Stable Muscle Growth

In a previous newsletter I mentioned the importance of stability during your weight workouts…

No, I’m not talking about wearing a rubber wetsuit—although it is a cool look…

Stability is creating a solid base for an exercise so that you can engage the most muscle fibers without balance problems or body shifting.

In a previous newsletter, I mentioned cable rows vs. chest-supported rows. Using chest support makes it less difficult for your torso to sway.

A similar example is cable crossovers vs. vertical-bench cable flyes. The more challenging the weight, the more your torso will shift without the back support…

But with a vertical bench behind you, you’ll feel much more powerful and be able to drive with superior pec activation.

There is setup time for the bench flyes—unless there’s a flye machine available. Either way, the braced stretch and more powerful contraction is well worth it.

And if you want to hit the gym in a rubber wetsuit, The Frog is an awesome nickname.

Note: You’ll find more ideal exercises, add-ons and workouts in the ebooks below.
