Tempo is often one of the most forgotten aspects of training, yet it’s one of the best ways to maximize each part of the rep. And all you need to do is slow down or speed up a portion of the rep. Simple as that.
There have been many progressions by awesome professionals that have performed the Dead Bug exercise with the band pressed (isometric hold), which is great for anti-rotation. Rotary stability is the ability to control rotational forces during activities like throwing, swinging, striking, kicking, and sprinting. Rotary stability is needed to resist rotation through the torso during arm and leg movements, which is represented here. This variation is a great exercise with the band… Read More
1 Arm Sled Row w/Bottoms-Up Hold The row and its many variations are great for the upper body. This full body movement is derived primarily from the lower body, upward concentrically pulling towards the body.

The general progression of the sled row encourages you to keep your shoulders square, yet staying out of rotation by holding the KB… Read More

This exercise is a great way to make a traditional Plank way more challenging. You have to hold the plank position with your feet elevated in the rings, and move the stack of plates from one side to the other. There’s a great anti-extension and anti-rotation training component here, which are two critical skills needed by athletes to keep a strong and stable core. Do this one only if you can move… Read More
Very few lifters work on their conditioning. It’s quickly becoming an overlooked aspect of training. After all, what we do is called strength and conditioning. But there seems to be a love-hate relationship in which conditioning is viewed as second fiddle to lifting weights and getting stronger.
