High ➡️ Low Cable Rows = Lower Lat Thickness + Dense Mid-Back This angle biases the lower lats, teres major, and mid-back fibers by pulling from shoulder height down toward the hip. ✔️ Builds that “V-taper” look ✔️ Improves lat tie-in to the waist ✔️ Better mind-muscle connection vs... show more

Why to rip slow rows: Greater lat engagement: -Tugging with a narrow grip and keeping your elbows tucked close to your torso allows for deeper shoulder extension, heavily targeting your latissimus dorsi for back thickness. Secondary activation: -Recruits your rhomboids, lower traps, biceps, and forearm flexors to assist with the pull and build arm strength. Joint-friendly pulling: Reduces stress on the shoulder joints compared to wide-flare variations by keeping your arms in a natural, neutral alignment path. Tempo and Control Benefits Increased time under tension: -Slowing down the eccentric (lowering) and concentric (pulling) phases forces muscle fibers to work harder for longer, stimulating better hypertrophy. Elimination of momentum: -Slowing the speed stops you from using your lower back or body English to jerk the weight, ensuring your target back muscles do the actual work. Better mind-muscle connection: -Taking extra seconds on each rep lets you consciously feel the squeeze at the peak contraction and control the stretch on the way back. Posture and Stability Core reinforcement: -Moving slowly requires a braced core to keep your torso stable throughout the full range of motion. Improved posture: -Strengthening the muscles that pull the shoulders down and back helps combat everyday slouching and postural rounding

Step-by-step: how to use breathwork to lower stress and boost focus. 1️⃣ Sit or lie down somewhere quiet and put your feet on the ground. 2️⃣ Start with 3 rounds of 5 deep breaths. Add 1 breath per day until you reach 3 rounds of 30. 3️⃣ Breathe like you just surfaced from underwater. Pull the diaphragm down. Fill the lungs from the bottom up. 4️⃣ During the breath hold, shift your focus to sounds and sensations around you. It keeps the mind calm and extends the hold naturally. 5️⃣ Do this consistently. Everyday. That’s it. Why it works: ✔️ Lowers cortisol ✔️ Resets the autonomic nervous system ✔️ Improves focus + energy ✔️ Builds stress resilience ✔️ Raises HRV naturally I promise you guys will feel the difference, trust me.

Don’t see enough love for Seal Rows on the timeline These are one of my favourite back exercises because your chest is supported, so you can’t use your lower back or swing the weight to cheat the rep Which means your upper back and lats have to do almost all of the work It’s one of the easiest rows to progress because every rep starts from the same position, making it much harder to fool yourself into thinking you’re getting stronger by using momentum Also this is hard to explain, maybe it’s just me, but seal rows have a completely different feel to any other row Even though the movement pattern is similar to a seated chest-supported row Lying face down changes the whole sensation It feels like you’re pulling the weight straight up into your body rather than back towards you It’s one of those exercises that just feels amazing lol Seal row supremacy

🏠 CHEST DAY – At-Home Execution Breakdown Chest doesn’t grow from reps. It grows from controlled tension. Today’s focus: activating both the clavicular head (upper chest) and sternal head (mid/lower chest) of the pec major while stabilizing through the anterior deltoids and triceps. 🔹 1. Dumbbell Flat Press 4–5 sets (bulk) / 3–4 sets (tone) 10–12 reps • Feet planted. • Shoulder blades retracted (pinch them into the bench). • Lower dumbbells 2–3 seconds until elbows hit ~90°. • Press up and slightly inward to increase pec engagement. • Do NOT lock elbows hard at the top — keep tension on chest. 👉 Cue: “Drive your biceps toward each other.” ⸻ 🔹 2. Incline Dumbbell Press Targets upper chest. • Bench at 30–45° (not too steep). • Keep chest lifted, ribs down. • Lower with control. • Press up on a slight arc — not straight vertical. 👉 If you feel it mostly in shoulders, lower the incline. ⸻ 🔹 3. Cable Chest Fly Isolation movement. • Set cables at mid-chest height. • Soft bend in elbows (don’t turn it into a press). • Stretch fully — let pec fibers lengthen. • Bring handles together and squeeze 1–2 seconds at midline. 👉 Think “hug a tree” not “push forward.” ⸻ 🔹 4. Chest Press Machine Controlled overload. • Keep lower back slightly arched. • Chest up. • Slow eccentric (3 sec down). • Drive through palms, not shoulders. 👉 Stop 1–2 reps before form breaks if bulking. 👉 Go to near failure if toning. ⸻ 🔹 5. Push-Up Finisher Burnout set. • Hands slightly wider than shoulders. • Lower chest to floor with control. • Core tight, glutes engaged. • Push until 1–2 reps shy of failure. ⸻ 📊 Programming Guide 🔸 Toning → 3–4 sets, 10–12 reps, last set near failure 🔸 Bulking → 4–5 sets, progressive overload weekly 🔸 Rest: 60–90 sec 🔸 Tempo: Control the negative. Explode the positive. Muscle responds to tension, not ego. If you train at home, there’s no excuse. Save this for your next chest day. If you want your at-home setup programmed specifically for YOUR physique goals, tap in.

