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.

Leg extension can be a useless exercise unless you go all in. Seriously, you have to go near failure with the intensity on this particular exercise. Even still, you might not get as much quad engagement as you’d like because your hips will externally rotate. Enter the yoga block. Squeeze this sucker between your legs and you’re instantly going to get more quad engagement and also activate your adductors.

Don’t have a yoga block? Just shove any miscellaneous object between your thighs, just be careful kids 😬🍆

The war on egg whites rages on.

When it comes to food, people have very strong opinions. Any time I post about egg whites, people always comment on it.

The truth is, yolks taste delicious and only have a little bit of saturated fat. In fact, they do have a lot of nutrient value. But so do egg whites.

Egg whites are also low in calorie and very high in protein.

My solution has always been to have 1 cup egg whites with 3 full eggs. Which puts me just under 5g of saturated fat, 40g protein, and keeps my calories ~300.

A typical breakfast for me would be this egg combination with about 200g of raspberries. This puts me around 420 calories and 14g fiber while also having the high protein from the eggs. This breakfast tastes great, has the best of both worlds, and passes The Test.

One of my favorite questions I was asked while speaking at @hpltraining was: What is the single best exercise to do❓

1️⃣ The deadlift, but it has to be progressed to your level of fitness. That could be a kettlebell, hex bar, or traditional barbell deadlift. Being able to pick something up off the ground is simply as functional as it gets.

2️⃣ The next best exercise in my opinion is the goblet squat, because you have to pick an object off the ground, bring it to your chest, brace properly, and then be able to bring it back down and up.

3️⃣ My third would be variations of carries, whether that’s a single-arm farmers walk or a single-arm overhead carry. This allows you to pick up an object from the ground, bring it to your chest, move from point A to point B with it, and even above your head. They all heavily emphasize good posture, different forms of mobility, and stability.

4️⃣ Then I think the fourth is pullups. This is a highly functional movement. You want to be able to control your own bodyweight. Who doesn’t want to be able to climb a tree or scale a mountain? People often neglect posterior chain, everyone is obsessed with abs and chest but the reality is it doesn’t get much more functional than training your back.
