The phase I have been thinking about lately:
โThe meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.โ

Interesting coincidence from this shoot.
I was looking for a book to use in one of the shots and ended up finding Jordan Petersonโs โWe Who Wrestle with Godโ.
He also named one of his lecture tours after the book a couple of years ago. If you know me, you know how much I admire his work and I was lucky enough to see him speak while he was still in good health.
Funny how certain things find their way into the frame.

Training is only one part of the equation- proper nutrition, recovery, sleep, and consistency are what allow you to keep progressing.

There is a woman in Somalia
Scraping for pearls on the roadside
Thereโs a force stronger than nature
Keeps her will alive
This is how sheโs dying
Sheโs dying to survive
Donโt know what sheโs made of
I would like to be that brave

Quad focused workout: (& swipe for more commentary)
Leg extensions
Pro squat machine
Seated leg press quad focused deep
Bulgarian variation
Smith machine narrow stance squats for reps
You wanna grow as a tall athlete? You need very good ROM.
Pro squat machine. This was my second top set, I place my feet all the way forward and press knees forward because the last thing I want is the hip hinge movement. You can see that I donโt overarch Ever.
I setup seated leg press machine for max ROM - seat as close as possible to the platform & the backseat vertically. As you can see my spine alignment is good on the way down, no
โbutt winkโ
One of the things I find important in this movement- making sure you donโt let your hips misalign at the bottom. Often times I perform Bulgarians with a platform in front for deeper ROM but today kicked my ahh enough already lol
This is my finisher of the day, I go up to 20 reps nonstop here, for better quad engagement I always focus on pushing my knees forward on the way down this way my spine is in more upright position
