Better Bicep Engagement in EZ Bar Bicep Curls 💪⤴️

EZ-bar curl is easy to “complete” but hard to do well and the difference shows up in how much growth you get vs. how beat up your joints feel.

I love how strong bench work makes me feel.

I'm like the Hulk over here.

Scaling to avoid putting unneeded pressure on my knee. Which means not doing squats, explosive things, ... which sucks. But bodies.

First part was strength - strict press.

4x 3 strict presses at 65% of 1RM, or about 10% more as last time. I ended at 35kg.

The #wod was tne "Open 21.3" - but modified for me.

For time, time cap 18'
* 15 Box Step-Ups
* 30 Toes-To-Bar
* 15 Bench Presses (@43 kg)
* 1' rest

* 15 Box Step-Ups
* 30 Jumping Chest-To-Bars
* 15 Bench Presses
* 1' rest

* 15 Box Step-Ups
* 30 Kipping Pull-Ups
* 15 Bench Presses

Finished in 15'54"

Happy how the #gymnastics went actually. Quite dead afterwards.

I've been wiped out by some form of illness, acute or chronic. Sedentary for a few days and I can feel the need to move.

Will return to the gym with a new mentality. Is it OK to maintain what I have when it comes to performance and shift my focus away from stronger and bigger?

Folks achieving milestones quickly - ends up they are young, not busy, not ill. That's not where I am though. I am in no rush if I keep the perspective that fitness is a lifetime pursuit.

💪 Training the Chest Using Dumbbells with Pressing Techniques 🎯

Here are some tips and advice for chest workouts actually hit your pecs (and not turn into “front delts + triceps day”).

👉 Elbow path: Don’t flare straight out at 90°. Aim 30–60° from your torso.

👉 Dumbbell path: Press slightly up and in (not straight up). At the top, bring them closer without clanking, think “hug a tree.”
