Building Strength, Inside and Out


In Coach Mode: Guiding Lukas Stühn Through A Push Day

Coaching

Lukas Stühn just released a YouTube video from a push day training session at Undefeated Gym where we worked through chest, shoulders, and posing together.

The focus of the session wasn’t doing anything flashy — it was about fundamentals done correctly. We worked with controlled negatives, clean reps, and the idea of lifting with precision instead of ego, covering many of the same topics I’ve been covering here on my blog.

When the movement stays tight, lighter weight suddenly becomes heavy, and the target muscle actually does the work. Drop sets were used to extend quality work, not to cover up sloppy execution.

We also spent time on posing, which I think is still underestimated by a lot of athletes. You can have a great physique, but if you don’t know how to present it, the judges never see your best version. As Lukas realizes in the video, bodybuilding is about creating an illusion — showing your strengths and minimizing your weaknesses — and posing is how you do that. You can look big in person but small on stage if you don’t know the art of posing.

Posing tips

What I appreciate most about sessions like this is the energy. Sharing knowledge, helping other athletes sharpen their training, and keeping the culture positive is something I enjoy more and more. This sport grows when we help each other train smarter and stay consistent.
