The seated dumbbell shoulder press is one of my favorite exercises for the delts. Here’s how to avoid some common mistakes: 1) it’s not necessary to set your bench completely upright at 90 degrees, instead I recommend setting the bench one notch below the most upright setting — this will make it easier to press in your scapular plane without the dumbbells falling forward 2) instead of pressing all the way straight out in your frontal plane, I recommend pressing slightly in front in your scapular plane. It’s wrong to say that you WILL get hurt pressing in your frontal plane. But anecdotally speaking, pressing in your scapular plane is more forgiving, especially near the bottom of the press #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe

If you want to burn more calories by walking on a treadmill, here are some important cues that seem like a small difference but can make a huge caloric impact throughout the entirety of your session: 1) avoid laying on the treadmill rest. 2) raise the incline 3) stay hydrated to increase session duration. It sucks to be doing tired AND dehydrated #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

The reverse pec deck flye is a very popular exercise for training the rear delts.. but it can be done better if you want to maximize hypertrophy. There’s a growing body of evidence suggesting that focusing on the stretched part of an exercise is better for hypertrophy. A really novel way to make the reverse pec deck flye more lengthened focused (stretched focused) is by turning to one side and performing it unilaterally. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

If you’re taking less than a 2 minute rest in between sets, you’re leaving gains on the table. A lot of us have this habit of wanting to jump into a set but without adequate rest, your performance will suffer. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

The dumbbell lateral raise is an exercise everyone’s familiar with that is commonly done wrong. Here’s how to make sure you’re getting the most out of it: 1) raise in your scapular plane instead of straight out to the side 2) avoid leaning back and align the direction of force with your side delts by leaning slightly forward Goodluck! #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

If you’re struggling with knowing how to perform a lat pulldown correctly, here’s my advice: 1) Focus on getting your elbows to touch the side of your body and allow yourself to slightly lean when you pull down. 2) take a deep breathe in your diaphragm and either exhale when you pulldown or in breathe in between reps. And like always, slow the eccentric #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

Lets say, you’re not feeling it in your biceps on a hammer curl… that’s actually not a bad thing. Let me explain #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe

By now you may have heard about the House passing a bill supporting a TikTok ban in the US. Over the past 4 years, I’ve dedicated my heart and soul to teaching, motivating and inspiring millions of you all — and I’m not going anywhere. In the worst case scenario, follow my other platforms in the link in bio. I promise you all no matter what happens, I will still continue ❤️‍🔥 Keep on grinding! #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

Pec deck flyes are another one of those often incorrectly performed exercises. The biggest culprit tends to be one of the three: 1) having shoulders come forward instead of retracting scapula 2) keeping arms bent on concentric which limits range of motion 3) keeping arms straight the whole time which can be uncomfortable for elbows and involve more biceps #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe

If you’re in a rush at the gym, instead of cutting your workout short, I recommend decreasing the # of sets in the workout and using myo reps or other intensity techniques to make the most of the 1-2 sets you’re giving yourselves Goodluck folks! #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

If you’re trying to grow a booty doing bulgarian split squats, this is how you do it: 1) take a couple steps forward from the bench and prop your back foot on rhe bench in a plantar flexed position 2) lean bit forward and go down for the split squat in that bent over position #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

If you want to grow your bicep peak — first understand that there is a genetic component factor to this and likely the best way to do so is by growing your entire bicep as a whole. However, we can extrapolate that because the “bicep peak” is a part of the long head — we can try to bias it to focus on the peak (but NOT isolate — we are biasing the entire long head and even then, the short head will still play a role): 1) get your arm behind your body to allow the long head of biceps to stretch 2) externally rotate your shoulders and curl from that position #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe

The cable overhead tricep extension is a great exercise to train my triceps in a more stretched position. But, using a rope can sometimes feel limiting. Thus, here’s my advice: 1) perform the exercise unilaterally 2) there are many ways to do this, best I’ve found is by pointing your body sideways and taking a small step forward #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe

Doing the leg raise on a captain’s chair is a stable variation of a leg raise. With that said there’s some common errors that most people seem to make: 1) avoid posterior pelvic tilt when you’re up there. Raising from this position will involve more hip flexors rather than abs since it’s hard to actually flex the spine with a leg raise when your hips are back 2) keep your legs together — this helps your lower body move as one unit so you can better focus on spinal flexion (what your abs actually do when contracting). 3) Leg raise is a pretty confusing name for this exercise, it should be called “knee to sternum” or something. Anyways, think about getting your glutes to face forward — this encourages you to flex the spine rather than just raising your legs up Goodluck! #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #calisthenics

Some have seen that arnold video with him leaning forward on a seated row and swinging back n forth. Unfortunately, if your goal is to grow your lats as best as you could — that is not the best approach. Here’s. What I’d recommend! #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe

I know some of you out there aren’t convinced or intimidated about lifting weights and prefer to stick to cardio. But I will tell you that it is so worth the time and effort you need to put in to learning and growing. You’re not gonna get bulky from weight training. Countless of people who go through weight loss journey have the regret that they “should’ve focused on building muscle too” Muscle mass is one of the biggest signs of longevity as you age. For these reasons alone, you owe it to yourself to lift. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

If you’re trying to grow that upper chest with a low to high cable flye, here’s some pointers: 1) take a staggered stance for more stability 2) instead of staying supinated and keeping arms straight, I prefer doing a hybrid chest flye / press by bending my elbows and keeping a more neutral to pronated wrist position 3) go from neutral to pronation for a better range of motion #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe

Here’s how you can make the cable bicep curl even better for the biceps… simply by turning around. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe

Someone asks you to spot them on bench press, here’s how to make sure you’re spotting them properly: 1) ideally you want to communicate to them beforehand to let you know when they need help 2) worse case if nothing was communicated, the universal rule is to wait until the bar begins to descend back down despite them trying to push it up 3) don’t yang the bar up, use just enough strength to give them the lil nudge they need (unless communicated otherwise) Happy spotting :) #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe

If you’re just bouncing away when you’re doing calf raises, you’re likely leaving gains on the table. 1) You want to make sure you’re getting a good stretch on the calves 2) followed by a strong contraction, trying to get as high on your toes as possible. 3) followed by a slow eccentric back down. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding
