Row, Row, Row 

Rows are fundamental for back development and are especially critical for those who wish to raise the Sandow trophy. While barbell and dumbbell rows are amongst the most prominent variations, six-time Mr. Olympia Dorian Yates favored the seated cable row so much that he nearly refused to train at gyms without one.

Throughout his bodybuilding career, Yates utilized this variation with narrow and wide grips to target different areas of his back muscles. The cable machine offers enhanced stability that free-weight alternatives often lack, allowing for better isolation of the intended back muscles.

This movement was crucial in sculpting “The Shadow’s” impressive back and contributed to his victories at the most prestigious bodybuilding competition. If you want to follow suit, check out our comprehensive tutorial on the move below.

These cannabis gummies keep selling out in 2024

If you've ever struggled to enjoy cannabis due to the harshness of smoking or vaping, you're not alone. That’s why these new cannabis gummies caught our eye.

Mood is an online dispensary that has invented a “joint within a gummy” that’s extremely potent yet federally-legal. Their gummies are formulated to tap into the human body’s endocannabinoid system.

Although this system was discovered in the 1990’s, farmers and scientists at Mood were among the first to figure out how to tap into it with cannabis gummies. Just 1 of their rapid onset THC gummies can get you feeling right within 5 minutes!

Cutler’s Top 10 

Although Jay Cutler may not present the prime physique that earned him four Olympia titles, he remains a prominent figure in the bodybuilding world, known for his incredible workouts and impressive physique. One key factor contributing to Cutler's ability to maintain such remarkable shape into his 50s, even after winning his last Olympia title over a decade ago, is his dedication to a few fundamental exercises that he still incorporates into his routine today.

We’ve explored Cutler’s top 10 exercises for each muscle group, including calves, quads, hamstrings, back, shoulders, chest, biceps, triceps, forearms, and abs. You might be surprised to learn that his preferred chest exercise isn't the traditional barbell bench press but the dumbbell bench press. Instead of solely relying on lifting heavy weights for muscle stimulation, Cutler emphasizes evidence-based exercises and proper lifting mechanics.

TRAINING TIPS 

Not So Fast, Cardio 

It’s a common belief that increasing cardio can lead to fat loss, based on the notion that moving more and burning more calories will naturally result in burning more fat. However, research suggests otherwise. Dr. Eric Trexler, a metabolism expert at Duke University, explores the constrained total energy expenditure (TEE) model, revealing that there may be more effective methods for weight loss than simply relying on excessive cardio.

When you ramp up physical activity, your body compensates by reducing energy allocated to other processes, which keeps overall energy expenditure stable. This makes losing weight solely through increased cardio more challenging. Trexler’s findings support this idea, showing that individuals who engage in high levels of daily activity — walking 25,000 to 30,000 steps — don’t significantly elevate their metabolic rates or burn more calories than their sedentary peers. So, what does Trexler recommend for effective fat loss? Read on to find out.
