Alas, I wasn't chosen again 😞 I dream of one day being chosen for this. I'm so poor and can't afford this unfortunately, lol. I got bills and five kids, nuff said. #PPL4LYFE
I have to say that this is one of the BEST videos from Jeff. Small tweaks that may have been lost over the years that he brings up are just so beneficial. Thank you!
I agree! In fact i would like to see videos of him correcting other people at certain lifts. Jonni Shreve does a lot of videos in that style and i find them tremendously helpful.
Are you stating “Best “ video because you like the corrections and exercises? Or because the underline message through the entire video is “So many better exercises in his other videos”? Not good choices, just very popular.
@@davidrioux611 Best as in the fact that it gives choices and options to someone like myself that trains at home and lacks the benefit of outside assistance
Exactly. You just think the pains are part of the exercise over the years and it can't be fixed with a tiny change in technique. You even convince yourself that cramping pains are working extra muscles.
Every now and then Jeff reminds us of why he is the top person in fitness with astounding clarity. While it may be seen as geared for beginners, I have been training for 20+ years and like an old driver we need constant review. I found these tips invaluable and I’m very happy I came across this video. The delivery is also very informative and not overwhelming. It’s made me consider reviewing my current training split selection too. This is one of your best videos Jeff. Thank you.
@@drew388 I think you might be exaggerating to make a point, easily done. Regardless this video is of great use to me and I trust my ability to recognise that without your input, while respecting it.
This fall I started a weight and stretching regimen focused on golf fitness. I'm 57 years old and I realized the amount of time I have left to enjoy the game is directly related to how long I can maintain my strength and flexibility. Because I'm new to weight training I found myself searching for tips on the correct way to perform exercises. At first it was simply to keep from hurting myself but I realized pretty quickly it was also important to do exercises correctly to make sure the effort I was putting in was worthwhile by training the muscles properly. Anyway, I say all this to let you know I realized quickly that my searches kept coming back to your channel. Videos like this one have been invaluable to me training safely and in a matter of a few months finding myself in my best physical shape in a very long time. Thanks for what you do. You've helped this "old man" a great deal even though my goals might not be the same as your average viewer.
This was platinum. A brilliant mind sharing the gift of knowledge with no pride. He is a great example of find what you love to do, that one thing, and be the best at it. I was born missing my right hand Jeff and for years I have learned exercises and purchased your strength program. I use lifting hooks as a prosthetic to lift the barbell for rolls. And an ankle strap used for kickbacks , on my wrist to do cable exercises like shoulder press and chest fly's. Just want to share for any other amputees or birth caused missing limbs.
I discovered Jeff's videos during lockdown. I ditched leg press, leg extensions and leg curls. I brought back squats, and started doing Romanian deadlifts, split squats and hip thrusts. The difference was incredible - no more knee pain, strength improved, mass improved, my flexibility improved, and my overall stability is way better. I just turned 53 so I discovered this in the nick of time before I screwed myself completely. Thanks Jeff... and Jesse too, of course! :-)
I'm a 66 year old male who discovered Jeff in Feb, 22. He really knows his stuff. UA-cam has some good exercise channels, but Jeff is definitely at the top
I came from knees over toes guy and he preaches split squats. His channel is centered around knee pain, he was supposed to have surgery and then started doing the exercises instead. His channel is worth a look, he also has some great exercise videos. 40 years old and finally getting into shape. 🙂
Thanks for the tips for correcting these common mistakes! Thanks to your videos I've probably saved myself a lot of injuries that would have resulted from improper form. And, all the best in the new year, Jeff!
I've been doing so many things wrong for years. Weight training with the guidance of a physical therapist is like the holy grail for me, especially now that I'm not as young as I used to be. These videos are easily the best that I've seen on UA-cam. Concise and informative. Haven't seen one that I haven't learned something valuable.
Thank you, Jeff Cavaliere, for your insightful video on exercise mistakes. Your clear explanations and practical tips have empowered viewers to enhance their workouts, avoid injuries, and achieve better results. Your dedication to helping others improve their fitness journey is truly commendable.