3 common lat pulldown mistakes piers morgan is making: 1. He’s doing partial reps. By skipping the stretch at the top, he’s missing the most important part for muscle growth. 2. He’s not super well locked into the seat. That’s why his butt is popping up and down a bit. This instability means less stimulus on the back per rep. 3. I don’t think he’s pushing close enough to failure. Based on the fact that his reps didn’t start to grind (slow down) toward the end, he probably had at least 4 or 5 reps left. He’s still pushing himself though, and this is hard enough to build some muscle. Just not close enough to failure for maximum gains. 3 things he’s doing well: controlling the negative, driving his elbows down (to engage the lats) and not excessively swinging back and forth. This technique will definitely build muscle, and any training is better than no training 💪🏼

This exercise straightens our postures like no other. T3 Raises will pull your shoulder blades down naturally and give your upper back some much-needed support. I've never met somebody with pain or posture problems who could easily lift a weight above the ear. 🎯Twice a week Form: - One leg is forward, the same side as the arm holding the weight. - Keep your back straight by pushing your hips back and arching your back. - Hold your working arm at 90 degrees relative to your torso. - Slide your shoulder blade toward your spine. - Lift your arm above your ear. - Lower back to the 90-degree position, and repeat. Watch out for: - Rounding your back. - Sliding your shoulder blade up toward your neck instead of back toward your spine as compensation for weak rhomboids. - Bending your elbow when you lift as compensation for weak lower traps. - Not lifting the weight above your ear as many lack the strength and mobility to do so. Film yourself if you're not sure. // I learned this exercise from the great strength coach Charles Poliquin in 2010, and it's been a game changer for my clients and me ever since. Do your T3 Raises every week, and watch how your posture changes before your eyes.

The muscle group that makes men over 40 look old from behind: Rear delts. It's pretty easy to spot if this applies to you. Just stand side on in front of a mirror. You'll notice your shoulders will be rolled forward, likely your head is forward too, and your posture resembles something akin to Quasimodo. And you shouldn't be surprised. This is what happens after 25 years of pressing and desk work training the FRONT of your shoulder while the back of it did nothing. Every push you've ever done pulled your shoulders forward. Almost nothing you've done pulls them back into the socket. The fix I use (and recommend to clients too)? Seated single arm rear delt row with a high elbow and a roller squeezed between the knees. Why each piece matters: High elbow = this is what separates it from a normal row. Elbow travels out and up, in line with the rear delt fibers. Row with a tucked elbow and your lats take over. Lats are already strong. That's not the target. Seated + roller squeeze = pelvis anchored, ribs stacked, spine can't lean back to cheat the weight up. The rep comes from the shoulder, not momentum. No squeeze, and the lean-back creeps in by rep six. Single arm = most men over 40 have one shoulder blade that sits lower and works worse. Bilateral rows let the good side carry it. One arm at a time, the weak side gets found out and fixed. Cable = tension through the whole arc, including the stretched position in front of your body where the rear delt actually needs work. The rear delt pulls your arm back in line with your body. Train it and your shoulders sit where they did at 30. You'll find your shirts hang differently and you'll command a more assertive posture in board meetings and Zoom calls. Remember... User a lighter weight, high elbow and feel the back of the shoulder do the work. Most guys never have.

🚨 BTC IS STILL JUST PRINTING LOWER HIGHS 🚨 If 83k doesn't get reclaimed and held, this stays a bear trend, simple as that In that case I'm expecting another leg down toward 50k, playing out by November If it does reclaim and hold above 83k though, that's my cue to start buying back around 69k Every high since 126k has been lower than the one before it Nothing on this chart changes that until price actually proves it wrong I'll definitely let you know Be sure to followe me so you don't miss this

People today walk around with the stiffest hips, and the implications are disastrous. You set yourself up for chronic pain and bad posture for the rest of your life. Take control now before it's too late. These 10 stretches will free your hips from their misery: The best time to do these stretches is before bed, as you unload all the tension accumulated throughout the day and achieve a deeper sleep. 1 - Half Frog Stretch (0:06) 3 x 30-60s/side This one is excellent for your inner thighs and hip flexors. You also stretch your abdominals. 2 - Seated Crossed Leg Reach Forward Stretch (0:14) 3 x 30-60s This stretch also hits the lats that sit right above your hips. Some of you may be unable to reach forward with your legs crossed. The first milestone is to touch the floor with your hands and then slide them forward. 3 - Seated Pigeon Stretch (0:23) 3 x 30-60s/leg Today, one of my clients felt a massive pull just by crossing his leg and pushing down. Forget leaning forward! The goal is to bring your chest down to your leg while keeping your back straight. Push your hips back toward the wall behind you to lower your torso. 4 - Seated Glute Strech (0:32) 3 x 30-60s/leg The difference between this stretch and the Seated Pigeon is that you curl your upper back to lower your head to your leg. 5 - Lying Glute Stretch (0:43) 3 x 30-60s/leg Lying on your back with one leg crossed. Pull the other leg toward your chest and hold. 6 - Pigeon Stretch (0:52) 3 x 30-60s/leg This stretch never fails to open my clients' hips, though many will feel enough of a pull by simply crossing one leg. The goal is to reach forward and lower your torso parallel to the floor. 7 - Glute Bridge with External Rotation (1:00) 3 x 10-12/leg This one is great because you strengthen one leg and stretch the other. Due to a lack of strength or mobility, you might have to rotate with a bent leg before moving onto a straightened one. 8 - Frog Stretch (1:05) 3 x 30-60s The frog stretch is amazing for your inner thigh muscles. Start kneeling with your elbows on the floor and your feet pointing outward. Slide backward and hold. 9 - Crossed-Leg Glute Bridge (1:14) 3 x 30-60s/leg Here is another Glute Bridge variation where you strengthen one leg and stretch the other. You feel the hip opening up at the top, so hold it there and rotate your knee away from your body to increase the pull. 10 - V Stretch (1:23) 3 x 30-60s You can do this stretch with your legs up in the air or against a wall. // Start taking care of your hips now before they turn into stone. Reversing the stiffness becomes much more painful and takes much longer if you let it fester over the years. You'll feel much more relaxed and move smoother once you eliminate all the excess pressure.

