You know, when I started out training as a skinny and weak 14 year old there was one thing that was ingrained in my DNA and that was that I LOVED to train hard and heavy!!!!
As my gym has grown and my schedule has filled it’s been hard to go heavy as I’ve done alot of work capacity and body weight exercises.
But, lately I’ve been getting back to my roots and started cranking out Hard and Heavy Barbell Lifts, Over Head Dumbbell lifts, and Heavy Ass Kettle Bell work for my grip and man has it paid off!!
In order to keep training heavy and keep making progress I keep up my mobility, dynamic warmups, and regeneration work through foam rolling and Lax ball.
Does this mean that I have abandoned all work capacity? Hell No!!
As I grow in age, training, and knowledge, I evolve to give my body what it needs.
Check out the video of a Heavy Ass Lower Body Session below…
The different squat variation is great way to overload your upper back and quads as the saftey squat bar wants to tip you forward. The chains allow for accomodating resistance so that i’m locking out more weight at the top some where around 365-380 lbs.
Sometimes I’ll rock this movement using sand bags and heavy kettlebells to increase my work capacity!!!Lately, the dumbbells and kettlebells have been getting abused by me
