How to: Unilateral Lat Pulldown

3️⃣ steps to engaging your lats:

1️⃣ Grab the handle and lean back while engaging your core. Leaning back allows a fuller stretch at the top of the exercise and an extended range of motion during the pull.

2️⃣ Initiate the movement by retracting your shoulder blades and pulling the handle down. Focus on engaging your lats and avoid using momentum. Keep movement controlled to maximize activation. Even though you are leaning back, you are maintaining position.

3️⃣ Pull towards the body and slowly raise handle back up to starting position focusing on the eccentric phase. Aim for a full stretch at the top.

Calories don’t restart at midnight

Your daily calories DO NOT restart at midnight.

Think about your calories like a bank account.

If you have a goal of eating 2000 calories in a day and eat 2800, those 800 extra calories roll into the next day. So, even if you work really hard Monday through Friday to maintain your deficit, the weekend can absolutely obliterate that deficit if you throw caution to the wind, stop logging, and eat whatever you want.

🔑Consistency is key! Remember to maintain your dieting practices 7 days a week, not 5. Or you can pull yourself out of any progress real fast.

The most underrated bread in dieting

@schmidtoldtyme is the single best dietary bread in the game 🍞 I wish this MF’er had a marketing budget behind it because this product is the truth. People talk about ezekiel bread, they talk about Dave’s Killer Bread, well this sucker has them beat with both taste and price.

Low in calories, high in fiber, plenty of different options (white, wheat, Italian, they’ve got you covered). Try this out on your next deli sandwich.

Premier Protein protein pancakes🥞

While exploring @SamsClub and filming content, I came across @PremierProtein pancakes. I was eager to give them a try and see if they lived up to the hype.

However, upon closer examination, the initial excitement faded.

With 210 calories and 15g of protein, these pancakes didn’t even pass The Test for a self-proclaimed protein pancake. Also, it only provides 1g of fiber but contributes to 20% of your daily sodium intake. The macros left much to be desired.

For a more satisfying experience, I would recommend trying @KodiakCakes or @StackdPancakes. They offer superior macros and a much more enjoyable taste.

How to preform a Dual Lat Pull-down

How to correctly preform a dual lat pull down:

1. Adjust the seat in order to have your knees at a 90 degree angle.
2. Grip the bar in a pronated position with your hands facing away from you.
3. Sit up straight and watch your posture. Keep your shoulders relaxed but do not lean backwards. You should feel this exercise in you arms and core, if you’re using your back you’re not working the intended muscle groups.
4. Do not use momentum on this exercise. Focus on engaging your Lats each and every rep. Stay in control of the movement.
5. Squeeze your shoulder blades at the bottom portion of this movement to fully engage your Lats.
