Wisdom teeth got taken out on Thursday and I've been forbidden intense exercise for a week or so.

It's Sunday and I really could go for some of those endorphins. But I also don't want to start bleeding all over the gym while trying to lift heavy.

Quick Tips for Smith Machine Incline Tricep Extension 📌

Smith machine incline tricep extensions can be a great way to overload the triceps with stability, but they work best when you treat them like a controlled elbow-extension movement, not a press.

✅ Set up the bench correctly

↖️ Use a moderate incline

🤲 Grip the bar just inside shoulder width

🏋️ Why Learning Proper Form First Matters 💪

Muscle growth responds well to quality tension. When reps are done with consistency, control, and purpose, the muscle receives a clearer growth signal.

Good form is not just about safety, it is about making every set more effective.

Stop calling it "old age"—it’s just rust. 🧱💪

If you’ve spent the last decade neglecting your body, sleep, and nutrition, you aren't broken; you’re just undertrained.

The goal isn't to look "jacked." It's to stay strong enough to keep doing everything you love.

So since I'm off work, I tried going to the gym later in the day. Around 10:30 this time. Not a lot of people, which is nice, but here's the thing... This handsome guy with the tattoos of a Satanist and the voice of a sweetheart asked me some exercise advice and so now I'm going to have to go back and try to strike up a conversation with him to see if it was purely curiosity or if there was some mutual attraction there. 😅
