Here I’m making two 1 rep max attempts for bench press, one with 285 Ibs and another with 295 Ibs.
These attempts were ONE WEEK apart while being in a CALORIE DEFICIT for 12 weeks AND losing 14 POUNDS❗️
As you can see, 285 Ibs was an absolute grind…
Meanwhile, 295 Ibs (+10 Ibs heavier) was an even smoother ride!
How was I able perform BETTER, with heavier weight, all while being in a calorie deficit for fat burning? 🤔
The answer is the most important foundational Warrior skill...
TECHNIQUE! 🔑
In my attempt at 285 Ibs, there was a number of technical mistakes that I made like:
❌ Improper hand placement on the bar
❌ Unracking the bar too fast without establishing position
❌ Not controlling the eccentric portion of the lift
❌ Flaring elbows out and overactivating anterior delts
❌ Elevating my butt off of the bench
After becoming better aware of these areas in my technique, I was able to make the necessary adjustments at my next session of my Lvl. 4 ORC BLAZER program…
The result after optimzing technique is not only hitting 285 Ibs with ease, but also attempting 295 Ibs and hitting it even better than the week prior with lighter weight! ✅
Master your technique, and you will unlock your true strength & power potential ⚡️
