There is a universal idiom woven to the modern lexicon when it comes to quantifying physical prowess. “How much can you lift?” is the question almost every single one of us has gotten. What does it refer to? How much you can bench. Love it or hate it, the bench press has become the universal measuring stick of upper-body strength. For beginners, however, the bench press isn’t about impressing your buddies. That one exercise has probably crippled more shoulders than any other exercise in the gym. Not because it’s dangerous—but because people are idiots. The bench press is one of…

On Episode 295 of The Menace Podcast, host Dennis James, along with his regular panelists Milos Sarcev and Jose Raymond, pitted two bodybuilding icons against each other by discussing who was best. Jay Cutler or Big Ramy? Big Ramy, the Egyptian bodybuilder whose real name is Mamdouh Elssbiay and is of Egyptian descent, took the muscle business by storm by winning the IFBB Amateur Mr. Olympia event in 2012. The following year, he made the Mr Olympia final, improving his eighth-place debut and earning back-to-back victories in 2020 and 2021. Jay Cutler is a four-time Mr. Olympia, having won the…
Jar lids harder to open after 65? Try these 4 daily exercises instead. A jar lid that won’t budge, or a shopping bag that keeps getting swapped from hand to hand, is usually the first sign your grip has slipped. I’m a trainer with TRAINFITNESS, the UK’s leading fitness education provider, and in my work with clients over 65 I see the same pattern again and again: a whole hand that’s weaker than it should be in every direction at once. The thumb is usually the first casualty. Pinch strength between the thumb and fingertips is what holds a fork,…

Modern life is built around one central promise: whatever you are doing, there is probably an easier way to do it. Dinner can arrive without cooking. Groceries can show up at the door. A car can pick us up almost anywhere, and entertainment is available before we have even decided what we want to watch. In many ways, this is an extraordinary luxury. Convenience gives people back time, expands access and removes countless daily frustrations. But there is a strange tension hiding inside all that ease. As more parts of life become faster and more frictionless, many of us still…
Weighted triceps extensions offer a great way to grow your triceps, but the overhead nature of this movement, whether standing or even seated, can place stress on your back. Fortunately, fitness and transformation coach Travis Smith has a safe solution. Quick point: we’re not here to throw shade at traditional overhead triceps extensions. This tried and tested move hits all three heads of the triceps, exhausting the medial, lateral, and especially the long head — that’s the inner part of arm. Still, for many people, the overhead triceps extension can be uncomfortable. Straightening the arms while performing triceps extensions stretches…
Legs strong after 60? A trainer reveals the wall sit hold that signals elite lower-body power. A wall sit can light up your legs in a hurry. You slide down the wall, settle into position, and suddenly your quads and glutes have to keep you there. There’s no bouncing through reps or leaning on momentum. Your lower body has to create force and hold it. After 60, that strength carries into a lot more than exercise. Strong quads and glutes help you stand up with more pop, climb stairs with more control, and move through hills or uneven ground with…
The wellness world is always chasing the next breakthrough. A newer device, a more complicated protocol, another habit positioned as the missing piece of the longevity puzzle. And yet, researchers and physicians keep returning to one of the oldest wellness practices around: sitting in a very hot room. Sauna has become a recurring subject for experts including Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Dr. Andrew Huberman, Dr. Susanna Søberg, and Dr. Stacy Sims. Their areas of expertise differ, but the reasons for their interest tend to overlap. Regular heat exposure may support cardiovascular health, recovery, stress resilience, and several of the systems involved…
