Triceps hack 👀

One of my favourite little hacks for hitting the triceps.

Take the lat pulldown bar, put it into the chest press machine and use a close grip.

It basically turns the chest press into a really solid triceps press.

I also spoke about getting some cushioning for the bar/machine to help protect both over time 👌🏻

Give it a go next time you’re training triceps and don’t forget to tag me💪🏻

Calories creeping back up, feeling strong and getting some serious pumps.🔥

The hardest part is fighting that mindset of “I’m getting fat.”

I’ve always hated the “I want to build muscle and lose fat” mindset. Sometimes you have to pick a goal and commit to it.

You can build muscle while losing fat, but if you really want to maximise one goal, sometimes you need to commit to it.

If you want to put on size, calories need to go up. You might lose a bit of definition along the way, but that’s part of the process.

Trust the process.

Have a great weekend guys 👌🏻

Your biggest critic will always be yourself.

Someone else can tell you you look great, and you’ll still see what needs improving.

Don’t let that stop you appreciating the progress.

Keep going. Keep improving. Just remember to recognise how far you’ve come. 🧱 📈

Most people grab the wide bar for pulldowns and completely ignore this attachment.

But there’s a reason it’s there 👇

1st clip: Wide overhand grip
➡️ Wider hand position
➡️ Elbows travel more out to the sides
➡️ Great option for your pulldowns

2nd clip: Neutral-grip handles
➡️ Palms facing each other
➡️ More natural elbow path
➡️ Can feel more comfortable on the shoulders
➡️ Great option for getting a strong lat contraction

Neither is “better” — they’re just different.

Try both. Find the grip that gives you the best control, range of motion and connection with your back. 👌🏻

Back on the upper body grind 🫰🏻

Simple session. Heavy compounds, controlled reps, then some supersets to finish. 🔥

6–8 reps on the big lifts | 8–12 on accessories.

Save this and let me know how you find it 🔥

I’d rather see you lift less weight properly than more weight badly.

One thing I’m certain about: EX*****ON. 👊🏻

Controlled reps. Good technique. Own the weight.

Find a weight you can execute properly, then progressively overload it over time.

Own the weight first. Then earn the weight. 👌🏻
