Most guys waste energy on their warm-ups or skip them completely.
That’s why the first heavy set always feels like a shock.

Do it this way instead:
🔹 50% x 10–12 reps
🔹 70% x 6–8 reps

Doing endless high reps with light weights feels hardcore but it’s killing your recovery.
Soreness ≠ growth.
Real gains come from challenging weights (6–12 reps), keeping 0–4 RIR, and recovering strong.

Most lifters think failure = growth.
But leaving 1–3 reps in reserve builds just as much muscle with less fatigue & faster recovery.
Train smarter. Grow longer.

No shortcuts. No secret hacks. Just years of discipline, consistency, and raising my standards.
This isn’t genetics. It’s choices.
You’re one decision away from changing everything.

Except when it comes to abs. Then it’s optional.😅

Brain too loud to think? Walk.
Not for fat loss — for clarity.
Movement calms stress better than overthinking ever will.
Even 10 minutes helps.
Do less — with more intention.

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE 🔥
Upper abs = six-pack
Lower abs = V-cut
Obliques = waistline

Most guys just “do abs” and wonder why nothing shows.
Train smart, not random.

Perfection kills momentum. You’ll mess up. That’s human. But don’t let quitting be one of those mistakes. Show up messy. Try again tired. Stay in the game long enough—and you’ll win. Save this for the hard days.

Doing incline DB press with flared elbows and a 45° bench?
That’s why your shoulders hurt and your chest isn’t growing.

✅ 30° bench
✅ Elbows at 60–80°
✅ Full range, tight form

Control the weight — don’t let it control you.

No, stretching before lifting doesn’t help.
Neither does your zero-carb life, endless arm days, or sauna obsession.
Most of what you’ve been told is pure BS.
DM “TRUTH” for what actually builds muscle.

After 30, you lose 1% of muscle every year.
Less muscle = slower metabolism = more fat.
You weren’t always like this, and you don’t have to stay like this.

This is incline walking 👣
That other thing? Just wasting calories holding the rails.
Lean into the incline — not back into comfort.

Stop wasting reps.
Fix your form → grow your lats.
✅ Lock yourself in
✅ Drop the shoulders
✅ Tuck the elbows
Small tweaks = BIG growth
