200th post alert This had to be a special moment, lifetime overhead push press PR - 85 kgs One of the better thing about keeping weight lifted as goal is you cannot reach there by cutting corners, you have to put in the work day in and day out. This is comparable to an actual/ non vanity metric like bottom line for a business. Learning: Do not chase vanity metrics like weight lost, calories burnt etc. Set some solid strength/endurance goals for yourself and go after them. #overheadpress #pushpress #lifetimepr #corelifts #longpost (at Bangalore, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFaLrOdAdoG/?igshid=bwniccmnwzq4

High bar squats - 120*3 Focusing on following pointers thanks to @power_beard and @jailhousestrong : 1. Better hip drive and faster ascent 2. Equal power/ better balance from both legs, as of now my right is dominant due to injuries on left in the past 3. Practising deep breathing and bracing for all sets #squats #highbarsquat #homeworkout #breatheandbrace #workontechnique #allrepsaregoodreps (at Bangalore, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFWCK7Ngws4/?igshid=1mj96odyv16am

Push press : I have moved from bench press to push press for the past few weeks, today's workout - 65 kgs * 4 a couple of tips from my learnings so far : 1. Keep the elbows, wrists, and shoulders in one line to build a solid base. 2. Keep your butt tight to transfer maximum power from the lower body to the upper body. 3. Practice exploding; there is a small difference between push press and push jerk. Push jerk helps in building explosive strength however some that can be incorporated in push press as well The goal is to move more weight as compared to the regular overhead press. My target is to hit 100 kgs for a single in 2020 #biomechanics #pushpress #overheadpress #pressingstrength #presslikeapro #shoulderworkout #tricepsworkout #upperbodyworkout #upperbackworkout #homeworkouts #staysafe (at Bangalore, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEgCSCcAq2A/?igshid=ihrbwv1dy1pn

First experience with @titanpower81 wraps. Sincere thanks to @anupam_adarsh_mishra and @varadpatil for all the help with wrapping. Doing wrapped squats is like opening an entirely new can of worms, will take some time to get used to it. The captured set is possibly the better of all, in others I was doing good mornings rather than squats. The purpose is to keep learning and keep getting better.

A candid moment with the legends of powerlifting (@jailhousestrong @power_beard @varadpatil) at the Movement gym sporting the new @therelentlessstrength tshirt with @monsterenergy at the backdrop. With so much knowledge and power around, you don't have any option but to up your game, learn faster and become better. Thanks @therelentlessstrength team for conducting the seminar with @jailhousestrong , it is definitely one of the best things I have done this year. #powerliftingtraining #monsterenergy #relentlessstrength #powerbeard #jailhousestrong #seminarinbangalore (at The Movement Fitness Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5qTTVMlFKj/?igshid=gv0ifutcoav0

Training update, session - 7 ( did not update last session, as vids were not clear) 1. Squats 2. Speed squats ( need some more work to get this right) 3. Deficit Deadlifts Got an opportunity to train with @varadpatil and @power_beard at @therelentlessstrength There is an apt Kabir's Doha for yesterday's session. कबीर संगत साध की, ज्यों गंधी का बास। जो कुछ गंधी दे नहीं, तो भी बास सुबास।। The meaning here is if you are in a good company you learn a lot / get benefits just by being around. Truly inspirational experience to witness @varadpatil squatting a world record weight for his weight class. @therelentlessstrength studio is a temple for powerlifters. #relentlessstrength #varadsfan #azzysfan #lifechangingexperience #relentless #relentlesspursuit #powerlifting #indianpowerlifting #powerliftingmeetprepmode #powerliftingtraining #strengthgoals #strengthtraining #strengthbuilding #volume #squats #speedsquats #deadlifts #deficitdeadlift #inzersinglet #inzerwristwraps #sbdbelt #nikeromaleos2 #sbdkneesleeves #nitraflex #pumasocks #inspiringexperiences #staydisciplined #stayconsistent #staypositive #stayontrack (at Banashankari,Bangalore) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5WjiKUlIPr/?igshid=194ylh50nouqo

