The ATP

DSC09708This is a great power workout. After working up to a heavy back squat, make sure you take your time and approach each rep as a single, max effort attempt, from the squat jumps to the 100m row. Allow yourself a full 2-3 mins rest to ensure maximal intensity each round.

I am extremely fortunate to be able to have access to a Westside Barbell APT (Athletic Training Platform).  The ATP allows us to do things we normally couldn’t work on or isolate. The Athletic Training Platform (ATP) is a highly versatile strength machine that does not burden my spine while training. Due to the placement of the belt around the waist, the ATP tractions the spine while training, allowing me to carry more weight in workouts, from the hips down to the calves. I’ve tried other machines that are supposed to do the same thing, but they are just not as effective. If you have a chance to use one of these I’d highly recommend it.

For this workout, I used the ATP machine for a great power workout.
