Learn the anatomy and biomechanics behind every lift to train smarter, not just harder. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Have you ever felt intense muscle pain the day after a workout? This is called Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness or DOMS. I explain the science behind it, including the role of microscopic tears and lactic acid, and how to manage recovery.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/8987ed8d-61c5-490f-8720-9e15781661b4) - [Video: A common question is whether spinal flexion is safe during a deadlift. I explain that while neutral spine is crucial for heavy lifts to prevent injury, controlled flexion with light weight can improve mobility for advanced athletes. The key is understanding who you are training.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/0e21c35a-f74d-4345-bbc9-df7ff60933ea) - [Video: Does everyone who works out need protein powder? I address this common myth by explaining what a supplement is. It's an addition, not a replacement, and is only necessary if your dietary protein intake is insufficient for your activity level.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e208d399-6e7e-40d0-b8cd-68c2a85ae2ab) - [Video: On World Heart Day, I discuss the importance of cardiovascular fitness. Many people walk on a treadmill, but it may not be at the right intensity to actually improve heart health. I explain how to train effectively for a stronger cardiovascular system.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/1550696e-2828-4ad0-99fc-cdabbbf10e58) - [Video: Here, I demonstrate how to perform a Romanian Deadlift correctly. The key is the hip hinge movement, pushing the hips back while keeping the spine neutral to properly engage the hamstrings and glutes.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/1be43a17-3354-47c7-a7dd-abc42a0fe776) - [Video: The dumbbell lateral raise is often done incorrectly. I point out the three most common mistakes: swinging the body, hyperextending the wrist, and elevating the scapula. Avoiding these is key to targeting the deltoid muscle effectively.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/5421a250-b52e-4e8c-90c7-d1836a0d3a92) - [Video: Should you use a cable or a dumbbell for a lateral raise? I explain why the cable can be a safer and more effective option. It provides constant tension throughout the entire range of motion, unlike a dumbbell where the load is highest at one point.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/6c5718fb-8b87-440a-ae61-2f7075053055) - [Video: When using dumbbells for a lateral raise, the difficulty peaks when your arm is parallel to the floor. I explain how sitting down and controlling the movement without swinging prevents momentum from taking over, ensuring the muscle does the work and reducing injury risk.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/bae89927-dc90-4798-96f8-f383d8c71ae9) ## About The Science of Fitness: Exercise Breakdowns When performing a lateral raise, most people swing their bodies or shrug their shoulders to compensate. These mistakes reduce the load on your deltoids and increase injury risk. By stabilizing your scapula and controlling the cable tension throughout the range of motion, you isolate the muscle effectively rather than relying on momentum. Understanding biomechanics is the difference between a casual gym-goer and a true coach. In these videos, I strip away the myths that plague our industry. We do not subscribe to the 'no pain, no gain' philosophy because science tells us otherwise. Whether you are dealing with Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) after heavy squats or wondering if spinal flexion is safe during a deadlift, the answer lies in understanding your body's anatomy. My approach at Plyo Fit is grounded in anatomy-based fitness training. We do not just show you how to lift, we explain why you are lifting that way. If you have been told that protein supplements are a meal replacement, it is time to recalibrate your knowledge. If you are struggling to fix your client's posture or want to improve your own lifting mechanics at our Jalahalli or Nilambur studios, these breakdowns are your starting point. Use this knowledge to build safe, effective, and sustainable fitness programs that actually deliver results. ## About Plyo Fit I am Vipin OV, an ex-Airforce fitness instructor.
