Timing reps and powerlifting days
I just thought I'd share a technique I've been following with success for a while now. It's the two seconds up, four seconds down principle. So basically on the lowering phase of a benchpress for example, I get my training partner to count backwards from four and then on the lifting phase count to two. This way a good rhythm is set up, no cheating on form and an almost negative rep effect.
Anyone else familiar with this technique or similair?. It certainly drops the amount of weight you're lifting but does wonders for your form and core strength.
Another thing we've been experimenting with is a powerlifting day, one day a week. Normally we'll do a split week typical building program, but on Wednesdays we'll break it up with power lifting routine. Clean and press etc. Anyone else have similair or tips about doing this?
And since I'm new to the community I'm a personal trainer, mainly to women trying to lose weight. I'm 78kgs (165pounds) and aiming for 85kgs by the end of the year. That's also me in my icon.