I would say it’s not only targeting new year resolutioners. I train since 20 years and still have the feeling that from time to time it makes sense to remember myself how to do certain exercises correctly. Over the time I sometimes get a little bit sloppy and watching videos like this definitely help :-)
Hey Jeff, great tips. It’s the little details that make the difference. Sent to my 16 year old who is loving the gym (and with me). He did show me this guy a week ago that he thought I didn’t know and it was “Sam”. I told him not to take Sam’s advice as he’s not a professional clinician or has a masters in kinesiology, PT or a coach under any type of certification. It may work for Sam but Sam shouldn’t be giving out advice to anyone and his phone should be taken away until he’s responsible enough. I sent him your link and is starting to understand why we do certain movements and how they’re done properly. You’re in influencing another generation which is fantastic!!
I’m in my mid forties. Started working out mid may of 22. I’ve lost 49#. Elliptical for cardio and I have 4 sets of dumbbells and flat bench…it’s all I have room for. I’m glad to see most of what I do was correct. I must say I’ve watched countless of your videos and just wanted to say thank you for sharing. Happy new year. Hoping for another 20. Lol
I've never seen anyone give out the cue of flipping your grip on the EZ curl bar. I've been doing it that way for years just because I could feel a better contraction in the bicep. It's nice to see someone like Jeff confirming it. This is a great video for beginners and intermediate lifters. It will really cut down on the amount of time it takes to workout correctly by just trial and error.
I have been doing these exercises for a couple of months now and was thinking to myself while in the gym… “am I doing this right” then soon enough… here is the video that I needed and was very please with the info. Thank you very much for the update and for always being so precise with your explanations.
Thanks for reminding me what good form looks like on the lying tricep extensions and lateral raises. I'm afraid I've been doing those wrong for a while now😅
@@paulchristie3306 Thanks, especially if you've already screwed something up. Agree with preferring dips to tricep extensions for sure with the caveat that form here is critical as well. For example, ending forward in dips while trying to increase dip load leads to issues and reduces tricep focus. Pull ups are great as a compound exercise with a lot of bang-for-the-buck. They require a high fitness level to execute with enough reps for gains though. Using bands or doing negatives worked for me at this point.
Hey Jeff, been following you for many years. You helped me pack on 29 lb of muscle within 12 months after my type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Then diabetes type 1 diagnosis hit and stripprd me of all of that gain and more. I haven't given up, because I still watch all your videos. I hope there is still hope for me. But this kind of video is just such an incredible encouragement! It's not introducing anything new, per se, but it is exceptionally motivational for some guy who just turned 50 years old, AKA me. Thank you for pressing on! 👍
Been working out for years yet I feel we all could benefit from reviewing basics every once in a while. Thanks for doing this. I don’t do machines but other tips were really helpful
It's amazing how much difference correct form can make. This was the biggest bang for the buck video you've done in years. Thanks for demonstrating so many different exercises.
Lots of good intricate tips and fixes from Jeffrey here, even for those training longer than himself. Like the leg curls - over the years you just assume the lower back cramp just comes with the exercise. I do like leg extensions though, in addition to squats, as I have tiny knee joints and knobbly knees, and struggle to even stand up from parallel (thighs to floor), and extensions definitely develop the muscles that are above and around my kneecaps more than squats - which I think is needed if you are a jogger to stop your kneecaps flapping around.
1. You can't target individual muscle in your quads, Jeff explains in this video at 9:35 "The PERFECT Leg Workout (Sets and Reps Included) - athleanx" 2. He gives explanation in this video at 7:37 why you shouldn't do leg extension "TOP 5 WORST EXERCISES (Stop Doing These!!) - athleanx"
I hate the gym the first 3 weeks of the year. Filled with Resolutioners who are eventually going to hurt themselves by the third week and we won’t see them until the next “new year” after Labour Day.
The offsite videos are so dope because even in public, we can see Jeff is still the same informative, fast-talking guru. He doesn't change a bit, lol. It shows how real he is.
Thanks Jeff for reminding us again and again to those exercises we all do in gym, it’s so important to beginners like me, I watch every time before I do the workouts
Thank you Jeff. I always wondered why I saw the super ripped guys sinking so low into the leg during isolated bicep curls. Now I know why. You’re the man.
3:30 I tear something in my shoulder on a similar machine, never had it checked. It happened 20 years ago and that shoulder is still giving me trouble today. You are right, be very careful with these machines.
Nice video guys for new years. Also, as other people said, new people to the gym get injured, stop training, and then quit but with from videos like these maybe they can learn something.
