If you want to actually train your Chest as efficiently/effectively as possible instead of WASTING YOUR TIME…. I’d recommend doing something like this each week: Upper A - Incline (Clavicular Pecs) Machine Press x 2-3 Sets - Pec Fly Machine x 2-3 Sets Upper B (Performed 3-4 days after... Upper A) - Flat/Seated (Sternal Pecs) Machine Press x 2-3 Sets - Seated Low to High Cable Flys x 2-3 Sets This will result in you doing somewhere between 8-12 sets of direct Chest work per week Low likelihood you need any more volume than that to improve your Chest mightily if following the notes below: 1) The ideal rep range to be using when performing the exercises mentioned is the 5ish to 10ish rep range — Choose a weight you can do for 5, 6, 7 reps @ 0-2 RIR…once you can do that weight for 8, 9, 10ish reps, increase the load by 5ish pounds 2) You should perform all reps of all the listed exercises with a controlled (but not overly slow) eccentric and an explosive (but still controlled) concentric 3) You should perform these exercises very early in your workout to ensure they are as efficient/effective as possible — If you perform them later on, you will not get as robust a growth stimulus from the sets because of the outstanding fatigue that will be present from the earlier sets/exercises in your workout Additional notes: - You may sub any of these exercises for comparable exercises due to preferences and/or equipment availability — Ex: Flat/Seated Machine Press subbed for Flat Smith Machine Bench Press or Flat Barbell Bench Press - I probably forgot something that I should’ve mentioned…if I think of it I’ll drop it in the post belowshow more

I’ve got a MUCH better idea for growing you arm muscles: • 2-3 sets of Incline Cable Tricep Push-Downs • 2-3 sets of Supinated Grip Curls w/ Upper Arm Support • 2-3 sets of Machine or Cable Overhead Extensions • 2-3 sets of Hammer Grip Curls w/ Upper Arm Support Then, 3-4 days later…. • 2-3 sets of Dip Machine • 2-3 sets of Machine or Cable Preacher Curls • 2-3 sets of Incline Cable Tricep Push-Downs OR Machine or Cable Overhead Extensions • 2-3 sets of Hammer Grip Curls w/ Upper Arm Support All sets taken to 0-1 RIR in the 5-10ish rep range with good-great technique Do this for 3-5 years and your arms will be JACKED

Here’s EVERYTHING you need to know about warm up sets: Most people are doing warm up sets ALL wrong and they’re costing themselves from an efficiency/effectiveness standpoint as a result Warm ups are designed to A) guard against injury B) prepare you for your working sets Warm up sets should NEVER be taken in close proximity to failure…most should see you leaving 6, 7, 8+ reps in reserve (the lone exception to this = sets performed for 1-2 reps @ ~90+ of your intended working weight) This is in STARK CONTRAST to working sets which should all end around 0-2 RIR You probably need about ~2 warm up sets before your first exercise or two depending on the specifics of your programming Here is an example of a typical warm up protocol: - a 5-10 minute brisk walk on the treadmill (optional) - 50% of your working weight on your first exercise for ~12 reps (mandatory) - 75% of your working weight on your first exercise for ~6 reps (mandatory) - 90% of your working weight on your first exercise for ~2 reps (optional) After you complete the working sets for your first exercise, you may want to repeat the last 3 steps prior to performing your next exercise IF it is an antagonist exercise (Ex: Lat Pull-Down after Sternal Pecs Machine Press OR Seated Leg Curls after Hack Squats) After that, you probably don’t need any additional warm up sets unless you are just using them as “primers” (sets to make sure your movement pattern / the machine settings / etc. are on point) - If doing a PUSH workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise only (assuming it’s a multi joint movement) - If doing a PULL workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise only (assuming it’s a multi joint movement) - If doing an UPPER workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise and 1-2 warm up sets before my second exercise (assuming they’re antagonist multi joint movements) - If doing an LOWER workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise and 1-2 warm up sets before my second exercise (assuming they’re antagonist multi joint movements) - If doing a FULL BODY workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise, 1-2 warm up sets before my second exercise, and may even 1-2 warm up sets before my third and fourth exercises as well (assuming they’re all multi joint movements — antagonist push/pull movements for both upper & lower) (As you can see, the major downside of FULL BODY workouts is often the excess warm up time needed — this is why they work best for beginners much of the time) General rule of thumb: If your first set of an exercise is NOT your best set of that exercise in terms of performance (assuming we equate RIR), you are NOT warming up properly You should see a fall off in performance as sets transpire on a given exercise…this is a feature, not a bug of productive/effective resistance exercise WHEN WARMED UP PROPERLY

