![]() Since then, we’ve tried a few things to give some variety and to see if any particular thing stuck, such as comics and our store, but we soon realized that without putting in huge amounts of effort, they weren’t going to be a huge draw. We started regularly providing content a bit before our Kickstarter in order to drum up a regular schedule of information to fans. It was primarily used to help promote DePaul as a university, but it was mutually beneficial to everyone. ![]() Additionally, they pointed different journalists to us, getting some different conversations going that we might otherwise had missed. It’s hard to say the impact of their reach, but at the very least it helped get word out in a professional manner. There was even less of a boost during the actual conference.ĭePaul had hired a marketing company to help promote the game through traditional outlets, including helping to send out press releases. It was great to get that validation from being in the Student Showcase, but interestingly enough it didn’t play a substantial part in helping get the word out about Octodad. ![]() From then, our traffic started to dwindle a bit. There was a small increase in traffic when the student finalists were announced for the IGF on January 10th, 2011, but that only added about 1000 visits per day for a couple days (doubling our average traffic). Later on, we were even featured on X-Play’s “ Games for Cheap Bastards”. A bit later we had a substantially sized bump from comic-site VGCats (December 9 th), as well. What we couldn’t have predicted was that we later had a boost from Ctrl+Alt+Del comic on November 29 th/30 th that, by itself, was more than the combined hits from game news sites. Of course, it helped that we had a trailer with a catchy song and pitch, and that the game was free to download on our website. ![]() The first explosion came from sites like Kotaku, Rock Paper Shotgun, and Joystiq around November 12 th which recommended playing the game after hearing about it through. (As a disclaimer, I tried not to accidentally leave out key people who have helped us, but I apologize if I did!) But aside from that, it’s interesting to take a look at what has really helped push us into the spotlight over the past couple of years since our release on October 31, 2010. It’s probably not a stretch to say that the first Octodad became popular for two major reasons: it was quirky and it was free. ![]()

INNOVATION: Combining Tradition with Technology to Provide th e Image you Desire and the Performance you Deserve In keeping with its founder’s dedication to quality and durability, Spiewak has always made product innovation a central focus of its business, and it continues to this day. When World War II came, Spiewak supported the troops by delivering more than one million units of flying suits, bomber jackets, peacoats and other specialized gear. World War I marked the start of the firm’s business as a military contractor, producing wool coats, jackets, and naval breeches for the military. Spiewak introduced its first police jackets in 1923, outfitting the New York State mounted troopers. Spiewak’s company started out in a one-room loft in Williamsburg, but grew in step with America’s own expansion. Nineteen years after Spiewak’s centennial, it remains a privately held family business, now under the direction of Isaac’s great-grandson Roy Spiewak. He started his company with the goal of bringing his family to America, and as they arrived, eventually all six of his sons joined the firm.

For Leslie that’s approximately 185 regardless of whether she does the same movement single or double leg.įocus on bracing the core and maintaining full body tension from head to toe. Another way to gauge the weight is to try to use the heaviest load you can handle with a traditional double overhand grip. For instance Leslie typically uses 275 for sets of 4-6 reps and she was able to use 185 for several sets of 4. The goal should be to use a load that’s 2/3 or 67% of the typical weight you use on rack pulls. Secondly the back leg extended behind the lifter helps to act as a counterweight for the spine so it doesn’t feel like the weight is pulling the lifter over and placing excessive tension on the back. First because the overall load is reduced compared to the bilateral version. The low back tension is reduced for 2 reasons. These also absolutely torch the glutes and hamstrings. The single leg version is great way to crush rack pulls with high intensity while also minimizing strain on the low back and spine – a common issue with rack pulls. Although rack pulls are a fantastic functional strength and mass builder many lifters struggle with low back pain due to the extreme overload from a deadstop position. Here I have my awesome client and NPC figure competitor Leslie Petch performing single leg rack pulls. On a side note you can perform these with the plates on a box rather than using squat rack and pins as many traps bars won’t fit well in a rack. In essence rack pulls with the trap bar tend to be safer and also allow more overload in comparison to the standard barbell method. That’s because once you go below your knees with the standard barbell the weight wants to pull away from the lifter even more so which places further strain on the spine. In addition I find that I can have clients perform rack pulls with a slightly greater range of motion by starting the movement slightly below the knees rather than above the knee as I would typically have them do with a straight bar. Here’s my awesome client Elizabeth Yates showing how it’s done. Although they are traditionally performed with the standard straight bar, the trap bar is very conducive for overloading in a safer fashion as the load is lined up with the center of mass instead of in front of it. Rack pulls are one of the most effective exercises for overloading large muscles of the upper torso and hips including the upper back, lats, traps, rhomboids, spinal erectors, glutes, and hamstrings, not to mention the grip and forearms. I recommend performing several sets (3-4) of lower reps (2-6) with heavier loads is ideal before finishing with a higher rep set of 10-12 repetitions with a substantially lighter load. ![]() ![]() Regardless of whether you choose bands or chains or a combination of both, these provide a brutal combination for devastating the entire upper back and building a monster yoke as you’re taking advantage of all three mechanics of muscle hypertrophy namely muscle damage, mechanical tension, and metabolic stress (resulting from the isometric holds at the top). Notice the semi-controlled eccentric phase (rather than the common free-fall) which also promotes additional functional mass and strength via muscle damage through eccentric overload. Here I'm using 365 pounds of free weights with an additional 150-200 pounds of band tension. The same concept can also be applied to rack pulls using bands. In fact the total load at the top was well over 600 pounds. However if you're body mechanics are poor then yes you're better off using the free-fall technique.įinally, rather than simply bringing the weight back to the pins immediately after lifting it, I had Ben hold an isometric in the top position for several seconds while feeling the load literally pulling and creating micro trauma throughout the entire musculature of your upper back and traps. If you have proper postural control and body mechanics you should have the ability to control the eccentric phase on any lift including heavy deadlifts and rack pulls. Third, Ben used a controlled eccentric lowering phase to keep constant tension on the muscles rather than the free-fall technique commonly used. This allows for relatively lighter loads in the bottom position while overloading the stronger top position. We also used accomodating resistance in the form of chains. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Uploading screenshots to iTunes Connect got tremendously complicated thanks to the now new iOS Screenshot Sizes.

There are also buttons for lights, beacons, the radio, cruise control, and so much more.
