Looking to spice up your sex life?

You know, because the whips and chains just aren’t doing it for you anymore.

Neither is that sex swing that’s bolted into the ceiling of your bedroom, a bedroom that just so happens to be a bedroom that guests have to walk through to get to the only bathroom in your house and thus always presents an awkward situation when you have company over, especially your parents.

Yeah, what you’re currently doing in the bedroom has lost its novelty, so here you are looking for new ways to make sex hotter and sexier again. And that’s when it hits you that instead of doing something like buying yet another sex pillow to add to your collection of sex positioning furniture, simplicity may be all that’s needed, which leads you to the idea of bringing some food into the action.

Well, you can’t go wrong with strawberries, an age-old favorite for food foreplay! Continue reading Strawberry Nutrition Facts

How To: Dumbbell Lateral Raises

Want more shapely shoulders?

Then you should focus on developing the medial delts, which can be done with lateral raises, an exercise that has countless variations.

Another great movement pattern for the lateral delts is the upright row, which is traditionally performed with a barbell and just so happens to target the traps and rhomboids as well. However, as good of an exercise as the upright row is in building mass in the shoulders and upper back, it’s infamous for causing joint and soft tissue problems due to the barbell locking the wrists and shoulder blades into a fixed position that stresses them. Rather than abstaining from the exercise altogether or soldiering on with it because fucked up wrists and rotator cuffs are a worthy sacrifice for a banging body, you can simply perform the dumbbell variation.

Why You Should Reward Yourself

Have you tried to lose weight in the past?

Did it go agonizingly slow?

Did you eventually quit?

It’s hard to stay consistent when you don’t see immediate results from whatever it is you’re doing, which is one of the problems with long-term goals and why many of them fail.

The solution? Continue reading Why You Should Reward Yourself

Hand Grippers

Farmer’s carry. Dumbbell or barbell shrugs. Lat pulldowns. Deadlifts. For a lot of people, the limiting factor for these and other lifts is their grip strength, meaning the muscles in their wrists and forearms tap out before the target muscles in their lats, traps, and elsewhere.

The solution to this dilemma is hand grippers. Continue reading Hand Grippers

How To: Seated Dumbbell Curls

The curl is one of the most popular exercises in existence, as everyone wants bigger guns and the movement is what can make that possible by way of it working the muscles of the upper arm. Different equipment can be used to perform a myriad of variations, one of which is the seated dumbbell curl.

Varying from standing dumbbell curls in the fact that seated dumbbell curls are performed sitting down rather than up on one’s feet, that key difference is what makes the seated dumbbell curl a potentially better choice than the standing version for someone looking for maximum gains. That’s because when seated, it’s not as easy for the legs and back to become involved in the lift and provide assistance that takes stress off the intended muscle.¹Here’s a science experiment for you to do the next time you’re in the gym…

Perform as many seated dumbbell curls as you can. Once you reach failure, get up and switch to standing dumbbell curls. The ease in which you crank out additional reps during the second half of the circuit will not be the same were you to do the opposite, that of starting with standing dumbbell curls and then switching to seated dumbbell curls upon failure, as sitting down makes it so you’re not able to cheat as much with the use of your back and legs like I fucking told you!

And what happens when the difficulty of an exercise is reduced, such as when other muscles take over? Continue reading How To: Seated Dumbbell Curls
