#compoundmovements

This incredible quote is especially true for those of you who either are just starting out or are blindly training without any direction. I'd rather have big thighs before worrying about calves; I'd rather have a thick chest before worrying about my arms. Why? Because regardless of your individual goals, training with #compoundmovements WILL indirectly hit the surrounding muscle groups. Hit them hard. Hit them often. And you will see great results I can help you get there, as I am proof that #basicstrengthtraining will help you reach your #sizeandstrength goals.

I took this after I finished training last night. Look at definition in those #shoulders! There are a lot of ways to hit those #boulders, regardless of whether or not you do so using #compoundmovements or #isolationexercises. Both give you chance to train all three #deltoid heads both directly and indirectly. I conducted a poll a while back asking you, my followers, if you perform any direct shoulder work in your training and the results were mixed. As for me, while I'm all for performing the #overheadpress especially and other moves, I currently and not doing so. For the sake of keeping my training as #goalspecific and as minimal as possible, without having too much overlap, my delt training comes from #bandedpullaparts, #benchpress and its many variations every training session, and most importantly, #highvolume. The best way to increase your #strength and #size is by hitting rep after rep after rep. And that, once again is regardless of your goals. Drop me a line and I will help you reach your goals today! @strongandshapely_gym #unitedinstrength #powerbodybuilding #powerlifting #bodybuilding #bodypartisolation #igfitness #strongandshapelygym #legionathletics #legionpulse #teamlegion #highreps #highvolumetraining #fullbodystrength #fullbodytraining #onlinestrengthcoach #beginnersstrengthcoach #intermediatestrengthcoach #hardgainer (at Strong and Shapely Gym) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9mrgDVjUVf/?igshid=lfrljjnhx51r

I recently conducted a poll on #autoregulation, as it'll be the basis of the new intermediate level #powerbodybuilding program I'm experimenting with. I used my own judgement to decide the amount of sets and reps when I perform the major #compoundmovements depending on whether I'm in a light, medium or heavy week. So here, on this heavy week, I decided to perform 300x5x1. This is 85% of my 1RM and perhaps, the next time I go heavy, I'll try to reach higher if I feel I can. I was pressed for time today. #unitedinstrength #igfitness #squat #fit #fitness #fitfam #flannelsandbarbells #fullbodystrength #fullbodytraining #onlinestrengthcoach #intermediatestrengthcoach #beginnerstrengthcoach #lankylifters #talllifters #iamacpt #nasmcpt #nasmcertified #teamlegion #legionathletics #strongandshapelygym #strength #strong (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.") https://www.instagram.com/p/B6GvgumDLfw/?igshid=b47taatb47w1

BENCH PRESS GRIP Great visual here by my friend Eugen showing us the correct way to hold the bar while benching. I did make a to view visual with myself showing the correct way but it's always good to have all the angles, please read what he has to say down below and share with your fellow lad that may help and improves their bench pressing in achieving their fitness goals! - - "The Bench Press is a full body, compound exercise. It works your chest, shoulders and triceps most snd it’s the most effective exercise to gain upper-body strength and muscle mass because it’s the upper-body exercise you’ll lift most weight on. The bigger your bench, the bigger your chest, we all know that. ⁣ ⁣ To be able to do this though, it's extremely important to make sure everything's done 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭.⁣ ⁣ When it comes to gripping the bar, first of all you want to have your thumb around the bar in order to not only increase the safety of the exercise, but also because it allows your wrists not to be excessively extended. This alone can be a cause of elbow & wrist injuries retaled to bench pressing, which simply make the exercise impossible to perform due to the discomfort. ⁣ Therefore: Holding the bar in the base of your palm, close to your wrists, with a thumbful grip, allowing all the joints to be stacked under the barbell. This will set up will generate the most amount of force.
