Leg press. This is a machine I utilize in my programming and often see people misusing. As you can see, this is a typical diagonal leg press machine. Nothing fancy. More often than not, the sled will probably weigh more than you do. Because of this, the sled will cause you to lift up. We want to prevent that and remain anchored in so we can lift safely.

Next time you’re using the leg press, try using a pad to encourage full range of motion. Lie back, point your toes out so that your knees can travel past your torso, make sure the safety pin has proper range of motion, lift sled up, and hold onto the handles at the bottom. Experience full rang of motion while working quads and inner thighs.

Is plant-based protein healthier than animal-based protein? It depends. The beyond beef does not pass the test (at least 10g of protein for every 100 calories).

The 5g of fat in this product come from coconut oil which is a saturated fat known to raise bad cholesterol. On the other hand, the animal-based protein passes the test, has fewer calories, and has less saturated fat which is ultimately the determining factor. When buying plant-based protein be mindful of the saturated fat content.

Protein cinnamon french toast sticks… sound way too good to be true. That’s because it is. Calling these ‘protein’ french toast sticks is wildly generous considering they are 330 calories and only 12 grams of protein.

Remember the test. We want to see items being touted as protein-rich to have AT LEAST 10g of protein for every 100 calories.

Considering this, these are actually a high fat item.
Think about how much time, energy, and money goes toward marketing an item. The front of this box doesn’t mean s#!t once you read the nutrition label and get the full story.
