=== Bench Press Update (04:38) ===

[00:00:01]  Hello lads So I just thought to check in from the Temple of Iron performing some good old bench for the hench and I just thought to give a update upon my training for those of you who are semi-blasphemous and do not follow me on Instagram if you don't do so immediately if you have an account first link in the description.
[00:00:30]  Now for those of you who are true friends and follow me on Instagram you have been seeing some updates from the Temple of Iron and I just thought to give some video material upon the sessions themselves so you can see a bit what they look like.
[00:00:48]  So yeah some good old bench right here.
[00:00:53]  Foi, Mirimleon.
[00:00:55]  That's my Odin amulets high aesthetic if anything.
[00:00:59]  And then obviously rocking my Celot's Delight, probably the most glorious garment of all time.
[00:01:08]  So yeah up at 130 there, getting to some good new PRs for reps in this current bulk feels good.
[00:01:19]  So the bench is going up, the push press is going up.
[00:01:22]  Both of those are quite dependent on a caloric surplus and then especially a good intake of carbohydrates.
[00:01:32]  So if you are stalling in the pushing movements try to get in some more carbohydrates and generally some more calories into just push through fuel through those stalls.
[00:01:45]  So I said that I was gonna aim for 190 as a new PR and not sure if I'll be able to make that but I'm getting some new PRs for reps at least which is highly glorious indeed.
[00:02:00]  So that was just a quick check-in from the Temple of Iron.
[00:02:04]  Now I thought to elaborate on something else that I see every once in a while in regards to martial arts training.
[00:02:12]  A note on kicks.
[00:02:14]  So let's look at the master Buakau.
[00:02:21]  Notice how his arms are swinging there.
[00:02:25]  So as you can see the glorious master himself Buakau is using one arm to get that momentum in the kick itself and I am trying to emulate his technique and obviously I do the same thing to really get that momentum and power in the kicks.
[00:02:48]  So you can look at some training clips which you might have seen before as well.
[00:02:53]  Some live commentary by Survive the Jive on the second clip.
[00:03:15]  Fucking lethal!
[00:03:28]  So that was my note on heavy kicks and keeping the guard up.
[00:03:34]  So as you can clearly see, one of the arms is being utilized to get that good, powerful momentum.
[00:03:43]  And I encourage you, you can just search here on YouTube for Buakau, and you'll see when he's training and when he's fighting as well, that is how it looks.
[00:03:53]  So I'm gonna end this video with some Just uh for the lulls uh is what it is.
[00:04:00]  So it's not kicks I would utilize in in any sort of predicament or anything, just for for the lols and for some flexibility.
[00:04:08]  So survive the jive and I after a session just uh trolling around a bit.
[00:04:14]  Now also I would encourage you to smash the like button if you liked this video and I'm not saying that because I necessarily need the likes but I want to see how many people actually like this type of video and then I can see if it gets like 2000 or maybe 3000 likes then I am motivated to do more of these sort of videos.
[00:04:36]  So do that if you liked the video.
