AbMat

Got my @naturalstrongman qualifiers submitted to hopefully secure my spot in Scotland in August. I’m excited to shift focus back to building and working on weaknesses again! Feels good to finally have the back mostly rehabbed thanks to @valleyspineandsport 🙌 Low back is finally in homeostasis so now we get to work on the next puzzle piece: fixing my shoulder mobility enough to actually get comfortable under a squat bar again 😂 Now it’s time to build, stay healthy, and see what we can put together over the next few months. Also, if you’re looking to sign up for Walleye Weekend’s Strongest, we’re about a month out! We’ve been finalizing sponsors & will have a highlight post coming out in the next week or so! It’ll be a great time! June 13th in Fond du Lac! Coach- @brandon.larkin.strongman Gym- @larkinstrengthconcepts

Zercher Squat death march. I don’t have the space and nor can I justify 4000 dollars for a veritmax. Get a good trusty vest @spudincstraps with some @surplusstrength vech pins and add some bands. Can’t forget @abmat pad for making something suck at least comfortable. #strongman #fitness #gym

Another day down. Squeezing in some events. If you haven’t yet, get you a set of crash cushions from @abmat Log press and my lungs are starting to click. Feeling pretty good this prep. •10 EMOM Log OHP • Husafell bag runs Life’s good. #bourbon #strongman #whiskey #powerlifting

It’s been a busy week here at the gym. 54 inch box jump isn’t an easy task. Especially for a kid who is only a sophomore. @abmat boxes for the win every time.

The most bougie curl setup you’ll see today, and it actually makes sense. Incline curls are elite for hitting the bicep in the stretched position, and this setup makes them even better. Full range, no interference, fully adjustable. Liftlab approved. @exponentedge infinity arm @abmat ab bench pad

This thing is awesome! Just bought another one. Get one @roguefitness or @abmat

Break down and context of the standing leg extension👇 Context: 🔹 Leg extensions target the quads, however, the rectus femoris crosses the hip AND the knee joint, so it also assists in hip flexion. If the intention is to train this tissue, the hip and the knee must be trained with the respective function. Furthermore, when training the rec fem at the knee joint, positioning the hip in extension with amplify the stimulus to it.

Introducing Plate Loaders, a product designed to help you build muscle, get stronger, improve control, and reduce injury risk. The FIRST of many @cardilloweightbelts 40th ANNIVERSARY RELEASES! ‼️ THE FIRST 25 ORDERS GET A PAIR OF CARDILLO WRIST WRAPS AND A KEYCHAN ‼️ Here’s how they work: Plate Loaders add a small amount of controlled movement to the bar as you lift. This movement forces your body to stabilize the load, activating more muscle and improving your control. As a result, you build strength that that actually carries over into real-world applications outside the gym. Build More Muscle The shifting load forces more muscle to fire on every rep, so you get more growth and stimulus without needing to add more weight to the bar. Improve Motor Control The moving load trains you to stay tight, balanced, and in control, so your lifts feel stronger, smoother, and more efficient over time. Strengthen Your Grip During farmer’s carries, the knurled handle spins under load, forcing your grip, core, and stabilizers to stay engaged every step. DISCLAIMER ** Works best using SHORTY MONSTER BANDS (12” LONG BAND) @roguefitness

Turn your @beyondpowerofficial voltra or cable stack into a ab crunch machine with the @abmat ab bench pad. Abs should be trained with weights and progressive overload. And that’s where a set up like is this is really useful- you can scale it to any strength level and it removes the hip flexors, low back, and a lot of the momentum that typically comes with weighted sit ups. Bringing in an intense ab contraction that I’m starting to prefer over weighted sit-ups🔥 Voltra mount by @force6fitness - coming soon!

Loaded ankle inversion - closed chain I have been really liking how the combo of the @spacermobility origo board & flex spacers facilitates lateral and medial ankle work… This supported set up for loading ankle inversion is one I have been continuously coming back to because of how I can “feel” the tissues I am trying to adapt and develop. This doesn’t necessarily that closed chain is “better”, however it definitely provided a different stimulus neurologically and mechanically. I am specifically removing the balance component to turn this into a tissue specific input where I can put as much force through the target tissue as possible. I place my knee on the @abmat roobox and wrap the @pjfperformance grey band around the box so I can stay centered and minimize adjustments between legs.
