The Strict Press
Strict presses are a great way to increase general pressing strength and develop the shoulders, upper chest, and triceps; all of which are necessary for bench pressing, clean and presses, circus pressing, and more. Here’s how you can perform ‘The Strict Press’
1. Feet are now underneath the hips (directly)
2. Place the bar in the ‘front rack’ with elbows now only slight in front of the bar
3. Wrap fingers and thumbs around the bar (close grip) and hands slightly outside the shoulders
4. Keep a tight mid-section
5. Pull the head slightly back and press the bar upwards (straight line/frontal plane)
6. Once the bar passes the head, continue pressing and return the head to a neutral position
7. Lock out the elbows fully and elevate the shoulders (active shoulders), while maintaining a tight mid-section
8. At the top of the press, pull the bar over the heel of the foot and bring the head through
9. Return the bar to the ‘front rack’ by keeping the elbows slightly in front at all times

Rowing is a natural motion and most people pick it up quickly with instruction and/or spending time focusing on technique. Have someone watch you row, comparing your body positions to those shown in the video below. Don't pull too hard until you are comfortable with the technique fundamentals.
How it works: The drive is the work portion of the stroke; the recovery is the rest portion that prepares you for the next drive. The body movements of the recovery are essentially the reverse of the drive. Blend these movements into a smooth continuum to create the rowing stroke.
The Catch
* Arms are straight; head is neutral; shoulders are level and not hunched.
* Upper body is leaning forward from the hips with the shoulders
in front of the hips.
* Shins are vertical, or as close to vertical as is comfortable for you. Shins should not move beyond perpendicular.
* Heels may lift as needed.
The Drive
* Start the drive by pressing with your legs, and then swing the back through the vertical position before finally adding the arm pull.
* Hands move in a straight line to and from the flywheel.
* Shoulders remain low and relaxed.
The Finish
* Upper body is leaning back slightly, using good support from
the core muscles.
* Legs are extended and handle is held lightly below your ribs.
* Shoulders should be low with wrists and grip relaxed. Wrists should be flat.
The Recovery
* Extend your arms until they straighten before leaning from the hips towards the flywheel.
* Once your hands have cleared your knees, allow your knees to bend and gradually slide the seat forward on the monorail.
* For your next stroke, return to the catch position with shoulders relaxed and shins vertical.

As strength and conditioning coaches our main aim is the teach sound movement to any lifter with knowledge and control of each position, prioritise quality movement each rep and time, work on speed and load respectively after motor control is established.
This does NOT mean you can't increase weights prior to achieving technical perfection-we'd all still be lifting empty bars if it did. It means you need to prioritize and not rush the process in order to make the best possible progress to the greatest ultimate level. Rushing the process means strengthening poor positions, balance and movements, making it far more difficult to improve in the long term.
Don't skip over the boring pieces for the flashy ones those most fundamental elements are what allow the flashy ones to flash brighter.

There are a number of reasons why the Assault Bike is one of our favourite conditioning tools. The Assault Bike provides a total body, low impact workout and the harder you push, the higher the resistance felt. As a result, the Assault Bike has few equals in terms of sheer calories burned per minute.
Step 1
The first step to bike setup is adjusting the seat so that your leg is fully extended when your heel is resting on the pedal while it is at the lowest position. At this seat height, your leg will have the optimal bend once your mid-foot is centered on the pedal.
Step 2
Adjust setback so that your arm is just shy of full lock out at its furthest point while leaning slightly forward.
Step 3
Center your mid-foot on the pedal, keep your knees in line with your feet and sit tall with a slight lean forward.
To make breathing easier, glance down with your eyes to check the monitor rather than tilting your head down. Keep your core tight to avoid rotating your torso and rocking on the seat, which will cost you power production on the bike.
Pedal, push and pull as hard as you dare and get ready to feel the burn!

If a cheat meal means simply taking a day off from your strict regimen because it allows for more consistency over time, then we have no issues with that. However, if you massively restrict yourself all week to have a blow-out day with thousands upon thousands of calories, not only is this keeping you from your goals but it also signals/leads to a deeper problem.
Internet is filled with information about the various definition of a cheat meal, concerning different sources of studies which makes it more complicated than it is. Here are a few risks for your next CHEAT MEAL.
WHAT ARE SOME RISKS OF CHEAT MEALS?
1) From a mental aspect, the word "cheat" has a negative connotation. What can start as a reward or celebration-based meal can often spiral into feelings of guilt and shame. If this feels like you, then cheat meals may be doing more harm than good.
2) From a purely aesthetics-based point of view, a single day of out-of-control eating can absolutely crush the calorie deficit that you worked so hard to create the other six days of the week. This is why it is important to apply some control or balance to these untracked days.
Metabolically: If you can control your cheat meals, then there are a few studies indicating that this CAN have a beneficial impact on your metabolism. The most famous of these studies, the MATADOR study showed that eating too calorie maintenance (not excess) prevents a
a process called adaptive thermogenesis from occurring.
