Root beer float protein shake

I’m trying the viral root beer float protein shake.

I was skeptical… but ended up being impressed at the flavor.

🥤Ingredients:
〰️ 2/3 packet of @awrootbeer mix
〰️ 1 vanilla protein shake of your choice, here I’m using @fairlifenutrition

🥤Instructions:
〰️ Mix some water with the dry A&W packet mix
〰️ Once incorporated, add in your protein shake

It’s super simple and tastes like a melted root beer float. This is a fantastic way to switch up your protein supplementation!

Training with a rotator cuff injury

About 3 months ago, I fell while walking my dog, Pudding. I exacerbated a previously injured shoulder but didn’t want to stop training.

Here, I’m talking with @drjohnny_ to see what he suggests for a situation like this. This is what he said:

1️⃣ Switch from an externally rotated overhead press to a more neutral press with palms facing each other. This modification helps reduce strain on the shoulder by keeping the movement more aligned with the natural position of the joint.

2️⃣ Warm up your rotator cuffs before lifting. He suggested incorporating banded external rotations into my warm-up routine. These exercises are excellent for prepping the shoulders, improving stability, and reducing the risk of further injury.

3 diet-friendly breakfast options

Here are 3️⃣ diet-friendly breakfast options to start your day:

1️⃣ Oatmeal + egg whites: prep with a pinch of salt then put your cooked eggs directly into your oatmeal. This is one of my favorite savory breakfasts.

2️⃣ Bagel + lox: buy the smoked salmon of your choice and pair with a high fiber bagel like @eatbetter, @daveskillerbread, and @schmidtoldtyme.

3️⃣ Eggs + berries: this one is super simple but a no brainer. Protein and fiber 💣 first thing in the AM! Can’t get better than that.

Progressing lateral raise

Everyone knows the feeling… increasing weight on every lift BUT lateral raises.

So… what do we do about it?

Remember, there are other ways to progress your lifts. For example, gradually increasing the reps by 1 each week. Eventually, you’ll be going from 10 reps to 11 and so on. After a certain point, you may be able to increase your weights from 15lbs to 20lbs.

Think about it like this: going from 15lbs to 20lbs is a 33% increase in weight – of course it feels difficult!

You don’t need to make MAJOR jumps in order to make significant progress with your lifts.
