Days out from the 2024 Olympia event in Las Vegas, Dorian Yates, who is undoubtedly one of the greatest competitors of all time has been reminiscing about some of the mandatory poses that he threw down back in the day. After recently winning over the internet by claiming his Front Lat Spread pose was the best of all time,  he has taken a look at another mandatory illustration of muscle: the Rear (or Back) Double Biceps. “So here, as always, the whole body is judged and although the name is ‘back double bicep’, not a huge emphasis is actually placed…

There are two main types of nutritional algae that you’ll find in greens supplements: chlorella and spirulina. Both are microalgae that are dried into a dark green powder and “provide a variety of key nutrients, such as healthy fats and vegan protein,” says BODi Principal Scientist Paul Falcone. While they both contain high levels of antioxidant-like compounds and are taken as health-promoting supplements, is one better than the other? Falcone helped us take a closer look at chlorella vs spirulina, so read on to see which green reigns supreme as the best high-quality, plant-based source of vitamins, protein, and antioxidants. What’s the Difference Between…

In this special Flashback Friday episode, I reconnect with David Allen, the creator of the Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology, to discuss his latest book, Team: Getting Things Done with Others, co-authored with Ed Lamont. We also revisit a classic conversation where we discussed the evolution of GTD, reflecting on its past, present, and the future of productivity practices. David has been a regular guest on the show, and this time we dive into the complexities of translating GTD principles to a team setting, and how the GTD philosophy continues to evolve. We also touch on topics such as remote…

Tucker Wetmore got an early jump on the country music charts long before his first EP dropped. As “Waves on a Sunset,” makes its debut on Oct. 4, Wetmore already two songs account for more than a combined 200 million streams. And with more hits blowing up the charts, he says this just the beginning. Arguably the only thing faster than the 24-year-old’s unconventional ascent to becoming one of country music’s hottest new artists may be Wetmore’s 40-yard-dash time in high school. Before lighting up country music was even a thought, Wetmore was lighting up defenses as an all-state wide…

In the hallowed halls of bodybuilding, there’s no prize more coveted, no symbol more iconic than the Sandow Trophy. Hoisted triumphantly overhead by legends like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lee Haney, Dorian Yates, Ronnie Coleman, and Jay Cutler, this majestic statue is a tribute to a pioneer of the sport: Eugen Sandow. The Embodiment of Bodybuilding The Sandow Trophy’s journey mirrors the evolution of bodybuilding itself. The first trophy, a gold-plated statuette awarded at Sandow’s 1901 “The Great Competition,” was sadly lost to the ravages of World War II. However, a newer version of the prize emerged in 1950 for the Mr.…

Sound health is a prerequisite for happiness. While for adults, it is vital for defining your quality of life, for children, it is essential for proper growth, both physically and mentally. In other words, an indicative measure of good health in adults is manifest in the height weight chart. Since childhood, you are accustomed to two adages “Health is wealth” and “Sound mind in a sound body”. Moreover, these are two cardinal truths that amply define what health is all about. So, merely being free from disease or infirmity does not reflect your health in totality. Above all, your health…

The concept of starvation mode is that when you restrict calories, your body has a “hold it right there” response. To prevent you from losing weight rapidly, your metabolism slows, conserving energy by reducing the calories it burns.Research shows starvation mode — formally called adaptive thermogenesis or metabolic adaptation — is a legit phenomenon. It’s well documented that sometimes, the more weight you lose (and the more rapidly you do so), the more your body resists the process.Evolutionarily speaking, this may be a holdover from when humans faced food scarcity and needed a mechanism for self-preservation. But in today’s world,…

Move over, aluminum basin full of hose water and ice. There’s a new cold plunge in town, and she’s fancy. In fact, she’s the fanciest tub we’ve ever seen—and the most expensive. On Tuesday, Kohler and the wellness social club Remedy Place announced the launch of an ice bath that will run customers $15,000. The “KOHLER x Remedy Place Ice Bath” isn’t shipping quite yet. Currently, customers can only register to pre-order, which will get you a call from a Kohler sales rep—and a pair of Remedy Place x Kohler ice bath socks. For what amounts to, essentially, a container…
