“Bro you’re taking up the lat pulldown station to do bicep curls” And fucking what mate? My set takes 60 seconds max. Similar as if I was actually doing a lat pulldown. The gym equipment is there to be used. I pay a membership like everyone else. Stop waffling bollocks.

Do your leg presses properly. I can squat 5 plates + Deadlift 6 plates + I’m using 4 and a half plates a side here on this leg press. Full ROM, paused in the bottom, constant tension etc. Causing absolute destruction to the quads. Yet you’ll see some fella with skinny legs repping out 8 plates a side with a 2 inch ROM. Make it make sense.

I never trained my abs directly for years…big mistake. I used to thing squats/deadlifts were enough. (This might be the case for some people but not everyone) Every time I used to diet down my abs never used to “pop” so to speak. Over the last few years I’ve trained abs directly 2x week. Kneeling cable crunches and ab crunch machine being my go to at the start of every leg day. Also helps lubricate the spine going through spinal flexion/extension before any axial loaded work. Surprise surprise my abs look better when I’m leaner these days. Something as simple 2-3 sets 2x a week with a big focus on getting stronger is better than nothing. Wish I’d started it sooner.

Leg press ain’t the problem. It’s shit execution.

Set of 14 on pendulums today. Haven’t done much quad compound work below sets of 10 really for the last 18 months. My quads have responded really well. Genuinely feel even better connection/stimulus this way. Be your own science experiment. Don’t follow nobheads blindly.

Elbow/wrist pain? -Switch a lot of your “bicep” movements to unilateral variations. -Can allow better alignment with the joints so you can nail the bicep without issues. -Bilateral movements “can” for some people like trying to force a square peg into a round hole. Examples below: 1) Single arm dumbbell preacher curl 2)Single arm cable curl (facing stack) 3) Single arm cable curl (facing away from stack…shown in video) 4) Single arm cable preacher curl 5) Single arm high cable curl

I’ll show you EXACTLY how to shave weight off your leg press. Ain’t good for your ego…but great for quad development. 1) Lowest foot stance you can handle while maintaining good foot pressure and experiencing no knee pain. 2) Control your eccentrics and don’t divebomb into the bottom. 3) Go as DEEP as you possibly can for what your anthropometry allows (stay within your active range of motion) 4) No locking out at the top…continuous, fluid reps bullying the quads into submission. Leg press is ELITE when done right!

Flat smith machine presses. Great movement this one when you set it up correctly. Nails the pecs, like a piston in full sync when you’re locked in. “JuSt bArBeLL bEnCH bRo” Look…barbell bench is a legit movement, I used it for years. I just get more out this movement now. No rules to your exercise selection choice when hypertrophy is your #1 goal.
