A trainer works with Jamie on controlled tempo and strict form to build a foundation for higher intensity. The focus is on chest-up posture and repeatable effort, with the trainer modeling recovery by taking a water break when his shoulders burn out.
Taking Jamie through this workout right now, he must think that I'm a bit of a nutty professor in so many ways. Here I am getting him to strip the weight back, getting him to do it slowly, getting to do the tempo. But basically what I'm doing here is making it repeatable effort done so we can scale him up to working him very, very hard. Chest up, chest up, chest up, and you're done, man. You're done. I'm cooked right now. I'm feeling it. My shoulders are on fire. I'm done. I'm just gonna grab a sip of water first, okay?
