TRX Buzzsaw is a killer ab exercise 🪚

TRX Buzzsaw 🪚 An amazing abdominal exercise that also works your serratus anterior and intercostal muscles. The latter rarely get engaged from conventional exercises but are very important to train to help prevent injury. These muscles surround your ribcage and will help protect you in the case of a fall or some other form of impact.

I’m a big fan of the TRX in general because of the variety of exercises it offers, particularly when it comes to training abs.

Clif bars are outdated

The Clif bar is an outdated protein bar. It was originally intended to be an alternative to trail mix. Most of the calories in this sucker are coming from carbohydrates, with half being refined sugar. The world has changed and Clif bars simply haven’t. I really enjoy the taste of some of these, but it’s simply not up to par with today’s standards.

If you’re serious about putting muscle on, STRETCH

Everybody is obsessed with how much weight they can lift, but it’s equally important to stretch and contract the muscle. Yes, you want to progress your lifts, meaning over time you want to lift more weight. But you want to do it with a full range of motion while feeling the intended muscle.

You should both be feeling a stretch and a contraction of the muscle. You should feel it length, and then feel it squeeze, in order to build more muscle.

2 things needed to grow your chest:
1️⃣ Full range of motion
2️⃣ Stretch at the bottom

2 things needed to grow your lats:
1️⃣ Full range of motion
2️⃣ Stretch at the very top

Client Spotlight: Femi

Client spotlight: Femi @femilicious2.0 who had an amazing transformation as a coaching client on @getverb. I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting her in person but I worked with her remotely for 8 months. During that time Femi lost 17 lbs while still progressing her lifts.

Femi is getting ready to compete in a powerlifting show coming up. Congratulations on making this transformation while still achieving your strength goals.

Eggs are really expensive right now

Eggs are really expensive right now. I think the way people treat nutrition is entirely different to how they approach anything else in life. They have an all or nothing mentality. You wouldn’t say “I’m only driving a Ferrari or I’m not driving any car at all.” But people are either in diet mode or they’re completely not, there’s no in between.

It’s okay to not spend $9 on a carton of eggs. Your chickens don’t have to be woke and be straight-A students. You can still be healthy and buy $4 a carton eggs.

How to eat 500 calories or less at Chipotle

I love Chipotle, but it’s a lot of calories. It’s very easy to have an 800-1000 calorie meal and blow your entire load in one sitting. Here’s 2 ways to eat at Chipotle and have around 500 calories for lunch:

Option 1️⃣: Tortilla, black beans, chicken, veggies

Option 2️⃣: Bowl, black beans, chicken, veggies, half a serving of guacamole
