A deload active rest day. When for a 8km hike and had to stop to cool off the puppies. The clean air, amazing sun and mountain scenery makes for a great place to lower stress and cortisol. All the back and shoulder work looks like it is paying off 😂😝#zonesmellingsalts #fitnesswest #okanaganstrong #okanaganlife #kalamaka #railtrail #invictuspowerlifting #recovery #deload #sundayfunday (at Coldstream Valley overlooking Kalamalka Lake) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1UnULLhSwY/?igshid=13ob204ni14z4

Shirtless bench shirt training. Keeping my elbows out and concentrating on a elbow tuck at the bottom(at my chest) to maximize the shirt and increase my bar control. This weight weight movement really hits the lats and rhomboids when you slow it down and focus on the movement and not the weight. #sportspecific #benchpresscoaching #coaching #powerlifting #ontariopowerlifting #bcpowerlifting #fitnesswest #fitnesswestgym #bigbenchas #equippedpowerlifting #equippedbruisedtired https://www.instagram.com/p/B1H0CCQh5St/?igshid=i5ksza5pj1j0

Watched Netflix Westside vs the World. So I hit a 435lb for a triple, the old Titan Ram still has a little in her. The summer training is going well. Can’t wait to put a shirt on and test the gains over the summer. #benchpress #benchpresscoaching #ontariopowerlifting #ontariofit #bcpowerlifting #cpupowerlifting #canadianpowerlifting #westsidebarbell #fitnesswest #fitnesswestgym #okanaganstrong #titansupportsystems #titanram #powerliftingcoach https://www.instagram.com/p/B1APJxshxOT/?igshid=rjisux44ilc2

After hitting the shoulders and tris hard today a float on Okanagan Lake is a great way to recover. Wearing the old school Eston Ramblers ball cap! #estonramblers #okanaganlife #okanaganlake #okanaganstrong #daddydaughter #tan #gingerhair #dontmakethisgingersnap (at Okanagan Landing, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0mleOXhfmp/?igshid=lfa5ebenlbap

The daily grind alway includes mobility and stretching. This weeks variation I added a band to assist in increasing the the ROM. Building a bigger bench inch by inch. #smallvictories #crossfit #thoracicmobility #threadtheneedle #powerliftingcoach #powerliftingyoga #yoga #mobility #bencharch #ontariomuscle #bcpa #okanaganstrong #okanaganlife #ontariopowerlifting #canadianpowerlifting #zonesmellingsalts #titancanada #titansupportsystems https://www.instagram.com/p/B0TeGUOBhKt/?igshid=j1hnu3qdbrxf

@chrisabeardsley ・・・ Creating mental fatigue through lengthy and difficult cognitive tasks impairs performance during exercise, apparently by increasing the perception of effort. Since the sensation of effort probably results from the corollary discharge, this implies that mental fatigue leads to an increase in the amount of neural drive required to perform a movement. This could occur due to supraspinal inhibition or due to a reduction in the efficiency of the movement, perhaps through impaired coordination. -------------------- #sandcresearch #strengthandconditioning #strengthtraining #strength #sportsscience #powerliftingcoach #exercisescience #research #sciencetopractice #performance #powerlifting #cns #fatigue #centralnervoussystemfatigue #peripheralfatigue #ontariomuscle #mentaleffort #mentalfatigue #perceptionofeffort #rpe https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Q3CMWh5Tx/?igshid=zrqop63viff8

I was told that farmstrong is the new fad to being “strong” so I thought I would give it a try. #farmstrong #cider #powerlifting #oldmanstrength #vacationstrong https://www.instagram.com/p/B0NCA-chqLs/?igshid=1lu2lxokamqbk

The next progression is a double band and really tucking the elbows at the bottom. When the shirt tightens up, you need a couple tools to get the bar to touch. Tucking the elbows is just one of the tools. But when you have 6-700 on the bar, you better have everything around your shoulders strong to control the shirt, the bar and the weight!!!

Shirt work without a shirt. Working on bar control and elbow pathway. This is the progression with a band added. It is harder than it looks. Keeping your back tight and the tight grip to keep the bar stable. #ontariomuscle #ontariostrong #ontariopowerlifting #equippedbruisedtired #equippedpowerlifting #benchpress #benchpresscoaching #bigbenchas #titancanada #titansupportsystems #westsidebarbell #fitnesswest #fitnesswestgym #serioussteelfitness #zonesmellingsalts https://www.instagram.com/p/B0G_UbNBYwD/?igshid=yd2yxa177v1v

A little heavier today with the Titan Ram! 5 x 2 with a hit of ZONE to make sure I get through every set. RPE 8.5. Finished up with heavy spider rows, bent over rows and a ton of tris. #benchpresscoaching #benchpress #ontariomuscle #ontariostrong #ontariopowerlifting #canadianpowerlifting #titancanada #titansupportsystems #zonesmellingsalts #serioussteelfitness #fitnesswest #fitnesswestgym #bcpa https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz8uPtZBM6x/?igshid=1myer42mn5y15

Worken the mobility!!! Small victories daily!!! And a big arch! #thoracicmobility #bigarch #powerlifting #powerliftingyoga #benchpresscoaching #ontariomuscle #ontariostrong #ontariopowerlifting #bigbenchas #titancanada #titansupportsystems https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz4I9iTh5CY/?igshid=aiigd5nxzp7f

My daily mobs! Thread the needle today. My theory of increasing thoracic mobility to a bigger arch is yet to be proven. But will take my progress measurement at the end of August to see if the theory has any validity. #thoracicmobility #threadtheneedle #yoga #powerliftingcoach #powerliftingyoga #ontariomuscle #ontariostrong #ontariopowerlifting #bcpa #fitnesswest #fitnesswestgym https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz3jrwAhvPu/?igshid=1lu5n8rav1dfr
