Strength Tips & Training

 

600# squat To prevent pitching forward in the squat, fight to stay upright. Your upper body should be trying to go up the entire #squat. Whether you are sitting down or standing back up, your upper body is constantly fighting to drive up. Whether you squat with a very upright torso or a forward lean, you should try to remain tall during the lift. Drive your #traps, shoulders, and chin into the bar. Get tight to the bar and create tension. Don’t just let the bar sit on your back and pull you forward. #powerlifting #squats #rpspowerlifting

585 #Deadlift tip Whether it’s your first warm up or top set, #focus on dialing in your setup and being explosive. Be just as attentive on your lighter sets as your heavy ones. Every set and rep is a chance to practice your setup and your speed. Every time you do this you’re ingraining good #habits. Do this often enough and it will be second nature. When #deadlifting heavy weight you want to think about as few things as possible. Everything should be automatic so the only thing you focus on is being as #explosive as possible. #powerlifting #deadlifts #powerlifter #strongman #strength #titanbarbell
