The Barbell Hip Thrust, Special Exercises, & Addressing Weak Links

THE YESS TRAINING BARBELL CLUB'S 125 IB. MMA Flyweight Champion & Fight Team Captain, Gerald "Lil'Bomb"Javier, Performing Barbell Hip Thrusts From The Floor, Using 315 Pounds.

"You Are Only As Strong As Your Weakest Link", But What Does This Really Mean For Us In Regards To Performing Special Exercises?

You Guessed It.

We Assign And Perform Special Exercises According To What The Fighter Needs.

In Order To Address The "Weak Links".

Not Because We Seen "So And So" Doing It On A YouTube Video.

Everything In Our Gym Has To Be Validated, Serve A Purpose, With Minimal Risk And Maximum Reward, For The Sake Of Improving In The Ring, Cage, Or Mat.

Otherwise, It's Bullsh!t For Us.

Bullsh!t Is A Waste Of Time.

Special Exercises, When Programmed The Correct Way, Address The Weak Links Of The Fighter, To Improve The Overall.

Last Time Gerald Performed A Barbell Deadlift With 405 IBs., His Weakest Part Of The Lift Was His Lock Out.

The Last Part Of Completing A Barbell Deadlift.

What We Are Looking For In A "Lock Out", In Relation To A Barbell Deadlift, Is When The Hips Come Out Of Flexion (Ass Is Out In Flexion) And Into Extension (Glutes Are Contracted, Hips Are Extended Into The Bar).

My Guys Know This As "Shoot The Hips Through" (A Verbal Coaching Que I Shout Out To Them, During Their Lifts).

Why The Barbell Hip Thrusts For Lil'Bomb? 

Barbell Hip Thrusts Is A Go To Special Exercise For Us That Strengthens And Develops The Hamstrings, Glutes, And Low Back.

A Great "Isolate To Integrate" Tool Out Of Our Tool Box.

It Isolates Hip Extension, Trains The Muscles Responsible For Locking Out A Barbell Deadlift (Hamstrings, Glutes, Lumbar Spinal Erectors To Name A Few), In Order To Improve The Lock Out For A Barbell Deadlift.

Strengthening, Through Training The "Lock Out", In Order To Improve The "Lock Out" In The Barbell Deadlift.

Do You See Some Of The Methodology Here?!?

Everything Lil'Bomb Javier Needs Next Time, For 405 Or More.

415 IBs. At A 125 Pound Fight Weight

Stronger Hips = Stronger Punches, Kicks, Take Downs, And Movement.

Everyone Looks Great Under Light Weight.

The Weak Links Are Always Exposed When You're Challenged.

In The Gym, In The Ring, And In Life.
