Your legs will always be stronger than your grip.
Unless you’re specifically training grip, use lifting straps to get the most out of barbell pull exercises.
(Pro-tip: Do as many of your warm up sets as you can without straps so you still get some grip training in!)

When choosing an exercise, think about efficacy AND safety.
A study has shown that hip thrusts are not ~quite~ as effective as barbell squats for building glutes.
However, they are much safer, especially when things get heavy. 👍🏼

Nordic hamstring curl practice.
Don’t know if I’ll ever be able to do these without hands, but it’s fun to try 😁

I have tried many, many protein bars.
This, hands down, is the best.

The best bang for your time and energy buck, whatever body part you are trying to build, will be your full body compound exercises:
✔️Squat
✔️Deadlift
✔️Bench press
✔️Pull-up
Or their variations.
Construct your workouts around these.

When you want to increase intensity without increasing weight, try using tempo!
By slowing the eccentric (muscle lengthening or lowering) phase of a movement, you increase time under tension and thus the work being done.
More time under tension = more gainzzzzz 💪🏼

A lot of people ask what kind of clothing to wear to the gym.

#oatmeal is one of the best nutritional decisions you can make in your day.
High #fiber and full of #minerals, it’s well worth it to invest some of your daily #carbs here.
I make mine with lactose free milk and frozen berries. 😋

If you’re working on pull-ups using tempo, and you don’t have access to a good assisted pull-up machine, a band can help 😀

Did you know that not everyone has the anatomy to #squat “ass to grass”?
- long femurs
- retroverted hips
- limited ankle mobility
affect your squat - it’s just basic geometry!
Elevating the heels is one way to help those with long femurs access lower depth in #squats.

Bulgarian split squats too comfortable? 🤔
Is your day going too well? 🧐
Try some barbell front squats, at tempo. 🫠

Remember, the scale is just a tool and cannot tell the whole story.
Body recomposition is a game of months and years, not weeks. And body weight will fluctuate pretty wildly, even during calorie restriction.
A bumpy road is normal!
