Builder’s Protein Bars.

This is @ClifBar attempt at a higher protein energy bar – but the fact remains: this is not a protein bar but a carbohydrate bar.

There’s more carbs AND fat than protein in this bar… that’s where the majority of the calories are coming from.

31g of carbohydrate in this bar which means 120 of the calories are coming from carbs. There is only 20g of protein which means that a measly 80 calories are coming from protein.

Even though this bar is delicious, you shouldn’t be having this in order to hit your protein goal. It’s just not an optimal source of protein but it is a good source of carbohydrates.

Machines are as effective at building muscle as free weights.

A recent study cited below shows no significant advantage for using free weights over machines to train. This isn’t shocking considering mechanical tension, progressive overload and training to near failure are likely what drives building muscle. All of which can be accomplished with either free weights or a machine. My suggestion is to use exercises that allow you to train pain free, feel the intended muscle and to get stronger over time. Both of which can be accomplished with machines and free weights.
