Wanna REALLY grow your shoulders? You’ll start getting better connection and results from your lateral raises when you start focusing on these 3 things👇 1- Pushing your knuckles directly out to the side (pretend to punch the walls next to you) 2- Keeping DBs in front of you slightly-this... allows a little more range of motion for the delts and a little less tension on the joints. 3- Getting the weight up as close to 90 degrees as possible (just close enough is fine- doesn’t have to be exact) These tips can be applied any way you perform lateral raises (banded, DBs, cables etc) Don’t forget to bookmark and Share this post out if it helped you!

It took me way to long to understand this as a football coach: Basing out of a flexible offensive and defensive system is the best thing you can do for your program and career. It allows you to spend more time on the details and modify things for this year's roster.

This is the attention to detail Tesla puts into the Cybertruck doors so it doesn’t unintentionally cut your fingers off. Remember these doors are super heavy and it could be dangerous if it closed on anyone’s finger. So what does Tesla do? Right when you open it, special levers are enabled to make it impossible for you to immediately close it. So after you open the door, you have to pull the door further out and then it will allow you to close it. These little things that are really a big deal, are what separates a Tesla from the rest, especially when it comes to safety.

This stretch should be mandatory for people who sit at desks: It's called the Couch Stretch and it will change your life. Here's how you do it: 1. Get on all fours and put one foot up on a couch or chair and another 90 degrees in front to support. 2. Bring one arm up and lean back until you feel tension. 3. Hold this stretch and breathe deeply. The further back you lean the harder the stretch gets. The more you go forward the easier it becomes. Go at your own level. When you sit for long periods your legs are stuck at bent angles for up to 8 hours a day. This causes your hip flexors to shorten by limiting their range of motion. This can create pain in the low back and hips while causing you to become weaker. The couch stretch counteracts this by mobilizing your hip flexors back to their natural range of motion. Do this every day for 30-60 seconds and watch your body feel better.

The biggest mistake I see people make when they start carnivore is the same mistake I made. Trying to do everything perfectly from day one. That is not a plan. That is a setup for failure. Here is what actually works. Stop trying to be perfect and start adding in the good things. More meat. More eggs. More real food. That is it. Something really cool happens when you do that. The more good things you add in, the less room there is for the things you are trying to crowd out. You are not white knuckling it. You are not depriving yourself. You are just filling your plate with better and better things until there is no space left for the rest. Progress is not just good enough. Progress IS the goal. You do not have to be perfect to change your life. You just have to start. 👑

7. The most sexy and exciting things in life are the opposite—they start out extremely fun but then have diminishing returns. When you’re young, these things distract you and occupy a lot of your time. This applies to casual sex, drugs, alcohol, video games, gambling, vacations, and blowjobs. The first time is incredible. The second time is almost as good. But then it’s all downhill from there. Be sure to experience all of these things a little bit—enough to get your fill—but then quickly move on. Well, except for blowjobs… don’t move on from the blowjobs.

Struggling to improve your bench press? Here’s how to identify and fix your weaknesses to increase your bench Let’s start with some form tips Big Arch - Retract your shoulder blades and drive your traps into bench by digging them into the pad. Maintain that tightness throughout the duration of the lift Bend the Bar - Act like you’re trying to bend the bar before you lift off. This causes you to externally rotate elbows to engage your lats which is crucial for a heavy bench Deep Breath - Take a deep breath before lift off and hold it in until you lift the bar where you’ll blow the air out on the way up Keep wrists straight - Wrap up your wrists tight with some wrist wraps. Don’t let wrists go limp on the concentric (lifting portion of the press). You’re losing poundage if you do Lower the bar with control - This is where lats and rear delts come into play. Nice and controlled descent and hit just below pecs Keep the arch - don’t let the bar sink into your chest and lose your arch. Keep air in and core tight the entire lift. This shortens the range of motion and allows you to stay tight and in control of the bar Leg drive and act like you’re standing up off the bench - As you explode up, drive your feet and push the bar back as if you’re trying to stand up off the bench. Weak off the chest? Likely an issue with pec strength. Here’s some exercises to help with that: -Pause Bench (1-3 seconds) -Wide Grip Bench -Incline Barbell Press -Spoto Presses -Weighted Dips -DB Flat/Incline Presses Weak with the lockout portion of the lift? Likely a weakness in your triceps or shoulders. Exercises to help with that: -Close Grip Bench -Board Presses -Pin Presses -Floor Presses -Skullcrushers -Weighted Dips -Military Presses -Slingshot Press -JM Presses -Overhead Presses Few other pieces of advice: 1) Get that back as big and strong as you can! Makes it a helluva lot easier to control the weight and add stability if our lats can support the weight. This will also carry over into your squat and deadlift. Row, row, and then row some more. Pullups/Pulldowns like crazy especially before you bench to get blood flowing back there which will help you feel and engage your lats before you lift. 2) Get a mini bicep pump from some curls before you press. Nothing heavy but having some blood in the biceps can help with tendonitis issues and help protect your joints. 3) Warm up the shoulders using a resistance band to get blood flowing to the rear delts and loosen up the shoulders. Take a foam roller and scrub the hell out of your lats as well to loosen up your shoulders.

If you want to have your say on the draft NICE menopause guideline, this is for you… The guideline is really important as it guides healthcare professionals on how to diagnose and manage the menopause, and sets out what sort of care you should expect. A public consultation on the draft guideline closes in early January and Newson Health has registered as a stakeholder. We will be submitting a response – and we’d like to include your feedback too. It’s really important your voice is heard and we want our response to reflect the views of as many people as possible, so if you’d like to be included, email your thoughts to comments@newsonhealth.co.uk. Also, please share this post so we can reach as many women as possible!

This tweet below had people in their feelings. If you want to be a good team, you have to be way more efficient on offense early and close it out late, especially when your defense has the day they had. Aaron Rodgers agrees.

You just finished a shift and you are getting ready to go home, you notice that your tire is flat, and now you have to start the ordeal of having it towed, and then getting it fixed, but you really don’t have time and don’t want to take off work for it. Luckily now there are services like this. You call him and let him know what brand and size tire you have, he comes to you, takes the wheel off and mounts and balances the new tire for you on site in less than an hour with installation. Would you be open to the idea of a mobile tire replacement service if you needed it?

Pendulum squat tips ⬇️ 1) Foot stance will be individual…too high and you’ll pull in too much glutes…too low and your knees won’t be happy. Find a middle ground that allows you to be powerful and nail the quads with enough knee flexion. 2) Prefer a “toes forward” approach on this one to stack the knees/ankles in alignment to work with the arch of the pendulum itself. 3) Imagine “pulling yourself” into the bottom position with your quads here with enough control to nail the actual quads themselves. 4) Don’t camp out at the top excessively and turn it into a “rest pause” set. Keep the flow of your reps consistent to standardise things. 5) Pick a weight that allows you to fail in that 8-15 zone…find your nuts and take the set all the way (will likely feel heavy from rep 3/4 haha) Petition to rename this exercise “The Humbler” Make use if you have access.
