Proper set-ups and a strong grip

Both of these factors will contribute greatly to the success of the lift or sets being performed. The proper set-up puts the athlete in the most mechanically efficient position to execute a lift and be successful. If needed, and today it was, a strong grip will complete the chain between the athlete, the implement and the ground. We are only as strong as our weakest link.

Training:
1,1,1,1,1
3,3,3,3,3
5,5,5,5,5
Press
Push-press
Push-jerk


F.T.G. training: Handstand push-ups, practice and get used to being upside down for 30 minutes. If you are able to do these right away work them in sets: 3-5 sets of 3-5 reps with 3-5 minutes rest in between. You choose today.
