Great advice from someone who has the experience and visual proof to back it up My wife recently got into lifting weights She was never a “gym person” even when I owned a few years ago she never went Instead she walks regularly and eats very well to help maintain her weight…
This is probably the number 1 thing women miss in the gym. If ur serious about building muscle, changing ur shape, getting stronger or reaping benefits of increased muscle mass, then intensity needs to be there. If u finish ur sets with reps left in the tank, increase the…
The same formula I follow for cardio
My optimal exercise routine is easy & efficient for maximal fitness: 1) LOW Intensity: walk 1,000 steps (10 min) 8X/day or every hour 2) MED Intensity: strength train 3-5x/week 3) HIGH Intensity: sprint/play a sport 1x/week <5 hrs/week total if you walk as natural work breaks
Excellent post. If you are fresh to the game please read. Building a solid foundation is key. Then and only then you can add in cable work, isolation movements and single joint exercises.
A lot of guys are out here trying hard in the gym, and I genuinely respect that. Hats off to you. This is not a dig at the bros putting in the work. However.. One unfortunate side effect of the “science-based optimal hypertrophy renaissance” is that a growing number of guys who…
The order of your exercises is holding you back. Here’s how I structure my training within a session: I always start with my visually weakest body part. This ensures we’re using a majority of our energy to prioritize that muscle group. Then for each body part, I begin with a…
Got my wife and 16 yr old son to go to the gym with me on a regular basis now Got my 14 yr old daughter to do cardio several times a week and my youngest son (11 yrs old) to work out twice a week Oh and everyone eats a yogurt everyday with blueberries and honey Eggs and…
Anyone who thinks RFK or any politician for that matter will get us out of this food supply mess and the obesity crisis will be terribly mistaken. As much I preach proper nutrition and fitness first and foremost, let’s admit GLP-1’s have made the largest impact on solving the…
Layne is both a turd and not wrong about this. If RFK wanted to really affect some change he'd gut the subsidies programs which would force a retooling of the food system broadly. Instead, he has championed one-off topics like seed oils and high fructose corn syrup...which is…
Great option when I get lazy and don’t feel like making fresh veggies
Wednesday is typically a rest day but decided to hit the gym today Planning on taking next week off so figured I would push it a little extra hard this week leading up to my break…. Which btw, If you’re not taking a week off every 8-12 weeks you are not training hard enough…
You can tell me coffee causes cancer and I’m still drinking it everyday.
You should drink coffee. A recent study of 468,629 participants found that people who drink 0.5-3 cups of coffee per day had a lowered risk of all-cause mortality of 12%. They also found a 17% lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease and a 21% lower risk of stroke.
Maybe bc they aren’t eating tastycakes and cheesesteaks on the daily
amish have basically no obesity, no infertility, no cancer, no diabetes, no metabolic syndrome...they're having 10+ kids and incredibly happy they've basically staved off every single health issue the rest of the world is dying from we need to be studying them more
A hill I’m willing to die on is intensity is the most effective tool in the gym If you aren’t pushing yourself as hard as possible and squeezing out reps you are leaving gains on the table Few have what it takes to get uncomfortable and manage the discomfort of failing on a…
Don’t care what exercise you do but please guys stop spamming your reps Not only do you look like a psychopath but I assure you it’s not working nearly as well as you think in your head Slow it down and DO IT RIGHT Control the weight Lifting 101
I know many couples in their 50s or early 60s who are retired, rich, and travel all the time—and they’re miserable Lots of alcohol consumption, lot of marital discord, lot of free time, and a lot of ennui Find something you love doing and do it your whole life
The blueprint to optimal health
Welp, I turned 72. I try not to obsess about it. The years just fly by. The hip replacement was the big event for me this year, and I feel like I’m back to 100%. Sprinting (within reason), hard hikes and walking as long as I want without any pain. I'm back playing Ultimate…
I feel like Ronnie Coleman walking around the beach these days with all the looks I get Not because I’m that big and jacked (far from it) Because everyone else is so fat and out of shape anyone in decent shape stands out like a sore thumb The standard is so low these days…
The Sunday night blues is non existent when Monday morning includes t-bar rows, bicep curls and injections 💪
An ex NFL linebacker lives on my parent’s block at the Jersey shore. We see him every weekend we are on the beach chilling under their cabana with his wife and young kids Had a great run in the NFL, made a shit ton of money and now runs a smoothie and coffee shop in town. I…
Going to the gym on a regular basis is a commitment. It requires effort and for someone who is out of shape it can be intimidating and overwhelming Walking on the other hand is SUPER easy and requires little effort No membership needed. No following and tracking a workout…
I own a commercial drywall business and spend most of my work days at my desk working on the business not in the business. I just spent the last week working in the field managing the placement of concrete foundations as part of a major renovation we are doing on our house, and…
