Drink Up! Satisfy Your Thirst Through Speed, Agility and Quickness Circuits
http://bit.ly/2FYwB6W
Fitness coach Flex Cabral pits Isopure against one of his most intense workouts.
Cardio workouts don't have to mean slogging away on a treadmill or stationary bike for hours. Brooklyn-based fitness coach, Isopure athlete, and founder of Trooper Fitness, Flex Cabral, designed this intense circuit workout to kick the dust off your boring cardio routine. This high-intensity workout uses functional, dynamic movement to keep your body guessing and your heart rate up. But how do you stay cool and hydrated during a workout this intense? Flex tests out Isopure Infusions, the company's latest protein powder innovation, to see how well it holds up against one of his most grueling routines. Flex Cabral's High-Intensity Agility-Boosting WorkoutFlex designed this workout specifically as a cure for your "lame treadmill run." These four circuits require flexibility, coordination, and dynamic movement to boost your athleticism, agility, endurance, metabolism—you name it. A treadmill doesn't stand a chance. It's definitely not for the faint of heart.
Drinking a protein powder concoction intra-workout may not sound very typical, but Infusions isn't any typical milkshake-like protein powder. It's a new, light, and refreshing—figuratively and literally—take on the most classic of muscle-building supplements. How did Isopure Infusions hold up against Flex's grueling routine? Check it out. More About Isopure InfusionsFueling your workouts is essential, but many protein powders are heavy, chalky, and the last thing you want to drink throughout a dynamic training session. Isopure, the makers of Zero Carb protein powder and Zero Carb RTD, have the solution with their new Isopure Infusions protein powder. This light, fruity protein mix is a refreshing alternative to thick, milky protein shakes. But it still packs a powerful punch with 20 grams of protein from 100% rBST-free whey protein isolate and four grams of BCAAs per serving. Plus it has no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners and is gluten and lactose free. There are five delicious flavors to choose from—citrus lemonade, mango lime, mixed berry, pineapple orange banana, and tropical punch—and each scoop has only 90 calories. See for yourself how your workout can benefit from a protein boost without the heavy, full feeling.

