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
Another one of the bicep’s function is supination. If you’re gonna use dumbbells, I generally recommend supinating as you curl since you won’t have the opportunity to do so on a lot of other curl variations with different equipment. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding
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
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
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
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
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
On those days where you’re not feeling 100% or you just hate legs. Choosing a more stable squat variation like smith machine squat can be a good option. From a hypertrophy perspective they’re quite similar — in fact, an argument can be made that the smith machine allows you to train closer to failure due to the lower stability requirement #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe
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 dumbbell preacher curl is one of the best exercises for biceps growth imho. If you’re scared to go all the way down on the preacher curl, this will be greatly helpful! #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe
The skullcrusher should be thought of something like an overhead tricep extension done while laying down. Meaning, instead of the bar actually hitting your forehead, I would bring my shoulders higher and aim to arc the bar around my head. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding
If you want to best bias the lats on a seated row, you’ll have to ditch the v-grip and opt for a wider handle — ideally shoulder width. But it doesn’t end there. You should also be pulling to your waist and making sure you get your shoulder back by your body #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding
A good dumbbell shoulder press setup will make or break your set. The most energy efficient and reliable way to get the dumbbells up is by using your knees to launch them up. Also, if you tend to get shoulder pain on a shoulder press, try bringing your shoulders in so you’re pressing more in your scapular plane rather than all the way out in your frontal #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding
Here’s why you using safety pins on squats is prolly gonna lead to better gains. It gives you the piece of mind to actually push for that rep PR and hit failure KNOWING that you’re safe. Take the time to set those pins and stay safe! #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding
Here’s my answer to the skinny fat paradox. TL:DR… don’t just thinkg about building muscle if your goal is to look aesthetic! #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe
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
The bayesian cable curls are super popular nowadays, especially the variations done at hand height. However, I find that this setup is especially prone to having your shoulders come forward. Which is why I recommend the bayesian cable curl done with cables set from above (around forehead height) #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe
