There is no such thing as "lower abs". Your rectus abdominis is one continuous muscle. You cannot contract the bottom half on its own, and no exercise on earth isolates a region that does not anatomically exist. So all the things sold to you as "lower ab" builders are...

The bros will tell you to lower every weight over five slow, meaningful seconds. Big mistake. You are a third to a half stronger lowering a weight than lifting it. That is just how the body works. So if you can press the thing up at all, you own it on the way down. Easily. However slowly you lower it, you are babysitting a load the muscle already handles with room to spare. You cannot challenge a fibre that finds the weight comfortable. Take ten seconds if you like. It stays completely unbothered. And it gets worse, because the slow negative does not just fail to grow you, it actively costs you. Every long descent drains your energy, so you reach the concentric, the part that actually builds muscle, with fewer good reps left in you. You have spent yourself on the phase that stimulates nothing. Slow eccentrics are not a weak hypertrophy technique. They are hypertrophy in reverse. Lower it under control in two seconds. Then drive hard, where the muscle is weakest and the growth actually happens. The weight was never listening on the way down.

2 Best Hip Flexor Exercises In sprinting, your hip flexors need to be strongest When the leg is behind you Therefore it’s important the exercise: A) Gets you into that range B) Loads it sufficiently in that range Hip flexor fall backs are great for this (Plus you get bonus ab training) But, if you want to truly isolate the hip flexors in the end range position You can’t beat cable knee drives I like 30% of BW x 10 reps/leg as a target.

Your body fat is a tank with a tap on it, and the tap narrows as the tank empties. - Plenty of fat: your body covers almost any deficit you ask it to - Getting leaner: it covers less each day - Properly lean: it covers very little, and the rest comes off the plate Which is why the first stone comes off while you barely notice, and the last one takes everything you have. So when you are lean, the shortfall has to arrive as food. And the industry hands you the wrong bag. Push the protein. Two hundred grams. Two fifty. Chicken breast on a kitchen scale. Past what you build with, protein is a fuel your liver has to strip the nitrogen off before you can use a calorie of it, and that machinery has a speed limit. So the extra hundred grams builds nothing and lifts nothing. Protein is what you build with. Fat and carbohydrate are what you lift with. Cut them both to make room for another shake and you have removed the thing that was moving the weight. Fat wins that choice. Twice the energy per gram. Leaves insulin alone, so the fat you are burning is not told to stay put every three hours. Keeps you full. And it is the same fuel your own stores are already releasing. Eat the fat. It is the one thing on the plate that matters more the leaner you get, and the first thing they told you to cut.

The kissing technique of the lips is important but what makes their kisses so great, believable and enriched with feeling and emotion is the areas around the eyes. The muscles of the top half of their faces are relaxed, you can tell there is no thinking just motion and that is what sets them apart. Some GLs that’s where they lose half the battle. When you can see the overthinking, see the apprehension, see the over acting, trying to make something hotter than it probably is. Here there is none of that and they deliver every time. Such a realistic feeling. 👏👏👏 P.S. The episode was sweetness, laughter and love all around. Action coming up next!

"Heavy lifting is dangerous at your age" is the most harmful sentence in the field, and a doctor, a physio or a well-meaning relative hands it out every day. Follow it and watch what it does. From your forties you lose muscle every year unless you fight for it. That decline is the whole game: the difference between carrying your own shopping at 80 and waiting for someone to carry it for you. Muscle you don't load shrinks. Bone no longer pulled on turns brittle. Balance you never challenge drains away. Two years of "taking it easy" and you have built the exact frail body everyone feared. The advice didn't prevent the fall. It built the person who couldn't survive one. And here is the lie inside it. Supervised resistance training has one of the lowest injury rates of anything an older adult does. Lower than gardening. Lower than a wet pavement. Lower than the stairs you climb without thinking. So instead they steer you to pilates, aqua aerobics, a gentle tai chi class. Pleasant, sociable, and none of it loads a muscle hard enough to stop it wasting. You feel active while the decline rolls on regardless. Strength is not vanity at this age. It is the garden you kneel in, the stairs you keep, the grandchild you lift. Independence with the years added on. Frightened of a barbell? Fine. You don't need one. Machines are built for exactly this. Fixed path, nothing to wobble sideways. You sit, you're supported, you push. When a set gets hard you stop, and the machine holds the weight, not your spine. A leg press loads your legs as heavy as you'll ever need with almost no way to hurt yourself. Same with a chest press, a row, a pulldown. The decline is coming for everyone. You train against it or you hand years of your life away. The safest tool for the job sits unused in every gym, while the people who need it most get a rubber band and a spot in the church hall. Careful is what's killing them.

