The barbell overhead press might seem like a grab-and-go exercise. Still, anyone who has overhead pressed serious weight knows this move punishes sloppy setup more than almost any other lift. Miss one detail and the bar drifts forward, your lower back over-extends, or your shoulders say no thank you. Unlike bench pressing or deadlifting, the overhead press places your entire body under the bar. Your feet, legs, core, lats, and upper back are all on high alert. That’s why experienced lifters don’t treat the overhead press as a “grab and go” movement because the setup creates stability. Stability creates power,…

Rebuild chest muscle after 50, try these 5 daily moves from a certified trainer, starting today. Chest muscle loss after 50 rarely comes from skipping the bench press. It shows up when pressing patterns lose posture, shoulder control fades, and the chest stops working with the upper back and core. Traditional benching often shortens range, limits stabilization, and shifts effort into joints rather than muscle tissue. Daily chest rebuilding works best through standing and controlled movements that demand tension without heavy load. Slow tempo, extended holds, and posture-driven presses stimulate muscle fibers more consistently than weekly heavy sessions. This approach…

Below is an approximation of this video’s audio content. To see any graphs, charts, graphics, images, and quotes to which Dr. Greger may be referring, watch the above video. How does the fiber we eat in foods impact our appetites and our resting metabolic rate––the amount of calories burned just by existing? What happens when we eat fiber-filled foods like beans? Researchers in Sweden gave people beans for supper, and by the next morning, after their friendly flora had a chance to eat them too, their satiety hormones like PYY were up, their hunger hormone ghrelin was down, and they…

You’re going through something big, but you don’t speak up. You’re exhausted, but you white-knuckle through the day. Your friends offer help, but you brush it off. If this sounds familiar, you probably pride yourself for being self-sufficient and always tending to your own needs. But when you make a conscious choice to remain an island—sometimes even choosing to sink rather than seeking out help—you’re practicing an extreme form of self-reliance known as toxic independence. While not an official classification in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the trait could still have some undesired effects on your…

In Episode 268 of “The Menace Podcast,” class was in session as host Dennis James and Milos ‘The Mind’ Sarcev asked Chris ‘The Real Deal’ Cormier to explain one of his favorite arm-growing workouts. IFBB Pro legend Chris Cormier kicked his bodybuilding career off in 1987, winning the teenage division of the NPC California Championships and during his twenty-year run, The Real Deal competed in multiple Arnold’s, placing second for six-straight years. He was also a Mr Olympia final regular, making the top 3 in 1999 and 2002. In his prime, Cormier’s conditioning was complimented by full, round muscles that…

Tired of arm flab after 55? Try these 4 daily moves from a certified trainer, starting today. Arm flab after 55 rarely comes from weak muscles alone. It develops when the shoulders lose stability, the upper back stops supporting posture, and the arms move without tension for most of the day. Even regular workouts can miss the issue if movements rely on momentum or seated support. Tightening the arms requires daily signals that teach the muscles to stay active while the body stays upright. Light resistance, slow tempo, and posture-driven exercises outperform heavier lifting because they increase time under tension…

There’s a quote that’s been rattling around in my head lately: Life isn’t about transactions. It’s about transitions. I don’t know who, if anyone said it. And honestly, that feels fitting. Some ideas don’t belong to anyone—they just arrive when you’re ready to notice them. Most of the systems we’re given for living assume life is transactional. You do this, you get that. Put in the time, earn the result. Check the box, move on to the next. That framing shows up everywhere: in productivity advice, in relationships, in how we think about work, money, even time itself. But when…

Sebastian Oreb, better known as “The Australian Strength Coach” to his more than half a million followers on Instagram, knows the importance of lifting heavy while staying injury free. And, as the mentor of Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, the results speak for themselves. So, when Oreb took to social media in order to correct the common flaw of over-arching during squats, it was clear that he had our backs… literally. Finding the perfect form during traditional back squats can be especially difficult. There are a number of factors to consider, such as foot placement and keeping the barbell stable while resting…

“Mothers who take Tylenol often do so because they have fever, for instance from an infection, or they have pain from other conditions and complications, perhaps even stress—and all of these themselves raise developmental risks,” Sura Alwan, MSc, PhD, an epidemiologist based in British Columbia and executive director of the nonprofit PEAR-Net Society (Pregnancy Exposures, Advocacy, and Research Network), tells SELF.There are also plenty of variables unrelated to Tylenol use—like genetics, household environment, and maternal health history—that could affect the development of autism in the children of moms who took the medication while pregnant. It’s the reason some researchers have…
