Smith Machine Chest Press 🏋️

When you control setup, tempo, and tension, it becomes a powerful tool for chest growth.

☑️ Lower the bar to just above or lightly touching the chest.

☑️ Press up until arms are nearly straight, don’t slam into lockout.

Rest Periods as the Overlooked Growth 📈

Rest isn’t wasted time, it’s what allows every set to actually count toward muscle growth.

✅ Adequate Rest Preserves Mechanical Tension

✅ Rest Periods Support Quality Volume, Not Just More Volume

Chasing Soreness 🆚 Chasing Progress

When lifters chase soreness, they often confuse feeling worked with being effective.

Soreness is emotional feedback, it feels convincing, but it doesn’t reliably reflect whether the muscles received the right stimulus to grow.

⤴️ Dumbbell Pullovers ⤴️

The dumbbell pullover on a flat bench is a unique hybrid movement that rewards control, positioning, and intention more than load.

1️⃣ Set Your Body First

2️⃣ Grip & Arm Position

3️⃣ Control the Descent

Rest Day Nutrition is not Optional 🥗

Training provides the signal, but nutrition supplies the raw materials that determine whether your body adapts, stalls, or breaks down.

We are closer to finding a cure than ever before. But the Trump admin has clawed back necessary funding for critical research, prevention, and care.

A drawing I worked on last night! ✍️

It’s inspired more by a tattoo design.

I’m not sure how I feel about this one because I think it needs improvement but I love the design. ❤️

Understanding the Big Lifts 🏋️💪

When beginners learn squat, hinge, push, pull, and carry patterns, they build a foundation of coordination, balance, and strength that transfers to every workout.

🥦 Nutrition in Training Phases 🥦

These points matter because muscle growth is not driven by training alone, it’s driven by how well nutrition supports each phase of training.

⬆️ Cable Upright Rows ⬇️

With movements like cable upright rows, small changes in grip width, elbow path, or range of motion can completely shift stress away from the delts and traps and into the shoulders or joints instead.

Progress isn't always visible, but it's always happening.

Trust the process even when you can't see the results yet.

Your body is transforming in ways the mirror can't show you.

✍️ Adjusting Goals without Quitting 🎯

Adjusting goals without quitting matters because progress in fitness is built on consistency, not perfection.

🛑 Missed Targets Are Feedback, Not Failure

🙆‍♂️ Flexibility Protects Consistency

📈📉 Progress Isn’t Linear and That’s Normal

I’ve learned something powerful over the years, the workout you actually do beats the perfect workout you skip every single time.

We glorify intensity, but consistency is the real hero.

Here is my newest drawing! ✍️

It’s been well over 5 years since I sat down and drawn.

I just worked on this tonight and pretty satisfied with the result, I added more detail and shading than I did before and I think it stands out more.
