DONT FALL for the influx of detox teas and “magical weight loss” formulas hitting your IG Feed and email this week. #Repost @fitnessreloaded (@get_repost) ・・・ YES, a detox tea will help you lose weight! They won't help you lose fat though. Detox teas are laxatives, so we're talking about the same kind of weight loss that happens every morning after a trip to the bathroom...⠀ ⠀ You might lose water weight (which will swiftly return as fast as it left) but nothing else of note will happen by purchasing these "cleansing" weight loss teas.⠀ ⠀ As always, what really works is eating in a calorie deficit and exercising - that will never change, no matter how promising the marketing looks! ⠀ ⠀ More on why "detox" products aren't a thing: https://fitnessreloaded.com/detox-diet-plan-scams/⠀ More on how to achieve a calorie deficit: https://fitnessreloaded.com/calorie-deficit/⠀ . . #bachperformance #mindtomuscle #mindtomuscleconnection #stubbornmuscle #musclegrowth #muscleman #musclebeach #musclebuilding #muscled #atlantablogger #hiit #intervals #cardio #fatloss #fatlossworkout #intervalworkouts #newyearsresolution #newyearnewme #detox #detoxtea #detoxjuice (at Greensboro, Georgia)

Improving your health in 2018? Here’s how to get started without going broke. #Repost @marcinevin (@get_repost) ・・・ If you’ve ever said that you can’t afford to eat healthy, then here are some tips to help you do so even if you are on a tight budget. If you don’t want to resort to clipping coupons, put these to use the next time you hit up the grocery store. # Unless you’re buying grassfed, free range or organic, ground meat will be less expensive than specialty cuts like fillets. Fish is a great source of protein, but buying it fresh can cost anywhere from $10-$20+ a pound. Canned options on the other hand, will only cost you $2-$3 per can. Eggs are also a cheap source of protein. # Buying staples that last a long time, like potatoes, beans, oats, pasta, apples, oranges is a great way to ensure you’re not throwing your money down the drain if you don’t get to using it right away. Plus, items like these are mostly inexpensive. # Fresh fruits and veggies will always be the cheapest when bought in season. But opting for the frozen variety when not in season will save you money. Plus, you don’t have to worry about letting them go bad. # I’m all about using convenience options to make healthy eating more accessible. The problem is, you will pay more for these foods. If money is tight, you might need to do more of your own prep work and skip the snacks. # My favorite way to save money is purchasing through an online wholesaler. I use Thrive Market and always get great discounts on items I use frequently, which ends up saving me tons of money (and time!). While there is usually a membership fee to join, it will pay for itself after the first few purchases. Also look for store brands of items like milk, cereal, dairy, etc. as these items are always less expensive than big name brands. # Dining out is a huge budget killer. Not only will the food cost more, but if you end up drinking as well, it can really rack up the bill. Same is true for buying your coffee from a coffeeshop. It’s amazing how cutting back on these seemingly insignificant costs can really add up. #bachperformance #mindtomuscle #mindtomuscleconnection #stubbornmuscle #musclegrowth #muscleman #muscl (at Georgia)

#Repost @testosteronenation (@get_repost) ・・・ The Missing Element of Muscle Gains • by Eric Bach @bachperformance • Chasing the pump is no longer bro-science, it's science-science. Muscle researcher Brad Schoenfeld found three major components to building muscle: • • Mechanical tension (heavy strength work) • Metabolic damage (the pump) • Muscular damage (soreness) • Mechanical tension is covered with heavy strength work and limited muscular damage should be a byproduct (and not the focus) of a slight progressive overload. In many cases, the best results come from hitting a heavy lift and then creating metabolic stress – the pump. • When you lift with moderate-high reps and short rests, the prolonged muscular contractions create an occlusion effect and short rests contribute to it because they don't allow enough time for blood to escape the muscles. This leaves the byproducts of muscular contractions "stuck" in your muscles, which can activate mTOR (a central regulator of cell growth) while also increasing activation of satellite cells (precursors to muscle cells). • In short, it means hit the weights hard and heavy in the beginning, then do 2-3 exercises with 8-15 reps per set, longer eccentrics (negatives), and incomplete rest to get a good pump. Skip the pump work and you'll miss out on a lot of muscle gains. #tnation #bodybuilding #muscleguy #aesthetic #mindtomuscle #mindtomuscleconnection #stubbornmuscle #musclegrowth #muscleman #musclebeach #musclebuilding #muscled #bachperformance #mensphysique #naturalmuscle #natty #mensfitness #mensjournal #menshealthau #menshealthuk #instagood (at Georgia)

Do typical skull crushers throw⚡️bolts into your elbows❓ ✳️Try dumbbell skull crushers instead of barbell or EZ bar variations.✳️ The dumbbells allow a more natural range of motion and protect you from developing the majority of pain-causing imbalances while still providing a ton of muscle-building metabolic stress to grow bigger, thicker triceps. 👉Switch out the Ez bar or barbell and aim for 3-4 sets of 12-15 reps on these boy boys for pain-free 💪🏼 #gains . . . #bachperformance #mindtomuscle #mindtomuscleconnection #stubbornmuscle #musclegrowth #muscleman #musclebeach #musclebuilding #muscled #workoutday #armtraining #triceps #1stphorm #rhone #nike #kostawilliams #dailygram #BestMensStyle #atlantablogger #workoutday #humpday (at Club Form Denver)
