How to Turn Your Weakness into Your Strength...

Published: Wed, 07/18/12

What's Crackin' SWOLEdiers?!

So far this week I've discussed with you just how technical

it is and just how much attention you must pay in order to up

your 1 Rep Max on the bench press...

Trust me, there's only so far you can go with the meathead

mentality of "Progressive Overload"...

Eventually those initial gains stall. And when they do you're

likely left wondering what the hell happened...

That's where training with intelligence comes into play...

That's right...intelligence!!!

You might think to yourself 'how intelligent do you have to be

in order to lift more weight?', but the truth is, you have to not only

be that, you must also be observant and organized.

In order to figure out how to program for the supplemental and accessory

lifts to be done AFTER the bench, you must be able to observe what

your weak points are in the lift...

Think of it like a dam. If theirs a leak in the dam, you aren't going to

further reinforce the areas that are secure, you're going to patch up

the area that's compromised...

Same with the bench press...

If you want to increase the strength of this lift, you absolutely HAVE

to fix the problems that are preventing you from lifting more...

We call these the weak points...

And if you're not doing anything to address them, then don't expect to

be able to bust through the plateau's that are leaving you so frustrated...

The good news though is that it's a really EASY fix...

I'll talk about a few of those points later tonight, but for now I want to

leave you with this thought...

If I told you that you no longer had to bang your head against the wall

in frustration with your bench if you did just ONE easy thing, would

you do it, or continue to jackhammer your face???

Stay Strong and Stay SWOLE!!!

P.S. Stay tuned later today for a lesson in how to identify your weak

points head on so that you can start getting BIG numbers on your

1 Rep Max!!!
