So many men in today’s gym would rather struggle with 25kg dumbbells just to protect their ego. Meanwhile, Mr. Olympia champion is using 10kg dumbbells to build the most ridiculous biceps you’ll ever see.
Stop training for the audience.
Early lifters has that one exercise they ignored for years, then finally tried and thought “where has this been all my life?”.
What exercise did you regret not doing earlier?
@_dannt_ I’ll tell you for free that you could use those numbers and not build muscle. These guys are on high level of gear. Don’t forget that it does most part of the work.
Even with the size of his shoulders, you can clearly see he’s using small dumbbells for his lateral raises, so many gym bros only feel it is right when they go heavy, then they swing all through. Stop ego lifting and train for optimal growth!
Impressive? Maybe. Necessary? Not even close. Lifting heavy is a must for any gym bro, but kneeling under 405 with no spotter isn’t strength training, it’s a knee injury waiting for its turn. Not every viral lift deserves an applause. Some of it is just bs with plates on it.

@Emmachuuks@Vibe_ueen Eating ones a day becomes useless if that one meal is packed with calories surplus. That still doesn’t change the fact that one of the easiest ways to control calories is through OMAD.
@Jainadave_ Absolutely. Building muscle isn’t all about the aesthetics. It’s about maintaining strength, mobility and the ability to do things for yourself as you age.
The fittest people I know aren't the extreme ones. They're the consistent ones.
They take vacations. Eat pizza. Get through stressful weeks. Skip a workout here and there.
And still, they stay in incredible shape.
Want to know why?
So while I was doing my cable fly, I met a gym bro, who’s wayyy bigger than I am, he looks like one of those professional bodybuilders, has muscles lifts heavy and all, he told me to perform my fly this way ( the way I’m doing it in the video), but after my sets, I didn’t feel any tension on my chest, I wanted to confirm, is this the right way to perform the exercise and does anyone have an advice for me on how to perform my cable fly better
