⚠️How to: Master the Dumbbell Incline Press A Guide to Perfect Form & Maximum Gains💪🏽 Hurry and elevate your chest day with the Dumbbell Incline Press, fine-tuned for precision and power. Setting your bench at a 15-30-degree incline and adjusting your grip can transform a standard exercise into a targeted, muscle-building movement. Here's how to do it right: **1. Setting the Stage:** Before you even lift a dumbbell, ensure your bench is set to a 30-degree incline. This angle is optimal for targeting the upper chest without placing undue stress on the shoulders, striking the perfect balance between engagement and safety. **2. Grip and Elbow Positioning:** As you grip the dumbbells, turn your elbows in 45 degrees towards your torso. This isn't just about comfort; it's about biomechanics. This angle promotes a more natural movement path for the shoulders and elbows, reducing injury risk and increasing pectoral muscle activation. **3. The Lift:** With the dumbbells at shoulder height, press upwards in a smooth, controlled motion. The key here is to avoid letting the dumbbells touch at the top. Why? Maintaining a slight distance between them ensures constant tension on the chest muscles, enhancing the stimulus for growth. **4. Mind Your Form:** Throughout the movement, keep your feet planted, your back slightly arched, and your core engaged. These subtleties in form contribute to a solid foundation, enabling you to press heavier weights over time while minimizing the risk of injury. **Why This Works:** - **Targeted Muscle Activation**: The 30-degree incline angle specifically targets the clavicular head of the pectoralis major, contributing to that coveted upper chest development. - **Reduced Shoulder Strain**: Turning your elbows in 45 degrees aligns your arm and shoulder in a safer, more effective lifting position. - **Continuous Tension**: Avoiding dumbbell contact at the top of the press keeps your muscles under constant work, key for muscle endurance and growth. **Incorporate this technique into your next chest day routine for a noticeable difference in both strength and aesthetics. Whether you're aiming to improve your physique, enhance your performance, or simply switch up your workout, the Dumbbell Incline Press with these adjustments is your new go-to.

Again no hate at all to this person, I would love to be able to eat like this because I love food. I just want to be able to use this as a way to show you that you can make food swaps for lower calorie higher protein options IF you are trying to eat healthier. A lot of people don’t want to eat healthy because they think it’s just water, bland chicken and broccoli. It’s not. You can still enjoy a whole lot of food and a wide variety of meals and still eat healthy. Also there is a ton of fear mongering around food because certain things aren’t “healthy” and that the only way to eat healthy is to eat grass fed pasture raised ethically grown steak and beef tallow off of a cutting board. It’s important to know that nutrition is on a continuum. Some things are better than others as far as nutrition goes and some things are better than others as far as taste goes. It’s up to you to find the balance that helps you hit your goals and make you happy. Hopefully this helps you on your journey to optimizing your health and happiness. #whatieatinaday #foodswaps #healthyeating #fitnessjourney #nutritiontips #fatloss #strengthbuilding #strengthtips #gymtips #startingstrength #gymmotivation #fitnessgoals2025 #fitnesscoach #healthymindset #healthyhabits #fitnesstips #fitnessmyths #fitnessdebunked #fitnesshacks

⚠️How to Leg Press properly Level up your leg training with the ultimate guide to mastering the Leg Press! This isn’t perfection. By focusing on proper form and specific positioning, you’re about to unlock the full potential of this cornerstone exercise. Let's dive deep: 1. **Seat Adjustment**: Set your seat 2 notches from the top. This positioning allows for a deeper range of motion, targeting your quads, hamstrings, and glutes more effectively. 2. **Feet Placement**: Position your feet lower on the platform. Why? This stance emphasizes your quads, giving you the power to push through with intensity while safeguarding your knees. 3. **The Press**: Engage your core as you press the platform away. Imagine driving through the heels, keeping the force evenly distributed across your feet. As you extend your legs, focus on maintaining a slight bend in your knees - never lock them. This not only protects your joints but also keeps the tension right where you want it: on your muscles. 4. **The Return**: Lower the platform back slowly, controlling the weight as you return to your starting position. This controlled movement is crucial for muscle engagement and growth. 💡 Why It Works: The Leg Press is more than just another leg day exercise; it's a comprehensive movement that, when performed with precision, can dramatically enhance your lower body strength and aesthetics. Adjusting the seat and feet positioning allows for targeted muscle activation, ensuring you get the most out of every rep. **🔥 Ready to Transform Your Leg Days?** Incorporate these techniques into your next workout for noticeable improvements in strength, endurance, and muscle definition. Your legs are the foundation of your strength; it’s time to build them stronger than ever. #LegPressMastery #StrengthBuilding #QuadFocus #LegDayLegends #WorkoutTechnique #MuscleSculpting #GymTok #workouttips #legpress #DidYouKnow #tiktokhumanitiescampaign

