Still working on opening that right hip up and keeping the left foot at a larger angle. The majority of my reps were good, the video shows warm-up and one working set to not be great with a little shift. Other than that we were moving well today. Week 1 Day 3 -...

Well, de-load is over and I wish it wasn't. It took a long time to warm up this morning and I was NOT looking forward to getting bent over at 10 am. You all know it is inevitable, using this bar and going for max effort it will happen or you did not go max effort,...

Bar Wars Wk2: Duffalo Floor Press

by Christian Anto | Feb 28, 2020 | Training Video

Training I like implementing the buffalo bar for pressing but only when the range of motion is limited. This bar requires you to press the bar OUTWARD if you want to mimic your normal bench press and utilize more triceps. The reason I think this is, because of the bow...
