COACHING LOG:

This installment of the Monster Garage Gym/Maroscher Coaching Log covers Catapult work for pre-shirt work warm-ups.

The point of this particular log is to demonstrate one of the highly effective methods to warm-up for a great shirted training day, but not expend all of your energy in the process of warming up for the shirt.  In this video and log, you will see Steve’s work to prep him for his shirt, in addition to walking you through his training on this day.

Currently Steve is in the early weeks of training for the APF Senior Nationals.

Steve (WPC World Powerlifting Champion) presses in the mid-700’s in a shirt and is a 308LBer. He warms up with several RAW sets, then puts on his Metal Catapult. What Steve has learned is that the Catapult, after his initial warm-ups, helps him feel and lift the heavy weight (so the weight is not too big of a jump once the shirt goes on) but without having to use up all his energy lifting the heavy weight for the feel. The Catapult helps him with that.

Below you will find Steve’s workout and accompanying video (above) of some of his working sets. Ever Onward, Eric Maroscher/Owner: Monster Garage Gym.
