You don’t need 17 ab exercises. You don’t need 500 crunches. You don’t need to “confuse the core.” Cable crunches + leg raises are enough to build thick, defined abs. Then comes the boring part: Get lean enough to see them. Add weight. Add reps. Progress. Abs are muscles. Stop training them like a punishment.

After trying every fancy biceps variation, sometimes nothing feels better than going back to the old-school basics. Grab a barbell. Curl it hard. Get stronger.

Why are more men not doing hip thrusts? Why won't you train the single largest muscle in the human body by mass and volume?

Unpopular opinion: if your arms look small from the front, more biceps curls might not be the answer. Rope hammer curls hammer the brachialis + brachioradialis and add that dense, thick look to the upper arm and forearm. Get brutally strong at these.

Hot take: most people would grow better quads from hack squats/pendulum squats than barbell squats. Agree or disagree?

Unpopular opinion : Assisted pullups can help build a better back than weighted/body weight pullups alone. Don't be shy of incorporating this in your routine! Using the assisted pullups machines doesn't make you weak. The strongest lifters use it as a 'tool'.

Barbell curls are the only exercise where people train biceps, lower back, traps, ego and childhood trauma in one set. And we love it!

Your triceps will never be maxed out if all you do is pressdowns. Train them overhead. That position loads the long head at longer muscle lengths — exactly where hypertrophy stimulus can be especially potent. Pressdowns are good. Overhead extensions are non-negotiable.

If you want big arms then you need to focus on developing your triceps. Triceps make almost 65% of your arms! Don't get lost in 10 different movements for your triceps. All you need is: An overhead tricep movement to hit your long tricep head in a stretched position. A tricep dip movement to hit your lateral and medial heads. Get brutally strong in these.

Dear form police, Is this curl legal? Or will I be sentenced to 3 sets of pink dumbbells and “strict tempo” for life? 😛

How bad were these reps? Do you include unilateral movements in your routine?

Solid upper body day today. The 7th rep took me almost 7 seconds, lol. How long does your last rep take to complete?

This is what I've switched to. That hack squat machine wasn't great with the pad at the bottom cutting the ROM short. But the flak you get on the internet for a seemingly harmless video is mind boggling 😆

I've seen a lot of people doing quarter reps on leg press. The minimum depth you should achieve is that on the left frame. Want max gains? Try going as deep as on the right frame. And then you'll see the plates 'coming off' one by one 😆

Glad there are hammer strength machines now. It was difficult to progress with dumbbells. I'll leave the floodgates open for free weight purists and form police to attack me 😆