You can and should do both 🚨 From my experience, it’s virtually impossible to build muscle without getting stronger. If you aren’t getting stronger, chances are high you’re holding back your growth potential. 1:1 coaching & programs liked in bio 📲 @youngla @ehplabs @gymshark All code “DRE” 🔱 #musclebuilding #strengthbuilding #fitnessmodel #fitnessmotivation #gymrat #fitguys #bodybuilding

I wish I could lie to you and say it won’t be effort to get fit after you’re 35. We are all still 22 in our minds, so we still think all we have to do is hit the gym for a few weeks and eat a couple of salads to get fit. Wrong. There are different variables now so you have to account for those variables when figuring out your equation to get fit. Things I didn’t touch on in the video: 1️⃣ Get your hormones checked yearly. Get a full panel and if you are deficient try to first raise those levels by lifestyle changes. If that doesn’t work, consider getting hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Yes for both men and women. 2️⃣ Cardio. Find low impact cardio that you “enjoy” and do it religiously each week. This means your heart rate needs to be around 120-140 bpm so for some that’s a brisk walk while others might need to do things like swim, bike, run, hike/ruck. 3️⃣ Get a body composition test. This way you can get an estimate on how much fat, visceral fat, bone density and muscle mass you have each year. 4️⃣ Adjust your expectations. Now I’m not saying it’s impossible to get abs after 40 as many people have done it. It’s going to take work and you have to figure out if it’s worth it. Make it a goal to get healthy af and then you can decide if abs are worth it. Oh and I forgot. You need to manage your stress. Make time for things you enjoy. Accept that you’re getting older and that you have to adjust your lifestyle accordingly. And finally if you’re under 35, the best thing you can do is adopt healthy habits as early as possible because it puts you lightyears ahead of the curve. #fitin40s #fitin30s #muscleloss #fitparents #cutting #bulking #musclebuilding #fatloss #strengthbuilding #strengthtips #gymtips #startingstrength #gymmotivation #fitnessgoals2025 #fitnesscoach #healthymindset #healthyhabits #fitnesstips #fitnessmyths #fitnessdebunked #fitnesshacks

Replying to @Kat • SAHM • FIT-ish The trick to hitting your protein goal is finding ways to hide protein in the foods you already eat. You can adapt this to iced coffee and use a Fairlife protein shake or milk. Yes, I know collagen protein isn’t the best for muscle building because it has less leucine but your body uses protein for more things than just muscle building and it mixes better with hot drinks. Also I do 1 scoop of coffee with 2 scoops of decaf so I can keep my tolerance low. I have never liked black coffee. I’m not a detective from a 90s drama. This paired with a high protein breakfast should get you more than half way to your protein goal before noon. #proteincoffee #proteingoals #musclebuilding #fatloss #strengthbuilding #strengthtips #gymtips #startingstrength #gymmotivation #fitnessgoals2025 #fitnesscoach #healthymindset #healthyhabits #fitnesstips

MyFitnessPal can be anything BUT a pal sometimes. Tracking food isn’t as straightforward as it may seem because there are so many conflicting things with the app. Here are some tips: 1️⃣ Always do your own macro calculations and average in your daily activity and turn off the function that factors exercise calories back in. 2️⃣ When you can, use the the items with the check mark when entering food. 3️⃣ Double check your serving size when entering in items AND make sure you are logging things like chicken or rice as cooked or uncooked depending on how you weigh them. 4️⃣ When you have to guess which food to use, choose the one that is higher calorie when there isn’t a verified item IF you are trying to lose weight. 5️⃣ You don’t have to hit each macro goal at the end of the day except your protein. If you’re trying to lose weight it’s fine to be under calories on some days. Oh an don’t forget to pay your monthly subscription. #mfp #myfitnesspal #foodtrackingapp #cutting #bulking #musclebuilding #fatloss #strengthbuilding #strengthtips #gymtips #startingstrength #gymmotivation #fitnessgoals2025 #fitnesscoach #healthymindset #healthyhabits #fitnesstips #fitnessmyths #fitnessdebunked #fitnesshacks

I don’t see anything wrong with the carnivore diet if that makes you feel good and hit your goals. It’s the fear mongering of fruits and vegetables that really chaps my hyde. If you’ve followed me for a while you know that I’m a big proponent of people increasing their fiber intake because it helps with hunger, improves gut health and drastically cuts risk of colon cancer. I’ve done keto a long time ago and had to supplement so with many vitamins, minerals and fiber just to feel normal, that it just wasn’t worth it. Instead of picking these fad diets, try getting 90% (and I do mean a strict 90%) of your nutrition for whole nutrient dense foods and do it for a month and see how much better you look and feel. I promise you can still enjoy life, eat very tasty meals and it doesn’t cost nearly as much as you think. Keep it simple and live a life you enjoy. #carnivore #wholefoods #diettips #musclebuilding #fatloss #strengthbuilding #strengthtips #gymtips #startingstrength #gymmotivation #fitnessgoals2025 #fitnesscoach #healthymindset #healthyhabits #fitnesstips #fitnessmyths #fitnessdebunked #fitnesshacks

