The Wide Grip Lat Pull-Down is one of the BEST Lat exercises there is Few exercises even come close to it for building the Lats My execution tips: - drive elbows toward hips/pockets - don’t overextend at the top - keep chest tall - set the thigh pads so there is as small a gap between the pads & your thighs as possible - move the concentric explosively (but make sure you still have control of the load) - control the eccentric (2-3 seconds is probably good) PS…Setup and execution matter much more than feeeeeeeel

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The neutral-grip lat pulldown is by far my favorite variation. I'm able to connect best with it - try to keep shoulders pinned down (think: keep shoulders away from ears) - intentionally reach up on the eccentric (but be sure to keep load on lats) - drive elbows into hips, DONT think: "I need to pull this bar down" - I like to pretend my entire lat is a 3 inch piece of string that goes from the top of my lat to the very top of my arm, and just try to contract that small area (see picture)

Both parts of a rep matter. Every lift has two key phases: • The concentric when the muscle shortens as you lift or push the weight. • The eccentric when the muscle lengthens as you lower it under control. Most people only focus on the lift itself, but the eccentric is where much of the real progress happens. During the lowering phase, your muscles are resisting the weight as they lengthen. This creates higher tension which is one of the key drivers for muscle growth. Think about a press movement. If you just let the weight drop back down, you’re skipping the part of the rep that does the most work. If you only train until you can’t push it up, you’ve hit concentric failure but there’s still growth potential in the eccentric if you control it. Control the weight. Don’t let it control you. That’s how you actually build muscle.

Use these tips to PERFECT your 45° Extensions and BULLETPROOF your Lower Back/Hamstrings/Glutes: 1) Set pad height so the top is at the base of your pelvis — this will give the hips freedom to move/ensure range of motion isn’t restricted 2) Neutral neck/spine — keep gaze fixed straight ahead 3) Bend at the waist 4) ROM ends at bottom just prior to back rounding (NO dynamic movement of the spine i.e. flexion) 5) Keep legs as straight as possible if you’re trying to bias Hams….bent knees encouraged if trying to bias Glutes 6) Bias will also depend angle of the base (steeper is more Hams…less steep is more Glutes) 7) Turn toes out so they’re at maybe 60° if trying to bias the Glutes…keep closer to 90° if trying to bias Hams 8) The pulley/plate loaded machine setup provides the best potential for loading but if you don’t have access to that, hold a plate AT YOUR HEAD to load this exercise or with your arms extended (as long as it doesn’t bottom out ROM too early)…if the weight you can hold isn’t enough, rock with single leg 9) As always, control the eccentric and act explosively (while still maintaining control) on the concentric 10) Refrain from HYPEREXTENDING at the top…just reach hip extension and start your descent 11) 5ish to 10ish rep range @ 0-2 RIR is ideal…1-3ish sets 1-2ish x per week

If you want to build your Chest… You should WATCH THIS VIDEO! Notice: - Controlled eccentric - Explosive (but still controlled) concentric - Continuous tempo (no camping out at the top) - Ideal ROM - Close in proximity to failure THIS is how your Chest Presses SHOULD look!!!

Tips to help you PERFECT the exercise that many are calling: “The ULTIMATE replacement for Deadlifts” 1) Set pad height so the top is at the base of your pelvis — this will give the hips freedom to move/ensure range of motion isn’t restricted 2) Neutral neck/spine — keep gaze fixed straight ahead 3) Bend at the waist 4) ROM ends at bottom just prior to back rounding (NO dynamic movement of the spine i.e. flexion) 5) Keep legs as straight as possible if you’re trying to bias Hams….bent knees encouraged if trying to bias Glutes 6) Bias will also depend angle of the base (steeper is more Hams…less steep is more Glutes) 7) Turn toes out so they’re at maybe 60° if trying to bias the Glutes…keep closer to 90° if trying to bias Hams 8) The pulley/plate loaded machine setup provides the best potential for loading but if you don’t have access to that, hold a plate AT YOUR HEAD to load this exercise or with your arms extended (as long as it doesn’t bottom out ROM too early)…if the weight you can hold isn’t enough, rock with single leg 9) As always, control the eccentric and act explosively (while still maintaining control) on the concentric 10) Refrain from HYPEREXTENDING at the top…just reach hip extension and start your descent 11) 5ish to 10ish rep range @ 0-2 RIR is ideal…1-3ish sets 1-2ish x per week

🏠 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.

Pull-Ups vs. Lat Pull-Down: For muscle growth in the Lats, give me a well-built Lat Pull-Down over a Pull-Up Bar any day of the week There are 2 key reasons for this: 1) Greater stability….obviously this has become a bit of a meme but it does matter for hypertrophy 2) The Lat Pull-Down setup will afford you the ability to manipulate body position to better bias the Lats FWIW, I don’t think the gap in terms of effect size/outcome is all that large here but I do think it exists

Romanian Deadlift cues/tips ⬇️ 1) Keep chest up and imagine you’re trying to push your arse towards the wall behind you. 2) It’s all in the hips (Imagine hands are full as you try to close the door behind you with your arse) 3) Control your eccentric enough so you enter the “lengthened” range of your hamstrings/glutes in control…don’t just drop into it. 4) Use loads that’s appropriate to do the above…don’t turn this into a partial conventional deadlift. 5) You’ll need straps at some point as your posterior chain strength will far outpace your grip strength. A movement that takes time/practice for everyone in my experience.

form tips👇🏻 •have a slight bend in your knees & hinge at your hips •as you do, engage your lats & core •control the negative & work the range of motion your body allows •focus on sitting back in your heels and feeling your hamstrings pull the weight up

Upperbody control is necessary as you transition as a DB. Don’t stress out your feet by excessive movement up top. Also, the ground is not your friend…. Stop looking at him More great tips in my book 101 DB Tips - Click the link in the bio

Life is largely out of your control. You can't fully control what happens to you, you can't control what life throws at you. But the one thing you can control is what you think. That one thing is the difference between becoming a superhero & staying average like everyone else.

This is what separates average guards from ELITE guards 🔥 Change of pace is the real superpower. It lets you control your defender, control the tempo, and play the game on your terms. Most players let the defense decide how they move, elite guards make the defense react to them

This is the best stretch on the planet that no one is doing. It's called the World's Greatest Stretch. Move #1 - The forearm to instep exercise stretches out your hips and adductors. Move #2 - The thoracic windmill helps open up your chest and activate your upper back. Move #3 - The push back stretches out your calves and hamstrings. Do this for 6-8 reps before a workout or between desk sessions. Your hips and back will thank you.
