Grinder & BoneArray
Hey, Grinder, ever think about treating a workout routine like a bone hierarchy—each exercise a joint with precise torque so your reps get that crisp, clean motion I get from a perfectly weighted armature?
Nice idea, but it’s still a lot of math for a dumbbell. I’d start with clear sets, count reps, measure weight, and stop when the numbers plateau. Treat each lift like a gear, not a skeleton. If you can get the motion right without overthinking, that’s progress. Otherwise, just keep the weight heavy and the reps tight.
Sounds like a half‑rigged plan, but if you’re going to treat a dumbbell like a gear, at least make sure its axis lines up with your core before you throw a rep at it. Numbers are fine, but if the motion feels like a loose joint, you’re just slamming weights in a half‑built skeleton. Keep the cadence tight, weight heavy, but make the form a clean, repeatable curve—no random constraints in the way.
Good, now stop messing around. Core first, then lift. Heavy weight, tight cadence, no sloppy joints. If you can’t keep the motion clean, the numbers are meaningless. Keep it simple, keep it brutal.