Thanks brother. I sometimes need a refresher course in technique. For example, I generally do a curl bar superset of skull crushers to pullovers but now I will remember to slightly adjust the skull crusher into more of a stretch position. That will intensify the entire superset. Going in to plan for surgery to repair a 1.6 cm full thickness tear of the supraspinatus tendon. I have other tears including where biceps anchor to the should and grade 3 cartilage glenohumeral joint issue but... Anyway, I am continuing my workouts up to the day of surgery so I have a better starting point in my recovery. You have helped me a lot over the last several years Jeff. I just turned 51 and aside from being overweight I am in damn good shape for my age. Better than many 20 years my junior. FACE PULLS BRUH! 💯
Hey jeff, I watched an old video on this channel where you showed a couple of exercises for the core using the trx and I always see it in your videos hanging by the pullup bar so I was wondering if you could do more videos with the trx, as always thanks for your content, I think you're the best and most informative coach on youtube, keep up the good work.
I wish I had been educated about the knee on bench row about a year ago. I never liked that variation of the exercise because I knew something didn't feel quite right. I did it anyway for a few weeks (whilst following a program), and now I definitely feel tenderness in that area that can be aggravated with exercise. I couldn't figure out what did this to me because I never consciously place a strain on this area, but now I know. Thanks for the great video.
Jeff Cavalier, wow! Well done. I love your videos and I am a fan of yours. However a lot of your videos go into too much detail (not a criticism as I tend to do so myself). It is almost that you need two types of videos, one with in-depth explanations and another, with a quick 'this is how you do it right!' video. But when I clicked on this video, you've smashed it! You have found the happy medium. But, more significantly, you've corrected a lot of big gym mistakes and saved a few bodies from harm.
This video was brilliant. I am not an experienced weights user but I do most of these exercises and have picked up a lot of really useful information in this. Thanks for the content.
Very good material! I was thinking you will do a trash talk but hey! nice clean info with good angles to see how to do things and nice explanation! good work!
Usually I am always doing things the incorrectly so I find it hard to believe but I have not been doing these mistakes and have been doing these exercises the right way as suggested. I am glad I stumbled upon this video to confirm that I am doing things right, great video
12:30 Maybe the bent back wrists helps target the biceps a bit more, but as you tire, your wrists will go limp and fully bend backwards, which I'd let happen every time - and your wrists feel arthritic and warm, permanently, and click chronically. The ache goes away if you keep your wrists locked straight, and you will develop your biceps just as well - but the wrists clicking is with you for life. I have 15" upper arms and tiny girl's wrists though (17cm/
12:30 is the lat pulldowns, you mean 13:20 for Curl right? If you get tired, you need more forearm isolation work to train wrist flexors to hold the extension position instead of going limp, your biceps should reach failure before the forearms in a bicep exercise.
I've watched your videos for over 2 years and followed them as they actually do work on my body type(6'3" 230,46 years old, athletic build). But the 2 excersises that really took me to the next level was ,1.the pullup,when i saw about how to use my legs and glutes to improve my pullups, i thought that was nuts, but when i did it, it was a game changer for me as i struggled with them all my life. 2. the rubber band leg explosion, when i saw you use the rubber band and put your foot in them and then isolated the leg on FULL extension, both quads and then hamstrings and glutes, that exercise along helped me put on 40-50 pounds on my max squat. And 20-25 on my full power clean. I added a twist to the exercises though, i put a 45 rubber plate on the floor under the static leg(not in the rubber band) and what that did was gave my leg extra 2-3 inches on contraction on my quads. Then at the last 3 reps i engaged my hip muscles by doing a exterior rotation of the hip muscles as all the leg strength in the world doesn't matter unless you have a strong hip flexor and hip muscle(found this out the hard way in college). These 2 exercises literally changed the game for my patella injuries(that led to cartilage damage under my knee cap). And my upper body strength . TY
Not sure why I haven't been seeing your feeds like before but WoW, 13M subscribers and growing! Thanks Jeff, another valuable video, your are the real deal! 👍
Very helpful, whether we think we know how to do something right or not, the little cues and tweeks are always helpful, and for me, I work best when I see and then do. I watch some of these movements, then watch my own form in the mirror and go "ohhh, that's what Jeff meant!". Great video once again!
