I know you’d rather work out alone because you’re too antisocial — or at least that’s what you comfort yourself with because you’re a loser who no one wants to be around — but you should really consider getting a training partner.

Like, do a hated activity with another human being, one you more than likely hate?!

Whaaaa…whaaaa…why would you do that to yourself?!

I think the better question is why would someone want to do that to themselves and be around yoooooooouuuuuuuuuuu?!?!

But okay…let’s count the benefits of working out with a partner! Continue reading 5 Benefits Of Working Out With A Partner

Looking every bit like a watch or bracelet depending on the model, an activity tracker is worn on the wrist by the pulse to measure the heart rate, keep track of movement, and calculate calorie burn with those two data points.1Some even provide GPS navigation so your spouse doesn’t have to keep picking you up a block away from home every time you call to tell them you got lost on your run. Ahhhhhh, modern technology!

When worn while working out, an activity tracker helps to assess intensity level better than the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) scale and more accurately than the monitor on a piece of cardio equipment…

Want bigger arms?

Ha, who doesn’t!

Because you want bigger arms, you know that you have to do curls.

But wait, what are you to do if you have trouble fully holding a barbell or dumbbell because your wrist hurts from jerking off too much or going across someone’s face with your pimp hand with a wee bit too much force? Or maybe you’re not injured and just need some variety in your arm training because you’d rather shoot yourself in the head than use the same equipment to perform the same curl exercises you’ve done thousands of times already. Heck, maybe you’re traveling and don’t have access to a gym but want to pump up your arms. What are you to do in those situations?!?!

The answer is resistance band biceps curls, buddy!

Resistance band curls are friendlier on the joints than weights, challenge the biceps in a different way than weights because the muscles have to work against the tension of the band rather than against gravity, and the exercise can be performed anywhere because resistance bands are portable.

So yeah, resistance band bicep curls for the win! Continue reading How To: Resistance Band Bicep Curls
