One World Transformation • Antwaun Smith, Chest/Shoulder/Tri

Professional bodybuilder Antwaun Smith is in the house. Sometimes it helps to get another perspective on the old standbys many of us have been doing for years. It’s great to do it in a gym we both call home.

It’s no surprise that Antwaun shares a lot of my techniques. He’s my nephew and I’ve been sharing techniques with him for a long time.

However, it’s interesting to see the differences. Antwaun does 8-12 reps on flat bench. I usually do 6-8 reps. Plus, Antwaun takes a wider grip on bench and behind the neck press.

You’re gonna find differences at any level. Top athletes put their stamp on things. Once you master the basics, feel free to listen to your body, your instincts, find your own path.

Great sculptors and painters sometimes use different techniques, different tools, to bring their vision into reality. Bodybuilding can be similar in this way.

We all have different weak points and injury potential. Therefore, it’s okay to strive for a personal approach to what you emphasize, what grips you use, and what exercises you gravitate toward. That’s the artistry, the best part of bodybuilding, in my opinion.

Antwaun did a great job, so thanks, Antwaun.

Guys and girls, I’m hoping you’re taking what you can use and training alongside TLR. This is week four of the One World transformation. I have thrown tons of new stuff your way, so you should be changing it up and keeping your workout fresh, shocking the muscles and seeing gains. I know I am.

Looking forward to checking in with Byron and Cindy tomorrow.

Peace,

Kevin
