Bro, don’t sleep on your pelvic floor. Kegels aren’t just for women. If you want better pelvic strength, more control, and stronger contractions, this is one exercise worth adding to your routine. A few controlled reps every day can go a long way.

Every muscle in the human body grows from progressive mechanical tension. Except, apparently, the abs. Abs uniquely require: - 100 reps a session - Bodyweight only - No tracking, no progression - A different "core circuit" every workout for "muscle confusion" - Done at the end when you can barely stand up - Followed by a plank for the soul The rectus abdominis evolved on a different planet from every other skeletal muscle. While your chest, back and quads respond to heavy load through a working range, your abs respond to chaos, exhaustion, and a sequence of crunches named after a celebrity. Or you could do weighted crunches for 4-6 reps, add a kilo a fortnight, and watch them grow like every other muscle in your body. But that would require admitting the abs are just a muscle, and the fitness industry would lose an entire genre of content.

I’ll say this one last time barbell curls are one of the best exercises for training your biceps. They let you load the biceps properly, build strength, and progressively increase the weight over time. Just keep your form controlled and don’t turn every rep into a full-body swing.

Got you 🔥 This is that classic "before vs after" ab circui 1. *4 moves. 3x20. No excuses.* Your abs aren't built in the kitchen alone. Show up. 2. *The abs you want are hiding under the work you're avoiding.* 3x20 each. Save this and start 3. *Core shredder: 4 exercises, 3 rounds of 20* 4. *Stop doing 1000 crunches. Do this instead 👇* 4 movements that actually hit the whole core. 3x2 🔥🔥

A recent post circulating from Andrew Huberman claims that low reps don’t build muscle and that high reps are necessary for muscle growth. However, this doesn’t align with the data I’ve studied. At the core of muscle building is the principle of overload and pushing your muscles close to failure. It’s often said you should leave about one rep “in the tank” — though this can be tricky to gauge. In my training routine, I start with warm-ups, then perform 1-2 intense sets before moving on. Each muscle group is worked 2-3 times per week. Now, consider this: can doing 12-20 half-hearted reps truly build more muscle than a few well-executed, heavy sets? The answer is clear—quality and intensity triumph over mere quantity. Support this page by shopping at Tiger Fitness !

When you train in the 10-12 rep range, most of your reps have no direct effect on growth. When you train in the 4-6 range, virtually all of your reps are growth reps. Both ranges can build muscle. The mechanism doesn't care about the rep count. It cares about how close you get to true failure on the reps where the high-threshold motor units are recruited and every available fibre is firing. Those are the stimulating reps. Everything else is filler. The catch with 10-12 is twofold. First, only the last 4-5 reps in a 12-rep set are actually stimulating. The first seven are buffer. They generate fatigue, lactic acid, and joint wear that the muscle has to push through before any growth signal arrives. Effort, yes. Stimulus, no. Second, and this is where the high-rep crowd quietly come undone: the long set produces so much afferent feedback (burning, gasping, the legs giving a small philosophical speech) that almost nobody actually takes the set to true failure. They stop two, three, sometimes four reps short, mistake the discomfort for the limit, and call it a hard set. The stimulating reps they were chasing never showed up. A set of 6 doesn't allow that confusion. Failure is mechanical. The weight either moves or it doesn't. No interpretive dance required. You'll grow on 10-12. You'll grow more on 4-6, with less joint wear, less recovery debt, and considerably less guesswork. One range tolerates your mistakes. The other doesn't have room for them.

If the weight, reps, or sets aren't increasing over time, you're not training. You're exercising. Training has direction. Exercise is just movement. "But I'm working really hard!" Working hard at the same load you used 6 months ago isn't training. It's maintenance. Your body adapts to stimulus. Once adapted, there's no reason to grow further. You must provide novel stimulus: - More weight - More reps at same weight - More sets (carefully) - Better form at same load Something must improve or you're spinning your wheels. "I can't always progress!" Then you're doing too much volume or training too frequently relative to your recovery capacity. You should be able to progress something every 2-3 weeks at minimum. If you're stuck: - Reduce volume to increase recovery - Focus on one lift to prioritise - Check if you're actually eating enough You can't build muscle without building strength over time. The two are correlated at the individual level. If your lifts aren't going up over months, neither is your muscle mass. Track everything. Compare to last month. Progress or adjust. Training without progression is just going to the gym.

