๐Ÿ‹๏ธ Tempo Training Basics ๐Ÿ”„

Controlling the speed of your reps (especially the eccentric phase) can dramatically improve strength and muscle growth.

๐Ÿ”ข Understanding the Four-Number System

โฌ‡๏ธ Eccentric Phase Builds Strength

โธ๏ธ Pauses Eliminate Momentum

๐Ÿ”„ Start with Lighter Weights

Just some pretty moments from the start of June. Donโ€™t worry, the egg had been hatched from when I found it in my backyard.

My second pixel art practice of the day is this dizzying pattern that (thanks to its closely set concentric lines) looks kind of tridimensional. 4 colors :) #opticalIllusion #pattern #ColorPattern #green #verde #motif #TilingTuesday #concentric #3D #opArt #mastoart #pixelart #ใƒ‰ใƒƒใƒˆ็ตต @pixel_dailies

๐Ÿ“ˆ Building a Bigger Chest ๐Ÿ‹๏ธ

Understanding these five points is crucial because each one targets a different but essential aspect of chest development.

1๏ธโƒฃ Prioritize Compound Presses

2๏ธโƒฃ Train the Upper Chest with Intention

3๏ธโƒฃ Use Progressive Overload

4๏ธโƒฃ Mind-Muscle Connection is Crucial

โœ… Why Dumbbell Preacher Curls Matter! ๐Ÿ’ช

1๏ธโƒฃ Pick a moderate weight that allows controlled reps. Going too heavy leads to swinging or reduced range of motion, defeating the purpose of isolation.

2๏ธโƒฃ Curl the dumbbell up slowly (~2 seconds), squeeze the bicep hard at the top.

3๏ธโƒฃ Lower even slower (~3โ€“4 seconds) to maximize time under tension and eccentrics for hypertrophy.

โณ Time Under Tension for Muscle Gain โŒ›๏ธ

Understanding Time Under Tension (TUT) is important because it gives you control over one of the most effective variables in muscle growth and training intensity.

๐Ÿ“ˆ Increased Muscle Fiber Activation

๐Ÿ“ˆ Greater Metabolic Stress

๐Ÿ“ˆ Improved Muscle Control and Form

๐Ÿ“ˆ Enhanced Eccentric Loading
