Today, we&#8217;re going to be talking about tension.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading]PLAY VIDEO \u2b07\ufe0e[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/92Ej6fHgJqg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How To Feel Tension<\/span>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, this comes from early training, research, and development. It&#8217;s a term called irradiation. So what I want you to do right before we get started is I want you to feel what irradiation is. And most of us have probably experienced this to some capacity. But what I want you to do is I want you to make two fists here with your hands. And I want you to just squeeze your fist as hard as you can.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Okay, now squeezing your fist as hard as you can, you probably feel a good amount of tension in your forearms and your hands. Right?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good. Shake it out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, what you&#8217;re going to do is you&#8217;re going to do the exact same thing, the only movement that you&#8217;re doing is squeezing your fist. But I want you to start to realize what&#8217;s happening here, and maybe even in your back as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready 3.2.1&#8230; squeeze.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ah, did you feel that?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0I felt my abs turn on my lats and a little bit of my back as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good. Shake it out, shake it out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, what I want you to do is we&#8217;re going to do the exact same thing. But what I want you to focus on now is what happens to your legs and maybe even your butt muscles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.2.1.. Squeeze! There it is, you might even be holding your breath a little bit, which is okay, that is the power of irradiation by actually squeezing and creating more tension you can leverage to actually move more weight. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Putting The Pieces Together To Get Stronger<\/span>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So let&#8217;s say I have my weight here in the front rack position like I am going to press it, what you&#8217;re going to do right before you lift is you&#8217;re going to create this pulse of tension.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So the hand that&#8217;s holding the weight, kettlebell dumbbell, whatever it is, the opposite hand is going to be off to the side a little bit, but you&#8217;re going to squeeze both. And in doing so you should feel tension generated in not only your shoulders but hopefully your abs a little bit in your back. And then you should feel hopefully your butt squeeze a little bit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So this is going to create a solid platform that your shoulder can then push off of many times. You not getting the full expression of our strength, because as we&#8217;re pushing, we&#8217;re wobbling platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are creating more tension to move the weight. So let&#8217;s just pump it up a little bit so that you can move more weight, expand upon the strength that you&#8217;re already presenting with and then hopefully help you get a little bit stronger along the way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep up the great work and Live LOUD!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Share below with a friend or loved one!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;2&#8243;][uncode_share layout=&#8221;multiple&#8221; bigger=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_color=&#8221;color-nhtu&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":84679,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[75,74,73],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-84685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fitness","category-rehab-pain-injury-recovery","category-sports-chiropractic"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/4.png?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84685","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=84685"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84685\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":84695,"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84685\/revisions\/84695"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84685"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.liveloudlife.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
