#Supplements are just that, a supplement… to a #HealthyDiet and proper #TrainingProgram. #Eat, #train, #fuel, repeat. Next time you need a good #recipe for the “eat” part of the equation… try this. - Most of the time when I want #IceCream, I’ll just eat ice cream. There are so many brands now that offer low calorie, #HighProtein options. Or I’ll just reach for good ol’ Ben & Jerry’s. However, sometimes I’m feeling more creative (or it’s 10pm and I don’t have any carbs or fats left for the day…). Enter: #ProteinIceCream (or #milkshake ). - This MIGHT be the easiest recipe ever. Ingredients: 1. 1 scoop protein powder of choice 2. Water 3. Ice Instructions: 1. Add about ½ cup of water to your NutriBullet (or blender). 2. Add a handful of ice (a little more ice than water) 3. Add protein powder. 4. Add a little more water on top of your protein powder. 5. Blend, dump in a bowl, and enjoy! You want it to have the consistency of melt-y-ish ice cream. If it’s too liquidy (real scientific over here), add more ice. You can add whatever toppings fit your macros - bananas, nuts, chocolate syrup, whipped cream...get creative! Thanks to @courtneykiing for the idea! - Nutrition info per 1 serving (will differ depending on protein choice and add-ins): Cal (130) F(2.5g) C(5g) P(22g) - powered @macros_metcons #macrosandmetcons

#MacroCounting for #BodyComposition vs. #AthleticRecovery: - One topic we have not seen enough emphasis placed on are the most important #dietary things. Perhaps this is because #calorie and  #macro counting has been mislabeled as excessive, too difficult, or completely unnecessary. - This could not be any further from the truth. Taking the time to learn to track and  #CountCalories and the #macronutrients can be the difference between reaching your full potential and missing the mark entirely. #Coaches in college would often remind our team that all of our competitors were doing the doing things, like putting in the time and effort to train, but very few were spending the time to do all the little things, like being deliberate about our #diet, #rest, #recovery, and mental state. To get to the next level, you have to do the big things and the little things. That means knowing how many calories your body needs on a daily basis, and it also means knowing the breakdown of those calories into #protein, #fat, and #carbs. Each of these macronutrients has a very specific function, or functions, related to performance and recovery, in addition to general #health and #wellness.

5 Reasons Why You Need TR- #Leucine: - 1. Time-Released to become active in blood stream 2 hours after ingestion, so you can promote #MuscleRepair and recovery as well as limiting #muscle damage at critical #NutrientTiming points throughout day. 2. Night Time #MuscleRecovery: Maximize the synthesis of new muscle #protein for #RecoveryAndRepair ( #anabolism ) while limiting the breakdown of #MuscleTissue ( #catabolism ) by delivering a fully effective dose of Leucine during the most vital time of the day for #PhysiologicalRecovery, while you #sleep. 3. Limit #MuscleBreakdown during extended periods of time between meals ( #fasting ). 4. Extend the length of time promoting an anabolic ( #GrowthAndRepair) state #PostTraining. 5. #MaximizeRecovery and repair by increasing the daily number of nutrient-driven recovery sessions.

Repost by Classified Trainer @thewattsguy - What’s your favorite #TRICEP #exercise❓ - 🔥Tricep Talk⬇️ #Training arms is something that most people do not miss! It’s a focus in training more for some than others, but in general if you asked someone if they wanted their arms to look good you wouldn’t get much kickback. What gets left out many times if the focus on the most important part of the arm, the tricep. - 🔥 Why the tricep is so important⬇️ Let’s just focus on sheer size of the tricep in comparison to the arm in general: The tricep makes up 66% of your arm....let that one soak in.All that focus on biceps or other arm muscles had better be evaluated if you want a rounded looking arm, or arms size especially.  Not to mention muscle in balance (That’s a whole other story). - 🔥 Why the triceps get left out ⬇️Simple... you don’t really see them. Oh sure, turn to the side for a Triceps check or checking out jeans in a mirror maybe. But most times you don’t just glance and see your tricep. Your biceps 💪🏽.... different story. So, we fall into a routine where you can focus primarily on biceps. 🔥 Keep these in mind⬇️ The word tricep is telling us a lot. TRI- 3, speaks to the heads of the tricep. (Biceps, BI-... you get it). You’ll need to focus on movements that aren’t just difficult, or “feel” challenging. It’s important that you hit each of the three heads of the tricep. - 🔥Check out these exercises from I pulled from some old research I was doing on @bodybuildingcom. I love mixing my movements up but I’ve always got to ensure when training assistance or #aesthetics that I hit each part of the #muscles I’m training. - 5️⃣ exercises for triceps: 🔸Close-Grip #BenchPress. 🔹Dip. There are two types of #dips you can do: the bench and upright dip... 🔸#Dumbbell Overhead #TricepsPress. 🔹Lying #TricepsExtension (Skullcrusher) 🔸#TricepsPushdown. - Photo cred: @sway.photos