Dude.... When you started the pec deck machine thing I was like no way man... Cause I've been out of the gym for 3 months now because I hurt my shoulder really bad doing exactly this
Fun fact: Jeff doesn't know the guy working the exercises, he just went up to random people and started touching them and commenting on their form/ choice of exercise.
These are the type of videos I like to see! I've been working out at home recently since I moved away from my local gym, but I bet these still apply to free weight exercises!
Wow, so many great tips in this one video. I've been going to the gym more frequently since the beginning of the year and while I'm happy with with the progress, I feel that something was lacking. Whilst I do most correctly, I have to do some minor adjustments on some. Thanks!
I haven’t hit the gym in ages, used to train lots… seem to have developed real anxiety about going back and seeing all those familiar faces while I’m in such bad shape. This was a helpful video. I must get back to it!
I appreciate your videos man especially on how you talk about the one arm dumbbell row I’m glad I saw your previous videos and this to I’m thankful for the information you gave on the risks if you have one leg on the bench I’m gonna do what you do now the next time I hit back day thank you man I feel like you saved me
Jeff, you've trained me well. From just the first exercise you explained, leg extensions and why to squat instead, i can tell you right now my hams and glutes ARE actually my strong point compared to my quads. I do barbell squats, squat variations, lunges, and lunge variations, but no quad isolation exercises so to speak. As far as glutes and hams go, i lift heavier on my hip thrusts and deadlifts than i do on my squats. I also do reverse planks with ham curl, Nordic ham curl, kickbacks, hypertextension. For me, i just like the way it looks better on the female body (glutes and hams more developed than quads) but mine are not so far off from each other.

Thanks brother. I sometimes need a refresher course in technique. For example, I generally do a curl bar superset of skull crushers to pullovers but now I will remember to slightly adjust the skull crusher into more of a stretch position. That will intensify the entire superset.
Going in to plan for surgery to repair a 1.6 cm full thickness tear of the supraspinatus tendon. I have other tears including where biceps anchor to the should and grade 3 cartilage glenohumeral joint issue but... Anyway, I am continuing my workouts up to the day of surgery so I have a better starting point in my recovery.
You have helped me a lot over the last several years Jeff. I just turned 51 and aside from being overweight I am in damn good shape for my age. Better than many 20 years my junior.
FACE PULLS BRUH! 💯
Hey jeff, I watched an old video on this channel where you showed a couple of exercises for the core using the trx and I always see it in your videos hanging by the pullup bar so I was wondering if you could do more videos with the trx, as always thanks for your content, I think you're the best and most informative coach on youtube, keep up the good work.
This video
"HOW TO GET SIX PACK ABS...By Just Moving Your Arms!! (Secret 6 Pack ..."
I wish I had been educated about the knee on bench row about a year ago. I never liked that variation of the exercise because I knew something didn't feel quite right. I did it anyway for a few weeks (whilst following a program), and now I definitely feel tenderness in that area that can be aggravated with exercise. I couldn't figure out what did this to me because I never consciously place a strain on this area, but now I know. Thanks for the great video.
12:59 I like this motivation
Smelly
I didn’t even listen to what he said about that exercise...
I just can't understand the dumbbell lateral raise and lat pulldown due to this motivation....🥹
I noticed that she didn’t do one exercise the whole time she was on film …. A lot of phone time
I was looking for this comment haha
Jeff Cavalier, wow! Well done. I love your videos and I am a fan of yours. However a lot of your videos go into too much detail (not a criticism as I tend to do so myself). It is almost that you need two types of videos, one with in-depth explanations and another, with a quick 'this is how you do it right!' video. But when I clicked on this video, you've smashed it! You have found the happy medium. But, more significantly, you've corrected a lot of big gym mistakes and saved a few bodies from harm.
12:33 I missed everything that was said in this section.
I was very focused.
ty Jesse, great camera work
I WAS paying attention. He said, pull and attack everything in front of you..... peaches and onions, 🍑🌰. You welcome!! 👍
Just finished a functional anatomy class and now have a new appreciation for the advice in these videos.
This one covers everything. I'm already on an Athlean X program, but I watch every video Jeff does. It's so easy to forget the subtleties.
This video was brilliant. I am not an experienced weights user but I do most of these exercises and have picked up a lot of really useful information in this. Thanks for the content.
Great videos, Jeff! Getting gains like crazy and always look forward to seeing your material.
I do the knee on bench dumbbell lat raise, I had no idea its a hernia risk. Thank you for the info! Will do them as you suggested.
