Vibes Training

I'm decently good at most things that involve physical fitness.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I say most because as I found out a few weeks ago I am *not* good at rock climbing. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
But I loved it anyway!!! I'm always up for a new challenge and learning how to rock climb was very much that.⁠⁠

Shoutout to for the video and for hosting us in Colorado and going on adventures with us!

The other day I posted a video of one of my rad clients doing a super heavy bicep curl so today I wanted to talk about one of the exercises I have all of my clients do to help increase bicep strength and power.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
In this video I'm doing eccentric focused bicep curls. The "eccentric" part of a lift is the down movement. So you'll see that I'm going down really, really, reallllly slow. Put simply, the down part of a movement is where you get the most gains. So focusing on the down part helps make you stronger! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Now, you'll also notice that on the "up" part of the movement I'm using all sorts of momentum and legs and shoulders and generally have horrible bicep curl form. Regularly, I would never use that type of momentum for a bicep curl, but the point of this exercise is to overload the biceps with a weight you couldn't regularly do.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
To do that, it sometimes takes a bit of momentum and struggle to get the weight up, but from there you focus on really smooth, controlled form on the way down. This 1. emphasizes the down portion which promotes more muscle growth and 2. teaches your body what it feels like to handle heavier loads than it's used to.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Give this exercise a try!⁠⁠

For years tried to convince me to join the team but it always sounded absolutely awful to me because I hated rowing and they practiced before sunrise.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Years later rowing is now my favorite form of cardio and I wake up before the sunrise every day 😅⁠⁠

Weird how life works some times

(Also pretty sure my form could use some improvement, so tips are welcome )
