    Abdominal Training Theory - Jeff Cavaliere

    Very interesting theory that goes against everything I've been taught. Have always been to exhale upon contraction pushing air from diaphragm allowing muscles to contract stronger. Today, I did as Jeff said in his video, and the contractions were just as strong as if I had done the opposite...

    SLDL technique

    I'd like to give stiff-leg deads a go. Where would I find solid info on form for that lift? Being trained is just not an option where I am: internet tutorials and shit like that is what I've got to go on. So they've gotta be good! :)
