I really wish the jackasses in the background would shut up. You notice Kennelly isn't bullshitting with the rest of them, and that's why he's so damn successful.

Whats the song at 5:00?

Nothing wrong with bullshitting...outside the weight room. That's why I got a rack, bar, plates, and flooring for my garage. No distractions, just the task at hand.

@ChurchOfIron i agree with you.

My training is what it is because of who I have met with and spoken to. The most successful powerlifters aren't like NFL football players. They're normal people that you can reach anywhere. I have had phone consultations with both lOuie Simmons and the bench monster, Ryan Kennelly. between the two of them, I have evolved my trainign so that I am extremely fit and able to use my 100% max power almost on command with a short warm-up. Very effective training tips is what they gave me.

i dont actually talk to many people about their training. at least not on this website. i happened to ask you a question on another video and i just went with it. i think you're training is interesting. not what i was expecting at all.

I train 7 days a week actually and somedays do up to 3 workouts a day. For lower body, I hit heavy back squats for mutliple sets of 4-6 reps as heavy as I go. I also do a lot of quad and ham isolation work and hit abs 4-5X a week. After every squat work, I either do heavy rack pulls (every 4-8 weeks or so) and the rest of the weeks, I do dynamic pulls for explosive power. Why the sudden interest in my training now?

[Marlboro1337]

do you train 4 days a week? and whtat do you do for lower body?