High reps do nothing special for muscle growth. People want them to, because high reps feel like work. But every reason given for their magic falls apart on contact. "Better pump." The pump is blood and fluid, gone within the hour. A sensation, never a stimulus. It builds nothing. "More time under tension." More time, yes, under less tension, because the weight had to be lighter. Time never drove growth. Tension does. "More metabolic stress." Never convincingly shown to build muscle alone. They infused lactate into training humans and the signal did not move. "The burn." Just metabolites pooling. It tells you the muscle is working to fuel itself, not that it is growing one bit. "More fibre recruitment." Only in the last few reps near failure. You grind fifteen reps for the handful a heavy five hands you instantly. "Kinder to the joints." Sometimes, less load per rep. But far more reps means more grinding under fatigue, and its own strain injuries. Strip it back and high reps grow muscle the same way low reps do: hard reps near failure, generating tension. They just cost far more work and fatigue to get there. Nothing special. Just longer, sweatier, and more tiring for the same result.

Part of the reason they wanted to develop reusable rockets that can land is the Geophysical Event. Part of the elite wants to build a data center and a small hub on the Moon to preserve AI and, with it, all human knowledge. They can control the conditions on the Moon more easily than on Earth, which will be far more active and unpredictable during a geomagnetic excursion and increased cosmic radiation. They would have no rivals on the Moon, nor would the lucky survivors on Earth pose a threat to them there. That's why the Moon is important. It was used in the past as well, which is why there are monolithic structures on the Moon.

Your hip might be overloading your lower back 😳🦴 Many people feel lower back pain, sciatic tension, or spinal discomfort without realizing that the problem can start with a lack of hip mobility 👀 When the hip doesn't move well, the lower back ends up overcompensating for movements, generating more overload, muscle tension, and even nerve compression ⚠️ The exercises in the video help to 👇🏻 ✅ Improve hip mobility ✅ Activate glutes and stabilize the lower back ✅ Reduce compensations and tension in the spine ✅ Promote sciatic nerve mobilization Science already shows that people with lower back pain usually present limited hip mobility and low glute activation 🧠 ⚠️ Important: Each case is unique. If you feel severe pain or have a herniated disc, seek a professional before performing the movements. Save this video and send it to someone who is always complaining about lower back pain 🫶🏻🐡

There is not a muscle on the body that needs high reps to see its best growth. This is basic physiology. Yes, muscles vary in their ratio of slow to fast twitch fibres. It doesn't matter, for two reasons: 1. Slow twitch fibres reach their ceiling early. They are not the limiting factor. 2. As you approach failure, every fibre is recruited regardless. The body does not leave capacity sitting idle when it thinks it's about to fail. Here is what actually drives hypertrophy: involuntary slow contractions. The point in a set where the concentric is grinding, the bar speed is dropping, and the muscle is being forced to recruit everything it has just to complete the rep. That is mechanical tension. That is the growth signal. It only exists in the final five or so reps before failure. Everything before that is your body coasting on the fibres it was already using. Some muscles tolerate high reps better than others. Calves are the classic example. But tolerating junk reps is not the same as benefiting from them. It just means the damage is less visible. The reps are still junk. If you are living in the 8-plus rep range, most of your set is happening nowhere near that zone of involuntary contraction. You are accumulating fatigue, impairing recovery, reducing training frequency, and spending more time under the bar: in exchange for a growth stimulus you could have captured in a fraction of the reps. More reps past the point of failure proximity is not more stimulus. It is just more cost.

So there is a poll on Facebook where normies are debating what is the greatest meme of all Time and troll is leading in two separate brackets. You can see the comments And how everyone knows that this is the best meme of all time and they revere it as such. Comfy knowing I am holding the greatest meme of all time that has had such a lasting impact on internet culture. Oh and the only one that will ever exist because the ip Is owned by US! $Troll is inevitable. Check for yourself!

Warren Buffett: I can end the deficit in 5 minutes. You just pass a law that says any time there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP all sitting members of congress are ineligible for re-election. It needs to go further. Politicians should get no raises or pension while there is a deficit and no balanced budgets. Thoughts?

As for what is driving America’s chronic weight problem, there are no definite answers. Scientific studies often reach conflicting conclusions, meaning many theories are out there, but the preponderance of evidence points to the two causes most people already suspect: too much food and too little exercise. Flatten your lower belly, ( no crunches ) 1) tow taps on roller Tuck hips, slow lower exhale 2) single leg lift (one leg lifts core stays braced) 3) diamond leg lift( feet together, knees open lift + control) Feel your deep core switch on

and he’s right! love me a man of science 🤓 🍒 : with how i look at it.. the core and the erector spinae muscles.. those that support your lower back.. i think working on these areas consistently is good. even if you don't go as far as doing pilates or things like that.. just the basics! because eventually, if you lose strength on those muscles over time, it puts strain on your spinal discs. so you really have to work on your lower back muscles!

