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

Benefits of strengthening our shoulder blade muscles: - Improves your posture. - Relieves neck and shoulder stiffness. - Resolves chronic pain. - Increases push and pull power. Focus on these forgotten heroes for the rest of December. You'll feel and look different by the end of the year. Scapular imbalances are typical in my assessments of clients with chronic pain and posture problems. They have so little muscle mass and strength there that they can barely support their shoulder blades. One side is often way too strong compared to the other. It's normal to have a more dominant side, but too much of a difference will affect you negatively over time. Do 3-5 sets of these exercises twice a week: - DB = Dumbbell. - BW = Body weight. - Rest 60s between exercises. - Rest 48-72 hours between workouts. - All exercises can be done without equipment. Week 1 and Week 3 Day 1 1 - DB Side-Lying External Rotations, 10-12 reps/arm (0:02) 2 - DB Bent-Over Scapular Retractions, 10-12 reps/arm (0:07) Day 2 3 - Unilateral DB T3 Raises, 10-12 reps/arm (0:12) 4 - Bench-Supported Reverse Flys, 10-12 reps (0:16) Week 2 and Week 4 Day 3 5 - Cable Standing 90 Degree External Rotation, 15-20 reps/arm (0:22) 6 - Standing Scapular Retraction, 15-20 reps with a 3s hold each rep (0:27) Day 4 7 - Lying Prone Y Raises, 10-12 reps with a 3s hold at the top of each rep (0:31) 8 - Bent-Over Reverse Fly, 15-20 reps (0:37) // I often discuss these exercises on my timeline because they have helped so many of my clients over the years. Focus on your shoulder blade muscles, and watch your body transform for the new year.

Getting in extra reps at the end of the workout!! Stay Stronk!! The incline press, typically done with dumbbells or a barbell at a 15–45 degree angle, targets the upper pectorals, shoulders, and triceps, making it superior for building upper chest volume. Proper form requires a 30° angle, neutral wrists, controlled lowering to the upper chest, and avoiding excessive back arching. #strengthtraining #gaybear

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 below

🏠 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.

Here’s my controversial opinion why you technically don’t need reps near failure for driving serious muscle hypertrophy This training style truly isn’t for everyone. It’s for the few that are obsessed with getting as big as humanly possible especially for those who have made the decision to stay natty. I have other traditional bodybuilding programs, let me know in the comments if you would like a structured program that uses a more foundational approach I’ll send you a free week. The low rep stuff is what I use, and I like to talk about it, but it’s not even close to the only program or training method I use for others. The people who say it takes too long have never tried this style of training The people who say it takes too long are wrongfully assuming you’re lifting weight that is so heavy you need 3-5 minutes between sets to recover. There are many ways to recruit high threshold motor units, and for hypertrophy doing 7-9 reps to build up fatigue so that the last 2-3 reps your body is forced to recruit these motor units might be the absolute worst way to recruit them The easiest way is to add more weight, then add the effort into the concentric phase of the reps. This way you don’t need reps near failure, and by not needing to train so close to failure, you’re able to repeat sets quicker. Some sets as soon as 30 seconds, some later or last top sets up to 2-3 minutes Regardless, when you use this method you are trading junk volume for meaningful reps. You’re also managing your time in the gym around this concept to cut out all the other exercises you normally have to do This is why people finish these sessions in 75 min or so. If you start a free week of a low rep set program just click the link in bio to start. When you do start, don’t look at just the numbers, the coaching notes are where the most value is when you start the session

it’s been a while since I’ve updated you on my workouts, but here we are and we’re back with a leg workout! I’m only weight training 4 days a week for about 45 min each sesh because you don’t need more than this to get results! my students also follow this method and get results faster than training 5-6 days per week🙌🏼 I do 3 leg sessions per week + 1 upper body. I usually only do between 4-5 movements each leg day since I’m already doing a good amount of volume doing legs so frequently! Here’s my workout: -leg press (quad focused) 4 sets by 12 reps (feet closer together towards the center of the platform help you target your quads better) -quad extension 3 sets by 12 reps -seated hamstring curl 3 sets by 12 reps -glute med cable kickback 3 sets by 12 reps (i like to have the cable notch at mid shin so im really able to focus on the upper glute. with my working foot on the angle and toes pointed outward, it actually increases the abduction component) -standing calf raises 3 sets by 12 reps (i have never truthfully trained calves consistently ever i always start and then stop because it feels pointless but it’s 2026 and we aren’t neglecting muscle groups so here’s my accountability lol) 💙I’m wearing the new Buffbunny Collection halo long sleeve ‘Rio blue’ in size medium / code Miranda will save you 10% 💙always fueling my workouts with my @c4energy creatine bc otherwise i won’t remember to drink it 🙈 #legworkout #fitness #legday #gluteworkout #women f

