September 11, 2009 by Ryan Irwin · Leave a Comment
There are many ways to change variables in the gym to keep shocking the muscle to new heights of growth, development and strength. One of these is the use of chains. In this video, Ryan Irwin demonstrates bench press in the Full Potential Training Studio at Nutri-Sport with chains.
As demonstrated in the video, when the bar travels down, it lightens up and can be explosively lifted with an increased load at the top. This is very functional verses a machine as you have to stabilize and balance the bar. There are many exercises that they can be used for and are great for anyone looking to increase size, strength or power.

In this video, Daira and Tasha demonstrate a great way to do cardio. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is an extremely effective way to accomplish many things including: increase one’s metabolism, improve cardiovascular conditioning and increase power output and explosiveness.
After a 5 min warm-up, repeat these 15-20 second sprints and 45 second moderate pace 10 times. Follow this by a 10 minute cool down. You don’t want to do this more often then 2-3 times per week as it’s taxing on the body.

Squats are one of the best exercises to develop leg and hip power, strength and size. This variation called “box squats” forces one to come to a complete stop, then drive out of the “hole” without the rebound effect. By doing so, it really helps to increase the power. This is great for sports, powerlifting and anyone who wants to increase there power or just learn how to squat to the proper depth.