#Supplements are just that, a #supplement… to a #HealthyDiet and proper training program. #Eat, #train, #fuel, #repeat. Next time you need a good #recipe for the “eat” part of the #equation… try this. - #GrilledBuffaloChicken (#lettuce or... #tortilla) #Wraps: - Depending if you are on that “bulk” or “shred” you can toss the tortilla or… (as I prefer) keep it. Obviously tossing the tortilla will reduce the carbs (and #calories). The choice is yours. Either way here’s a twist to a classic that is easy and delicious. - #Ingredients: 1 8 oz, Chicken Breast 2 0.75 cup(s), Franks Red Hot Original - Hot Sauce 3 17.50 cup shredded or chopped 55g, Butter Leaf Lettuce 4 0.75 CUP, Cherry 5 1 medium, Avocado 6 0.25 cup (25g), Green Onion Raw (Whole) 7 0.50 cup(s), Dressing - Directions: 1. Add cubed chicken and ½ cup franks red hot sauce to a bowl. 2. Cover and place in refrigerator for 30 minutes. 3. Preheat grill to 400 degrees. 4. Place grill basket directly on grill. 5. Add marinated chicken to grill basket and grill chicken for 8-10 minutes, stirring throughout. (if you don't have a grill basket, add cubed chicken to a kabob stick) 6. Remove from grill & place grilled chicken in a bowl, toss with ¼ cup of buffalo sauce. 7. Assemble lettuce cups: place butter lettuce cups, 2-3 cubes of chicken, 2-3 diced tomatoes, 2-3 diced avocado, a pinch of green onions, and a drizzle of ranch dressing. - Nutrition info per 1 serving of 20: Cal(58) P(4g) C(1g) F(4g) - Powered by @macros_metcons #macrosandmetcons

The #OverheadPress - The #overhead #press is well known for the #development of the #delts. Who doesn’t want #bulletproof #shoulders with the ability to press #heavy #loads #overhead repeatedly without #injury. What gets forgotten often times are the byproducts of overhead #pressing. Not only will you get #strong as heck pushing or carrying loads overhead. But you will also do an #abundance of good for your #torso in general. - In this scenario we are making reference to #activation of the #ExternalOblique, rectus abdominis, & erector spinae. Yes pressing overhead will get you strong shoulders. But the amount of core stability and #development that follows due to pre requisite #strength is #phenomenal. - Pictured above is the ever famous #BilateralPress. Also known as the #MilitaryPress, #ShoulderPress, and an array of other variations. Try mixing it up with #unilateral (single arm movements) as well as different grips, tempos, and set/rep ranges.

The #Pushup up = #Power - #Simple. #Effective. #Timeless. The #push #up is an #UpperBody and #CoreKiller that allows an array of variations to keep it fun while still getting the same results. Working all of the #muscles upper body from core to #extremity if you are not doing #pushups in high volume, you should be. Adding #tempo into the mix can put the #muscles under increased tensions and completely change the face of a #workout. Try adding a max effort single set each week to your #program and try to best yourself each week. This is a #fun way of #testing and pushing yourself at the same time.