Top 10 Cutting Supplements for 2019
http://bit.ly/2BaAm5a
Courtesy Strong Supplements
With bulking season coming to an end, we have worked tirelessly to bring you The Top 10 Cutting Supplements for 2019 to prepare you for the Season of Shred. The past two years have seen relatively few newcomers come to the table with as much promise as True Shred from Hard Rock Supplements, which captured and maintained the number two spot not long after coming on the market last year. Users continue to report solid results from this first of a kind cutter, which is based on a hybrid technology of natural anabolics, 7-keto and a powerful estrogen blocker. True Shred’s key value driver is that it does not require post-cycle or on-cycle support, thus helping to deliver top tier results at a much lower price point. As exciting as True Shred's rise is, the top spot still belongs to Androvar, although it just beat out the new comer by the narrowest margin in its 4 years as reigning champ. The tried and true traditional cutter is still repurchased by more customers than any other cutting supplement on the market. Once again, the customers have spoken, the numbers have been tallied and without further ado… 1- Androvar by Hard Rock Supplements Androvar takes the #1 spot for the 3rd consecutive year as customers have reported it to deliver the holy grail of fitness - fat loss while building lean hard muscle. Standing out from the pack, Androvar offers users up to an 8 week supply (180 capsules) in one bottle giving them full freedom when it comes to how aggressive they would like to dose their cycle. 2- True Shred by Hard Rock Supplements True Shred exploded onto the scene in early 2018 as the first-ever hybrid cutting agent, utilizing a massive natural anabolic stack, 7-keto, and an aromatase inhibitor (no prohormones) to support users in building a lean, hard, and chiseled physique. An overloaded formula that equates to roughly 5 products in 1 that requires no on-cycle/post cycle therapy which commonly associated with more hardcore cycles. True Shred has been taking the market by storm and may very well end up taking the crown from its big brother Androvar in time. For those looking to run a cutting cycle that is low cost and less taxing on the body, True Shred is your go to option. 3- Anabolic Trinity by Hard Rock Supplements Anabolic Trinity combines 3 potent anabolic agents for building lean mass, strength and improving muscle definition. Hard Rock Supplements designed this supplement to be the next level beyond Androvar. Due to its potency it is strictly intended to be used by advanced anabolic users. Feedback has been very strong on Anabolic Trinity, and even with its potency there have been few reported side effects. 4- R-Andro Shred by Hard Rock Supplements R-Andro Shred has quietly been growing in popularity and the key to that all is its ingredients, utilizing a double stack of cutting agents that still remains unique to only R-Andro Shred with overwhelming positive feedback coming in. Users are reporting improvements in lean muscle mass, muscle fullness, vascularity, water loss, and fat loss; all the effects one would desire when it comes to looking your best when your shirt comes off. Epi 2.0 comes in as the highest rated natural cutting agent and is ideal for those looking to avoid the risk of side effects. Many users have reported that Epi 2.0 really peaks in weeks 5 and 6, suggesting that users may want to run 2 bottles back to back. If you want to keep your hormones balanced sculpting your physique, Epi 2.0 is your go to. 6- Nano Genin by Assault Nano Series A product of Assault Labs Nano Absorb Technology, Nano Genin is up to 600% more effective than capsule versions of other Laxogenin products. The new technology creates a nano sized particles of the compound which in turn get more of the ingredient into your system faster and for a longer period. Customers are responding giving the product high marks as well as loggers reporting very strong muscle gains and fat loss. Not all products can be made using the Nano Absorb Technology, but Laxogenin is particularly well suited to take full advantage. Over time customers have accelerated their re-buys of Nano Genin and the amount of positive reviews grew in at the same rate. AndroHard cracks this year’s Top 10 with an Epiandrosterone-based transdermal prohormone. This is the first supplement of its kind and user’s are loving how the technology allows them to feel the effects much quicker than pill versions of the compound. AndroHard stands out for helping users to quickly tap into an alpha-male type aggression to improve workouts while supporting muscle hardness, fat loss, and increased vascularity. 8- Exotherm by Black Lion Research Arguably one of the most unique products in the top 10 this year, Exotherm is both an estrogen reducer and fat burner delivered with a transdermal delivery system. Users have reported its strength to be on par with products that are no longer legal, helping them to produce much drier, and leaner physiques while holding less water weight. Another unique addition to this year’s Top 10, Testoshred is both a cutting agent and a testosterone booster utilizing 3 proven test boosting ingredients. User’s have been reporting increased muscle hardness and fat loss while maintaining a healthy libido - a combination we don’t often see. Sup3r-7 is a specialist in terms of increasing metabolism and using fat for fuel and is commonly used when looking to recomp one’s physique. It’s non-hormonal making it ideal for both men and women.

WWE Champion Daniel Bryan Unveils Sustainable Hemp-Based Belt
http://bit.ly/2FZxwE6
When reigning champ Daniel Bryan vowed to “change the climate” of SmackDown Live, he was being very literal. At this week's SmackDown Live, Bryan debuted a hemp-based WWE championship belt. Yes, you read that correctly: the belt is made of hemp.
After revealing his new vegan championship, Bryan threw the belt in a trashcan.
Bryan said at the event, “"A victory for me is a victory for every sentient being on earth because... I am the planet’s champion!"
The old WWE championship belts were made from leather, while this new belt is made of 100 percent sustainable organic hemp and carved from a naturally-fallen oak, according to the BBC. This move from Bryan should come as no surprise. An outspoken environmental advocate, Bryan recently tweeted against Chase Field’s newest burger inspired by the Royal Rumble.
Fans and commentators, online, jumped to Bryan’s defense and supported his eco-conscious vision for the WWE across Twitter.
Daniel Bryan will have to defend his new hemp belt against WWE superstars inside the Elimination Chamber, and the last fighter standing will be the reigning WWE champ. [RELATED1]

