Which is the absolute best leg machine for quads growth? The ideal machine should allow for maximizing knee flexion, be hardest at the bottom where the quads are most stretched, be super stable AND ideally limit hip extension to minimize glute involvement. Which machine could that be? #fyp #fitness #gym #bodybuilding #tiktoktaughtme

While some people will have no problem pressing in their frontal plane, if you’re sensitive to shoulder pain while shoulder pressing, I recommend pressing in your scapular or (if you’re using the neutral grip on a machine shoulder pressing) even saggital plane in front of your body #fyp #fitness #gym #bodybuilding

If you don’t have a preacher curl rest, the spider curl is NOT a good alternative since it has a shortened focused resistance profile compared to the dumbbell preacher curl’s lengthened focused resistance profile. Thus, if you have a bench to work with, simply turn it around and perform a preacher curl using the bench as a preacher curl rest — problem solved. #fyp #fitness #gym #bodybuilding

If your goal is to focus on growing the lower chest (costal head of the pecs), a high to low cable fly is a way to bias the lower chest. Fun fact, we’re not isolating the lower chest here. Instead, we’re merely involving less upper chest. Here’s an explanation on how I like to setup the high to low cable fly for maximizing stability and keeping that lower chest biasing arm path #fyp #fitness #gym #bodybuilding #tiktoktaughtme

If your gym has this machine… use it. This cable preacher curl with the swivel had the MOST lengthened focused resistance profile out of any preacher curl variation I’ve seen (even the free weight version). And tbh, a free weight variation like the flat preacher curl feels uncomfortable. But since this iswith a a cable, it feels super secure and the rom ends just outside a straight elbow. So if I was a gym designer, I’d get one of these machines and put it in all of my gyms. #fyp #fitness #gym #bodybuilding

When it comes to the barbell squat, having 2 spotters is better than having one. Especially when you’re dealing with spotting @VJROD on 405lbs. And as always, use safety pins. #fyp #fitness #gym #bodybuilding

If your chest fly machine is limiting your range of motion in the stretched position, here are two things you can do to allow yourself to get a deeper stretch on the same piece of equipment #fyp #fitness #gym #bodybuilding #tiktoktaughtme

Which angle should you actually be using for incline dumbbell bench press? Here are my thoughts. #fyp #fitness #gym #bodybuilding #tiktoktaughtme

I have nothing against alternating curls, they can be incredibly hard iand great for the biceps if you do them correctly. Problem is, they’re quite often done incorrectly. An easy way to avoid cheating is by keeping your elbows stuck to the side of your body at all times. #fyp #fitness #gym #bodybuilding

51% off anything at @myprotein with C0DE: TPATH from now til the 22nd. If we were to take an unbiased, purely quantitative approach to determine the “best” protein powder, imo it would be one that has the least amount of carbs and fats mixed into the drink — and I think many would agree. Which is why MyProtein Clear Whey is the best protein powder by the numbers since it’s pretty much only protein (20g protein for 80 Calories). On top of that it’s meant to be taken with water so no excess calories there — not to say calories are bad. In this context, I view it as getting the most protein for your buck. #fyp #fitness #gym #bodybuilding

There’s not a strong reason to be leaning on cable lateral raises when you can simply adjust the cable height to hand height in order to get a similar lengthened resistance profile as you get when you lean. I’d take the non-leaning variation over leaning since you can also take a sturdier wide stance to help stabilize yourself on the movement.

The tricep pushdown is a relatively simple exercise with some small tweaks that can take make the exercise much more comfortable and effective for purely training the triceps. Here’s are two suggestions I highly recommend implementing. #fyp #fitness #bodybuilding #gym #tiktoktaughtme

If the Pec Deck Fly doesn’t feel all that great, here’s how to make sure you’re setting the machine properly. Now first off, we wanna make sure the seat height is adjusted to the point where your hands reach the handle when you have your shoulder abducted to 90 degrees (that is, your arms make a 90 angle with your torso) Secondly, you ideally wanna get a deep stretch on this exercise to optimize the movement for hypertrophy. Thus, it makes sense to set the pins further back beyond your range of motion to allow for this stretch #fyp #fitness #gym #bodybuilding

Sometimes the conventional way to perform an exercise is the best. Such is the case for the wider grip lat pulldown. #fyp #fitness #gym #bodybuilding
