| COACHING CUE | . “Step on the $100 bill!” – picked up from Josh Melendez, CF-L3/CCFT @josh_melendez87 . When? Heel position throughout the catch in rowing . What does this mean? Don’t lift your heel and let the $100 bill fly away! . “The minute that you allow someone to lift their heels, the hips slide underneath the shoulders. . The minute you put someone's heels down, you eliminate the possibility of them putting their hips behind the shoulders. . Does it shorten the stroke? . Sometimes. BUT, we're teaching them good movement. Heels down teaches them how to press through the entire foot and how to press through the heel and engage the posterior chain.” – Shane Farmer @shanefarmer founder of @darkhorserowing . I hope you found this valuable. If so, #repost or tag someone who needs to see it. . Quickly access 350+ educational boards on the WBD Glossary – LINK IN BIO @whiteboard_daily .

Deadlift

LET'S TALK ABOUT INERTIA . Inertia is resistance of a physical object to change in velocity. You may have heard the phrase "an object at rest tends to stay at rest" or Newton's first law of motion, "an object not subject to any net external force moves at a constant velocity". . Aka…nothing will change unless it is forced to change. . This is strength training. You have an external object moving (or not moving) downwards and we need to act upon it to move it the opposite direction. Better put, the weight isn't going to lift itself. . Now, let's apply this to the deadlift. You are the external force. The bar and plates are the object to be moved. . It will take a certain amount of force to break the inertia of the bar. This force is created by your muscular contraction. . Now, some people are "fast lifters" and others are "slow lifters". A lot of this comes down to how fast they can develop that requisite force, a term we call rate of force development. . When you aren't tight though the upper back, if you don't exert enough force to immediately break the ground, the bar will stop you in your tracks and likely throw you out of position, altering the load distribution across your body and making the lift much harder. ? . If however you pretension the bar and your whole body, you can then exert that force quickly or build it slowly and have no change in your leverages, making for a more efficient lift. . There is benefit here of irradiation as that will increase your strength as well. . So get tight, take the slack of out of the bar, and break the inertia. Because the weight isn't going to lift itself. ?? . Tag a friend who needs to improve their deadlift and share the wealth! . #Prehab101

Ankle mobility is critical for deep, upright squats, but it’s also not easy to develop. Luckily the best way to improve your ankle range of motion is also the simplest – no accessories needed, just consistency. Do this stretch every day as many times as possible, especially before and during training.

??LEG DRIVE IN THE BENCH PRESS???? ? ???Friendly reminder: 4 days until the FREE Concrete Pheasyque eBook goes up to $50. Go grab a copy while it's free, before it's too late! Link is in BIO????? ? This is definitey an "advanced" technique detail of the bench press and it will make more sense later on, when the weight will get much heavier (in case you're still a beginner).?? ?? The leg drive in the bench press becomes more and more important as the weight gets heavier in order to keep the set up stable during the reps, but let's see why: ?? In the drawing I've oriented the arrows that symbolize the forces at play during the bench press: ?? ?? ??? As we set up, the weight of the barbell falls perpendiculary on our shoulders, which is countered by our upper back (with the arch created through thoracic extension). As the barbell comes down on our chest through a diagonally-ish bar path, it will tend to push our body down/forward on the pad, and this is where the leg drive comes most into play: ?? ?? Basically, what you want to do is to provide a counter force for the barbell by pushing "backwards" on the pad, through leg drive, in order to maintain a strong & stable set up to push from. ?? ?? ???On the other hand, if we don't use it, when the heavy barbell comes down, it'll tend to push our body down/forward – weakening the set up – and because there will be no leg drive, there'll also be less counter force for the barbell to help you push. ?? ?? The orientation of the arrows will show you what I mean with this. ?? ?? ?Like I said, this becomes more and more important and paradoxically "easier to do" as you start lifting heavy weights (1x bw and more). Hopefully it made sense ?? ????? ?? TAG somebody who needs to bench more weight! #pheasyque
