The cues in the video are exactly what I say to myself when lifting.
Keep my shoulders tight together on the bench
Pull my hips up towards my shoulders and create as much “arch” as I can. (the closer to the bar the better your leverages are)
Drive my feet or toes into the ground. (leg drive helps a ton, also aids in stability during heavy presses)
500lb sandbag for 50 feet. This was a fun one, it took some fingers with it.
This was a new one for me. Learned a lot about leverages with this one. Excited to see this one again next year in competitions.
300lb axle, unfortunately I zeroed this event. Not my best but gives me lots to work on for next time.
This one has bands for added tension but the concept of moving the bar is the same.
Working on building mobility in the hips while stressing the back, core and shoulders.
This movement focuses on core stability, upper back strength and shoulder mobility and power.
This is a great warm up for squats or for a lower intensity squat session.
Warm up for most any movement. Helping develop some good hip mobility and strength.
The focus of this movement is to essentially do a one leg squat.
Make sure the block is high enough to put your knee above your hip crease, you can start with a smaller bench or block and work your way up.
The purpose of this is to move your femur in your hip through a full range of motion.
Great one for hip mobility issues and learning to control your body in the squat movement.
This is a more advanced hip mobility movement. Great for warm ups before anything heavy or explosive.
