The sumo deadlift catches a lot of flak. Some lifters argue it’s cheating because the wide stance decreases the range of motion compared to the conventional deadlift. On the other side, powerlifters, coaches, and seasoned lifters say the opposite: It’s not cheating, but rather a variation that suits certain bodies better and allows them to lift without pain. The sumo deadlift is not just a social media argument about what’s a legit deadlift. It’s also a question of biomechanics, body structure, training goals, and the trade-off between risk and reward. So, before dismissing it as a fake deadlift, it’s worth…

What works best is giving your muscles a reason…

Not because it felt new, but because it made us pause and ask the obvious question- What actually happens when you drink carrot juice consistently? Their version keeps it simple, 100% cold-pressed, made with over 12 carrots per bottle with just a touch of lemon for brightness. Each bottle delivers…

The exponential improvement and integration of AI into our personal and professional lives has been almost startling. Like the cell phone, the Internet, and ATM cards, AI is here to stay. The Wall Street Journal (Bindley & Blunt, 2024) reports that companies now assess AI fluency during hiring, and annual reviews increasingly factor in how well employees use AI to increase productivity and cut costs. Some organizations even award bonuses to those who help others work smarter. When I recently rescheduled a medical appointment with an AI agent, efficient, courteous, and surprisingly “human,” I wasn’t put off at all. That…
