Nerds Who Lift Podcast Presents: BrainPan Amnesty A Poetical Memoir by Nicholas Anderson
*Note: Reading from book starts at 5:50*. What’s up Nerdz, we are back! Well…sorta. Though we have been on hiatus we are not gone I have focused on another project of mine that’s been a life long goal…I wrote a book! A book poetry, but a book nonetheless! It’s called BrainPan Amnesty. It’s currently to print and will be delivered and ready to ship by December 21st, 2021. I figured it would be fun to share this on the podcast with some background on the project and then a few readings of my favorite pieces. So please enjoy this little break from the lifty things and me sharing my more nerdy things. I hope you enjoy and you pick one up. They are $20. Just contact me through the usual socials and I’ll get you set up. Thank you again for tuning in to the Nerds Who Lift Podcast. On this episode I share the history on the book’s development & then I share one of my favorite pieces - “A Lighthouse Off the Shores of Forever”.

Keep Your Hose in Line: Power of Pelvis Position
What's up Nerdz,
In this NWL shorty episode, we hit on the power of pelvis position in relation to the rib cage & transverse abdominals in creating optimal intra-abdominal pressure for stronger bracing for all the lifts. Especially in the bench press where the bracing is more illusive in the horizontal and arched position.
Your ribs, obliques, and pelvis act like a hose of water and is essential to keep aligned for optimal water pressure. So keep your hose in line for the strongest power output in bracing for the big lifts.
