Reverse Grip Kettlebell Floor Press - 8x8

TRX Pelican Curls - 8x8

“The benefits of the reverse grip benefits are vast.  It’s a great exercise for anyone looking to develop a full chest and bigger arms.  The RGBP is not just an upper chest exercise, but an exercise that will develop the upper and lower pecs, triceps and biceps too!

The Reverse Grip Bench Press……


  1. Is a great upper chest exercise.
  2. Is a great lower chest exercise.
  3. Works the Biceps.
  4. Works the Triceps.
  5. Works the shoulders.
  6. Is a great exercise to try if you suffer from shoulder pain.
  7. Offers variations for people with wrist issues.


If you are looking for the one upper body exercise to develop bigger chest and arms, give the reverse grip bench press a try.  I believe you will be enjoy the exercise and find the contraction, pump, and mind muscle connection you are looking for.” - PumpSomeIron.Com

The Kettlebell Crush Curl - “This exercise will not only work your biceps but also your chest and forearm muscles. You don’t realize how much you use your chest muscles to “crush” until you try to hold heavy kettle bell in between the palms of the hands. 


To perform the kettlebell crush curl, you simply grasp the kettlebell on each side with a palms-facing grip. Squeeze as hard as you can This will serve to keep the kettlebell from falling to the ground.


Starting at the bottom position, your elbows will be fully extended and the kettlebell should be in front of the thigh area. Keep your back straight throughout this exercise. While squeezing the kettlebell, slowly curl the kettlebell up. Pause at the top and lower the kettlebell in a controlled manner, all the while "crushing" the kettlebell. It’s a lot harder than it looks! - Source: http://EzineArticles.com/1011029

Skier Swings & Farmers Walks...

Skier Swings - 15 sets of 10 @ 35lbs then,

800M Farmers Walk @ 35lbs each. 

—————————————————————

Did some Skier Swings today. I liked them better than traditional Double Swings. I feel like you can heavier and need to use your upper back and rear delts to stabilize yourself at the top of the movement. All while working your hamstrings! 

—————————————————————-

“The weights move faster to achieve movement, which helps develop tremendous hip, glute, and hamstring strength.”


The move also homes in on the upper body. Since each arm maintains a weight—rather than controlling the same one—muscles in the shoulders, chest, and upper back contend with momentum on both sides, forcing them to make small adjustments to stay in sync”. - Men’s Journal

“Chest to wall HSPUs more properly mimics the way your body will move in a freestanding handstand pushup. When doing it back-to-wall, you're encouraging high back arch and also allowing for wide elbows - something you cannot do in a freestanding HSPU if you want to maintain balance”. - Unknown

* “This shoulder complex is going to cause the lactic acid to flow like a river. Just what the delts need for hypertrophy. The shoulders need plenty of time under tension (TUT) to grow. That means longer sets with lighter weights. The main thing to focus on is stimulating as much lactate build-up in the target muscle as possible. You need to have a high pain tolerance. Lactate accumulation through muscular work is maximized when the muscle is under tension for 45-70 seconds. This complex will take care of that”. - T Nation

Reverse-Grip Smith Press - 

145-160-175-135*


* This reverse-grip press hits the lateral and medial head of the triceps – the mid-range resistance curve. With reverse-grip benching you may find holding the bar problematic at times. You'll end up concentrating too much on just moving the weight – trying to stabilizing rather than loading the triceps. The solution? The smith machine. Really. Give the smith a go and you won't have to worry about stabilizing, which is a good thing for this application. You'll be able to tuck the elbows in hard and load the hell out of your triceps, especially on the eccentric (lowering) portion of the movement.


Coaching Points

  1. Don't bring the bar all the way down to your chest. Lower it to a few inches above to make sure the triceps are under tremendous tension the entire time.
