I want to start today's episode off with a concept, a little swelosophy. The quote is,

a misused tool is useless. A misused tool. Now, when I get a lot of questions about specific

exercises in a gym, what's the best exercise for biceps, what's the best, what's the best for abs,

what's the best, what's the best? What's the best?

There is no best. Everything in the gym, whether it's a dumbbell, a barbell, a chain, a band, a kettlebell.

It's just a tool. It comes down to how you use it. You could build muscle with any of the different

apparatuses in the gym. You could build muscle at home.

You could build muscle outside.

You could build muscle in so many different places.

It depends on what your goals are and what type of stress you put on the body.

And certain pieces of equipment, certain tools are able to do so in a manner that can optimize certain outcomes like muscle growth. Some might be more convenient for

traveling. Some might be convenient for small spaces. Some might be more optimal for producing

maximum strength if you're doing power lifting and such. And there's different components of

strength with hypertrophy muscle size and muscle strength. There is some crossover there,

not to mention with endurance.

And then, of course, there's the aesthetic approach and you want to look a certain way.
