Should you turn your wrist as you do bicep curls (supinate as you go) or stay supinated the entire time if your goal is maximizing biceps growth? Well, there’s a strong case to do both. One of the functions of the biceps is supination thus by training supination you’re training another function of the biceps that isn’t often trained on barbell variations. On the other hand, if you stay supinated the biceps are better biased at the part of the range of motion where it has the best leverage (bottom half of the curl). So my advice is you should be doing both. And if you are already doing preacher curls or cable curls where it’s not possible to supinate as you go — might as well do them on dumbbell curls where you have the freedom to do so. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

Something a lot of people don’t consider when theyre deciding the incline level on incline bench press is their arch. A 15 degree incline with an arch pretty much becomes flat which is ultimately why I recommend a 30 degree incline. Now I’m not saying your arch is equivalent to an exact reduction in incline of 15 degrees… but it does mean that you SHOULD be using accounting for your arch by 1-2 bench notches. Would you consider this bro-science or logic? #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

If you’re relying on training grip strength to grow your forearms, you have the wrong approach. Allow me to explain how grip strength fits in with the context of forearms growth and what you’re better off doing #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe

Is the lying hamstring curl superior to the seated hamstring curl? Vise versa? From a stretch perspective the seated hamstring curl puts the hamstrings in a greater degree of the stretch at the hip joint. This should be beneficial for hypertrophy. However, I find that you’re generally stronger and have an easier time training close to failure on the lying variation (with the seated, I tend to gas out quicker) All of this to say that you prolly should be doing both variations. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

The first person who thought to do Tricep kickbacks on a cable was onto something… but the innovator who came up with this leaning tower of Pisa cable tricep kickback that didn’t force you to be hunched over and get a head rush for no reason… chefs kiss. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

When it comes to machine Pulldowns, the Hammer Strength Pulldown AND a diverging pulldown both have their places in a routine — this isn’t a “which is better question” The hammer strength is a saggital plane pull (arms in front of your body) which will be more upper lat biasing compared to the diverging pulldown which is a frontal plane pull (arms out to the side) which will be more lower lat biasing. Perhaps you don’t need to do both exercises on the same day but I do believe training vertical pulls in different plane of motion is worthwhile. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

The Romanian deadlift and stiff leg deadlift are nearly the same exercise with one crucial difference: knee bend. The stiff leg deadlift tries to minimize knee bend so you can better bias the hamstrings compared to the RDL which would be more glute biasing in comparison. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

If your goal is to lose weight as quick as possible, I recommend you reconsider your goals. I’ve seen time and time again people go to the max by creating a huge calorie deficit that they struggle to follow. In my opinion, you should always take weight loss at a slow and steady pace. This allows for the opportunity to body recomp and helps you approach things in a more sustainable manner. I’ve seen it with my clients. You need to create a lifestyle where you naturally prioritize healthier high protein lower calorically dense meals and WANT to be active. Consider my 1:1 fitness coaching program if you want more personal guidance to help do this. And stay healthy folks! #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe

The reverse curl and hammer curls are actually more related than you might think. They both are curl variations that bias more of the brachialis and Brachioradialis. I think the debate whether one is better or worse for the brachialis is mixed. So for practicality sake… consider them focusing on both. Which means, the hammer curl is prolly a better movement overall since your grip is less of a limiting factor. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

Should you stop your set before reaching failure? Or should you be training all the way to failure? Ultimately, this is a matter of balancing fatigue imo and it’s not one over the other at all times… rather a better question is WHEN should you train all the way to failure vs WHEN should you stop before? Here’s my recommendation. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe

What’s the difference between dumbbell lateral raises and cable lateral raises? Is one inherently better than the other? Let’s find out #fyp #fitnesd #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe

The dumbbell shoulder press with a bench is not the same with a chair and here’s why I don’t recommend you use the chair. You will be weaker using a chair due to less stability and due to the upright posture compared using a bench where you can change in the incline to be less than 90 degrees. So when given the option, go with the bench! #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

When it comes to chest presses for the lower chest, decline bench press and chest dips usually come to mind… but is one better than the other? Which do I recommend? Lmk if you agree with me or not 😏 #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe
