Last week we lost Dr. Fred Hatfield, also known as Dr. Squat. First man at the age of 45, he set a squat world record by lifting 1014 pounds in the 100 kg weight class, the first person to squat more than 1000lbs. You may recognise the hands supported safety bar squat I sometimes use […]

Back in late 2015 I ran Greg Nuckols Bulgarian method for a 12 weeks cycle in order to see if I could boost my front squat from 160kg to 180kg. I made a video around the week 8 mark to log how I was getting on. The Bulgarian method is know for both its simplicity […]
Week 3 Day 3 Front squat maximum Photo credit : Brad Wendes Quick post! I very rarely post about my own training, as for some I feel it can be a vanity exercise. But I’ve been getting a few questions about what Im currently doing which has peoples interest piqued its the Bulgarian method. Those […]

Pervasive thinking in fitness has damaged the reputation of partial squats, I have heard strength coaches, athletes and personal trainers screech about “ass to grass” verbatim.

Do not accept a friendly arm wrestle from this man Bench potentiation clusters I get to work with a wide array of athletes but every now and again some one from a niche sport comes in to work with me. I have been experimenting with potentiation bench clusters (below) various upper body french contrast and […]
So last week I peaked “Death Ground” Squat finishing with 210kg chain back squat, below is the result. This was rep 7 of 10. If you read about the method here http://www.powering-through.com/2014/02/death-ground-squats.html you’ll know its not for the faint hearted. After doing 6 weeks of triphasic lifting followed by 4 weeks of potentiation work 80-55% […]
