When I was at barbell gyms I’d learned that stomping before unracking a heavy squat gives some more “oomph” to the rep, it primes the nervous system allowing for a little more power output.
I was working on handstand pushups, doing sets of ten partial reps as I’d failed to do a head to floor rep on the first attempt.
I’ll talk about this principle another time, but I decided to put on a show as there was a chick with an awesome ass near me…girl powered, and the day before did better on sets smashing my palm into the floor two to three times before kicking over, the same practice as stomping before a squat.
That palm smashing allowed a good rep, head to floor.
Little tricks that allow for better performance.
