Red5 Tribe, Lifting straps can be a game-changer for handling those heavy weight sets where grip strength might otherwise hold you back. Personally, I think they’re great for allowing you to focus on the lift itself rather than worrying about grip failure. However, I also believe it’s important to use them strategically and not rely on them all the time—working on your grip strength is still crucial. You can train your forearms specifically with exercises like farmers walk or wrist curls! Do you use lifting straps regularly or just for specific lifts? Red 5

Everyone has there own way of staying on track. Mine is the fact that no one is coming to save me (there is a bear chasing me) So no matter what circumstance I'm in (good or bad) I can't quit, I need to keep it moving. So I'm curious, what keeps you motivated?

Hey team, let's dive into what makes muscles grow: mechanical tension. Forget the latest fancy exercises; this is the key. Here’s the best explanation you’re going to hear: When you lift a weight, gravity wants to yank it down hard. This creates torque, trying to lengthen your muscles. Your muscles, being the heroes they are, fight back. They generate what's essentially anti-torque, working to prevent this lengthening. The heavier the weight or the more fatigued you get, the tougher this battle becomes. This constant tug-of-war between gravity and your muscles is what we call mechanical tension. So, if you want to maximize mechanical tension: Fewer quick, sloppy reps. More controlled, deliberate reps! Try focusing on this during your next workout. Feel that burn? That’s your muscles fighting gravity and growing stronger. Do you have any strategies for increasing mechanical tension? Red 5
