#81 Should You Push Through Your Reps?

In this weekly live Q&A in Tom The Trainer’s Tribe, I answered questions for the members and some of my clients regarding...How important is getting your heart rate up to a certain level while weight training? Or while doing cardio?How do you handle those days when you just don’t have it in you? Reduce sets, reduce weight, reduce reps, or consider the main compounds enough success and call it a day?Upper hams. How can I best activate the top halves? "No matter what hamstring-focused exercises I perform, I seem to feel them lower towards the knees, and if I’m lucky around the middle". To creatine or not to creatine?Old school vs. New school way of training. If you listen to all those new Instagram “stars”, even Arnold or Ronnie did it wrong: Wrong pull downs, wrong lateral raises, etc. Everything needs to be slow and very controlled. But looking at those guys, they did it right… Didn't they?Split Squatting. How to keep the knee of your working leg from bowing in or out?Elbow flare on shoulder press. "When I try to bring a barbell to my chest, my rotator cuff feels it, and I presume I’m internally rotating despite trying to keep my chest proud. Do I need to actually hit my chest and get a form check, or can I stop short if I feel that I’m achieving a solid stretch prior to my chest?Thoughts on Mike Mentzer Method.Join Tom The Trainer’s Tribe and message me the word “coaching” on Instagram at Tomthetrainerfitness or Facebook at Tom Trainer Mouland!Have the best day ever!
