The difference between a good or bad curl isn't the weight, it's about which muscle is doing the work.

Swinging the weight up lets momentum take over. Slow, controlled reps keep the tension on your bicep the entire time, which is what actually builds it.

You want your bicep to do the work--not your back.

45° HIP EXTENSION — GET MORE OUT OF EVERY REP 🍑

Coach and Powerhouse Gym owner Lonnie breaks down proper setup and ex*****on on the Glute Builder 45° Hip Extension, demonstrated by Trainer Val.

Small adjustments can make a big difference in keeping the movement glute-focused.

KEY CUES ⬇️

➜ Set the pad below the hip crease to allow the hips to move freely.

➜ Keep pressure off the thighs instead of driving hard into the pad for leverage.

➜ Tuck the chin and maintain a controlled upper-body position.

➜ Keep a slight upper-back round to reduce excessive spinal extension.

➜ Drive through the hips and contract the glutes as you come up.

➜ Stop at full hip extension — avoid hyperextending the lower back.

➜ Control the lowering phase and maintain tension through the stretch.

Better setup. Better ex*****on. Better training.

Train with purpose. Train at Powerhouse.

LET'S TALK ABOUT MECHANICAL TENSION!

If your goal is to BUILD muscle, your muscles need a reason to adapt.

One of the biggest drivers of muscle growth is sufficient mechanical tension — producing high levels of force through the target muscle while training with proper technique and enough effort.

And over time, that stimulus needs to PROGRESS.

That’s progressive overload.

It doesn’t mean you need to max out or add weight every workout. Progress can come from:

• Adding weight while maintaining ex*****on
• Performing more reps with the same weight
• Improving control and range of motion
• Getting stronger within your prescribed rep range
• Performing the same work with better technique

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU’RE TRAINING HARD ENOUGH?

Your working sets should become increasingly challenging as you approach the end of the set. If you consistently finish a set feeling like you could perform 5+ additional quality reps, you’re probably not creating enough stimulus to maximize muscle growth.

The goal isn’t simply to move more weight.

The goal is to progressively create more mechanical tension on the muscle you’re trying to grow. 💪
