✍️ BACK DAY 101 We always say around here that ✍️ BACK DAY 101
We always say around here that a strong back is the foundation for strong lifts. And with long histories in both strength and hypertrophy training, for themselves, clients and athletes, @danpetkovsekpl and @rodrigosilverback are taking you through their quintessential back movements, with some pointers and cues along the way.

For powerlifters, training the main movements is fun, but one of the main things that will keep you pushing through plateaus, and also mitigating injury risk is by being very intentional and methodical about your accessory work, which includes your hypertrophy work. For bodybuilders, it’s important to have a mix of lifting heavy, but never neglecting those smaller muscle groups. A well trained back will carry a good physique just as much as anything else.

Let us know in the comments what other muscle groups, or movements you want to see us cover in the next video 💪

HOW AND WHY TO USE THE BELT SQUAT ‼️ This is o HOW AND WHY TO USE THE BELT SQUAT ‼️
This is one of the machines we get asked the most about here at the gym. It looks intimidating and complicated, and deters a lot of people for those reasons, but there’s a lot of benefits to using the belt squat, and in this video @danpetkovsekpl will walk you through how to set up, and properly execute it.

This machine is a staple in the Westside method. Its unique construction is all dedicated to building leg strength and hypertrophy with ZERO spinal load. That means you can load up as much weight as you want for your legs, without taxing your back at all. If you have an upper body injury, or if your upper body is just fatigued from your training earlier in the week, you can put all the load on your legs, get a great pump, and not have to worry about your back or shoulders at all.

Powerlifters, weightlifters, bodybuilders - any kind of athlete can benefit from incorporating some accessory work on the belt squat into their training.

As always, if you have questions, or want a staff member to show you how to use this, or any of the unique machines in the gym, don’t hesitate to ask.

Stay safe and train hard 💪
