Your arms aren’t small. Your triceps are.

Most people obsess over biceps… and completely neglect the muscle that makes up 2/3 of your arm size.

If your arms lack thickness, shape, or that “filled out” look - it’s not genetics. It’s poor tricep development and bad angles of attack.

In this video I break down:
– The 3 heads of the triceps (long, lateral, medial)
– How angle of movement changes activation
– Why most people train triceps wrong
– How to actually build bigger, fuller arms

Train smarter. Not just harder.

This is how you build arms that look strong relaxed, not just pumped.

Most people think you need a gym to build your glutes.

You don’t.

This is a hip thrust using a chair - one of the most effective glute exercises you can do anywhere.

The key is ex*****on:
Feet planted
Upper back supported
Drive through your heels
Full squeeze at the top
Control on the way down

If you’re not feeling it in your glutes, you’re rushing it.

This is how you build strength, shape, and control without machines.

Simple. Effective. No excuses.

Everyone will tell you to relax.

To enjoy yourself.

To stop training and working so hard.

They mean well, but they are not where you want to be.

Do not listen.

Keep pushing.

WIN.

Most people train shoulders…

…but miss entire parts of the muscle.

Your deltoids have three heads:
• Front (anterior)
• Side (lateral)
• Rear (posterior)

If you only press, you’re mainly hitting the front.

To build rounded, complete shoulders, you need to train all three:

Standing shoulder press → front delts
Lateral raises → side delts (width)
Bent-over raises → rear delts (balance and posture)

This is how you create that broad, capped look.

Not more exercises.
Better selection. Better intent.

Longevity isn’t luck.
It’s built.

Three things drive how long - and how well - you live:

Health.
Aesthetics.
Genetics.

Most people focus on one.
The ones who last focus on all three.

Health is your foundation.
– Cardiovascular fitness
– Strength
– Mobility
– Recovery

Without it, nothing else holds.

Aesthetics isn’t vanity.
It’s a reflection of discipline.

A lean, strong body tells you:
you’re training properly
you’re eating with intent
you’re consistent over time

That carries into everything.

Genetics matter.
But they’re not your excuse — they’re your baseline.

You don’t control your starting point.
You control how far you take it.

Train long enough, eat well enough, recover properly —
and you outperform your genetics.

Longevity is built through daily decisions:

– Lift with purpose
– Move your body every day
– Eat to fuel, not just to fill
– Sleep like it matters (because it does)

This isn’t about living longer on paper.
It’s about living stronger for longer.

That’s the goal.

Discipline. Structure. Ex*****on.

Most people don’t fail because they can’t.
They fail because they stop.

Training isn’t about motivation.
It’s about showing up when you don’t feel like it.

That’s where the change happens.

You don’t need perfect conditions.
You don’t need the “right time.”
You need structure, consistency, and intent.

This is what real training looks like:
– Energy
– Focus
– Pushing past comfort
– Repeating it daily

That’s how you build a body.
That’s how you build discipline.

I’ve built Forged by Blake for exactly this.

Structured training.
Clear progression.
No guesswork.

Gym, home, or outdoor —
everything mapped out so you just show up and execute.

Most people don’t have weak glutes.
They have poor mechanics.

And it shows in how they lift.

Your glutes are the engine behind almost every powerful movement you do —
but only if you know how to use them.

You’re working three key muscles:

– Glute max → size, power, hip extension
– Glute med → stability, control, single-leg strength
– Glute min → alignment and movement efficiency

Ignore them, and everything else compensates.

That’s why you feel lifts in your lower back…
instead of where they’re supposed to be.

Now understand this:

Deadlifts and RDLs are not the same.

Deadlift:
– Starts from the floor
– More knee bend
– Full-body movement
– Focus on driving through the floor and standing tall

RDL (Romanian Deadlift):
– Starts from the top
– Minimal knee bend
– Pure hip hinge
– Focus on stretch and tension in the hamstrings and glutes

Deadlifts build strength.
RDLs build control and muscle.

You need both.

If you rush either movement, you lose the glutes.
If you don’t control the hinge, your lower back takes over.

That’s the mistake most people make.

Train your glutes with intent:

– Push the hips back, don’t just drop down
– Keep constant tension, no bouncing or dropping
– Squeeze at the top without leaning back
– Control every rep, especially the descent

Women chase glutes for shape.
Men ignore them — and limit their strength because of it.

Strong glutes = stronger lifts, better posture, more power.

It’s not optional.
It’s foundational.

If your deadlifts aren’t hitting your glutes…
you’re not lifting wrong weight - you’re lifting wrong pattern.

Most people turn deadlifts into a lower back exercise
because they rush the movement and lose control.

The glutes only engage when you hinge properly and finish with intent.

Here’s what to focus on:

– Set your feet and root them into the floor (drive through mid-foot/heel)
– Push your hips back, don’t just drop down to the bar
– Brace your core before you lift — protect the spine
– Keep the bar close to your body the entire time
– Drive through the floor, then finish by squeezing your glutes hard at the top
– Don’t lean back — stand tall and controlled
– Control the descent, don’t just drop the weight

The lockout is where most people lose it.
That’s where your glutes should be doing the work.

No tension = no result.

Train with intent.
That’s the difference between lifting weight and building a body.

Most people don’t struggle with results.
They struggle with ex*****on.

The RDL is one of the most effective movements for building your posterior chain - but only if you do it properly.

Most don’t.

They bend their knees too much.
They drop the weight instead of controlling it.
They feel it in their lower back instead of their hamstrings.

That’s not training. That’s guessing.

Here’s how to actually perform an RDL:

– Soft bend in the knees, not a squat
– Push your hips back, don’t drop down
– Keep the bar close to your legs the entire time
– Maintain a neutral spine, no rounding
– Control the eccentric — this is where the growth happens
– Stop when your hamstrings are fully stretched, not when the weight hits the floor

If you’re not feeling tension in your hamstrings, you’re not doing it right.

Master the basics.
That’s where the physique is built.

Discipline. Structure. Ex*****on.

Most people don’t need more information.

They need to apply what they already know.

Train a few times a week.
Eat properly.
Get enough sleep.

Do that consistently for 3–6 months
and your body will change.

It’s not complicated.
It’s just not easy to stick to.