How to choose the right weight for your working sets in the gym - You can weight select on a set by set basis - If you’re hitting or exceeding the high end of the rep range, you can/should increase the load even if this means it doesn’t stay uniform on a given day - If you’re falling below or you believe you’re in danger of falling below the low end of the rep range, you can/should decrease the load even if this means it doesn’t stay uniform on a given day - Weight does NOT have to stay uniform across your sets of a given exercise on a given day but you should have a good reason for adding or reducing load Ideal rep range = 5-10ish All sets should end as a result of you hitting failure or your RIR prescription (0-2ish) Is this the ONLY way to train effectively? NO! Is it the most efficient/effective way? YES…or very close

Hanging leg raises are one of my favourite exercises to build core strength But if you can’t hang or are building up to the hanging variation You can do lying leg raises where you anchor your hands behind your (with straight arms) below heavy dumbbells for example The idea is to press up against the dumbbells with your hands while keeping your (lower) back flat on the ground at all time Your feet don’t touch the ground between reps Perform slow and controlled If straight legs are too hard tuck your knees to your chest 2-3 sets to failure

KNOWLEDGE DROP When to increase/decrease weight in the gym: - You can weight select on a set by set basis - If you’re hitting or exceeding the high end of the target rep range, you can/should increase the load even if this means it doesn’t stay uniform on a given day - If you’re falling below or you believe you’re in danger of falling below the low end of the target rep range, you can/should decrease the load even if this means it doesn’t stay uniform on a given day - Weight does NOT have to stay uniform across your sets of a given exercise on a given day but you should have a good reason for adding or reducing load Ideal rep range = 5-10ish All sets should end as a result of you hitting failure or your RIR prescription (0-2ish) Is this the ONLY way to train effectively? NO! Is it the most efficient/effective way? YES…or very close

🏠 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.

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.

You can trick your body to lift more than you normally can Because of this, I do it every session on my personal training, which I’ve shared through my Super Set program. It’s called Post Action Potentiation (PAP) and it’s a temporary state where your muscles and nervous system are activated and operated in a heightened state It’s all about ramping up to reach this state and I use 3 steps to get there. Stage 1: bodybuilding exercises, low effort and longer durations. Think bicep curls, reverse flys sets of 12-20. Perfect for the first exercise/set scheme of the day. But it’s not enough to get to that true state of potentiation. We need more. Stage 2: You’ve got some blood flowing, you’re warm up and starting your primary exercise of the day like bench press. Your warm up sets are ramping up with low to moderate weight paired with high effort. This starts really recruiting those bigger stronger type II motor units. Remember you don’t need the reps near failure to recruit type II motor units, you just need effort. Stage 2 is great but we can go even deeper Stage 3: These are the working sets. You are pairing heavier weight with high effort. The magic is doing it without taking on fatigue. My programming and coaching notes guide you. Each set sets you up for the next, allowing you to end on a max set of some kind. Then every exercise and set after that you’re able to lift more than normal. You’ve reached this state of potentiation and you ride the wave down Super Sets uses 2 more secondary strength exercises followed by single joint bodybuilding exercises. We squeeze the juice completely The training split for Super Sets is one muscle group per day, you can run it 4-7 times per week.

Strong Glutes stabilize our lower backs and make us more powerful. Your long sitting hours deprive them of energy, making you vulnerable to chronic pain and instability. Training them is a must in this day and age. This Glute-boosting routine unleashes their potential: The strategic pauses during the exercises are magic for the growth and strengthening of your body's most powerful muscles. You'll get the best results if you use weights. Day 1: Squats [3 or 4 sets of 10 to 12 with a 3s pause at the bottom of each rep] Go as low as your body allows Unilateral Hip Bridge, Foot Elevated [3 or 4 sets of 10 to 12 with a 3s pause at the top of each rep] *Do these flat if you lack the strength to elevate your foot.* Cossack Squats [ [3 or 4 sets of 10 to 12 with a 3s pause at the bottom of each rep] Day 2 (48-72 hours later) Drop Reverse Lunges [ 3 or 4 sets of 10 to 12 reps/leg with a 3s pause at the bottom of each rep] Unilateral Hip Thrusts [ 3 or 4 sets of 10 to 12 reps/leg with a 3s pause at the top of each rep] Side Lunges [ 3 or 4 sets of 10 to 12 reps/leg] Enjoy the power and postural benefits of stronger glutes. You won't regret putting in the effort. Enjoy!

