If you’re alone in the or just an introverted chill guy and you fail on bench press — here’s how to make sure you can safely get the bar back up :) #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

This sounds funny, but when you’re training to failure, you actually have to train to failure otherwise, it’s not training to failure. And no, that wasn’t brain rot. In other words, you have to attempt the rep and actually fail it rather than stop and tell yourself “oof that last rep was hard, there’s no way I can do another one” and then stop without attempting. Goodluck and stay safe! #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

Here’s my thoughts on working out when you’re sick (and whether you should do it in the first place) #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe

For the longest time I would do lat pullovers with the rope because I figured it’d feel more ergonomic than the straight bar. Then I realized, the rope just makes it harder to hold your grip compared to the straight bar. I’d still chalk this up to personal preference but if you want my recommendation — I’d go straight bar #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

The advantage of using cables on lateral raises is that you can manipulate the resistance profile of the movement based off of the height of the cables. And a way to make the cable lateral raise stretched focused is by raising the height of the cables to hand height. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

Ngl, after I started doing overhead tricep extensions in a way that I’m not limited by a rope (either isolateral like in a katana extension or unilateral) I’ll never go back to using a rope. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

A big misconception when it comes to dips is thinking you need to stay upright in order to bias the triceps on a dip. Truth is, it’s the elbow flare that dictates whether you’ll be getting more lower chest involved or not. Ideally, a narrower grip with minimal elbow flare will allow you to bias the triceps #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

If you have a weak incline barbell bench press, focusing on the bottom part of the range of motion where it’s hardest can get you stronger in that position. Thats why I always recommend incorporating pause rep-style bench pressing — in this case, Pause Rep Incline Barbell Bench Press #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

If you’re ever in the situation where you need to do cardio and weight training in the same day, here’s the order you should follow to maximize muscle gains. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe

If your biceps are fatiguing on lat pulldowns before your lats, you’re likely pulling with more elbow flexion than shoulder extension / adduction. In other words, focus on getting your elbows down to the side of your body rather than simply getting the bar down #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

If you’re doing dumbbell hammer curls without a back rest, I recommend doing the cross body variation and alternating. Not because you’re inherently training the brachioradialis/ brachialis more by internally rotating the shoulder… but rather it is simply gonna be more stable since the center of mass will be closer to your body. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

The bayesian cable curl has been getting a lot of popularity recently because it’s a lengthened focused bicep exercise that is NOT a preacher curl. However, the setup on this exercise truly matters — here’s how to make sure you’re actually making the exercise lengthened focused #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe

Reverse curls can be a viable option for training the other elbow flexors like the brachialis and brachioradialis… if you don’t lose your grip. Thus, a way to make this exercise better is to take the grip out of the movement by using a cuff #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

The beauty of using dumbbells is that you do not need to maintain a strictly pronated grip when you press. In fact, most people will find that turning the dumbbells in and having a slightly tucked arm path on a flat bench press (let’s call it 65ish degrees) will feel more comfortable and allow them to get a deeper stretch at the bottom which should be better for chest growth. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

Been awhile since I’ve seen anyone talk about the bilateral cable bicep curl with the bar. A way we can make this actually a bit morr lengthened focused is by flipping our body away from the cables and performing a faceaway version of the exercise. #fyp #fitness #gym #bodybuilding

The biggest mistake on bicep curls that you might not even notice is curling the wrist on the concentric. Ideally, you want to keep the wrist neutral or even slightly go into extension as you curl. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

The overhead dumbbell tricep extension imo should be avoided if you have access to a cable imo. However, if you’re restricted to dumbbells, performing the movement unilaterally imo is slightly better due to the better rom you can achieve. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

Here’s a point you likely haven’t heard about the Nippard style Rear Delt Reverse Pec Deck Fly. A lot of people have seen the lengthened focused unilateral reverse pec deck fly that Jeff Nippard popularized. While it’s not 100% certain that the rear delts will benefit from a lengthened focused exercise (compared to muscle groups such as the quads, chest and calves), the unilateral version may still be worthwhile doing because it is EASIER to avoid scapular retraction which would involve more of the mid back. Especially since this exercise is almost a lengthened partial where there’s almost no tension in the shortened part of the rom where scapular retraction is most likely to occur. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

Hitting new PRs is always fun, but I promise you that your future self will thank you if you always maintain good form. This means nerfing the amount of weight your egolifting self can handle. My first injury happened back when I was 17 from deadlifting with poor form. I still get lower back pain til this day. You only have 1 body. Stay safe, leave the ego out the door, and train smart. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

So someone asked about the carter extensions that has been gaining popularity recently so here are my thoughts. I’m aware that technically the carter extension can be done with a cuff, but everything I said pretty much still applies. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe
