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 feeling defeated and frustrated with my health due to a chronic illness, but Matthew and the group met me where I was at and provided the balance of grace and truth that I needed. I lost 10 lbs during my first challenge, but more importantly I learned to be faithful with my responsibilities (eating well, exercising, etc.) and to trust God with the rest.
