Achieving Your Fitness Goals, One Squat at a Time

Squatting is simply the best exercise for your legs. A lot of people won't do it because it's hard work. It takes your whole body and puts you through physical. I am here to make it easier for you.

The best way to still get the same benefits from squatting and take less of a toll on the whole body is to use a smith machine. A smith machine will take a lot of weight off your back and allow you to focus more on your contraction between glutes and quads.

A smith machine can be useful in so many different ways, especially when it comes to leg exercises like squats. When used correctly, the machine will help prevent any back injuries and you will have better form. I would recommend using this if you are a beginner or you have back problems from squatting with free weights.

Some of the benefits you get when you use a smith machine is the bar is connected to the pole, it does not move, allowing it to have much better form. This makes you very stable and holds the weight still. The smith machine also provides very good isolation on your quads; it allows you to move slowly, giving more of a burn to your quads.

If you need an alternative to hitting squats but still want to get a great workout, I would highly recommend trying this. It hits the same parts of your legs.

I personally started to do this when I had lower back problems and stopped squatting. I still wanted to squat and get the same benefits from it. This was a awesome replacement.

I learned a ton of great information from Ryan Jewers, who is a coach and social media influencer. Also, I discovered smith machine benefits, which took my lifting experience to a different level. They provide great tips and tricks with the smith machine.

This will take your leg gains to a whole new level. Start taking advantage of the Smith machines, and you will start to enjoy squats way more and make extreme progress.

Blog 1 September 13, 2023   Unleashing the gains By: Finley McGehee Welcome to my fitness blog. The purpose of this blog is to share some of my favorite exercises for optimal muscle growth. I want to share my personal experiences in the gym and provide tips for strength performance and muscle development. I started lifting when I was 15 years old, and to say the least, it has been a journey. Lifting taught me so many important life lessons like dedication and discipline. These things factor my day to day life. My physique was something I was insecure about in the past. I once hated going to the gym; but found my love for it when I started figuring out optimal and fun exercises. I started to progress faster, and that's when I became obsessed with the gym. I was seeing growth, and ever since then, I have chased self-improvement through the gym, leading to becoming a better person in other ways. Learning how to lift correctly takes years, and even then, you always find new ways to imp...

Dont forgot about your upper chest

  https://mirafit.co.uk/blog/best-exercises-for-upper-middle-and-lower-chest/ Do you ever see a guy in the gym with a really popped-out chest? It almost looks like his chest is popping out of his body. Having problems developing your chest? One of the main reasons is the lack of upper chest movements.  Most chest exercises target your lower and middle sections. The upper chest is almost forgotten about, and most machines or casual exercises you see just train the lower and middle. I am here to show you a few exercises to help you develop a more fulfilled chest. My personal favoriteI would be an incline bench on a smith machine. It's the same as a regular bench movement except you move the bench upward, making it inclined. You can do the same thing with the dumbbell bench press or incline fly. These exercises will help complete a better balance in your chest.  One mistake that I see a lot of people making is rushing this movement. They will proceed to unrack the weight and...