There is a room in Málaga that was built to be the closest thing on earth to standing inside heaven. It is called the camarín of the Virgin of Victory, and it is hidden at the top of a tower inside the Santuario de la Victoria. To reach it, you climb and the ascent is the entire point... The building you are climbing through was completed in 1700, and it was designed as a single argument made in stone. At the bottom lies a crypt: a black chamber crowded with white plaster skeletons, a meditation on death and the brevity of life. From there a staircase rises, and as you climb it the light grows stronger and the imagery changes from bones to saints. The architects of the time understood this ascent as the soul's own journey, the dark crypt as the stage of penitence, the staircase as the stage of spiritual progress, and the room at the very top as the final stage: the union of the soul with the divine. That room at the top is the camarín, and its dome is one of the most extraordinary interiors in Spain... Every surface is covered in white and gold plasterwork. There is no empty space anywhere. The Baroque called this horror vacui, the horror of the void: the conviction that a space meant to represent heaven should not contain a single bare patch of stone. Out of that plasterwork emerge angels, flowers, birds, and mirrors. The mirrors are not decoration alone. They catch the light pouring in through the windows of the drum and throw it around the chamber, so that the gold seems to move and the whole room appears to shimmer and breathe. This wonder was built by people who believed that if you wanted to show a human being what heaven might feel like, you did not describe it to them. You built a room, and you let them climb into it... -- -- -- If you enjoyed this, I write a weekly newsletter read by over 50,000 people who love rediscovering the beauty of the past.

The Bro Split that every young lad gets sold on looks like this.⠀ ⠀ Monday: Chest⠀ Tuesday: Back⠀ Wednesday: Rest⠀ Thursday: Legs⠀ Friday: Shoulders⠀ Saturday: Arms⠀ Sunday: Rest⠀ ⠀ And yes, Arnold did it. Arnold also took enough drugs to sedate a medium-sized country, so perhaps not the most transferable template.⠀ ⠀ The problem is simple. Each muscle here gets hit once a week. Train hard enough and you'll trigger a window of muscle protein synthesis that runs for roughly 2-3 days. After that the window closes, and the muscle fibres begin to catabolise slowly. The back half of the week isn't neutral. It's quietly eroding the growth stimulus you picked up on Monday.⠀ ⠀ Once a week is not a holding pattern. It's a losing one.⠀ ⠀ The fix is training each muscle at least twice. An upper/lower split does this cleanly.⠀ ⠀ Monday: Upper⠀ Tuesday: Lower⠀ Wednesday: Rest⠀ Thursday: Upper⠀ Friday: Rest⠀ Saturday: Lower⠀ Sunday: Rest⠀ ⠀ Same days in the gym. Every muscle getting two shots at the growth window per week instead of one.⠀ ⠀ If there's a specific muscle you want to bring up faster, glutes being the obvious example, you can push that to three times a week with a full body approach, hitting the priority muscle first in every session when you're freshest.⠀ ⠀ Monday: Full Body (glutes first)⠀ Wednesday: Full Body (glutes first)⠀ Friday: Full Body (glutes first)⠀ ⠀ More frequent stimulus. More growth windows captured. Less of the week spent sliding backwards.⠀ ⠀ The Bro Split isn't useless. It just isn't optimal. And if you're going to spend the time, you may as well spend it on something that actually works.⠀ ⠀ Minimum twice a week per muscle. Three if you're serious about a lagging group. The rest is just detail.

Every muscle getting two shots at the growth window per week instead of one.⠀ ⠀ If there's a specific muscle you want to bring up faster, glutes being the obvious example, you can push that to three times a week with a full body approach, hitting the priority muscle first in every session when you're freshest.⠀ ⠀ Monday: Full Body (glutes first)⠀ Wednesday: Full Body (glutes first)⠀ Friday: Full Body (glutes first)⠀ ⠀ More frequent stimulus. More growth windows captured. Less of the week spent sliding backwards.⠀ ⠀ The Bro Split isn't useless. It just isn't optimal. And if you're going to spend the time, you may as well spend it on something that actually works.⠀ ⠀ Minimum twice a week per muscle. Three if you're serious about a lagging group. The rest is just detail.

Being sore all the time is not a badge. It means: - Your volume is too high - Your recovery is in deficit - Your next session is compromised - Your nervous system is still cleaning up the last one - Your growth is being throttled by accumulated damage Soreness is a sign you did something. It is not a sign you did the right thing. A trained muscle in a sensible programme should rarely be sore at all. The first few weeks of a new stimulus, yes. After that, your body adapts. The soreness fades. The growth carries on without it. People treat this as a problem to solve. They add drop sets. They add finishers. They chase the burn. They want that next-day ache back because the ache feels like proof. It is not proof. It is damage your body now has to repair before it can build anything new. The lifters making the most progress walk out of the gym feeling worked but not wrecked. They train the same muscle again 72 hours later because they can. The sore-every-day brigade train it again in a week and call it advanced programming. It's just bad arithmetic.
