For
several weeks now, 15-year-old Joseph has been working hard on
hanging-band squats and assisted chin-ups. Friday night he was able to
see what effect that type of training has had.
After working up
to 45 pounds a side on hanging-band squats, he was ready for
conventional squats with the “big plates”. No problem! Now, we’ll stay
there for a while and “own” that weight, working on range and form.
Doing
just a single chin-up seemed almost impossible at one time for Joseph,
but that’s no longer the case. He can do one and his numbers will just
“go up” from there!
Take-Home Message: Work hard, consistently, and you’ll achieve your goals in the gym.
