its working great!

Speed and explosiveness.

Therefore I've recreated our program and made one week cycles of training (three weeks total); rather than try to "do it all" w/in just one week.

One week will be dovoted to speed/explosiveness via Renegade training methods. Another week will be rather helpful and that week will be the one for Oly-lifting.

We've already begun. And it's gonna be a fun year!

Hips and hams. Adding to my routine... good mornings (alt. regular and from pins in power rack), pull-throughs, box squats, clean pulls, sled dragging, and sprints
