Welcome to my blog.
This blog is a reflection of my thoughts and experiences regarding strength training both in and out of the gym.
Like Joe (you must check out his strength training blog for quality articles as well: Joe Weir's Strength Blog), I like to keep my thoughts as concise and brief as possible.
Most of my blog updates will be training related. The ones which aren't are most likely going to be video updates of my favorite PowerLifters and Strongmen. If y'all have any requests for specific topics which y'all would like to me write about, please don't hesitate to ask!
I hope y'all enjoy your stay and thanks for reading!
Vincent Urbank 846 Deadlift
by Ashiem_Matthn 31 May 2011 16:18
Vincent Urbank Deadlifts 846 lbs RAW in his training. Vincent competes in the 308 lbs weight class and is ranked #5 on PowerliftingWatch lifter rankings.
He competed in his first powerlifting meet, the Orlando Barbell Florida State Championships, in February of 2010 where he had the number one ranked deadlift at 820lbs. He started with 760 and after getting the 820, missed at 840. Here we see him beating that 840 by six pounds.

Super Cup Of The Titans 2011
by Ashiem_Matthn 23 May 2011 05:06
Here are the results of one of the most impressive powerlifting competitions of 2011 so far. Evgeniy Yarymbash came in first place with a 1,195 kilo total, Andrey Malanichev came in second place with a 1,180 kilo total and Andrey Belyaev finished in third place with a 1,100 kilo total. Judging was not via Wilk's formula but some good old school "Whoever lifts the most comes in First Place" decision making!

There has been an increasing buzz regarding Single, Double and Triple (SDT) Progression and I think it’s important for trainees to understand these principles correctly.
I’m compiling a FAQ series for this type of progression and I will be updating it as and when new questions arise.

Pinch Grip Dumbbell Deadlifts
by Ashiem_Matthn 08 Jan 2011 11:43
The video below is self-explanatory so I'm going to list some small tips which make this exercise more efficient:
- Learn to apply grip tension while keeping your entire arm loose and un-flexed. The challenge is to be able to make a tight fist while keeping your upper arm and shoulder loose.
- Progress by adding weight. After a point you will need to branch off into something else (once it becomes too difficult to pinch the dumbbell).

Rope Pull-ups
by Ashiem_Matthn 08 Jan 2011 11:04
The video below is plenty helpful - I won't go putting it all into words. I am going to list some tips/suggestions:
- Remember this is a Grip Training Exercise.
- Progression is via adding weight to your body or adding reps or sets. Basically you have total load, volume and workload to play with.
- When you grip the towel remember to have it rotating in a cross counter fashion in terms of hand-to-hand. What I mean is, for example if you're rotating the towel in a counter clockwise direction with your left hand, you should be rotating/twisting the towel in a clockwise direction with your right hand.
