Episode notes
Posing Strengths And Weaknesses
- Geoffrey describes strong and weak posing points, noting side triceps and most muscular are good but front lat spread and abs/thigh need work.
- He attributes some posing limits to mobility and scapular/shoulder internal rotation.
Advanced Muscle Gains Look Bigger
- Small muscle gains at advanced levels look disproportionately large because new muscle sits on existing muscle.
- Progress is nonlinear and even a few kilos can transform appearance at higher levels.
Target Weak Points With Better Exercise Choice
- Stop blaming genetics before auditing exercise selection and technique for underdeveloped areas.
- Move deliberately to bring the muscle close to failure with specific, targeted mechanics.
