Barbell

Yeah, rings are standard.

Barbell, standard.

Box, standard.

Wall ball, standard.

Anybody have any experience with it? Did it get you fitter? What they almost ask is, what happened to your lifts? And I get it.

Barbell's cool.

But it's just funny to me.

It would be as confusing to me, since we're looking at everything, if you took something else that was supposed to be good at you know, multiple things and just highlighted one, which wasn't the goal of the program.

We had Hip Thrust in the program when he was at...

Maybe we should do Barbell, to be honest, after talking right now.

When he was going to Imperial over summer, they had a Hip Thrust machine there.

But now that he's at BBB again...

That's funny.

They're almost all barbell.

Barbell upright row, but I'm just saying upright row in general.

So that's this movement.

So if you don't know what an upright row is, you're standing straight up.

Let's see.

And let's see.

Barbell are free weights.

Strug family, Doug Larson here.

And this week on Barbell Strug, we're talking about speed and power training for masters athletes.

As you very well know, speed and power and with them kind of agility, coordination and other capabilities and characteristics that really depend on speed and power are some of the first traits to fall away naturally as you get older.

it's much easier for an older person to stay strong than it is for them to stay fast as an example which is why old man strength it's kind of always been a part of pop culture but old man speed is really almost comical to say everyone knows that's not true old people are not fast of course and therefore you need to be very intentional about keeping speed and power training in a safe way in your programming on a consistent basis as you get older to hang on to those capabilities for as long as possible And there are, of course, better and worse ways to go about it, which is what we talk about in the show.

So if you are getting older and or you train clients who are masters athletes and are in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond, this episode is for you.

Enjoy the show.

Welcome to Barbell Shrugged.

I'm here with Coach Travis Mapps and Dr. Mike Lane.

But I came just after the Stephon Johnson weight room incident where he was getting extra work.

Barbell fell on his neck, almost died.

And so then it was like, close off the weight room.

And in the old facility at USC, it's like one gate for the little mini indoor and the weight room.

Isn't that great? Yeah, there's like an ability curve where you get better at shit and then you get worse at shit.

So barbell bent rows from a deficit.

Barbell bent

rows

from a deficit.

a W is what it looks like.

Well, look, I will say I described this in the playtest as Lemon Wedge, Barbell, Seagull, TIE Fighter.

Okay, TIE Fighter is great.

TIE Fighter is great there, yeah.
