One of the most popular ways to perform the cable lateral raise is to do it leaning tower of Pisa style. This way, you get a more lengthened resistance profile… oh wait, we can do the same in a more stabler way by simply raising the height of the cables to hand height. #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

One of the biggest mistakes if your goal is to maximize muscle growth is taking too short of rest times. Of course some exercises don’t always need a full 2 minutes of rest. But, if you’re resting less than 1 min in between sets — you’re likely not gonna be fully recovered. This may seem counterintuitive to rest 2+ minutes since you might not have as big of a pump. But, the pump doesn’t dictate muscle growth. #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

For those wondering why you’re not feeling it nearly as much in your biceps on hammer curls — that is the point of the exercise. Here’s why the hammer curl consistently makes it onto many arm workout lists despite not being a good biceps exercise. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe

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

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

While this will not directly fix the issue of having more biceps and forearm involvement (ultimately that is dictated by your arm path), a thumbless grip can help you shift your mental focus more to your back rather than your forearms. #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

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

I get it, free weight preacher curls feel super sus when you first start doing them. But, the unilateral dumbbell version is literally the best biceps exercise imo. Regardless, if you choose to do preacher curls, don’t skip out on the bottom half of the movement or else that defeats the purpose of even doing them. So long as you avoid ego lifting and you’re in control— you will be fine 👍 #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

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 have to choose between a chair or bench for dumbbell shoulder press, I would take the bench any day. Also, I recommend turning the dumbbells in a bit so that you’re pressing in your scapular plane which should allow you to more comfortably hit an ideal depth in the range of motion (I recommend just breaking 90 degrees. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

The leg extension is a fairly simple exercise. However, always take the time to properly adjust the seat position and shin rest so that the axis of rotation aligns with the knee. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

A lot of people think of the leg press as a good alternative to the barbell squat for those that get low back pain. Ironically, it’s also very possible to tweak your lower back if you allow your lumbar spine to bend at the bottom of a leg press (this is more likely to happen the higher your foot placement). Luckily, it’s pretty easy to avoid once you’re mindful of keeping that neutral spine and controlling the eccentric so you’re not divebonbing. #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

Here’s an explanation on why the “high reps + Low weight = muscle growth” idea is quite an archaic idea. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe

A lot of people are shocked when I tell them that I only weight 135lbs / 61kg … now keep in mind I’m genetically quite light — narrow clavicle, skinny wrist / ankles, 28in waist jeans; and I know there are many others like me who unfortunately are pressured into fixating on not being “victim weight” But, you can say I’m living proof that you don’t need to be the weight society tells you a man should be in order to build a healthy and aesthetic physique. Outfit from @AYBL (C0DE “PATH” for 10% off) Side note, I wish there was a term to explain someone partakes in weight training / chasing aesthetics but does not compete like myself. Feel lil weird calling myself a “bodybuilder” since I don’t compete. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #beaybl

One of the biggest mistakes I noticed people make is overly fixating on weight as the sole metric for progress. This paints an incomplete picture of your overall progress leading to discouragement or even worse, heading in the wrong direction altogether. Not to say tracking weight isn’t useful at all because it can def be relevant. Just don’t lose sight of other metrics such as strength, relative body fat % and well, looking in the mirror. After all, we’re not walking around with a bubble overhead displaying our weight. Top form @AYBL — C0DE “PATH” for an extra 10% off #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #beaybl
