RAW STRENGTH SERIES 1 VIDEO

The Raw Strength Series are videos which show me performing various exercises with high repetitions combined with heavy weights!

In series 1 you will see me doing four exercises which consist of:
1) Weighted Pull Ups 30kg x 13 reps! (Body weight 107kg)
2) Press Behind Neck 80kg x 13reps!
3) Barbell Curls 70kg x 13 reps!
4) Bench Press 140kg x 13 reps!
​
The exercise "Pull Ups" is considered to be the ultimate strength testing exercise!
This is because it requires the person to pull up their whole body weight which is not an easy feat!
Me being me (competitive and self motivated) of course I wasn't happy with only pulling up my body weight so I decided to put on a belt and add an extra 30kg.
If you ask any knowledgeable trainer to list their top exercises Pull Ups or Chin Ups (Chin Ups differ due to the hand grip) would be included in every top 5 list!
The Pull Up or Chin Up is usually used as a common test exercise to show that you are at a certain level of strength and physical condition.
Although both the Pull Up and the Chin Up are difficult exercises the Pull Up is widely regarded to be the harder exercise.
This is because the Pull Up is done with a pronated (overhand) grip with your palms facing outwards and away from you. 
The usual grip width is just slightly wider than shoulder width. This hand grip and positioning puts the biceps in a weaker position foucusing more effort on the lats.
Chin Ups on the other hand are done with a supinated (underhand) grip where your palms face inwards so that they are facing you.
This grip and positioning put your biceps in a stronger line of pull, so your biceps will be hit harder then when doing Pull Ups. 
The usual grip width is shoulder width.
ALL EXERCISES IN THE VIDEO ARE UNASSISTED WITHOUT A SPOTTER! DO NOT TRY THIS YOURSELF! WHEN LIFTING HEAVY WEIGHTS ALWAYS USE A SPOTTER AS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS!
