The Clam Bake Workout
Share
I got my butt kicked!
This past weekend was my family’s annual family clam bake to celebrate my parents’ birthdays. They fall within a couple days of each other, so right around that time we steam a bunch of little neck clams and drinks some assorted beverages and just enjoy each others company with a few other members of the extended family.
It’s a great time every year. It is one time where I just relax, drink some beers and devour some clams.
So as I was driving around to help get things set up Thursday and Friday, I thought it would be cool to throw it out there to my Facebook friends to have them challenge me for my Saturday morning workout and really work up my appetite so I could go for “PR” in clam eating.
It’s fun to get ideas from other trainees because they always end up pushing me to do something I would probably NEVER subject myself to.
So, Friday night I got on and asked any and all comers to post suggestions for my workout, including the movement, sets, and reps. I got some
Intense Upper Body Training – Upper Body Crush Lifts
Share
WARNING
This Training is Intense
This post will show you how to incorporate a new style of training that can be used as a finisher for your chest, back, arm day, or wherever else you’d like to place it in your training.
I’ve recently re-introduced myself to a pretty cool new training method that I call Upper Body Crushing.
I originally discovered this type of training when I was researching for and outlining my Nail Bending eBook. I was looking for ways simulate the movement pattern of crushing steel down to the minimum two inch distance between the handles, and learned about chest crushing a #4 gripper using upper body strength
and power.
What I found out at the time was I was already bending steel that was harder to crush down than the handles of the #4 gripper. How
Metabolic Core Training Exercise – Great for Conditioning and Power

Cool Metabolic Core Training Exercise
Great for Conditioning and Power
Check out this cool exercise from Martin Rooney. He demonstrates the proper execution of the movement with a powerful rowing motion with the arms and an explosive flexion at the hips. Pulling in the lats and upper back is key to any real core training movement.
The great thing about this exercise is that it is very metabolic. Because it incorporates the whole body and it is done at a high intensity, your conditioning and your metabolism get spiked.
It is a win-win movement.
Don’t be fooled though, it will mess you up. Trying to hit 3-4 sets at 20 reps will be very tough and getting your torso off the ground near the end is murder.
Sit and Row
As you can see, there is a powerful hip flexion and row. As soon as the end position is hit, another rep is engaged. You must also control the flow of your breathing and not hold your breath.
When can you hit this movement?
Kill it between your supplemental workouts after your primary sets, during a finisher after the workout or on a totally separate “extra” workout.
Try it and try to hit the 4×20 volume! Leave a comment with how you did!
Hope you enjoyed the drills, please “like” the video on YouTube.
