Hope you’re having a great weekend!
I’m enjoying the great weather we’re having here in Boston.
There was a ton of great fitness info this week. Let’s get caught up.
Strength Tips and Training Videos
This was one of my top sets this week on bench, 325 X 8. Felt pretty good.
I’m going to be focusing on bench a little more for the next coming weeks due to my hamstring. I injured it doing some sprints, so I’m going to give it a little time to heal up before getting back to some squats and deadlifts.
For now, benching will be my focus.
I got a lot of questions about wearing flip flops in this video and it reminded me about all questions I get regarding training gear and footwear.
The truth is, that stuff doesn’t matter that much.
Sure, it has its place, but your equipment won’t make you strong.
Training hard, training smart, and staying consistent will.
Invest your extra time into learning more about technique, programming, diet, and recovery.
