Squats and bench from last night. Squats: 325x4 Bench 200x3 Also did deadlifts with 395x3 😰Everything felt really heavy during this session. - I’d like to thank everyone at Boss Barbell for the support! - I can’t emphasize how important it is to have the right training environment. If you’re not getting the results you want in life, maybe it’s time to change your environment. . . . . . #lowbarsquat #lowbar #squats #skwaats #longfemurs #longfemurcrew #powerlifting #trainingenvironment #associatewithgrindersonly #hardworkalwayspaysoff #underdogstrength #powerliftingforfatloss #indianfitness #fitindian #desilife #nri #nikeromaleos2 #nikeromaleos #sbdkneesleeves #givelowbarachance #powerliftingtowin #trainuntamed #texasmethod #hipdrive #hipdrahve #bossofnorcal #bossofnorcal5 #indianmen #biggerleanerstronger (at Boss Barbell Club)

Want to improve your squats? Try some Controlled Tempo Squats. - 🏋️‍♀️Normally, if you want to squat heavy, it’s a fast movement. You should go as fast as you can while maintaining tightness and without losing position. - Sometimes you might have issues with balance, tightness, positioning, depth etc. 👉All of these can be corrected by slowing down the movement. - Benefits of Tempo Squats: ✅Instant improvement in technique ✅Better Balance ✅Improved tightness ✅Find your strongest position ✅Improved depth ✅More time under tension ✅Makes the squat harder without going too heavy ✅Increased confidence - In this video, I’m doing 2-0-2 tempo squats. 👉2 count on the way down 👉0 pause 👉2 count on the way up - I don’t recommend this as being your primary squat style but it can be a good addition to your training program. You can also add these to your warmup to get a better feel for the movement. - Try these out and let me know what you think! 😀 . . . . . #howtosquat #squatform #squattechnique #temposquats #slowsquats #slowreps #powerliftingsquat #givelowbarachance #indianpowerlifting #powerliftingindia #powerlifting #usapl #usaplca #usaplcalifornia #trainuntamed #squat #squats #skwaat #bossbarbell #dangreen #bbbc #indianfitness #fitindian #fatlosscoach #powerliftingforfatloss #powerliftingtowin #danglelikestangl #underdogstrength #bayareafitness (at Boss Barbell Club)

BCAAs (Branched Chain Amino Acids) and EAAs (Essential Amino Acids) are some of the most popular supplements out there. But what’s the difference? Should you buy them? - Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. There are 20 amino acids in total. - Out of the 20 amino acids, 9 of them are considered as Essential Amino Acids (EAAs). They are Essential because the body cannot make these amino acids. You can only get them from food. - Out of the 9 EAAs, 3 of them are known as Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs). These 3 amino acids are - Leucine, Valine and Isoleucine. - BCAAs, in particular Leucine helps promote muscle protein synthesis (MPS). 👉About 3 grams of Leucine per dose seems to minimize MPS. MPS is is essential for muscle repair, recovery and growth. It’s the building of new protein in the body. - Most complete protein sources are abundant in EAA and BCAA. If you’re eating enough protein, you’re probably getting enough EAAs and BCAAs in your diet. - Since EAASs have more amino acids, they must be superior to BCAAs right? In theory yes. However, when purchasing a supplement, you also have to look at price per serving. 👉In order to maximize the effectiveness of Amino Acids, you about 3 grams of Leucine is needed for most people. 👉BCAAs usually have enough Leucine in a standard 5 grams serving. 👉EAAs usually don’t have 3 grams of Leucine per serving. You would probably need to have 3x servings of EAAs to get the same MPS response as BCAAs. - If your goal is to maximize MPS, BCAAs might be more cost effective than EAAs. - 1 serving of Whey protein also has 3 grams of Leucine along with 19 additional amino acids for the same cost per serving. - Conclusion: As long as you get enough protein from food and whey, don’t waste your money on these! . . . . . #bcaapowder #essentialaminoacids #branchedchainaminoacids #branched_chain_amino_acids_bcaa #intraworkout #postworkoutdrink #postworkoutshake #wheyproteinisolate #supplementreviews #supplementreview #muscleprotein #muscleproteinsynthesis #underdogstrength #aminoacid #aminoacids #aminoenergy #indianfitness #fitindian #fitness #supplementeducation #powerliftingforfatloss #supplementation #evidencebased (at Mountain View, California)

If you want complete arm development, you have to focus on 3 muscle groups: 1) Biceps 2) Triceps 3) Shoulders - The best way to do this would be to use a combination of Compound +Isolation exercises. - BICEPS Biceps make up about 1/3 of your upper arm. Most people do way too many exercises for this relatively small muscle. 💪Compound Exercises: Pull-ups, Chin-ups, Rows, Barbell Curls. 💪Isolation Exercises: Preacher Curls, Hammer curls, Cable curls, seated incline curls (my favorite). - TRICEPS Triceps make up the remaining 2/3 of your upper arm. 💪Compound Exercise: Bench press, Close Grip bench press, Overhead press, JM press, Lying tricep extensions even c. 💪Isolation Exercises:Cable pressdowns, triceps kickbacks, overhead dumbbell extensions etc. - SHOULDERS The shoulder muscle has 3 heads- Anterior (Front) Deltoid, Medial/Lateral/Side Deltoid, and Rear deltoid. 💪Front Delts: Bench Press, overhead press, Dumbbell press(Compound) and front raises(isolation). 💪Side delts: side raises with dumbbells and cables) 💪 Rear delts: Rows, Face -pulls, tear delt flys. - How to train arms? ✅Pick 1-2 Compound and 1-2 isolation exercises for each session. ✅Focus on Compound movements first. ✅Do isolation exercises after doing compound exercises. ✅Train arms directly and indirectly 2-3 times per week. ✅Get stronger in Compound movements over time. ✅Maintain good technique ✅Try a combination of high and low reps. ✅Don't overdo it - If you want to learn more about training, subscribe to my YouTube channel (link in bio). - What is your favorite exercise for arms? . . . . . #armday💪 #armworkouts #bicepshot #armselfie #desiamerican #bayareafitness #mountainviewfitness #mountainviewca #bicepsandtriceps #biceptraining #indianfitness #powerliftingforfatloss #fitindian #indianmodels #underdogstrength #tacticalstrength #realworldstrength #strongisthenewfit #skinnyfat #shoulderworkouts #howtobuildmuscle #biggerarms #bodybuildingtips #fattomuscle #burnfatbuildmuscle #buildmuscleburnfat #indianbodybuilding #gymdouche #beginnerworkout #leangain (at California)
