#pausereps

Chest day! 2sets of 2 at 295 pounds! This was my one rep shaking max at the start of this strength program with @scboss 4 weeks ago, maybe less. Now it's feeling stupid easy and fast! #chestday #pausereps #benchpress #bench #pausebench #reps #gains #powerbuilding #powerlifting #bodybuilding #strength #training #dedication #consistency #furiouspete #yyc #tattoo #tattoos #progress #fitness

Leg day from earlier this week. . I'm in the process of reviewing my workouts as I'm feeling ready to change things up. Not entirely sure how my weekly plan will look just yet, but I'd like to get more functional work in for sure. One aspect will be to include more kettlebell work. . I used to be a bit wary of kettlebell swings due to the fear of crushing my nuts, but I got over it and man what burn for the hams and glutes! . 🔥 Back squats with pause reps 🔥 Kettlebell swings 🔥 Single-leg step-ups . #pausereps #kettlebellswings #backsquats #fitfamuk #dadswholift #asianfitfam #asianfitness #legworkout https://www.instagram.com/p/BxUZjxPnSl_/?igshid=vzze39ahz9sj

Another leg day with pause reps 🔥 . Not the most exciting content for the 'gram, but it's a true reflection of consistent effort and the focus I place on these staple compound lower body movements. . Frankly, I've seen some shocking examples of unnecessarily dangerous exercises recently. Check out @everydamndayfitness on YouTube, if you want to see for yourself! . 🔥 Front squats 🔥 Back squats 🔥 Wide grip deadlifts 🔥 Calf press (no video) . #pausereps #frontsquats #backsquats #deadlifts #fitfamuk #dadswholift #asianfitfam #asianfitness #legworkout (at Liverpool) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw7u_GOnsM3/?igshid=bfsur6t7egkp

My first weighted leg workout in a couple of weeks so I didn't want to load up too heavy, but I still wanted the intensity so I dropped the squats lower and introduced a pause at the bottom of the rep. If you've not done pause reps before then you might think they're nothing special since you're not moving the weight. Well, your body must be doing something to prevent gravity from slamming the weight to the floor, right? . For deadlifts, I used a wider grip on the bar to engage my upper body differently. Was a nice variation without changing the primary focus of the exercise. . 🔥 Front squats 🔥 Back squats 🔥 Deadlifts 🔥 Calf press (no video) . #pausereps #frontsquats #backsquats #deadlifts #fitfamuk #dadswholift #asianfitfam #asianfitness #legworkout (at Liverpool) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwpzNA4HpmC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kstzv5rmt9pl

Still lifting things! Getting back into strength training again. Hitting some bench today! 5x5 at 225 feeling rediculously easy today. This was set number 4 moving like nothing. #bodybuilding #powerbuilding #powerlifting #chestday #chest #benchpress #pausereps #pausebench #gains #strength #training #fitness #dedication #consistency #yyc #tattoo #tattoos #reps #form #mobility

When pull ups show up in the middle of a workout, the band is required! It's nice to have so I can hold a pause at the top for the 4 sets of 10. #bodybuilding #powerlifting #powerbuilding #pullup #widegrip #upperbody #pausereps #gains #bandwork #mobility #gym #reps #pullups #dedication #consistency #control #training #fitfam #fitness #instafit #tattoo #tattoos #yyc #flagnorfail

🔹Pause reps🔹 Here's another tip for training with light dumbbells. By pausing at the bottom of each rep, you increase the time under tension during the set and thus make the exercise more difficult. You'll be surprised how quickly you fatigue on a relatively light weight! This was my 4th set of shoulder press using the 50lb dumbbells (normally a warm up weight 🙈) #pausereps #TUT #losangeles (at Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel)
