My back is one of my weakest body parts. I find certain exercises for me make it difficult to feel my back and my arms take over. Traditional close grip t-bars are something that I felt but never that great. I tired this variation with a slightly wider grip and with palms facing out just a bit. It was like a light went off. The contraction in my lats was so hard and felt nothing in my arms. The point of this is just to say, don’t always get locked into convention. I didn’t reinvent the movement, just adjusted it to fit my mechanics because the end goal is progress, not to do it exactly like Ronnie did. And yes with that small adjustment that was all the weight I could lift... for now #back #growth #lats #adjustment #progress #backday #weakbodypart #alwayslearning #newfavourite #trainharderDug way back for this hump day tribute. 🖤🖤 @rgo.photo 📷Let’s talk prep - honestly. The look required for prep is not normal, so the measures taken to reach it can be extreme. The situation is going to be totally different for everyone, depending on how well you lose weight, your starting point, your work ethic, and your mindset. Don’t lose weight well, carrying excessive body fat to start, or can’t control your stress levels? Plan on a longer and probably harder prep. Doesn’t sound like fun? Keep going to the gym for basic health benefits then. That’s. Totally. Ok. Prep isn’t (and shouldn’t) be for everyone. If you want to prep, be ready to shut off your mind, stick to a plan, put a ton of work in, and probably feel like crap some days. There’s no magic, no matter what a coach tries to tell you - with or without extra help. That’s just the truth. #eatless #domore #compprep #ironforgedfitness #flashbackpicThis is such a fun competition in the schedule.
