If you have trouble feeling it in your lats on lat pulldown and you tend to feel it more in your arms, it very likely has to do with your arm path.

Here’s how to use the Glute Ham Raise like a pro in 60 secs

If you need to speed up your workouts for whatever reason, here are some intensity techniques you can implement to still get a good workout in less time.

If you stumble upon a curved bench press, the lowest bench position might look like a flat bench press but due to the arc, It is in fact effectively a flat bench press due to the position that it places your sternum.
On another note, yes I highly recommend you use it if you have it vs a regular flat bench press since it provides more support when you naturally arch.

There's not a day in my life that I wake up and I'm not happy about the physique I was able to achieve. It just never gets old…

If you haven't been sore in a very long time after working out, there are a couple of important things to know:

1. It could be that you are not
challenging yourself enough with the weight you're using or the number of reps, such as you're not training close enough to failure.

2. That said, soreness should not be the leading indicator of progress. If you're comparing feeling super sore in the beginning of your fitness journey compared to now, that is not likely a cause of concern.

I never program decline bench press for - myselt or my clients because a flat bench press for most people, if they're properly depressing their shoulder blades, is actually a little bit of a decline as is. Since naturally your arch slightly rotates the overall position of your sternum slightly upwards.

If you need to jump up to reach the pull-up bars on a squat rack, a better option will help you avoid starting to set swinging because if you use these safety pins of the squat rack as a step ladder, this is especially useful If you typically do weighted pull-ups as well since jumping up is usually not feasible

Ironically, you don't need the bench incline to be super low on incline dumbbell curls.
In fact, if you lower the incline, typically the harder it would be to keep your shoulders from moving forward into flexion.
Instead, incline above 45° tends to be just enough to get your arms into shoulder extension while still making it relatively easy to keep your shoulders pinned back
