The Power of Peck Major in the Bench Presser
The idea of pulsing and it creates speed. It creates harder strikes. And the next principle in all of this is our body is a mechanical linkage. So if you're pushing a weight off your body in a bench presser, you're standing boxing on the offensive line. The same muscle proximal to the ball and socket joint connects the rib cage. That's action there. It actually bends the rib cage towards the shoulder joint, which is an energy leak.
Dr. Stuart McGill is often considered to be the world’s foremost expert on spinal biomechanics. His patient list ranges from the general population to some of the world’s most elites athletes, and his work has produced over 240 peer reviewed journal papers and 4 books.
In this mashed up replay from two of my most popular episodes, Dr. McGill and I cover a wide range of topics – from lower back movement assessments to program design and everything in between, if you have questions about the lower back or core, Dr. McGill is your guy.
And in case you didn’t pick up on it in my intro, I want to say it again here: Dr. McGill has been one of the most influential people in my life as a coach. His work has heavily influenced me throughout my career, and I’ll be forever grateful for both his mentorship and kindness over the years.
Now let’s jump in and talk about backs!
In the UFC the strikers with the bigger muscles end up “pushing” their punches – they’re slower because the use muscle. The ones who strike the hardest are the ones who create the “pulsive” strength. – Dr. Stuart McGill
