Lets work smarter, not harder. The easiest way to rack and unrack a barbell on the ground is by taking a 5lb plate and rolling the plate on top. #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

If your goal is to grow your biceps, you’d likely wanna do a faceaway cable bicep curl with a straight bar since the resistance profile matches the point where the biceps have the most leverage to contribute to the movement. #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

If you’re using the hammer strength pulldown, something I recommend doing is lowering the seat, grabbing the handle, and leaning back so that the resistance profile becomes slightly more lengthened focused. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

Everytime I see someone do this exercise, it pains me — especially when it’s a trainer doing them. Don’t get me wrong, working the rotator cuff muscles isn’t a bad idea, especially before a heavy press. The problem with standing free weight external rotators is… there’s literally no resistance. Instead, use a cable or lay on your side if you only have access to free weights. Goodluck and don’t follow herd mentality just because you’ve seen others do these. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

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

When it comes to pec deck flys and the amount you should be bending the elbows, there really is a goldilock zone for optimal form for chest growth in mine. If you keep your elbows straight, you’ll be able to shorten the pecs more but will likely be limited by the load + not be able to get as good of a stretch. On the other hand, if you bend the elbows, you’ll be able to handle a heavier load and get a deeper stretch. But, not be able to shorten the chest as much #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

If we’re purely talking about biceps growth, the unilateral bayesian curl with the cables set to hip height is likely the best way to do a cable bicep curl. Not only are we getting a more lengthened focused bicep curl, we also don’t have to worry about the cable tickling us and can reap the advantages with unilateral training. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

If you want to keep tension on the triceps, don’t take the skullcrusher so literally. I recommend keeping the bar a bit beyond your head — never letting the shoulder get back to your chest at 90 degrees #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

If you wanna improve your gait when you’re running so you avoid getting low back pain and improve your times, make sure to squeeze your glutes intermittently so you avoid having anterior pelvic tilt when you run. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

This goes for pretty much any tricep exercise, you generally want to limit shoulder movement so that you can better focus on biasing the triceps and minimize the lats getting involved. Why are the lats more involved with shoulder movement on a tricep pushdown? Well if we think about the act of bringing our shoulder down, this closely resembles a lat pullover. In other words, shoulder extension = more lat involvement. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

If you’re relying on static stretching alone when you warmup, you might actually be hindering your performance and thus your gains. Instead, the best warmup is simply scaling up in weight on whatever exercise you do. Be liberal with the amount of warmup sets you do, conservative with the amount of reps you do in a warmup #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

If you’re doing tricep pushdowns on a set of dual cables and they’re free, I’d take the opportunity to do a cross body tricep extension where you’re able to turn the movement iso-lateral (meaning each limb is responsible for its own weight) and not be limited on your rom #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

When it comes to the shoulder press, I aim to get just below parallel. With that said, a lot of folks run into shoulder discomfort. Thus, I always recommend by standard to press in your scapular plane rather than your frontal all the way out to the side. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

If you’re gonna take a set of lat pulldown to failure, you wanna make sure you’re anchoring yourself down into the knee anchor, keep your head back to keep tension on the lats and of course always take a deep breath to brace for that rep PR #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

We all can agree that the overhand tricep pushdown is prolly a better exercise than the underhand pushdown from a hypertrophy perspective because your grip will be a limiting factor on the underhand variation. However, if you get wrist pain on an overhand pushdown (big reason why ppl would do the underhand variatoon) OR you just want a superior exercise all around— enter the unilateral cable pushdown. There is nothing quite like the freedom of rom you get performing the exercise unilaterally while also having the advantage of being more stable and ideal for minimizing muscle imbalances #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

The low to high fly is a bit of a misunderstood exercise. These 2 things will elevate the exercise from wobbly & feeling it in your biceps to more stable and upper chest biasing. Step 1: take a staggered stance Step 2: lead with the thumbs #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

If you’re gonna do a standard mid-chest cable fly, I highly recommend setting up the cables high and leaning over to get the mid chest arm path over just setting the cables at chest height. Much more stable this way. New @AYBL graphic tees — C0DE “PATH” for 10% 0ff #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #beaybl

If you tend to feel it in your arms when you’re doing lat pulldown, here is some advice that will surely help you better bias the lats. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe
