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…
Mike “The Bad Ass” Sommerfeld is on a mission to defend his Arnold Men’s Classic Physique title and is taking a no-nonsense approach to outperforming the likes of Wesley Vissers and a debuting Sam Sulek. To illustrate this, the gigantic German used a recent Instagram post to share one of his go-to leg days for total domination, and you can try it too. Sommerfeld brought the complete package to the stage during the 2025 Arnold Classic, impressing the judges with his muscle mass, definition, symmetry, and conditioning, but with a stacked field ahead of him in March, the big man…
Restore lost muscle after 60 with 5 daily moves, plus trainer cues for safe, steady progress. Muscle loss after 60 doesn’t happen overnight, but it accelerates quietly when movement patterns shrink. Sitting more, avoiding load, and relying on machines or occasional workouts teaches muscles to switch off between sessions. Over time, strength fades not from lack of effort, but from lack of daily activation. Restoring muscle at this age depends less on heavy lifting and more on frequency, control, and full-body engagement. Muscles respond best when they receive regular signals to contract, stabilize, and coordinate. Daily exercises rebuild that signal,…
There’s a moment in filmmaking called a focus pull—when the camera shifts attention from one subject to another. Nothing new enters the frame. Nothing leaves. What changes is what matters. Lately, I’ve been thinking about focus the same way. In a short video I revisited recently, I’m out of focus. Soft. Blurred. Meanwhile, the things around me—objects in my office, familiar visual cues—are sharp. Clear. Present. At first glance, that might feel backward. Aren’t we supposed to remove distractions? Strip the environment down? Clear the desk, clear the mind? Not always. Sometimes focus isn’t about eliminating what’s around us. It’s…
Nick Walker is currently heading towards prep in the hopes of winning a second Arnold Classic title in the Men’s Open division this March, but the man they call “The Mutant” has no time for bodybuilders that remain in a constant bad mood because of a desire to stay super-lean all year round. Recently the big man explained his gripe during an Instagram reel for his almost 2 million followers. “If you’re in prep, you know, four to six weeks out (from a competition), the odds are you’re not happy go lucky, I don’t care what anyone says,” shared Walker,…
Reduce the circumference of your waistline by adding these daily moves to your routine. Here’s a newsflash: Nobody loves love handles. In fact, most individuals would be happy if they were banished forever. The first step most people may take is to plan ab work in their routine to build and strengthen the oblique muscles. This will help you achieve a toned, firmer physique in this area. But if you’d like a faster method, we have a different plan. We spoke with a fitness pro who shares five daily exercises to shrink love handles quicker than ab workouts after 50.…

We talk a lot about gut health and skin health, but rarely about the health of our homes. Yet the products we use to clean our spaces affect everything from air quality to how our bodies feel day to day. Many “non toxic” cleaners sound reassuring, but behind the labels are vague claims and formulas that either don’t work or rely on harsh chemistry. It often feels like choosing between a clean home and a healthy one. Alter:Bio is reframing that idea entirely, treating the home as a living ecosystem rather than something to sterilize. We sat down with the…
