In this episode Sal, Adam & Justin cover six steps to improving your strength in the big lifts.
One of the single most effective things you can do to change the appearance of your body is to simply get stronger at the bench press, the squat, and the deadlift. (1:28)
There are VERY few exercises that have such broad carry-over to other exercises than the Big 3. (5:21)
The biggest limiting factor when it comes to developing a nice physique and body. (10:39)
The importance of having your muscles work in sync. (12:41)
Six Ways to Improve Your Squat, Bench, and Deadlift Strength.
#1 - Practice each movement often. (19:40)
#2 - Focus on the movement NOT on muscles. (23:42)
#3 - Prime properly to summon max CNS power. (27:42)
#4 - Don’t neglect mobility. Instability causes plateaus and injury. (37:45)
#5 - Include hypertrophy work. (41:28)
#6 - Follow good programming. (43:38)