Here’s a killer At-Home Lowerbody workout 💥 For warmup, start with 3 sets of walking lunges and then proceed to 2 sets of body weight goblet squats. •Working Sets: Goblet squats : 3 sets of 12- 15 reps (for the foot placement if you have access to a weight plate, that’s most preferred. I only had small dumbbells). Jump squats (4 sets of 10 reps) superset straight into, wall-sits (4 sets of 30 second holds). Romanian deadlift (3 sets of 12-15 reps) superset straight into body weight, Good-mornings (3 sets of 15 reps, if you have access to barbells or weight bags you can add weight for maximum intensity) Sumo squat : 3-4 sets of 15 reps. If you have access to a variety of weights, incorporate progressive overload on every exercise by increasing weight with each set up to your heaviest. Also make sure to control your reps on both the concentric and eccentric movement for the utmost strain. For more fitness content check my fitness page on IG

Example of a true working set... You’re probably doing way more sets than you need Trust me ⁠ Back in high school and college, I would lift 7 days a week, doing anywhere from 30 to 50 sets per day I used to think those 30-50 sets were the key to growth, but over time, I realized that most of those weren’t true working sets ⁠ Here’s the thing... If you can do 4 sets of 8 reps with the same weight each set, you’re probably not pushing yourself hard enough A true working set should leave you near failure within the target rep range ⁠ For example, let’s say your plan calls for 2 sets of 6-8 reps After a few warm up sets, you try 135 lbs and hit 8 reps, but you know you could have done 6 more That’s still a warm up set since you’re not reaching failure in the 6-8 rep range You’d then go up to 145 lbs and aim to fail around 6-8 reps If 145 still feels too light, that’s another warm up set You keep going up in weight until you find the load that challenges you to fail within that 6-8 range If you don’t have a spotter, leaving one or two reps in the tank is okay ⁠ This is where true muscle growth happens, by pushing close to your limit Sleep and diet is actually where muscle growth occurs but you never push yourself hard enough in the gym and give your body a reason to grow, hypertrophy will never happen The gym is just the stimulus to give the muscle a reason to grow We then get bigger through sleep and diet ⁠ Back to the working sets... For example, in the video, I hit 540 lbs for 8 reps on this hack squat Looking back, I feel I had one or two reps left, but it’s a solid starting point and it was a new PR for me at the time The next week, I would aim for 540 for 9-10 reps or bump up the weight to 545-550 and try to hit 8 reps aka progressive overload ⁠ I typically keep my quad and hamstring workouts separate and do only about 4-7 sets per muscle group, but each set is intense, and I’m struggling by the last few reps on each set ⁠ Give this approach a shot, and I promise you won’t need nearly as many sets as you think

The biggest leak in many people's postures is the rear muscles of the legs. They should be powerful, but long-seated days drain their strength and leave you without vital support. These 4 exercises will patch the leak. Do one 2x/week and watch your posture rise again: 1 - Lying Hyperextension (0:05) 3 x 8-10 This variation is a great place to start. - Lying on your stomach. - Lift both legs off the floor as high as possible without swinging. - Hold for 3 seconds at the top 2 - Bench Hyperextension (0:12) 3 x 8-10 This variation is great because you get a better stretch than on the floor. You can use the end of a couch or the corner of your bed instead of a bench. 3 - Bench Frog Hyperextension (0:18) 3 x 8-10 The Frog variation has both of your feet flat against each other. This position changes how your muscles execute the motion. Your glutes and hamstrings work more intensely. 4 - Weighted Bench Hyperextensions (0:24) 3 x 8-10 Add weight once you are comfortable enough to do full sets of the bodyweight variation. You'll get much better results. Your glutes and hamstrings will respond kindly and provide more postural support. // Keeping your Glutes and Hamstrings strong is essential to withstand the 21st century. Use the exercises above to protect your posture and quality of life.

Sets per muscle group: - For balanced development, you’re going to want to perform 5, 6, 7, 8ish sets per body part per week - If prioritizing a muscle group, you’re going to want to perform 8, 9, 10, MAYBE 10+ sets for that body part each week - If deprioritizing a muscle group, you only need 2, 3, 4ish sets for that body part each week to maintain existing development Obviously, if you are training a muscle group 2x per week (which you probably should be) you would just half these figures and you’d have your average per session volume — NOTE: It does not have to be a perfectly even split is spreading the work across 2 sessions