If you have lagging Arms and bringing them up to par is your TOP PRIORITY… I’d recommend doing something like this each week: Upper A • 2-3 sets of “The GREATEST Triceps exercise known to man” • 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 Upper B (Performed 3-4 days after Upper A) • 2-3 sets of Dip Machine • 2-3 sets of Machine or Cable Preacher Curls • 2-3 sets of “The GREATEST Triceps exercise known to man” OR Machine or Cable Overhead Extensions • 2-3 sets of Hammer Grip Curls w/ Upper Arm Support This will result in you doing somewhere between 8-12 sets of direct Bicep and Tricep work per week Low likelihood you need any more volume than that to improve your Arms 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: Dip Machine subbed for Weighted Dips - I probably forgot something that I should’ve mentioned…if I think of it I’ll drop it in the post below

Every dad should have a home gym. - Teaches your kids training is a normal part of life - Date night with your wife in your home gym - Kids eventually get to train with you - It's an incredibly fun hobby - More time with your kids - Removes training excuses - No waiting on equipment - No membership fees - No commute I think for many, starting with a small home setup while keeping their gym membership is the way to go. Slowly transition to home gym maximalism.

Strong hip flexors keep your knee drive holding up when the late-race fatigue sets in. The kettlebell hip flexor march is a running-specific way to train them. Single leg, upright, knee driving up with load. Focus points: → Stand tall on one leg → Place a light kettlebell on top of the opposite foot → Brace your core before you lift → Drive the knee up to 90°, hold the kettlebell balanced → Lower slow and controlled, don't let the foot touch down between reps → Stay tall through the standing leg, no leaning back 3 x 8-12 per leg. Aim for RPE 7. The standing leg gets a stability challenge. The driving leg gets loaded hip flexion. And your shin works isometrically to keep the kettlebell from sliding off. Bonus tib anterior work most runners never train.

$There is not a muscle on the body that needs high reps to see its best growth. This is basic physiology. Yes, muscles vary in their ratio of slow to fast twitch fibres. It doesn't matter, for two reasons: 1. Slow twitch fibres reach their ceiling early. They are not the limiting factor. 2. As you approach failure, every fibre is recruited regardless. The body does not leave capacity sitting idle when it thinks it's about to fail. Here is what actually drives hypertrophy: involuntary slow contractions. The point in a set where the concentric is grinding, the bar speed is dropping, and the muscle is being forced to recruit everything it has just to complete the rep. That is mechanical tension. That is the growth signal. It only exists in the final five or so reps before failure. Everything before that is your body coasting on the fibres it was already using. Some muscles tolerate high reps better than others. Calves are the classic example. But tolerating junk reps is not the same as benefiting from them. It just means the damage is less visible. The reps are still junk. If you are living in the 8-plus rep range, most of your set is happening nowhere near that zone of involuntary contraction. You are accumulating fatigue, impairing recovery, reducing training frequency, and spending more time under the bar: in exchange for a growth stimulus you could have captured in a fraction of the reps. More reps past the point of failure proximity is not more stimulus. It is just more cost.$

Everything I do that the training orthodoxy officially forbids: - Four to six reps for everything, back to biceps, no rep-range variety - Two or three hard sets per exercise, then I stop - No arm day. The arms get a little work, often, and grow fine - No slow negatives. Down under control, then drive it up - Abs trained with added weight and low reps, like a normal muscle - The Smith machine, on purpose, without shame - Fasted, first thing, no pre-workout anything - No deloads, no muscle confusion, no periodised misery - In and out inside the hour, a few days a week Every item on that list is a heresy to somebody with a certification and a supplement discount code. The muscle has read none of the certifications. It responds to load and goes home.
