Post-Conditioning Abs & Pressing
-
After that uncomfortably fun session on the Precor, I quickly ran through my toes to bar, doing 100 total in 5 paired cluster sets of 10.
-
I’m trying to press with greater frequency till such a time as it’s safe to go a bit heavier. To that end, I began with incline dumbbell press, at a low 15 degree angle. I try to keep a 3:1 tempo with these, controlling the eccentric to a full stretch all the way down to the sides of my chest, before pressing up straight and not twisting the dumbbells as I do. I try to grip them as hard as possible as well, for increased neural drive and more stability at the shoulder.
-
It’s important to use these lighter working sets to practice all the good habits you’ll need to press heavier weights safely when the time comes.
-
Last, I did “Louie’s” Barbell Pushups wide with my pinkies at the rings to hit the outer pec with some more volume. I do these 1:1 tempo, not quite rapid-fire APFT style but with a deliberate but brief eccentric and an explosive concentric. I use the bottom of this Hoist Smith Machine for a slight decline pressing angle and because I can apply a lot of grip with the hand contact I get from the fat bar.
-
10 sets of pressing and that’s plenty for the second iteration this week. Frequency goes up, per session volume goes down but per week volume doubles. It’s a much safer method to sustainably increase total weekly volume of those lagging areas you have to steward a bit more meticulously on account of previous injuries and/or training mileage.
-
It’s dope to get all “Orky” and just toss weight around but on pressing days, I have to take a more measured, strategic approach.
-
I got 2 hearts, 3 lungs and I heal really fast but I also break pretty easy doing some of the things (combat, heavy lifting…) I find myself doing in life 😂
-
People are counting on me so I gotta take care of myself 🤷🏿♂️😁
