If you train for strength or Powerlifting, this isn't the thread for you but feel free to contribute without a bias if you can.
There's far too many people who cannot get out of the way of their own ego. What do I mean by this?
If you're walking into the gym and going right to the exercise you can move the most weight on and you're actually conscious of how other people in the gym perceive your strength then you're doing yourself a disservice.
Lets take a chest day for example. The majority of gym-goers are going to walk into the gym and attempt to move around some 'heavy' weight on barbell or dumbbells and continue to move up in weight beyond what they can really control, squeeze, and concentrate on a mind-muscle connection. At this point you're no longer maximizing the recruitment of your chest and you're letting other muscle groups, momentum, or other structures play a larger role.
I get a good chuckle out of the guys who walk in with their ILS sit on a flat bench and then bounce 315 off their chest or half rep it yet still have a bird chest and noodle arms. Don't let that be you.
I don't even bother with barbell or dumbbells 90% of the time - machines, cables, or smith with good volume and intensity techniques = mind blowing chest workouts for example.
All these miscers who bitch and moan about what is/isn't possible naturally and have become self deprecating about their own progress are likely those I'm referring to with this post.

I don't know brah, maybe I can't stand listening to your jargon anymore. The fact that you talk a lot of **** that you can not back makes me believe that you do a lot of reading and not a lot of lifting. How Can you give advice to people without truly understanding what you are saying? The answer is you can't ..... You can not tell someone something without knowing if it works or not. You have no experience lifting. You hardly know anything. Everything you do know you read in a book or stole from someone else. You have no factual eveidence that it works. You just take advice from credible sources and post them as your own....As an aspiring personal trainer, who has actually spent time working in a gym, watching and criticizing and experimenting. Stop posting. You don't know what youre talking about. You know it too.

Agree wit op and the logic. Leave ego at the door.
I know who I am. And after all these years, there’s a victory in that.

My old favorite chest lift was incline smith machine.
Never put much weight on it maybe two 45's and two 25's, but the slow movement and contraction gave me a huge pump."Come over here, then," I said. He responded with, "You come over here.'I didn't hesitate. I got up and walked over to the foot of his bed.
