Did my leg day workout and repeated my personal best on the leg press, so it's not a one off! Added 10 to my previous best on the curl machine too.
And I feel tired but not destroyed by it! I never intended to be a gym rat, but 2 solo sessions a week and one with a trainer helps my sleep and mental health. Plus an hour of karate.

🔺 Cable Machines for Triceps Growth! 🔺
Training triceps on cable machines is useful because cables keep steady tension and let you line up resistance with what the triceps actually do.
🎯 Cleaner form and easier “targeting”
📊 High stimulus with lower joint irritation

💪 Training Close to Failure 🔥
Training close to failure matters because it’s one of the most reliable ways to make sure your sets are actually stimulating growth instead of just “getting a workout in.”

I volunteer in a #culturalHeritage center and tell visitors about our traditions, lore, and ancient rituals. But we never romanticise the past. There are often very good reasons why some customs have died out.
Physiotherapists will know what I mean: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/feb/14/stone-lifting-sport-irish-culture-indiana-stones
And also generations of landscape gardeners (and other jobs with heavy weights) from the time before machines, who ruined their miniskus and their spine. Safe #weightlifting is done differently. 😉 1/2

Gym etiquette question: Someone's benching in the power rack next to you and they fail a rep. The safety bar catches it and they're able to squeeze out from under but it's clearly a struggle, and taking off weights and reracking is a pain. Are you supposed to run over to spot them back to the rack after they fail, or leave them alone?
📌 Quick Tips on Shoulder Engagement 💪
☑️ Understanding shoulder engagement matters because the shoulders are involved in almost every upper-body movement, pressing, pulling, carrying, stabilizing, and even bracing your core.
👉 If you don’t know how to properly engage them, other muscles will take over, tension gets misplaced, and progress slows down.

today in the gym we squat, we bench press, we barbell row and do 10 minutes of jumping plyometrics (box jumps and depth drops are my favorite) and there's a new Elise Faber book so I'll be reading The Bachelor and the Break-In wherein Jean-Michel will fairy godfather somebody and plots will thicken.

🎯 Why the Shoulders are Crucial to your Routine! 💪
↔️ Your shoulders are the “connector hub” of your upper body.
In a balanced routine, they’re doing three big jobs at once: moving your arms, stabilizing your joints, and keeping posture and strength balanced so your pressing, pulling, and even lower-body training stays clean.

Deadlifts are progressing! Slowly working up to my goal of doing my bodyweight in 2026.

Superset Strategy and Hypertrophy 💪🔃
Supersets matter for hypertrophy because they let you stack high-quality volume in less time while creating a strong growth signal through a mix of tension, fatigue, and blood flow, without needing to dramatically increase your total workout length.
1️⃣ Pick the right pairing
2️⃣ Match the goal to the superset type
3️⃣ Control rest so quality stays high
4️⃣ Use sequencing to protect performance
