Film yourself from behind. Watch if one shoulder blade wings or moves up sooner than the other. That points directly to serratus or trap imbalances.

Red light therapy panels. I thought it was all influencer nonsense, but it legit helps with joint stiffness and quicker recovery between push days. Didn’t expect it to work, but it surprised me.

Lateral raises every session. I swear by high reps with cables for that clean, capped shape.

Try cream of rice with a scoop of whey and some honey. It’s lighter than oats but still gives you slow, clean carbs. Total lifesaver before leg day.

Vitamin D and fish oil. Not sexy, but they actually help long-term with energy and joints.

Yes! My bench feels so shaky, gonna try locking in my shoulders more.

I’ve been skipping accessories, maybe that’s why I stall sometimes.

That’s motivating, I always thought I had to add big weight jumps to progress.

Haha true, I feel awkward sometimes with just the bar, but I’ll own it.

I only have running shoes now. Guess I need to grab flat trainers?
