Life’s hard enough without Bulgarian split squats – the remix 🎤 I showed you how to use the leg press as a split squat alternative, here’s a slightly more difficult alternative with a Smith machine. My recommendation to you would be to start with the leg press, transition to the Smith machine, and then eventually start doing actual Bulgarian split squats. Here’s why I like these with a Smith machine:
💥Offers more stability
💥Plenty of glute and quad
💥Hits in the same force vector as traditional Bulgarian split squats
It’s like you’re one step away from the real thing. Almost time to take the f***ing training wheels off.

Finally, a bingeable cereal with all the chocolatey taste you could hope for. @mpasupps Iso-Poofs have insane macros: 110 calories, 15g protein, 2g fiber, it obliterates the test (10g protein per 100 calories). It’s got a chocolatey taste. And you can binge on this sucker. I don’t know what the hell else you could ask for.

There’s a major emphasis on grass-fed over grain-fed beef right now. Grass-fed does have a better omega-3 profile, but the difference isn’t so significant that it translates to benefiting your health. Let me walk you through this:

There are 11 types of omega-3s. The primary 3 that people care about are DHA, EPA, and ALA. ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) is plant-based, and grass-fed beef does contain more than grain-fed beef. Per 4oz of beef, grass-fed beef has 0.055g whereas grain-fed beef has 0.020g. There is a difference between the two, but it’s not enough ALA to translate to improving your health markers. You’re better off sprinkling flaxseed over your beef if you want more of this type of omega-3 in your diet.

Wendy’s chili has pretty damn good macros. A large serving has 22g of protein, 10g of fiber, and only 330 calories. Would I eat this every G.D. day? No, of course not. But perhaps you’re driving around, the kids are screaming or you just simply forgot to pack lunch. You are having what I would call a “midday crisis” and this allows you an opportunity to pivot and not wreck your diet that day. Wendy’s chili isn’t a bad idea if you’re in a pinch.

Tuna obliterates 💥 our protein test of 10g protein per 100 calories. This sucker has 19g protein per 80 calories. I personally would opt for the bag over the can.

And no, you’re not gonna die from eating tuna occasionally. What you should be wary of is what condiment you use with it. Adding things like mayonnaise can increase the calories dramatically. There’s no need to drown this fishy 🐟

Sissy squats are an amazing exercise that are under-utilized. There are two variations of this exercise that I enjoy:

1️⃣ Barbell Sissy Squat: This puts the emphasis entirely on your quadriceps and there’s no limiting factor outside of your legs.

2️⃣ Kettlebell Sissy Squat: This targets your quads, but you also get a lot of abdominal engagement. Note that your grip may be the limiting factor as opposed to your legs.
