Hey, what's up, everyone? Coach Malek back in the building!

Ever feel like your body has a favorite side? Like one pec is always showing off, while the other is playing shy? Or maybe one shoulder could press a car, but the other struggles with your gym bag? Trust me, you're NOT alone.

I get messages about this ALL. THE. TIME. Just like my guy Reese, who was dealing with one pec stealing the spotlight. But here's the good news: you don't have to live with these imbalances!

Stop the Barbell Madness (For Now!) 🛑

If you're constantly using barbells when you've got a strength imbalance, you're basically letting your stronger side carry the weaker one. It's like the stronger kid in school always doing most of the group project. Time to switch things up!

For the next 2-3 weeks, we're hitting the PAUSE button on all barbell exercises. That means:

• 🚫 No more barbell bench press

• 🚫 Step away from the barbell shoulder press

The Secret Weapon: Go Single! 💥

This is where the magic happens. We're going to isolate each side and force that weaker muscle to WORK. Think single-arm everything:

• ✅ Dumbbell presses (all angles!)

• ✅ Kettlebell presses and rows

• ✅ Single-arm machine exercises (if your gym has them)

Here's the game plan:

• 🔥 Always start with your WEAKER side. It needs the most love and attention. Hit it hard while you're fresh.

• 😤 Push it! Don't be afraid to challenge that weaker side. Focus on controlled movements and feeling the muscle work.

• 🔄 Then, move to your stronger side. You can use the same weight or slightly less. The goal here is to match the fatigue of the weaker side.

Trust me on this. Forcing that weaker side to work independently is the KEY to bringing it up to par.

Want That Defined Inner Chest? Try THIS Killer Superset! 🔥🔥

And speaking of common goals, who here wants to carve out that impressive inner chest? That little detail that makes your pecs look like they're chiseled from stone?

Forget endless sets of regular presses. We're going SUPERSET style with my two go-to exercises:

Superset: Squeeze Press + Machine Fly

1. 💪 Squeeze Press (Heavy):

   • Grab two dumbbells and hold them together at the top.

   • Lower them slowly, keeping them in contact, aiming the top of the dumbbells towards your lower chest/nipple line.

   • Press back up, squeezing the dumbbells together HARD throughout the entire movement. Imagine you're trying to crush something between them!

2. 🦋 Machine Fly (Moderate Weight, Higher Reps):

   • Immediately hop onto a chest fly machine.

   • Focus on squeezing your chest muscles together at the peak of the movement.

   • Control the negative (the return) and really feel the stretch in your chest.

Do 3-4 sets of this superset, and tell me your inner chest isn't on FIRE! 🔥
