OK, just arrived in Pena Penn Cambodia, some quick thoughts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ef\u00bf\u00bcFirst, Phnom Penh is paradise. Probably my new favorite city on the planet! \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I am currently experimenting with a new type of backpack, one which is smaller more minimalistic, simpler, with only a chest rep, no hip or waist strap. A lovely Mystery Ranch bag that my friend Josh White gave me while in Korea. Comparing it to my Thinktank Backpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So in terms of the design, the mystery ranch is like 1000 pounds cooler, better materials craftsmanship, design is more innovative. But at the end of the day, because it lacked a waste stress, or hip strap, like the tightening hip belt around your waist\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 The weight distribution is like 80% off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also in that unrelated note, I had this brand innovative idea, essentially doing 1005 pound rack wall, while taking the weightlifting dip belt, and wrapping the chain around the center of the barbell, allowing me to more effectively leverage my weight to lift the weight?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m starting to think\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 maybe like 90% of our weight leverage comes from our hips? \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, when I was watching the history channel miniseries on the worlds strongest man, an interesting observation is that even with the world\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s strongest men, easiest way to lift 2000 pounds is actually with a hip thrust? I think one of the guys was able to successfully atlas lift 2,000 pounds as well,,, but when you lift with your hips\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Is it much easier. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bcAnd safer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Assuming that our goal is to push the highest numbers, anything that you could do with a hip or hip thrust or lifting a weight with your hips\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re always going to be able to lift more weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even Titan fitness came out with this interesting new hip rust machine contraption, \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bcI think you could rack up to 1300 pounds? \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And what is super interesting is after doing a one max lift of 1005 pounds, I felt it a lot in my triceps, traps and back, and also thighs? Even two or three days after doing the lift, I feel my muscles getting bigger and stronger, my thighs are enormous and amazing, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m still a bit sore? Which means it works!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
