Suffocation Reverse Grip Pause Bench

I imagine that the barbell = the problems and issues in my life. As I lift the bar and face the many problems (in life), the bar tries to suffocate and crush me (as the bar is paused on my chest). I channel all my inner strength to conquer the weight (and problems) and push through.

Snatch Grip Explosion Deadlifts


I imagine that motherfucking cunt at work is right in between my glutes (right between the ass/butt crack). In an effort to trap this cunt, I must deadlift the weight up, contract and squeeze so he gets crushed.


As this despicable cunt gets more annoying each week-- this is associated with the lower rest periods and heavier weight progression I put myself through-- I must work harder to keep the cunt trapped.

Bruised Ribs Rows

New Training Phase:

Bruised Ribs Rows-

A Barbell Row 'variation' where one visualizes that their ribs = that douchebag at work and then proceeds to violently attack their ribs in an effort to hurt and bruise that motherfucker.

This motherfucker becomes more and more annoying each week (as the weight grows heavier)... therefore you have to get stronger and pull more violently each week to conquer and defeat this devil.
