Bent-Knee Reverse Crunch — Get a Better Ab Contraction!

Want to make your ab training more effective? The bent-knee reverse crunch with your hips off the bench focuses on controlled pelvic movement to target the re**us abdominis.

✅ Keep your knees bent
✅ Control the stretch
✅ Curl your pelvis toward your ribs
✅ Squeeze your abs at the top
✅ Lower slowly without swinging

Remember: Don’t just lift your knees — focus on curling your pelvis to maximize abdominal contraction. Keep the movement controlled and avoid forcing your lower back into an excessive arch.

Save this exercise for your next ab workout! 💪

📩 DM for coaching if you want a personalized workout program designed around your goals.

Stop Starting Your Lat Pulldown With Your Hands

One simple cue that can change how you approach your lat pulldown:

Instead of immediately bending your elbows and pulling the bar down, start by allowing a small, controlled movement of the shoulder blades, then drive your elbows down.

Think:

Shoulder blades → elbows → pull.

Don’t exaggerate the scapular movement or turn it into a separate exercise. Keep everything controlled and connected.

WHY YOU’RE NOT LOSING WEIGHT

Eating less but the scale isn’t moving?

It may not be as simple as “your metabolism is broken.” Calories from oils, sauces, drinks, snacks, and large portions can add up quickly. And remember—daily body weight can fluctuate because of water, sodium, carbohydrates, stress, and digestion.

Focus on your overall trend, not one weigh-in.

Track accurately. Stay consistent. Give the process time.

Fat loss requires a consistent calorie deficit over time.

Stop Keeping Your One-Arm Row Completely Square

Try giving your one-arm cable row a little more freedom.

Instead of keeping your torso completely square and locked in place, allow the working shoulder to reach slightly forward and use a small amount of controlled torso rotation toward the cable.

Then drive the elbow back and return toward neutral.

The goal isn’t to twist aggressively or use momentum.

Small movement. More control. Better range.

Your Hip Thrust Foot Position Matters

If you’re struggling to feel your glutes during hip thrusts, check your foot position.

Feet too close can change the movement and make it harder to find a strong hip-extension position.

Try moving your feet slightly farther away and look for a position where your shins are roughly vertical at the top.

But there isn’t one perfect setup for everyone. Your anatomy and mobility matter.

Focus on control, stable feet, and strong hip extension rather than simply adding more weight.

Your Leg Press Foot Position Changes Everything

Your foot placement on the leg press isn’t just about comfort.

⬇️ Feet lower: generally more knee flexion and greater quad contribution.

⬆️ Feet higher: generally more hip flexion and greater contribution from the glutes and hamstrings.

Neither position is automatically “better.” Choose your setup based on your training goal, use a controlled range of motion, and keep your feet stable on the platform.

The Only Supplements I Actually Take

You don’t need a shelf full of supplements to make progress.

I keep my supplement routine simple:
💪 Creatine
🥛 Whey Protein
☀️ Vitamin D + K2
🐟 Fish Oil
🌙 Magnesium Glycinate
🍊 Vitamin C

Supplements are there to supplement a good lifestyle — not replace proper nutrition, training, sleep, and recovery.

Don’t waste money on things you don’t need.

Train smart. Eat well. Recover. Stay consistent.

Try Starting Your Cable Lateral Raise Like THIS

Most people start their cable lateral raise with the arm beside the body.

Try starting with the cable slightly across your body instead. This gives the lateral delt a more lengthened starting position and allows you to work through a longer range of motion.

Keep your torso controlled, avoid swinging, and focus on making the delt do the work.

Same exercise. Better starting position.

Try This Cable Woodchopper Variation for More ROM

Most people start their cable woodchopper with the handle already in front of them.

Try starting with the cable behind your body, allowing your torso to rotate away from the machine first. This gives you a longer starting position and lets you work through a greater range of motion.

Keep your core braced, control the rotation, and don’t use momentum to move the weight.

Same exercise. Different starting position.
