Here is some more footage of us training at John Alvino’s after the first day of the Fast Track event.

In this clip, we’ve got one-arm snatches, kettlebell flipping, and floor presses.

That was a lot of fun training in that gym, and we’ve got a lot more planned for this weekend!

On Thursday, I’ll be meeting up with Dan Cenidoza for a crazy Grip strength workout the night before the Juniata Clinic starts. You can be we’ll be tearing cards and bending nails along with other grip stuff for a couple of hours.

After the training, then we will eat. Dan follows the warrior diet and only eats dinners! He eats nothing all day long and then drops a huge bomb at the dinner table.

He starts everything with a bunch of vegetables, then a salad, then the main course which is usually steak, and then follows everything up with more vegetables. The dude eats like a freaking machine!

It’s going to be a great time this weekend. Speaking, meeting new strength coaches, catching up with old ones, training, and watching Dan eat.

All the best in your training,

You might be wondering to yourself why is Konstantinov, arguably one of the best deadlifters in the world, wearing his belt so high in this deadlift video.

Well, to the untrained eye, his belt is WAY TOO high and he is going to get injured.

BUT,

Upon further inspection, you can see that through the years, Konstantinov has:

- perfected his deadlift form

- isolated and created strength and rigidity in the segments (lower lumbar L2-S1) of his spine that REQUIRE stability

- built up strength, thickness and muscle hypertrophy in the musculature surrounding* the spine in the area that resists anterior SHEAR forces under load.

* Most notably the longissimus thoracis.

When the spine is neutral the pennation of the longissimus aligns at approximately 45 degress to resist shear force, ie. protect your back and provide the stiffness to deadlift or squat without injury.

So, Konstantinov is using the belt correctly for his body type (antrhopometry).  He is bracing his abdominals outward via a powerful isometric contraction and utilizing intra-abdominal pressure to push out against the belt, which is aligned across the musculature taking the load, ie. the thoracic portion of the longissimus (one of the spinal erectors).
