Never stop thinking critically, evaluate what you are doing, stay curious, and work hard.

Progress is not always linear. You will plateau, you might fall back, but you just gotta keep pushing forward. #bodybuilding

Long term progress is all about consistency #lifting

[Dawson Wade @training_smart7]

The number one thing that determines your success with any program, adherence.#lifting

[Dawson Wade @training_smart7]

Love the process and focus on being the best version of yourself.

[RP Strength @RPstrength]

You don't have to love it at first, but look for parts to enjoy, challenges to overcome, milestones to focus on. The shift from striving for an end goal to living for a daily passion can be life-changing.

Wise words as always

[Squat University @SquatUniversity]

“Competency BEFORE Intensity”

This means you need to earn the right to go up in weight by showing the ability to use proficient technique at light weight first.

We don’t need to be perfect to progress, but we shouldn’t accept & justify sloppy lifts because they are heavy.

[Dawson Wade @training_smart7]

Consistency always wins

[RP Strength @RPstrength]

The quickest route to your goals is hard work and consistency. No quick fixes, hacks, gimmicks, or fads. There's no substitute for hard work! ❤️🙌

Top of the fitness meme game

[Dawson Wade @training_smart7]

For example, chest flys can be a great addition to your chest routine but you wouldn’t want them to be the majority of your volume. The total muscle disruption you get from compounds such as various pressing exercises will be far greater. #bodybuilding

[Dawson Wade @training_smart7]

All exercises are not created equal. Different exercises and special isolations have their place, but you can’t ignore the large benefits of the simple compound lifts. #lifting

[Dawson Wade @training_smart7]

If you want maximal hypertrophy results don’t limit yourself to a low selection exercises. That being said don’t go crazy with the number of exercises you perform. Specificity still matters. #bodybuilding

[Dawson Wade @training_smart7]

Never forget the importance of good technique

[Squat University @SquatUniversity]

The best athletes know this is the same road…

[Dawson Wade @training_smart7]

Very interesting. If your goal is hypertrophy, consider the importance of higher exercise selection.

[Brad Schoenfeld, PhD @BradSchoenfeld]

More evidence that leg extensions elicit preferential hypertrophy of the rectus femoris compared to compound lower body exercise; exercise selection is an important consideration for muscle building...

Sleep is an important and sometimes overlooked factor in recovery. Sleep supplements can be of use if you have trouble getting your 7-9 hours in. I’m a big fan of Gorilla Dream from Gorilla Mind. #sleep

The only advantage Creatine HCL is it’s solubility. Creatine HCL has very little research proving its effectiveness on muscle and strength gains. Creatine monohydrate has tons. If you want more info on this check out my latest blog post. https://t.co/5JW5x1ExGS #creatine