You might hate how your body looks right now, which is totally understandable. But turning that into hating your actual body and yourself and trying to use that as motivation to get fit, will result in some bad consequences. I didn’t realize it at the time but when I used hate as my primary motivator, I would often push myself too hard on workouts and on my diet. First my workouts weren’t based around what was optimal for my health and strength, but how much pain I could put myself through. Second my diet was often starving myself and eventually binging. The starving was about pain and the binging was about treating my body like a trashcan because I told myself I hated it. It wasn’t until later that I realized that you have to love and respect the ONE body you get. No this isn’t a body positivity post. This is about a logical and healthy way to get fit, get stronger and get lean. And most importantly live a happy life. Don’t make the same mistake I made. #cutting #bulking #musclebuilding #fatloss #strengthbuilding #strengthtips #gymtips #startingstrength #gymmotivation #fitnessgoals2025 #fitnesscoach #healthymindset #healthyhabits #fitnesstips #fitnessmyths #fitnessdebunked #fitnesshacks

The beautiful thing about humans is that we have emotions and feelings that mold how we view the world. One person can see the gym as a place where their weaknesses are exposed and it reminds them how out of shape they are. While another person can view it as a place to get stronger, clear their head and be motivated by others who are also trying to improve. Perspective. Changing your perspective is as simple as changing how you think of things. You might be thinking “well it’s not that simple” If you’re thinking that, I don’t blame you. But stop and think for a second how many times you told yourself that you don’t like something because of X amount of reasons. Now I don’t like tomatoes, I’ve tried. And there is no amount of thoughts that can get me to like them. But with other things you might just have to find a way to like it or at the very least change your perspective on it. And think about the perspective you have on your past. “But if I would have started working out 5 years ago I would probably like it” What would future you tell yourself? #cutting #bulking #musclebuilding #fatloss #strengthbuilding #strengthtips #gymtips #startingstrength #gymmotivation #fitnessgoals2025 #fitnesscoach #healthymindset #healthyhabits #fitnesstips #fitnessmyths #fitnessdebunked #fitnesshacks

Replying to @Donata Cucinotta A lot of people say they are 80/20 with their diet and in reality they are far from it. Over Christmas I ate an entire coffee cake that was probably 5k calories on top of cookies and other delicious things. The majority of my meals were pretty healthy. At first glance you could say I was about 70/30 with my diet. From a calorie standpoint I was more like 30/70. You have a solid foundation of going to the gym 4x a week and you are getting 10K steps a day so that will work in your favor. Now it’s time to put all your efforts into your diet. You’re going to measure yourself once a week. Don’t take the weekends off. I want you staying on this 7 days a week for 3 weeks. Adding a little cardio at the end of your workout is good for your heart but also builds a small buffer of about 500 calories each week. If you stick to this and truly eat 1700 calories per day you should lose 3-5 pounds in 3 weeks. #cutting #bulking #musclebuilding #fatloss #strengthbuilding #strengthtips #gymtips #startingstrength #gymmotivation #fitnessgoals2025 #fitnesscoach #healthymindset #healthyhabits #fitnesstips #fitnessmyths #fitnessdebunked #fitnesshacks

Getting back to working out after a vacation tips: 1. Workout on Day 1 - Plan to go workout the day after you get back. It doesn’t have to be anything intense, just get back in the groove. 2. Plan a home cooked meal - Make sure you have a simple, healthy recipe ready for when you get back from your vacation. Even better if you order your groceries for delivery. 3. Sleep - You may be jet lagged a bit but try to get back on your normal sleep routine within the first two days. 4. Walk - Wake up the day after you get back and simply go on a 5-10 minute walk to reset your circadian rhythm and get your blood flowing 5. Unpack and wash - First thing I do is unpack all my stuff and toss it in the washer and put everything away. This can just help you separate vacation from your normal routine. 6. Hydrate - Most likely you are dehydrated from traveling so get hydrated so you feel better being active. Most people fall off after vacation because they come back to a whirlwind of things they have to catch up on. Try to set yourself up to have as little as possible to come back to so you’re not overwhelmed. The quicker you get back into your routine the less weight you will gain and less you will feel a loss of strength. It’s not easy. The last thing I wanted to do today was go to the gym, but after I felt less bloated and soft. Remember you don’t have to “work off vacation calories” instead just get right back to your normal routine. #cancun #secretsplayamujeres #vacationworkout #fitnessmotivation #workoutaftervacation #fatloss #strengthbuilding #strengthtips #gymtips #startingstrength #gymmotivation #fitnessgoals2025 #fitnesscoach #healthymindset #healthyhabits #fitnesstips

Progress takes time, consistency, and patience, but the results are always worth it🥹. This is my back progress so far, a reminder that every rep, every drop of sweat, and every ounce of effort adds up over time. Building strength and definition isn’t just about physical changes; it’s about pushing limits, staying disciplined, and showing up even on the days when it’s tough. 💛 #BackProgress #FitnessJourney #StayConsistent #StrengthBuilding #HardWorkPaysOff