Around 5:20 Jeff explains how to NOT do the skull crusher, while a guy in the back is doing just that lmao
Whoopty fucking doo.
Jeff explains, is up to the rest to *listen*.
This Chanel is a gift to us viewers , who’s trying to better our performance without injuries .. Thank you 🙏🏾 this video was very much needed ..
I knew 12:20ish was gonna be the most replayed section...
Because there's so much information Jeff gave.
Thanks! Great video LOL
Yes ofc. For some reason it took me 5 times in order to understand what Jeff is saying
men of culture unite!lol
I keep rewatching it because after it's over, I realize I didn't hear a word Jeff said 😂
Busted!😄😄👍
Been following Jeff since 2019 when I started training regularly, still learning new knowledge and tips in 2023 (literally for free)!
17:07 😳😳
she said I didn't know this gym had a camera crew !! 🤣🤣
Lol
It amazes me how ignorant people (gym girls ) are🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
@@RAtW7 that was ignorant of you to say😂❤
Man thanks Jeff, Ive been doing the 1 arm db rows wrong for years by using the knee on the bench, I shall make your recommended changes.
Thanks for the tutorial on the lat pulldown machine Jeff...now I know how to target and isolate the glutes 🎯🍑
Can’t miss lat day
Although I don’t agree with everything you said, there is a ton of great instruction here. Thanks Jeff.
I agree, most of these tips are true/helpful. It was way better than I expected.
Thanks Jeff - looking forward to the 2023 videos!
Very good material! I was thinking you will do a trash talk but hey! nice clean info with good angles to see how to do things and nice explanation! good work!
5:23 that guy in the background is doing exactly what you said not to do LOL
Lolly I saw that
I saw it too 😂😂😂
Yeah the timing of that was perfect
This is the kind of video I am looking from Jeff.. the points you give are awesome for every one ..
Talking about full range of motion on stair Master as the guy next to you is doing exactly what you're saying not to 😂
Thanks for the tips. I do several of these workouts and will be changing how I do some of them. The lat pulldown and the one arm db row especially.
5:22 i like how he says for skullcrusher to not be above the skull, and some dude in the background doing it like that
Usually I am always doing things the incorrectly so I find it hard to believe but I have not been doing these mistakes and have been doing these exercises the right way as suggested. I am glad I stumbled upon this video to confirm that I am doing things right, great video
12:58
High quality camera work right there, as is most of this video. Thanks cameraman!
Yes, the cameraman really targeted and isolated the glutes 🍑😛
Great vid, and really appreciate the detailed write-up in the description to save from having to go back through the video for a refresher.
Thank you, Jeff! I learn so much from you!!!
12:30 Maybe the bent back wrists helps target the biceps a bit more, but as you tire, your wrists will go limp and fully bend backwards, which I'd let happen every time - and your wrists feel arthritic and warm, permanently, and click chronically. The ache goes away if you keep your wrists locked straight, and you will develop your biceps just as well - but the wrists clicking is with you for life. I have 15" upper arms and tiny girl's wrists though (17cm/
12:30 is the lat pulldowns, you mean 13:20 for Curl right?
If you get tired, you need more forearm isolation work to train wrist flexors to hold the extension position instead of going limp, your biceps should reach failure before the forearms in a bicep exercise.
12:58 - I definitely didn't go limp...
Everyone in the background: pretending to workout but really wanting to be in Jeff’s video 😂
Especially the girl by the cables
@@KM-hk8tc I ain't complaining 🤗
@ K M
I was hoping he was going to use her to demonstrate how to work the glutes
I've watched your videos for over 2 years and followed them as they actually do work on my body type(6'3" 230,46 years old, athletic build). But the 2 excersises that really took me to the next level was ,1.the pullup,when i saw about how to use my legs and glutes to improve my pullups, i thought that was nuts, but when i did it, it was a game changer for me as i struggled with them all my life. 2. the rubber band leg explosion, when i saw you use the rubber band and put your foot in them and then isolated the leg on FULL extension, both quads and then hamstrings and glutes, that exercise along helped me put on 40-50 pounds on my max squat. And 20-25 on my full power clean. I added a twist to the exercises though, i put a 45 rubber plate on the floor under the static leg(not in the rubber band) and what that did was gave my leg extra 2-3 inches on contraction on my quads. Then at the last 3 reps i engaged my hip muscles by doing a exterior rotation of the hip muscles as all the leg strength in the world doesn't matter unless you have a strong hip flexor and hip muscle(found this out the hard way in college). These 2 exercises literally changed the game for my patella injuries(that led to cartilage damage under my knee cap). And my upper body strength . TY
I almost thought I'd never see non BS advice videos from Jeff
This one is so better
Not sure why I haven't been seeing your feeds like before but WoW, 13M subscribers and growing!
