I think most people perform the hanging leg raise incorrectly. Ideally, you should aim to curve your lower spine rather than simply raise your legs. Thus, the most intuitive cue to get the abs more involved (as opposed to your hip flexors) is to focus on tucking in your knees to your chest so that your glutes end up facing forward. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding
If you’re doing a cable curl with the goal to train the biceps, it’s best to perform the movement facing away from the cables as this will allow for a more lengthened focused bicep curl. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding
Most people are not engaging as much of their abs as they could be on a decline ab crunch. IMO, you should aim upwards rather than simply curl your torso forwards. This may seem counterintuitive but since the resistance is directly downwards (due to gravity), you’ll be able to better maintain resistance by aiming upwards. Thus, you’re trading less shortening of the upper abs with a descending resistance profile with more involvement of the mid and lower abs under more resistance #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding
Should you turn your wrist as you do bicep curls (supinate as you go) or stay supinated the entire time if your goal is maximizing biceps growth? Well, there’s a strong case to do both. One of the functions of the biceps is supination thus by training supination you’re training another function of the biceps that isn’t often trained on barbell variations. On the other hand, if you stay supinated the biceps are better biased at the part of the range of motion where it has the best leverage (bottom half of the curl). So my advice is you should be doing both. And if you are already doing preacher curls or cable curls where it’s not possible to supinate as you go — might as well do them on dumbbell curls where you have the freedom to do so. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding
Even on a rest day, nothing is stopping you from still staying active via non weight training mediums of activities. From yoga to cardio to sports.. I am to be active on my rest days despite not lifting weights. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding
Can you spot one of the most sneaky ways you’re cheating yourself on Bayesian cable curls? If you’re putting your wrist into flexion and not fully extending the elbow between every rep — you could be leaving bicep gains on the table. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe
Does the lat pulldown train your mid back? That is the traps, rhomboids etc. The answer is probably not, if you’re performing it optimally for the lats. Thid is one of the biggest misconceptions about lat training I see. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding
There’s not a strong reason to be leaning on cable lateral raises when you can simply adjust the cable height to hand height in order to get a similar lengthened resistance profile as you get when you lean. I’d take the non-leaning variation over leaning since you can also take a sturdier wide stance to help stabilize yourself on the movement.

The sneakiest mistake on leg extensions has to do more with your hands than your legs. That is, you should be pulling yourself into the seat at all times with your glutes planted on the seat. This will surely humble you if you’ve been doing them with your glutes off the seat in the past #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding
By far the most stable way to do a reverse curl is with the seated cable row machine. More stability = easier time focusing on target muscle group. Do not knock it till you try it! #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding
If you’re feeling it more in your arms than your back when you do a shoulder width grip lat pulldown, here’s how to fix your form without having to take a wider grip. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe
Here’s your reminder if your smith machine squat feels off too check your foot placement. Ideally, you want have your feet aligned with the tilt of the bar (which generally means taking a small step forward) #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding
The sneakiest mistake I’ve seen on bench press is internally rotating your shoulders at the bottom. The reason this is so sneaky is that many have grown accustomed to just resting the bar on their chest (even if it’s for just a split second). Ideally at the bottom of the rep, you should still keep tension on the pecs and avoid losing that scapular depression. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding
Here’s why I don’t recommend doing pull-ups with the aim of getting your chin above the bar. And if you have trouble with feeling it more in your arms than your lats… this may help. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding #TikTokTaughtMe
If the pec deck fly doesn’t feel all that comfortable or perhaps you’re unsure if you’re actually training your mid chest as much as you could, here’s my recommendation. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding

If your gym doesn’t have a mag grip, here’s the best alternative for the mag grip pulldown using a regular lat pulldown bar that’s arguably better than using mag grip (imo) and still will bias the upper lats. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding
There are way better places to be doing bicep curls than in a squat rack. At the very least, you can take the barbell out of the rack and do them somewhere else. #fyp #Fitness #gym #bodybuilding
One of the most common ways I see lifters cheating themselves on lateral raises is by unintentionally bringing in their side delts into the movement.