Some #Science Behind #BCAA’s - #DataShows BCAA’s having direct effects on #reducing perceived exertion, reducing #MuscleSoreness, extending time to #exhaustion, and even playing a role in blunting #CentralNervousSystemFatigue. - Since most #athletes, especially those who train and compete in the #Aerobic or #Endurance portion of the #PhysiologicalSpectrum, often under #eat with regards to both calories as well as protein, I believe the #scientific rationale and theory behind #BCAA ingestion prior to training is very sound. When an athlete is unable to hit their caloric needs on a daily basis, the overall effect is an inadequate amount of #ATP to #fuel all the processes that are necessary to drive repair and recovery from training. When an inadequate amount of protein is ingested, there is a lack of substrate, or tools and equipment, necessary to repair and recover from training. Since not hitting your calories and protein, I believe, has the most profound effects on limiting #athletic success, it is important to counter these catabolic effects around the training window as much as possible. This is where the use of BCAA’s can be a powerful damage-limiting agent, and repair-boosting #stimuli.

#Ads & #Unhealthy “#Health” #Foods - We are constantly bombarded by #advertisements. Constantly... But not everything we are told should be taken as #fact. Since the first days of advertising, companies have been using the #Halo effect to spin their #products in a #positive light, or perhaps #mislead customers altogether. The #HaloEffect (in the #food/#supplement industry) is when a company markets their product so there is a direct association with something else, something very #positive or #healthy. Many people would equate this to lying, while others claim it is just simple misdirection. For example, buying something because it is labeled #Vegan, Whole-Grain, #Organic, or #AllNatural does not mean it is #healthy. The same goes for any other product: Just because you bought it at your local farmer’s market or organic grocery store does not mean it is good for you. A study published in the Journal of Consumer Research found that individuals who ate at what is commonly perceived as a healthy fast food restaurant (like subway) were much more likely to underestimate the amount of calories they consumed (by an average of 151 calories!) when compared to individuals who ate at a regular #FastFood restaurant.

#PreWorkouts: What are they 1. What are Pre #Workouts #Supplements? Ask 10 different #athletes this question, and you will probably get 10 completely different answers. This can be a really tough swamp to wade through. Simply put, pre-workout supplements can be any ergogenic aid that is taken before #training or competition. An #ergogenic aid is anything that is used to increase or #enhance #PhysicalPerformance or #recovery. So, a pre-workout #supplement, in an ideal world, is a #nutrition product that will have a #positive effect on your physical ability to do more work, work at a higher intensity, or allow you to recover faster or more significantly. Due to the wide spectrum of #activity types (anaerobic aerobic) as well as specific skills or #athletic attributes (#strength, #power, #speed, #agility, #mobility, #endurance, etc.) necessary for different #sports, there are thousands and thousands of potentially #Dzergogenicdz ingredients, and more are added to the list every day.

Why The #KB reigns king - If you are looking to #IncreasePower, #endurance, and overall capacity, the #KettleBell is where the buck stops. The soviet union once said they, “Pushed weakness out of their country with nothing but a KB.” Though there may not be the best of #relationships internationally right now they were onto something. The #kettlebell is a one- stop shop for getting the job done. What’s your favorite #KBMovement?

Next time you need a good recipe for the “eat” part of the equation… try this. - #AntsOnALog: - We’re kicking it #OldSchool today and throwing it back to a favorite childhood snack - ants on a log. Some might call this boring, but with the variety of nut butters on the market now (some fortified with extra protein!) you can customize this #snack however you like. Bonus - since celery is SO LOW in #calories and #macros, it’s the perfect vessel for whatever fits your #macros that day. - Ingredients: 1. 5 stalks of celery, cut in half. 2. 1/2 cup peanut butter (or almond butter, Buff Bake protein nut butter, etc.) 3. ¼ raisins - Instructions: 1. Top celery with nut butter 2. Add raisins - About as easy as it gets right? Now if you need me, I’ll be watching reruns of Sabrina The Teenage Witch on Netflix, just like in middle school. - #Nutrition info per 1 stick: Cal (91) F(6.6g) C(6.4g) P(3.5g) - Powered by @macros_metcons #macrosandmetcons
