Failing Forward into Success With Strength Training

Fear of failure often hinders our ability to learn from life’s experiences. Strength training is antagonistically the opposite. We squat, curl, push, and press weights until our muscles fatigue and ultimately fail.

Analyzing our lifts and forms (some people record them) helps us understand our reactions to growth for the next challenge. If we apply this to our everyday lives, we’d see that failure is really success.

Neuroscience 2023: New Blood Test for Alzheimer’s Disease Revealed

At the Neuroscience 2023 conference, researchers revealed new methods and findings for developing blood-based tests to detect proteins linked to Alzheimer’s disease early in their development. Alzheimer’s affects areas of the brain, such as the hippocampus, which controls essential cognitive functions like memory.

A 2023 neuroscience study by the National Institute on Aging reported that men are more likely to experience rapid declines in cognition and brain volume than women.

Once fully developed, the blood test will provide an early diagnosis of biological pathways that may evolve into Alzheimer’s. While more research needs to be done, experts believe it’s a step in the right direction.

The Benefits of a High-Protein Breakfast

Revamp your morning routine for optimal energy with more protein. While typical breakfasts focus on carbohydrates like toast and sugary cereals, the American Society of Nutrition reported in a nutrition study that most people consume the bulk of their protein at dinner and the least during breakfast.

Don’t be fooled by the convenience of microwaveable breakfast options – those burritos and pancakes might be missing a vital nutrient, protein!

Boosting your morning protein intake not only promotes satiety but also provides sustained energy throughout the day.

Spice up Your Leg Day With Side Lunges

When we exercise at the gym, movements that carry over into the real world give us the best bang for our buck. Performing side lunges mobilizes inner thigh and adductor muscles while bulletproofing knees, ankles, and hip joints.

A frontal plane movement involves moving laterally side-to-side, which can improve multi-directional strength, speed, and power. If you predominantly train on the sagittal plane, you’ll feel muscles that you didn’t know you had.

Spice up your next leg day with these side lunge variations and hit all the right angles.

8 Barbell Hip Thrust Alternatives for Defined Glutes

In recent years, the barbell hip thrust has become one of the most popular exercises at the gym. The illustrious Clydesdale-like backside is sought after by many gymgoers. Its concentration on the glutes, hamstrings, and quads also makes it an ideal accessory exercise after squats and deadlifts.

More often than not, getting a barbell and a flat bench at the same time during the post-work rush is the equivalent of winning the lottery.

All hope is not lost. You can still work the same muscles with these 8 barbell hip thrust alternatives.