Pushing Down the Mound Is Hurting Your Velocity The biggest mistake I see is guys trying to rotate by pushing. They try to push to create linear momentum down the mound. That’s the wrong way to go about it. When you push, it actually makes it harder to rotate. And rotation is where most of your velocity comes from. Hip to shoulder separation is responsible for a huge portion of pitching velocity. If you take away from that, you’re taking away from your velo. That’s why even from your knees, you can throw close to 80 percent of your top velocity. So the goal is to maximize rotation and create as much separation as possible. The pelvis fires toward the target while the rib cage, shoulders, and chest stay back. That stretch and torque is what propels your arm through.

#GainzDealerTipofTheDay Major Deadlift KEY👇 Sit “BACK” into the hips! ➡️ One of the most common deadlift mistakes I see in a lot of lifters is starting with the hips either too high or too low at the start of the lift. One of my favorite ways to remedy this is to sit back until you feel the load in your glutes. This will create an “anchor” with your hips and from there you call pull your chest up and push with your legs to initiate the lift. If the hips are in the right spot, it will feel like the weight is going to “leverage” itself right off the ground due to the tension felt in the glutes at this time. The hip height on this is going to look different on everyone depending on individual leverages, but the sensation and overall function of the cue will be the same. At the start of a deadlift, we want our hips at the highest they can be with our shoulders in line with the bar. This cue will help to accomplish that!

One of my favorite ways to remedy this is to sit back until you feel the load in your glutes. This will create an “anchor” with your hips and from there you call pull your chest up and push with your legs to initiate the lift. If the hips are in the right spot, it will feel like the weight is going to “leverage” itself right off the ground due to the tension felt in the glutes at this time. The hip height on this is going to look different on everyone depending on individual leverages, but the sensation and overall function of the cue will be the same. At the start of a deadlift, we want our hips at the highest they can be with our shoulders in line with the bar. This cue will help to accomplish that!

🚨RDL tip alert 🚨 This is one of my favorite movements. It’s simple but a lot of people struggle with execution. Some helpful cues: 1. Engage the lats! My favorite cue for this is to think about squeezing & holding an orange in ur armpit. You can see I engage the lats immediately when I lift the bar & they stay engaged the entire time 2. Break at the hips! The RDL is a hinge movement. You start the movement by pushing the hips/pelvis back & lowering the chest towards the floor. 3. Bend at the knees! This is primarily a glute/lower back & exercise with some hammies. For more hammies, u would do a straight leg deadlift (SLDL), which unlike the name suggests also requires a slight bend in the knees but not as much bend as an RDL 4. The bar stays touching/grazing the front of ur legs the entire time. The bar should slide along the thigh, over the knee, down to mid-shin. There should be no space between bar & leg. Engaging the lats prevents the bar from drifting away. 5. Do not go lower than mid shin. Notice the space between the plates & floor 6. Keep toes down! Feel the floor with the toes, do not lift or elevate the toes 6. Keep neutral neck/spine (I’m guilty of looking up or tucking the chin sometimes)

RDL at 70kg today. Nothing crazy, I've lifted more before. But no belt. No straps. First time ever. That's the part I'm happy about. Especially with my cranky lower back history. All the core and grip work finally paying off🥹 In my last video, where I broke down the hinge, some pushback showed up in the replies. Light weight is easy to make look clean. Fair. So here it is. Same lift, heavy for me. Yet the same control as always. Nothing about the pattern changed. Hips still travel back, spine stays long, the bar follows my legs because my hips moved, not because I bent toward the floor. Heavy weight doesn't break a good hinge, it just exposes a bad one. If the load rounds your back or your hands start pulling the bar up, you're not ready for that number yet. Simple. And it works the other way too. Never learned to hinge? Going light won't save you. Your lower back takes it at 10kg the same as it does at 70. You just feel it a bit later. Sort the pattern first. Then load it.
