So making cookie cutter gym content ad nauseam has me thinking what is my objective in all of this? To try and build a base to promote mobile personal training and online coaching.
If I’m pinpointing who I’m actually targeting, it’s the people who have never set foot in the gym before or are at the gym and are inexperienced and don’t know what they’re doing, not the juiced up gorillas at Derrimut.
I want to equip these people I’m training with the skills and knowledge where eventually they don’t need me anymore except maybe for motivation or accountability.
The content I’m making needs to be inline with who I’m actually targeting but in the way that keeps it interesting for the viewer, myself and is true to myself which can feel like walking on a tightrope sometimes.

20 minute bicep workout

In this workout we’re hitting both short and long head of the bicep plus the brachialis with hammer and reverse curls. I rarely do direct forearm work so throwing in some hammer and reverse curls hits them pretty hard.

2 x 5-7 mts bicep curls
2 x 5-7 single arm hammer curls
2 x 10-12 ez bar reverse curls

As of late I’ve been focusing on building upper traps to try and recreate a more Batista-esque physique. What did I achieve during this time? Slightly bigger traps, rotator cuff impingement and a fucked up upper chest breathing pattern. Having a good knowledge about exercise and anatomy I tried to resolve the issue to no avail. Seeing a physio he could straight away see my shit was out of wack and all of the upper trap work meant my serratus wasn’t doing its job properly as a scapular stabiliser and a muscle that assists in respiration.
The lesson learnt is that if I had dropped the ego and sought assistance it would’ve prevented months of pissing in the wind and stagnant progress.
This only fortifies my thoughts on how much of an effect imbalance in the body can have and how interconnected all systems of our body are.

Excercise selection is undoubtedly important when training with the goal to gain muscle (or any training goal really). You can always optimise your routine and exercise selection to be as efficient as possible, but where does it stop? Bodybuilding/excercise/a healthy lifestyle isn't a sprint but a marathon.
Lately I've been opting for exercises on the basis of the enjoyment they give me and the feel, even if there are options that may be slightly more efficient.
Goals are extremely important however, fixating on them can make the day to day steps just a means to an end, I try my best to enjoy the journey.

Thinking about the content I want to make, I don't want to make generic gym bro content (not that there's anything wrong with that). I think it would be a diservice to all to not be true to yourself and showcase what makes you uniquely you.
Ultimately, I believe this will lead to success in the end, but i'm not completely sure what the end product will look.
Honestly, I struggle every day not turn this into a Creed Tribute page.
Anyways, heres some more generic gym bro content.

Excuse my incoherent rambling as I try not to suffer a cardiac arrest from the 450mg of caffeine consumed prior.

I've always liked this quote from Socrates:

"No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable."

That being said, I haven't done cardio in 7 years, and my mobility is non-existent, but at least I look good with my shirt off. by @danielzbigniev

Machines vs Freeweights

I've been mainly using machines instead of freeweights. They generally take the stability requirement out of the lift so you can take the targeted muscle to true muscular failure.
I used to religiously use freeweights, but right now, machines are offering me a better stimulus to the muscles I'm targeting and lower my risk of injury, so I'm dropping the ego and am doing what works.

20 Minute Back Workout, Lats & Rear Delt Focus

You don't need to spend 1-2 hours in the gym to achieve results as long as you make sure you're training with purpose and intensity.

Things that I prioritize
1. Training to failure (until you can't do another rep).
2. Track your lifts in an app or note book, know what you did last week and beat it by one rep or add 2.5kg
3. Rest sufficiently between sets, i.e., 2-3 minutes, so you can give as close to a maximal effort each time.
4. Eat in a calorie surplus.
5. Ensure you're getting 8 hours of sleep a night.

Workout

2 sets Barbell Rows
2 Sets Chin Ups
2 sets Rear Delt shoulder extenstions

Chest Workout 5/7/2024

Aggravating a previous injury, my exercise selection in this workout wasn't what I'd consider ideal as to provide the most stimulus to the chest.
My goal was to go in and focus on exercises that wouldn't cause pain and try to train them with intensity. Even when injured, there's always something you can do. If you can't train heavy, change it up, go lighter and increase the volume, add some paused reps, go slower on the negative of the rep, and do whatever you can to make it an effective workout.

2 x sets Chest Press
2 x sets Cable Cross Overs
2 x set Dumbell Pullovers

Something different..
Sometimes, a change in training environment or training style is enough to spark your motivation.
The body and mind long for new experience, but we can naturally gravitate towards the path of least resistance.
Not sure what I would find in a park at 11pm at night, I ended up talking with a man who was studying personal training and is getting into filming gym content like myself.
He told me that his aim was to help the younger generation not fall into the same pitfalls he did like drug addiction and jail.
The conversation helped both of us recognise the purpose of what we are doing, which is helping others be the best versions of themselves. This reminder or insight probably wouldn't have come to me if I had opted to train in a commercial gym like I do every night, so I'm happy I didn't.
