Cluster Sets – Road to the Olympia with IFBB Pro Aaron Polites – Part 3, Episode 3

Aaron Polites’ third training session in a row on his High Frequency Chest/Back Routine. He trained the two days prior (previous episodes), and today we’re working on teaching him the proper set up for Incline Barbell Presses for his structure – keeping in mind his primary goals of Chest development, whilst also being mindful of keeping his shoulders healthy.

All of these questions revolve around the same central structure – the Hips. In this series, I’ll be taking you through some of my framework for understanding the Hips and rethinking what is commonly prescribed by trainers/coaches/practitioners – and my thoughts on what may be a more efficient way to go about understanding and improving Hip Mobility long term.
