TIPS:
- Most workouts require you to pull/push, squeeze, control, stretch!!!
•Pull/Push: This is normally when you are contracting or engaging your muscle during the workout motion.
Ex: you engage your arms to complete a pull-up rep!
•Squeeze: During each repetition normally at the mid rep position, you must squeeze the muscle group that you are targeting, instead of just going through the movement.
Ex: as you complete a pull up, FLEX your back WHILE completing the rep to better focus on building that muscle group
•Control: As you are going through the repetition and squeezing the muscle group being targeted, you want to control the movement on the negative slope instead of letting momentum do half the rep.
Ex: when doing a pull-up, the top position is half the rep and going back down makes it a full rep, use your muscles to lower yourself back to the starting position, instead of letting your weight drop and losing tention on muscle group!
•Stretch: At the end of each rep and mid rep, you want to stretch the muscle group being targeted as much as possible for maximum growth potential! The deeper the stretch the better gains you’ll see👀
Ex:  when completing a dumbbell curl it is best to fully extend arms out, then complete the curl repetition!
Remember: Using weights or equipment does not work you out, they can only assist you! YOU MUST use the tips above to workout your body for better results!
