The Wall Street Journal came out with an article talking about how health and looking good is the new flex. America’s top executives care about their health, the way they look, and their ability to perform in and out of the gym. I used to be a trainer at Equinox. I’ve made a very nice life for myself helping executives change their bodies and in turn, that’s further changed their mindset and self confidence. (I still kinda care about my Range Rover though 😂)

The upside-down kettlebell press improves grip strength, shoulder strength, and shoulder mobility. It’s a great exercise if you have shoulder impingement or lack shoulder mobility because it allows you to press overhead pain-free. The exercise is all about keeping the KB upright so if you cannot do that, you have failed to do the exercise correctly.

Cardio does not destroy muscle. Here are three things that *will* ruin your gains in the gym:
1️⃣Being in a severe caloric deficit while not weight training

2️⃣Not getting adequate protein, again while not weight training

3️⃣Not getting adequate recovery

In fact, cardio will actually help you build muscle, here’s why:

➡️Increases lactic threshold

➡️You need to be alive to build muscle. Cardio is good for your health ☠️

Cava: absolutely delicious food with way too large of portions. 75% of Americans aren’t getting the minimum suggestions for exercise – that’s 90 minutes of weight training and 150 minutes of cardio per week. When you factor that in, you simply don’t need 700-1,000 calorie bowls of food for 3 meals a day.
There’s two ways to approach this situation: Either don’t finish the entire bowl and save some for later, or reduce the ingredients so the dish itself is less caloric. Again, I thought the food was awesome, it’s just too many calories.

I hate Trader Joe’s sweet potato fries. They put way too much canola oil on these suckers and it jacks up the macros. Am I suddenly obsessed with seed oils? No, of course not, I’m a rational thinking man. But 150 calories per 3oz makes no sense when @alexiafoods Smart Fries are 100 calories for the same portion. 50% more f***ing calories? Not on my watch ⌚️

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.
