Name Your Weak Points and How You Plan. . .

upper back. been doing face pulls for a while; beginning heavy rows and farmer's walks. Thinking about more arm work too. Can't hurt - I have scrawny arms!

 

[NWinters]

for calves, i realize they are largely genetic. i have heard that nelson montana's and doggcrapp's calf training ideas work great. i wouldnt know though. i never work calves and they are huge.

for tri's, dont let long arms bother you. ryan kennelly is 6'2-6'3 and has relatively long arms, even for his height. he still benched over 800. i also have long arms for my height, it sure doesnt bother me.

the key is to find where you fail at your pressing movement, and work that portion of the lift (benching i guess). board presses work tremendously. as do rack lockouts of various heights (usually 2 inch and 6-8 inch movements), as you're already planning on doing.

find the weak spot and attack it. it's a constant cycle but your numbers (and size) will always go up

Heh. I have too many to list.
But the one that I'm MOST concerned about is my lats.
I'm shaped like a Y and I want to be shaped like a V.

I bought a chinup tower and put it up in my living/dining room. Gonna do chins on it every time I walk past the damn thing. Currently on a good day I can do 8. My goal is 15.

And then there's calves. Sigh.

Deadlift up to 500 by the end of the year

solution: good mornings, deads, and work on my form....progress has been good so far.


Bench - break 300 soon!! and more importantly, add some mass!!!

solution: heavy pin presses, floor presses, work on my form...and if that doesn't work, try everything under the sun to get there.

and of course achieveing all these goals will involve lots of EATING

Bench-

form, and speed

Added a day for speed bench, and focusing on staying tight during the lift, squeezing the bar, taking a huge breath and holding it


Squat-

just keeping tight, work on form

Bench - speed and form.............. correctionsractice and reduce weight on speed day.

Squat - flexiblity and Abs......... corrections: hamstring stretching and heavier pulldown abs and oblique work.

Overhead press - triceps and core stability - work my abs and obliques and erectors more for balancing weight overhead. triceps im using more and more weight on my tate presses.

Deadlift - need stronger upper back and grip - plate pinching and farmers work for the grip - face pulls and arched gm's for the upper back.

events - i just need more practice with them. so im going to try to start setting up a training session with Cuthbert/and Brian74748~ and Bfold more often.
