For skull crushers should I go lower and get a deeper stretch with less weight? Or should I keep it like this and try and control the weight the whole way without letting it sink? Appreciate the advice btw I’m really tryna clean up form on some of my... show more

Actually your form looks pretty good here. I wouldn’t do the rotation however, that might fuck with your wrists when you increase weight. Choose vertical or horizontal - or just use a straight barbell / ez curl.

Chris1 year ago

I have some straight bars here Ima try those

shaun mooney1 year ago

If i ever do these i use the EZ bar, u can push the weight/load more on them and u still get a big stretch. Never tried em with dumb bells.

Chris1 year ago

Don’t have one here :(

Alr bruh u impression farming at this point grip up plz

Jefe Jake 🧙‍♂️1 year ago

deeper for bigger stretch of the triceps, and is there no curl bar?

Chris1 year ago

Only straight bars no ez girl I might buy one and bring it with me

Controlling the weight is the most important thing I’ve learned for sustained success

Austin Collins1 year ago

Honestly both, if the form is good and you don’t start to struggle around 8-10 reps, go up 5 pounds

Chris1 year ago

I’m in a weird spot heavier I lose form and control and where I’m at I feel like I just need to do more reps

#flexfriday My appetite has been very good lately and I’ve put on some size. I just need to keep it up when I get laid off here at the end of the month to try to meet my end of year goal weight. Pretty funny how I don’t really know anyone else trying to gain weight. If you’re a hard gainer I feel you, keep it up.

Charles Oliveira shares insight into his weight-cutting process: "I cut it slowly. I go little by little... You get the video out there and everybody sees you laying down with the towel, whatever, and they're crazy about it. For me, I'd rather not do it like some people where they wake up really early in the morning and start cutting the weight on that day."

Cam Thomas said he dropped "a good amount" of weight this offseason: "It was just something I wanted to do. My last two years, I wanted to put on a little more weight and try the strong, bulky route... I didn't really like how I looked... I look and feel better [now].”

I will say I did some physics testing using the advanced options for VRC physbones and wow! The better control over dampening is really nice. Need to tweak some stuff to give it more “weight” without destroying the hair silhouette

Unfortunately the weight was too heavy for me and I couldn’t get it up. I hit the back of my head on the barbell and knocked myself out 😢😕

This is how gym culture should be! I was on my 5th set of 5 when I couldn't push it up. This nice gentleman helped me rack the weight and spotted me for another set.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned on my lower back journey, it’s this: 👉Strengthening beats stretching every time. If you have lower back problems, chances are your psoas muscles are weak. You can stretch, massage, and foam roll all you want but it won’t be as effective as *movement with resistance*. When I added hanging leg lifts to my routine I saw immediate results. Now I’ve started adding weight with MonkeyFeet—and even a little weight makes it so much harder. (Note: Bent-knee lifts are best for targeting the psoas. Straight leg lifts target the abs and have more to do with body geometry than strength.)

WEEKLY WEIGH-IN 4/3/26 I haven’t lost any weight this year… But I know I’ve lost fat. I also know that I’d be a lot lower on the scale if I hadn’t stopped fasting. I’m sorry for letting my insecurities stop me from sharing last week’s weigh-in. We’re a quarter of the way through this year… and obviously it was a lot more of a struggle for me than I was anticipating; but I am not gonna stop trying, and I know that moving and continuing to build new routines is gonna go a long way towards moving forward with the weight loss this year. #weightlossjourney #weightloss #motivation #fitness #fatloss

Sometimes people with endless free time say things like I’m not losing weight fast enough or I should be doing this or that, some of them even get upset that I’m Jewish, even though I’m not super religious (working on it!) and I married a Pentecostal southern belle 👸 But, I have a wife who loves me and a little man who looks like this every time we play. I’m providing for them, while doing everything else on the side. So just to be clear, the reason I don’t engage with the haters is very simple: Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn

I’ve used a barbell for bench for a whole year and I’m new to the smith machine. Should I be higher or lower on the bench in terms of chest placement?

Let's talk about this lift, but let's do so in a way to move the strength and conditioning profession forward. There is too much weight on the bar. The athlete cannot do that much weight without the spotter pulling them up off the ground. We know these things to be true. Does this mean split squat should not have a 1RM? Or should not be 1RM (or rep tested)? No it does not. Split Squat should. It should just be assessed properly with no pulling up out of the bottom (just like a back squat should not, or spotters hands on a bench press). Love to see the safety with other spotters on each side, would just like to see less slamming knee on ground and needing to be pulled up out of the bottom. TL;DR - 1RM or rep max your split squat/reverse lunge, just make sure you don't let athletes slam their knee on the ground and make sure you don't pull the athlete up out of the bottom.

Chamath Explains What It's Like To Go On Joe Rogan's Podcast, And Why Kamala Should Do It His Advice: Ignore Your Campaign Strategists And Show The American People Who You Really Are. "Before you go on Joe Rogan, there's a sense of anxiety that I had, which was, 'Do I have enough interesting things to say for three hours?'" "That was really at the top of my mind." "And then you go and you get in the seat. And he's incredible in the way that he moves the conversation along." "And then you end up, you're like, 'Oh, it's already been three hours.'" "That's his superpower." "The reason that (Harris) should find a way to go to Austin and do it is because he has the ability to allow you to be your true self over a long period of time." "And I think, again, just going back to the basics, she deserves for herself, for the American people to vote up or down who she really is." "And all the campaign strategists aside, and all of the other nonsense aside, I would want, if I was running for president, one shot at people being able to see me for who I really am." "And that's why she should go on Rogan."

Barbell Squats build more than your quads. They build more than your legs. They put systemic stress on your entire body, forcing it to grow. Barbell Rows build more than your lats. They build your entire back, including your erectors and traps. They also add to the growth of your posterior chain. I could go on with other free weight examples, just understand this: The overall hypertrophic stimulus and added muscle density achieved with heavy, free-weight compound lifts will be greater than what’s achieved using machines exclusively. In the context of bodybuilding, a combination of both free weights and machines is the best scenario… under one condition: The aim should be to first max out both maximal strength and execution quality on free-weight lifts. That’s how most of the best physiques in history were built. And that should be the bread and butter for any beginner, up to a late-intermediate / early-advanced lifter. Don’t just take my word for it. Study the history of bodybuilding and how the biggest mofos built their physiques.

Deadlifting… Decided to try it for the first time today. Light weight and low reps. Just trying to get a feel for the technique and form. I’m sure it needs to be cleaned up. Back too rounded maybe? If anyone has a second to watch the vid and give some feedback it’d be appreciated! 💯💪🏼💯
