Becoming a Bedroom Gladiator
Point blank; are you good at sex? You’re a man, so you clearly answered ‘yes.’ By nature, we all truly believe we’re kings in the bedroom….am I right?
In all seriousness, very few of us are as good as we think we are. The hard truth is that in order for any of us to be ‘she tells her friends about it’ good, we need to first realize that we have room for improvement. Sex is a physical activity requiring strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility. If you’re not maximizing your potential in these three areas, you’re simply not ‘all that you can be’ when duty calls.
In this article, I’ll be revealing three resistance exercises that are guaranteed to kick your game up a notch, maybe even two. Let’s get busy!
Exercise 1: Sumo Barbell Deadlift
Why:
Sumo deadlifts build the glutes (your ass), which women love.
Your thrusting power will increase dramatically, which is good for obvious reasons.
Deadlifts make you feel alpha. You know, like the king of the jungle.
The sumo stance improves hip flexibility, which is very beneficial in the bedroom. Pulling a hammy is so beta.
How:
Keep the spine flexed, creating an arched back throughout the entire movement.
Focus on thrusting the glutes forward to lift the barbell and complete each rep.
As you descend toward the floor, push your knees outward to keep the shins vertical for safety and to improve valuable hip flexibility.
Lower the barbell to the floor by bending the knees and leaning slightly forward. Don’t forget to bend those knees!
Rotate workouts between 5 sets of 5 reps (maximal strength), 3 sets of 12 reps (muscle size), and 2 or 3 sets of 20 reps (muscular endurance).
Exercise 2: Bent or Straight Arm Plank
Why:
Core strength matters when you’re on top giving your ‘opponent’ the good ole ground and pound.
While the main focus is the core, straight arm planking will also strengthen the triceps and pecs. Bent arm planking tends to hit the shoulders and pecs. Use both variations!
Strengthening your core improves balance. If your Cirque de Risque includes acrobatics, you’ll be ready.
How:
The biggest mistake when planking is letting the hips drop too low. It’s crucial that you maintain a slight bend at the hips, allowing your stomach to flex hard. This also keeps your lower back reinforced and safe.
Whether you choose the straight arm or bent arm variation, it’s important to pull your shoulder blades apart in order to engage the pecs and improve your form.
Your feet and hands should be set roughly at shoulder width. As you become stronger, moving them towards the midline of your body (like you’re on a tight rope) will increase the plank’s difficulty.
Add weight to the lower/mid back region (straight up from the abs) when necessary. Bodyweight should not be your strength limit!
Rotate between 5 sets of 30 seconds, 3 sets of 60 seconds, and 2 or 3 sets of 90 seconds on a workout-to-workout basis.
Exercise 3: One and a Half Rep Pushup
Why:
In this game, the ability to support yourself with your arms is necessary. Without that ability, your physical versatility as a man drops, and so does her interest.
Just like strong glutes, women are biologically attracted to impressive pecs. Grow em and show em!
This pushup variation requires ‘above average’ strength, control, and endurance. When it comes to upping your sex game, you need to master this exercise.
How:
Remember your body’s position during the plank? It’s your body’s starting, middle, and end position for this pushup. The only things moving should be your arms and chest, as they raise and lower your body while it maintains it’s position.
Since this is not a regular pushup, start in the top position, drop all the way until your chest hits the floor, push until you’re half way back up, drop your chest to the floor again, and finally finish the rep by powering all the way back to the top starting position; that’s one rep.
Do not let your hips/quads touch the floor. If your legs tough the floor first, you need to lift your butt and improve that form. The only thing touching the floor at the bottom of each rep should be your chest (possibly your stomach too), and it hits twice per rep.
Add weight to the upper/mid back region (straight up from the pecs) when necessary. As with the plank, bodyweight should not be your strength limit!
Rotate workouts between 5 sets of 5 reps (maximal strength), 3 sets of 12 reps (muscle size), and 2 or 3 sets of 20 reps (muscular endurance).
When it comes to training in the gym for sexual superiority, I have many more exercises and methods up my sleeve. Using the three moves above is a great starting point, and I want you to use them immediately, but the best results will always come from having a complete plan of action.
Before I go, I’d like to leave you with a piece of advice; some might even call it a mantra: “Train hard in the gym to dominate life outside of the gym!”
