THINGS TO…
…DO 🧑🍳
Make your protein shake like a pro
Sick of clumpy protein shakes and shaker bottles coming out of every cupboard you own? Our new favorite fitness-junkie invention, the Brezza Supermix, solves that.
…KNOW 💭
How to make those abs pop
Not all ab exercises are designed equally. Some are great for rehab, some are great for building deep core strength, and some are great for making those six-pack abs truly pop. If you’re looking for the latter, Marcus Filly breaks down the best exercises for that.
…EAT 🍫
No-bake protein brownie bites
These little protein bites might be tiny, but they’re also tasty! Using just four ingredients, they contain about 4g of protein per bite, so a handful makes the perfect pre- or post-workout snack.
EDITOR’S PICKS
David’s Red Velvet Protein Bars
David has been getting a lot of coverage over the past week thanks to their very real cod marketing campaign. While we don’t necessarily think you should start eating raw cod, this week’s editor’s pick is their Red Velvet protein bars. With a truly impressive amount of protein to fat and carbs, these bars are far better than fish.
FITNESS FACTS
Fitness Fact of the Week — A study has found that pull-ups activate the lats and biceps significantly more than seated lat pulldowns. Long story short, if you want more gains in your back, biceps, and even core, pull-ups should be a priority on your back day.