First MAX PULL UP test since dabbling with new training ideas Been doing a lot of reps at 5-8 Slow & controlled + weighted Here’s what today’s test taught me NEED MORE: -I’ll need more SPEED in my reps if I’m going to set a personal best (30+) -More weighted work will be good -Continue to stack MORE VOLUME OF SETS per day (or wk) -The rep range I’m doing has been working GREAT for form during the reps

How I currently leg press to maximize hypertrophy 🤓 1. No quarter or half repping with tons of weight with your feet high up like a BITCH 2. Choose a weight you can take through a comfortable but reasonably deep range of motion 3. Move feet low enough to have deep but comfortable dorsiflexion (toe stretch to shin) 4. Execute a range of motion that stretches the quads but keeps the tension on them through the entire rep, for me this is when I feel light pressure between my calves and hamstring (I could technically let the weight squish me to such a point that my own hamstring and body are removing tension at the bottom 5. Lay hands on knees for a totally useless safety blanket (ok half serious I do think perceived stability neurologically increases large motor unit recruitment regardless of or in tangent with actual stability but this is just a working theory I have 6. Embrace pain feel sadge For Rep schemes personally I think (after warming up) a heavy first working set 5-10 reps 1-2 reps shy of failure to maximize large motor unit recruitment followed by 1-3 lighter sets within 1-3 reps of failure of 12-15 reps works best because lighter sets following a heavy first set seems to offset the fall-off in strength for the second set due to contrast overcompensation of the muscles (think about how after a heavy set the next set FEELS lighter and often you can take the second set FURTHER) it’s almost like having 2 first sets!

Embrace pain feel sadge For Rep schemes personally I think (after warming up) a heavy first working set 5-10 reps 1-2 reps shy of failure to maximize large motor unit recruitment followed by 1-3 lighter sets within 1-3 reps of failure of 12-15 reps works best because lighter sets following a heavy first set seems to offset the fall-off in strength for the second set due to contrast overcompensation of the muscles (think about how after a heavy set the next set FEELS lighter and often you can take the second set FURTHER) it’s almost like having 2 first sets!

Bench press PR today 💪 225 lbs. 1x5 Today was an awesome day in the gym - finally got 2 plates on bench press for 5 reps. Big gains over my rough day in the gym yesterday. This officially completes my quest for the Standards 1.0 @ 5 reps. I will now accept my hyper-trophy 🏆 at any time. Not every day is going to be a win, but if you’re consistent and you keep showing up, and you fix your form, the gains will come. May the Lord be praised! #Barbell #StrengthTraining #Dominion

The exercise that changed my life: The low back extension. I used to deal with chronic low back pain in my 20s and 30s. Part of my protocol was using the McGill Big 3 (bird dog, McGill Crunch, side planks) to strengthen the supportive muscles around the low back. I then used the back extension to strengthen the hips, glutes, and low back. Just a word of warning: Overextending your low back on this machine will make things worse. Activate from the hips and glutes and don't go past activation. 2-3 sets of 6-10 reps are enough to keep my low back strong, healthy, and pain free.

Last Friday I made a ten lb jump on my deadlift and I wasn’t ready. Coach had me go back to 245 Monday and this morning the weight moved so much better. In fact I feel like this was my best set on Deadlift since starting. I lost count of my reps and got six in my 1x5 set.😤🔥💪🏻

A new 2025 study squashed the idea that more volume increases growth, and suggested that the available growth reps in a set might just be the final four:⠀ ⠀ Trained lifters did 3-5RM on one leg and 20-25RM on the other for 9 weeks: both to failure.⠀ ⠀ Results?⠀ ⠀ Same hypertrophy. Same strength.⠀ ⠀ Only real difference: light loads improved endurance.⠀ ⠀ Why?⠀ ⠀ Because growth only happens in the final 4 reps when full motor recruitment finally kicks in.⠀ ⠀ Heavy loads reach those reps instantly.⠀ ⠀ Light loads need 15-20 junk reps just to get there.⠀ ⠀ More volume doesn’t mean more growth.⠀ ⠀ Only the stimulating reps count, and every set, heavy or light, only has about four of them.⠀ ⠀ If there were 6 stimulating reps in a set, even 5, we would have seen a difference in hypertrophy between the limbs.⠀ ⠀ This is a magnificent success for my agenda of 4-6 rep supremacy.⠀ ⠀ PMID: 40827709
