No more punk-ass politicians in office!

Asked to name the biggest problem with the government today, many cite Congress, politics, or a sense of corruption or undue outside influence. At the same time, a large majority of the public views elected officials as out of touch, self-interested, dishonest, and selfish.

This may be a response to an article written by Mike Israetel , which argued that back work for the bench press was ineffective. There’s a few great ideas in this video, so they are broken down below. “I WILL ARGUE THAT YOU CAN IMPROVE YOUR BENCH WITHOUT BENCH PRESSING HEAVY AND WORKING THE PRESSING MUSCLES, SOLELY BY DEVELOPING THE LATS” At ( 5:47 ) Chris explains how the lats elongate on the barbell descent; but only if the body is setup correctly and in a slight arch.

Powerlifting Technique: Deadlift Science

Powerlifting Technique VI: Deadlift Setup Science Of the three powerlifts, the conventional version of the deadlift is by far the simplest both in terms of set-up and execution. Despite this fact, among all three lifts, the deadlift is the lift most commonly misperformed by powerlifters all across the globe. As such, our deadlift analysis, unlike the other lifts, is going to take three phases. First, we need to re-establish the scientific principles that govern proper powerlifting technique specifically as they relate to the deadlift. Second, we’ll analyze deadlift form and derive a model that optimizes the movement for powerlifting. Lastly, we’ll discuss how to actually perform the deadlift correctly. The following article will attempt to establish three very interrelated things: a deadlift should begin with high hips, the front of the shoulders slightly in front of the bar (scapulas directly over the bar), and the bar must be pulled directly over the middle of the foot in a straight ...