Thanks Jeff, another valuable video, your are the real deal! 👍
12:58 stay focused guys , don’t be distracted 😤😤
Very helpful, whether we think we know how to do something right or not, the little cues and tweeks are always helpful, and for me, I work best when I see and then do. I watch some of these movements, then watch my own form in the mirror and go "ohhh, that's what Jeff meant!". Great video once again!
Dude.... When you started the pec deck machine thing I was like no way man... Cause I've been out of the gym for 3 months now because I hurt my shoulder really bad doing exactly this
This is why I do floor flys, instead.
Can't wait for those 2023 gains!!!
Thanks Jeff and Jesse.
💪🏼😎👍🏻
Plz make vdo of PPL exercise
Perfect timing since i joined the gym last week, as always amazing content Jeff keep it going
Fun fact: Jeff doesn't know the guy working the exercises, he just went up to random people and started touching them and commenting on their form/ choice of exercise.
😂
Love writing notes down from your videos it seams Iv been doing every exercise wrong 😑 you explain it so well thanks 🥰
Lat pull-down and lateral raise were the best parts.
That chick did nothing in the gym just for show type of chick that’s gonna be on tik tok complaining about guys hitting on her at gym
These are the type of videos I like to see! I've been working out at home recently since I moved away from my local gym, but I bet these still apply to free weight exercises!
Jesse fighting for his life to keep up the reps while you talk
Excellent video. Best one for a long time and very practical. Love the movements explained including cardio.
Gotta be honest, at 13:12 I was not paying attention to jeff
I see what you mean
Wow, so many great tips in this one video. I've been going to the gym more frequently since the beginning of the year and while I'm happy with with the progress, I feel that something was lacking. Whilst I do most correctly, I have to do some minor adjustments on some. Thanks!
Had to look at the lat pulldown part 3 times to actually listen...
Yeah, I had the same problem... couldn't hear or see Jeff. I'll have to watch a few more times because correct form on lat pulldowns is crucial 😅😂🤣
I have been using the pinky up technique forever and my shoulders has paid the price. I'm so greatfull for your advice thank you love the videos man.
You gained a lot of muscle on your biceps since last time I watched you.(or it seems that way at least.) Nice.
I haven’t hit the gym in ages, used to train lots… seem to have developed real anxiety about going back and seeing all those familiar faces while I’m in such bad shape. This was a helpful video. I must get back to it!
12:58 Men of culture we meet once again
Videos on how to perform with a proper form are really helpful, thank you
The worst mistake is to skip legs day
I’ve missed months of leg days after having 2 foot surgeries. I hate it. Hopefully I’ll be cleared to weight train again soon,
I appreciate your videos man especially on how you talk about the one arm dumbbell row I’m glad I saw your previous videos and this to I’m thankful for the information you gave on the risks if you have one leg on the bench I’m gonna do what you do now the next time I hit back day thank you man I feel like you saved me
Jeff, you've trained me well. From just the first exercise you explained, leg extensions and why to squat instead, i can tell you right now my hams and glutes ARE actually my strong point compared to my quads. I do barbell squats, squat variations, lunges, and lunge variations, but no quad isolation exercises so to speak. As far as glutes and hams go, i lift heavier on my hip thrusts and deadlifts than i do on my squats. I also do reverse planks with ham curl, Nordic ham curl, kickbacks, hypertextension. For me, i just like the way it looks better on the female body (glutes and hams more developed than quads) but mine are not so far off from each other.
I love watching these videos, I'm pretty much doing everything wrong and
It shows...
Just un shrugging my shoulders helps so much!
(I was pinching)
BLOODY BRILLIANT! So easy to get into bad habits - even small ones - without knowing. As of today, proper useful form. THANK YOU!
Always helpful tutorials!😊 I enjoyed this series. Occasionally, I like a change from free weights & use machines.
