Week in Review on gillaspytraining.com:
70 Pound Dumbbell Bench Press
Lake said he was ready to get the 70’s out and I didn’t argue. His previous set with 65’s were handled really well. This was the most he’s ever pressed.
Lake on a Different Part of the Continuum
This time Lake is working at the absolute speed end of the absolute strength to absolute speed continuum.
Highest Box Physically Possible? Not so Fast
In no way am I saying we should always use the lowest box possible, but some of the wild box jumps you see are usually for more views than they are necessary. Add in the increased risk of injury/accident and the fact there’s really no added benefit, might as well just use the highest box possible that you can land well with.
Biasing More Single Leg
Definitely not true single leg work and these definitely shouldn’t replace it, but a good way to load heavier on some closer to single leg type movements. These asymmetrical stances can go a long way to helping us outside of the gym in life and sport. We spend a ton of our movement lives in single leg and asymmetrical/transitional stances, so biasing more more of these types of stances when we can probably isn’t a bad idea.