Day -5 ( Fatigue setting up after a long week) 1. Conventional DL 2. Speed pulls 3. Machine squats 4. GHRs 5. Some core work Coach - @power_beard Felt quite fatigued during this session after a long week, missed the 3 reps mark on some of the core sets. Wearing a lower that was adding to resistance also made things worse. #powerliftingtraining #powerlifting #indianpowerlifting #deadlifts #speedpulls #squats #ghr #glutehamraise #coretraining (at Onyx Fitness Pai Layout) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5J0Ycblzgo/?igshid=dgzg344zyztn

Day 4 - Training videos ( One day at a time) 1. Paused bench press 2. DB prone rows 3. Inverted pulls 4. Push-ups - No vid 5. Floor fly 6. Curls Coach - @power_beard I have been climbing steadily on bodyweight due to the bump in calories intake. Not much choice there as I need the calories for these heavy workouts. The strategy is to not restrict calories at this stage and see where I land two weeks out. Goal is to be <= 82.5 at weigh in #powerliftingtraining #powerlifting #indianpowerlifting #powerliftingmeetprepmode #onedayatatime #bloodsweatandtears #benchpress #pronerow #invertedpullups #pushup #floorfly #curls #roadtomeet #staymotivated #staydisciplined #stayconsistent (at Onyx Fitness Pai Layout) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5EWltzlSfg/?igshid=1dmh14u79zron

Thought for the day : Strong people are difficult to kill than the weaker ones and mostly more useful in most situations, so be strong Best shot from the Bhutan trip.

Back to squatting after a couple of weeks. Box Squats - 100*5 getting ready to start my new mesocycle. Sharing some thoughts around being competitive in general. Let's discuss the difference between being competitive and being fake aggressive. Being truly competitive means having the guts to out work, out think and out perform others. While faking agression is mostly about cutting corners and trying to impose yourself meaninglessly. Avoid being fake aggressive, it is useless for you and irritating for everyone else. Be ready to do what it takes to become better, Keep improving and stay grounded #lifelessons #boxsquats #legday #backtosquats #legtraining #sbdbelt #sbdkneesleeves #onyxfitness #squatlife #squats #workoutlessons #alwaysbethehardestworkerintheroom #becompetitive #hardworkpaysoffs #hardworkbeatstalent #staymotivated #staystrong #stayconsistent #stayontrack #itisalwaysdayone (at Onyx Fitness Pai Layout) https://www.instagram.com/p/B291RzMlzkN/?igshid=x67bcvb733f3

Working on the Squats technique with @power_beard Bhai. It is amazing to experience such a huge difference in the power transfer once you fix some basic cues. No one better than Azzy bhai to learn the cues from at @therelentlessstrength Thanks to @tusharbharadwaj for the capture. Still working through the pain due to a plantar wart on my left leg, keeping my fingers crossed for quick healing. #squats #compoundlifts #technique #powerliftingtraining #relentlessstrength #relentlessstrengthstudio #sbdkneesleeves #sbdbelt #inzersinglet #learningfromthebest #studentforlife #getstrong #getbetter #getfit (at Banashankari,Bangalore) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1MiyRnlKB3/?igshid=ar817erxs37u

Rack pulls - 120 kgs + chains * 3 Back to pulling after a 6 weeks break. Felt good overall, I was using my squat shoes @nikeromaleosclub as I felt better with the thicker sole , still not recovered completely from the plantar wart. @sbdapparel belt is always a blessing. I felt shoulders taking over initially which was expected as I have been doing heavy presses through all these six weeks.

Overhead log press from Saturday's group session at @clubinvictus. Set - 60 * 2 Highlights of the video : 1. @sandeep.chittimuri calling me @larrywheels :-) 2. Grind during the second rep. Overhead log press is a good pressing variation to add in your routine. It is a compound movement that involves triceps,core,shoulders and even legs if you use leg drive to push the weight up. Thanks to @sandeep.chittimuri @dadbod_88 and @rohan_simon for all the encouragement. #overhead #logpress #overheadlogpress #compoundlifts #pressupvariations #assistancework #invictusgym #invictus #invictusathlete #strengthgoals #strengthtraining #upperbodyday #pressday #AbhineetSinha #strongmantraining #strongmanstuff #staymotivated #staycommitted #stayontrack #stayinspired #stayfit #hardestworkerintheroom #bloodsweatrespect #grouptraining #trainingpartners #coretraining #corestrength #tricepsworkout #shoulderworkout #fitnessmotivation (at Invictus Athletic Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0jPiRzliKL/?igshid=1oefpvud2e53p
