Or doing extremely heavy weights like the dudes in the world's strongest man competitions.
He’s on a push/pull/legs/rest split. He does bench, military press, flies, shoulder flies, and tricep extensions on push. Squats, hex bar jumps, Bulgarian split squats, and Russian leg curls* for legs. Pull consists of cleans, pull ups and weighted pull ups, seated cable rows, shrugs, and preacher curls. Works in deadlift sometimes. Off day he works abs and neck. His core is strong.
Agree, and even as he gets near max, he should still work to not use the belt. PR in small increments and quit trying if form starts to drop off. Sounds like he has a good trainer, so he should be fine without a belt. Sometimes they're more mental than physical.
Front squats are a great supplement for his cleans and also help get rid of quad dominance. The lunges are for core stability. I’d do each exercise at least once a week.
Well I don’t know about that as his trainer is him and me. We put this split together based on input from HROT actually, along with some other internet resources.
Butt goes back. Stay on your heels. On the way up you have to thrust your hips more forward to get them under the weight. If they have trouble getting heels on ground, have them put the balls of their feet on 2 and a half’s. Watch how much it corrects them and how harder it becomes if they’ve been on their toes the whole time.
This. I was lucky to have a close family friend who was an elite powerlifter teach me proper technique. While I was still working out I only did three lifts. Incline bench, squats and deadlifts. He also got me into Yoga for flexibility and Tai Chi for balance.
Nailed it. Barbbell curls use a ton of back movement, so you'll need the belt for support.
The leg curl exercise he does involves him being on his knees with me holding/pushing down on his ankles. He then has a controlled fall to the floor to a push up position, and then he curls himself back upright using as little of a push off from the floor as possible. I used the wrong name because I am not sure what those are called. After a google I believe the are called Russian leg curls or falling leg curls
Oh i see now. There are attachments that fix to you ankle/calf where you lean forward on a rack and hamstring curl backward toward the ceiling but they just meant using bad form for biceps.
If you're going to hashtag his handle at least respect his memory by spelling it correctly.
I think the preferred exercise aid for that issue would be a toilet if your bowels feel irritated.
