Am I passive aggressive? Passive-aggressive behavior involves indirectly expressing negative emotions.

If you feel like a coworker’s criticism was too harsh, you might pretend like you didn’t hear it and intentionally do a bad job on the next assignment. You may also: “Forget” to take your partner’s clothes out of the washing machine when you’re mad…

Parents in the U.S. are collectively stressed out and burned out—and it’s officially a public health issue, says Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, MD, in a new advisory released Wednesday called Parents Under Pressure. This fact isn’t news to most parents (including me, whose toddlers are currently circling me, alternating demands for snacks and to “watch me!”). But it is news that our mental and physical exhaustion is finally being acknowledged on such a national stage, with Dr. Murthy calling for tangible support that goes beyond platitudes. Dr. Murthy—a father of two himself—is responsible for identifying public health threats and providing guidance…

Our bodies use protein to build and repair muscle (and provide energy and break down food and support growth and development). But if you’re looking for other sources of protein — particularly those that don’t add loads of extra fat and calories — where should you start? How much protein (and how many calories) you need is different for everyone. But there are rules around what can be called “high protein.” A food needs to provide 20% or more of the daily (DV) or 10 grams based on a 2,000-calorie diet.

What many people don’t realize about hypertrophy is that it’s basically isolated conditioning, supplemented by higher caloric intake to make muscles grow.  In most movements in the gym, muscles often benefit from increasing work capacity and overall cumulative volume, to ultimately fully fatigue a muscle by the end of a 60 minute session.  And truth be told, under that umbrella, there are many ways to skin a cat and that one less popular method that’s worth its weight in gold is the use of contrast set training. Contrast set training is a fantastic way to make muscle fibers not only…
