Why does restaurant food taste better? Because of butter, sugar and oil. In the case of steak, it’s because of butter. Steak is never tender by itself- it’s not tender unless it’s prepared in a certain manner.

A normal 6oz sirloin steak would have approximately 250 calories. in the case of a steak prepared at a restaurant, it might have 3 to 4 times as many calories. You need to be aware that the food prepared in a restaurant has more calories than you realize. Plan accordingly.

@chomps is a decent alternative to the traditional protein bar. There’s no nitrates, sugar, and the sodium is relatively low, especially for a jerky. However, despite passing the test (10g protein per 100 calories), there are more macro-friendly options for protein.

This is still considered a processed bar, but some people may feel more comfortable with this than a traditional protein bar.

Question from @patdamiano_: How has my philosophy/approach to lifting changed over the years?

After 26 years of weight training and helping thousands of people primarily in their 30s and 40s lose weight, my approach has evolved. Everybody has trigger points – here are some 🔑key insights:

1️⃣ Glutei Medii: Stronger glutei medii prevents knee buckling during squats and leg presses. For some people, knees buckling in isn’t an issue but for general population, I would be weary.

2️⃣ Rotator Cuff: Train and mobilize your rotator cuff regularly to avoid shoulder issues. If you lift seriously, at some point you will probably encounter some degree of shoulder pain as you age.

3️⃣ Hip Flexors: Train your hip flexors to prevent tightness and fatigue. Whether you run, lift heavy, or a combination of either, at some point you will deal with tight hip flexors.

4️⃣ Forearm Extensors: Strengthen these to avoid elbow tendonitis as you age. This won’t guarantee that you won’t experience some form of elbow tendonitis, my other strong recommendation is that you warm-up sufficiently when pressing or pulling with heavy weight. You can also try using straps and/or a thumbless grip when pulling.

I’m trying the viral root beer float protein shake.

I was skeptical… but ended up being impressed at the flavor.

🥤Ingredients:
〰️ 2/3 packet of @awrootbeer mix
〰️ 1 vanilla protein shake of your choice, here I’m using @fairlifenutrition

🥤Instructions:
〰️ Mix some water with the dry A&W packet mix
〰️ Once incorporated, add in your protein shake

It’s super simple and tastes like a melted root beer float. This is a fantastic way to switch up your protein supplementation!

About 3 months ago, I fell while walking my dog, Pudding. I exacerbated a previously injured shoulder but didn’t want to stop training.

Here, I’m talking with @drjohnny_ to see what he suggests for a situation like this. This is what he said:

1️⃣ Switch from an externally rotated overhead press to a more neutral press with palms facing each other. This modification helps reduce strain on the shoulder by keeping the movement more aligned with the natural position of the joint.

2️⃣ Warm up your rotator cuffs before lifting. He suggested incorporating banded external rotations into my warm-up routine. These exercises are excellent for prepping the shoulders, improving stability, and reducing the risk of further injury.

Here are 3️⃣ diet-friendly breakfast options to start your day:

1️⃣ Oatmeal + egg whites: prep with a pinch of salt then put your cooked eggs directly into your oatmeal. This is one of my favorite savory breakfasts.

2️⃣ Bagel + lox: buy the smoked salmon of your choice and pair with a high fiber bagel like @eatbetter, @daveskillerbread, and @schmidtoldtyme.

3️⃣ Eggs + berries: this one is super simple but a no brainer. Protein and fiber 💣 first thing in the AM! Can’t get better than that.
