Grip placement on a barbell (or hand placement on a push-up) will affect where your body is worked. For example, a narrow grip bench press (or push-up) will work your triceps more and your chest less than a standard bench press (or push-up). Conversely, a wide grip bench will isolate your chest more and incorporate your tricep less.

Or on a pull-up, the wider you go, the more your back (a.k.a. lats) is worked and less your biceps are needed. Scoot your grip closer and you’ll make it easier by bringing your biceps in to help.

Knowing what you’re doing and why you’re doing it will go a long way to helping you reach your goals.

I was in a rough spot with my nutrition and my training was suffering. I reached out to Matthew for some advice hoping he would guide in the right direction. He told me about an accountability group he would facilitate. I accepted the invitation and never looked back. The nutrition plan was very good (tasteful) and being accountable to fitness was great… The people I took this journey with were fantastic and so encouraging. It was exactly what I needed at the time. Thank you Matthew for the experience and believing in me…
