Switching up your grip plays a major role in what specific muscle you’re targeting: A more outer, wider grip targets the inner head of your bicep, while a closer inner grip targets the outer head.
Furthermore, keeping your elbows locked in place is key for proper form while training your biceps - Keep your elbows locked and don’t be swinging using momentum. Stay locked and in control of each rep.
4th rep had the sun getting real low so I had to pause and let some blood get back to the brain
Someday, when I grow up, I'll have actual shoulder mobility

Retired bench-only warrior, benched from ages 13-16 and my pr is 110kg
I’ve finally decided to taken upon myself the challenge of learning the squat and deadlift too, here’s a clip of my recent squat
16 years old 77kg
I’m looking for some tips/constructive criticism 🤞
Felt pretty good, I don’t think I have hit this weight for a set of 5 before so it puts me in a good spot for week 2 of my peak.
Best my previous rep PR of this variation by 1 rep
It makes me want to AMRAP my normal bench, since I’m about 10lbs stronger with my regular grip
BW: 205
Lifts for the day:
Squat -475
Bench- 330
Deadlift-615
Total-1420
did 275: 3x3 and this was my last set. looking for advice on depth and cues for squatting heavy under fatigue
I haven’t done almost any bench training since i think end of December.. i decided to test it and did 120 kg/ 264 lbs for 10 reps. My old PR was 352 lbs (160 kg) paused while being 28.6 lbs heavier (13kg). I was 257 lbs(117 kg) now i’m 231 lbs (104.9kg)
No standing up no leaning back no knees to the ground
Wild one today.
conventional deadlift 1rm attempt, 230kg/507lbs and 240kg/529lbs. two PRs in a day. with ez straps and belted.
It’s an interesting feeling when you reach a new strength plateau. It’s simultaneously very exciting and also scary. I can’t hide behind the idea of where my limits were before. It’s a new space that I get to work in and new things are always scary at first.
This is the culmination of eight weeks of hard work on top of 12 years of starts and stops. I’m really excited to hit a huge PR right before I turned 41. I’ve never thought that once I turned 40 the days of continuing to put weight on the bar we’re over. Putting a 30 pound PR on the bar proves that that’s true.
I’m excited to finish out the week with a regular training schedule and then decide where the silly goose lifting club is going next. I’ll be doing a deep dive on this block soon.
Thanks for watching!
Working on maintaining my strength this week.
Hit the double 🟣🟣🔴🟡 again for a few before dropping back down and continuing my workout.
I tried the Spider-Man challenge and add some extras to the end 😊
