Hardware & Environment
Item | EK Spec |
Rack | Safety pins at mid-thigh (just above kneecap). Steel, no wobble. |
Barbell | 28 mm deadlift bar (high whip = CNS slingshot). |
Plates | Calibrated 25 kg steels + two 1.25 kg micro-chips. Red discs = visual shock value. |
Footwear | None. Bare sole = raw proprioception, zero heel wobble. |
Support Gear | NO belt, NO straps, NO sleeves. Iron must respect only flesh and nerve. |

Tendon Charging | 1-2 | Prep connective tissue | 3 ×/week — Isometric pin pulls @ 80 % of max, 3 × 3-sec holds |
Micro-Load March | 3-10 | Linear ascent | Every session: Warm-up ladder → 1 × Budging Single @ 95 % ++ Add 2.5 lb/1.25 kg per side next session if bar speed > 1 cm/s |
