Episode notes
Cardio After Lifting Is Underrated
- Doing cardio right after strength training is underrated for most people juggling life responsibilities.
- Prioritize consistency in both lifting and cardio, even if cardio is after lifting.
Pause Movements Build Control and Strength
- Pause movements build starting strength and improve control in lifts.
- Holding tension in the stretched position enhances hypertrophy and technique.
Slight Decline Bench Press Recommended
- Avoid steep decline bench presses as they reduce range of motion and shoulder health.
- Use slight decline benches to maintain pec development with less shoulder impingement risk.
