Calm demeanour, fierce lifter.
People often assume powerlifters must be aggressive, but hereβs the truth:
For me, powerlifting is about discipline and pushing my limits while staying true to my calm and collected nature, much like a monk in deep meditation.

Lifting belts & straps are great tools, but remember: they're meant to support, not replace! Use them only when core & grip strength start to fail. Build a strong foundation first; don't rely on them for every rep.

Treat your body like building a start-up!

Training wrists? Fear not, #CarpalTunnel ain't coming for you! π«π€ Strengthening wrist muscles actually π£π₯π’π§πππ§π¦ against strain & injury. Many people develop wrist and elbow pain during training because they donβt train their wrist flexors & extensors. #wristtraining
Here's why a coach needs to have a solid understanding of biomechanics: βIndividualisationβ,i.e., the ability to make training plans and exercises specific to the goal of the clients. Remember that lat pull-down can be modified to be more biased towards upper back muscles or lats
What's the best time for the workouts? The time when you can focus on your training and don't have to rush to complete the workouts. Lifting is a mental game.
Want to improve your mind-muscle connection? Learn about the origin, insertion and function of different muscles. Many people still think that the lat is a muscle in their upper back.

Rope pushdowns arenβt a great way to train the triceps.Why?
1. Loading Profile: Direction of resistance doesnβt align with the direction of triceps fibres.
2. Stress on elbows: The amount of shear stress on elbows is relatively high,making loading difficult and prone to injuries
Your snacks can easily add another 1000-2000 Kcals every day. So, by just tracking & controlling your calories from the snacks, you may start losing weight.
Nutrition Tip:
If you can't measure food, but all you eat is mainly homemade food, and somehow you are still finding it hard to lose fat, here's what you can do:
Only track the calories of the snacks you are consuming.
The reason why this technique works for most people is:
Most of us don't have more than a few chappatis or rice servings with some curry. That's hardly 500 calories per meal. The main culprit here is not the main meals you are consuming, but the snacks.
[2/2 ] The max range of motion happens when your back is parallel to the ground, which can be quite challenging to maintain in a bent-over row. Thatβs why chest supported rows can help achieve the maximum range of motion while minimising the risks of injuries.

[1/2] Chest-supported rows vs Bent-over rows
The major action in any horizontal rowing is shoulder extension, and back muscles (lats, traps, rhomboids, posterior deltoids, etc) are the primary shoulder extensors.

Vitamin D deficiency will cause aches, fatigue, and muscle weakness. What is more, it can lead to rickets in children osteoporosis in adults, and it has been associated with conditions like CVD, cancer, IBD, and AI disorders.

Then again, exposure to sunlight will affect how much vitamin D you can synthesize. In modern environments, this can result in an increased risk of deficiencies.
The RNI of vitamin D is only ten micrograms per day. This is because it is difficult to get a dietary intake much higher. If you are getting enough sunlight, this will likely cover your needs.β£β£
