TRAINING 

Bye-Bye Back Pain

Back pain is common, particularly for those with sedentary jobs or years of rigorous training. That’s why it’s so important to incorporate lower back exercises to strengthen the surrounding muscles and help alleviate the discomfort. We’ve created a comprehensive article below detailing 15 exercises designed to strengthen your lower back and potentially put that pain (hopefully) in the rearview mirror.

Eight of these exercises, including deadlifts, focus on building strength for pulling and rowing heavier weights, as your lower back plays a crucial role in stabilizing these movements. Additionally, we provide seven lower back mobility routines, such as the cat-cow stretch, along with various movements that engage and strengthen your core. We’ll guide you on modifying each exercise to either make it more beginner-friendly or increase its intensity for longtime lifters.

NUTRITION 

Cutler’s Anti-Aging Elixer

Even though Jay Cutler stepped away from the bodybuilding stage more than a decade ago, he still touts a world-class physique into his 50s. In addition to maintaining a disciplined diet and rigorous training regimen, the four-time Mr. Olympia relies on a number of supplements for his health. Notable among these is niacin, a B vitamin.

Throughout his bodybuilding career, Cutler used niacin to enhance blood flow and boost his training. Today, he takes it to promote optimal heart health. A study published in 2004 found that niacin can effectively lower bad cholesterol (LDL) while increasing good cholesterol (HDL). However, according to the four-time Mr. Olympia, building a tolerance to this potent vitamin is crucial to experiencing its benefits, such as improved body composition, while minimizing potential side effects.
