This message is specifically for the ladies who already have BIG glutes:
You DO NOT need the glute-enhancing leggings. 😂🍑
Seriously… you already won.
Putting those leggings on top of what you already have is like giving the fastest person in the race a head start.
Meanwhile, I’m just trying to finish my workout and remember what set I’m on. 😭
Please be considerate of your fellow gym members.
Thank you for your cooperation. 😂

How’s my form?

Putting more weight on your barbell squat doesn’t automatically mean you’re creating a better muscle-building stimulus.
If you’re cutting your squat short and only doing quarter reps, you may be missing the portion of the movement where your quads are challenged in a more lengthened position.
Going deeper — while maintaining good form and control — can help you create more meaningful tension through the quads.
The goal isn’t simply to move the heaviest weight possible.
The goal is to make that weight challenge the muscle you’re actually trying to grow. 💪🏾

**Want bigger biceps? Make sure your biceps are actually doing the work.** 💪

Going heavier isn’t always better.

If you have to swing your body backward, move your elbow around, or use momentum just to get through your dumbbell curls, you’re taking tension away from the biceps.

Instead, keep your torso still, control your elbow position, get a good stretch at the bottom, and drive your forearm back toward your biceps.

And if you have to use a lighter dumbbell to do it properly — **drop the weight.**

Remember: **muscle building isn’t about moving the most weight. It’s about making the target muscle work.**

Looking for health in all the wrong places.
I don’t know these people and the other advice they gave but one reason MOST people never get healthier or achieve real sustainable results is because of where they get their information from. Be careful.

Shernette’s dumbbell Romanian deadlift form has really improved, and this is exactly why I love seeing clients focus on getting the movement right instead of just chasing more weight.
As we get older, learning how to hip hinge correctly becomes increasingly important.
It teaches you how to move through your hips while keeping your core engaged and maintaining control—skills that carry over beyond Romanian deadlifts and into how we bend, lift, and move in everyday life.
With Shernette, we worked on the movement pattern itself. This foam roller drill reinforces one of my favorite RDL cues:
Don’t think DOWN. Think BACK.
Push your hips back, find the range you can control, and then stand tall again.
Getting stronger matters, but maintaining the ability to move well as we get older matters too.

Bench press is my second muscle building exercise on my push day. Went for a new PR 285lbs rate my form 1-10.

Here's something to think about:
If one person weighs 200 lbs at 10% body fat and another weighs 200 lbs at 50% body fat, should they automatically need the exact same amount of protein simply because they weigh the same?
When your goal is building muscle, looking at lean muscle mass can give you more useful context than blindly basing everything on total body weight.
But there's another part of the conversation that gets overlooked:
How effectively are you training?
When people aren't seeing results, it's easy to blame protein intake, creatine or supplements. But increasing protein isn't going to compensate for training that isn't providing an effective muscle-building stimulus.
Protein matters—but before assuming you need more, take a closer look at what you're actually doing in the gym.
💬 What do you think matters more once you're getting enough protein: MORE protein or better training?