How Much of a Pro Bodybuilder's Success Is Dependent on Steroids?
http://bit.ly/2FZgTsi
Simon Hausberger / Getty
Ever take a look at a professional bodybuilding competition and wonder how many of the participants are using steroids? Curious to get some answers? We posed the question to Dr. Thomas O’Connor, MD, an internal medicine physician, wondering just how prevalent steroid use is within the pro bodybuilding circuit and how much they use compared to the average gym rat that dabbles in it. The response that O’Connor, aka the “Metabolic Doc,” provided is staggering. “The professional bodybuilders, yes, they do use up to 10 times the dose [of steroids] that a recreational man ... who’s in the gym,” O’Connor estimates. “The professionals do take it to a very high level.” O’Connor, a longtime participant and surveyor of the pro bodybuilding landscape, also used patient feedback—many of them current and former bodybuilders—in his estimate. He even took his estimation a step further by explaining how bodybuilders might cycle steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs. “There’s a bulking phase and cutting phase,” O’Connor says. “[Bodybuilders] blast and cruise. They’ll blast for eight to 12 weeks very heavy before shows. The cruising happens after the show. They won’t come off; they’ll lower the dosage, and they’ll cruise.” AnabolicSteroids.jpg

Clean Build of Health That’s not to say that these drugs are the only key to their success. O’Connor says that any top pro bodybuilder must possess great genetics. “I’ve been involved in this underground steroid bodybuilding, powerlifting world of performance-enhancing drugs for over 20 years,” he says. “The top professional bodybuilders, every single one, they have great genetics. You can’t give steroids to me and you. You can’t just say, ‘I’m gonna take drugs and have a professional body.’ I want to make that clear. These guys are genetic masterpieces.” The issue with that, however, comes with these “genetic masterpieces” extending their blasting period to an all-year affair—either ingesting steroids in pill form or relying on injections (intramuscular steroids) daily—to endure the rigors of the competitions and the subsequent endorsement deals with supplement companies that often follow. They need to look their best all year round. The "New" Golden Era While O’Connor suggests that pro bodybuilders are taking steroids at a much higher rate than non-competitive lifters, he says that steroids aren’t the only performance-enhancing drugs being abused by pros and average Joes. “It’s not just steroids. It’s insulin, human growth hormone (HGH), clenbuterol, diuretics,” he says. “I would say the Golden Era in the 1970s, they didn’t use very much. Now, they’re doing upward of tenfold. The drug use now is off the chart on the recreational guy and the pros.” To further drive his point home about how severe this current climate is, O'Connor says Arnold Schwarzenegger, who admitted to using steroids, "used nothing" in comparison to today's bodybuilders. "He was a church boy—that's why he's still alive," O'Connor says. "I'm telling you, this is an epidemic."

Pro Sports Nutritionist Breaks Down Tom Brady's Crazy Diet
http://bit.ly/2RvDnT2
Kevin C. Cox / Getty
Super Bowl LIII at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Sunday, February 3, will mark the third straight and ninth overall trip to the Super Bowl in Tom Brady’s illustrious career, as he tries to lead the New England Patriots to their sixth championship. It’s hard to fathom how Brady has been able to remain at the top of his game at 41 years old and with 19 grueling NFL seasons under his belt—though the future Hall of Famer will certainly point to his clean diet as part of the reason why. Eighty percent of Brady’s diet has him consuming vegetables; the other 20 percent consists of lean meats. Plus, an outrageous amount of water, as in anywhere from 12 to 25 glasses per day. (How many trips to the bathroom is that?) And that’s only the beginning of how shrewd Brady is when it comes to his meal plans and overall intake. Brady outlined some of the keys to his career longevity in his 2017 book The TB12 Method: How to Achieve a Lifetime of Sustained Peak Performance. Even the quarterback’s chef diet went on record to explain his offbeat diet. We wanted to take it a step further, so we consulted Marie Spano, M.S., R.D., C.S.C.S., sports nutritionist for the Atlanta Hawks, to break down several facets of Brady’s diet to learn if there’s anything really to it or if it’s all in his head. Here’s what she said. Brady Drinks 12 to 25 Glasses of Water Per DayFor an athlete, he’s within the range. One thing athletes do is they’ll consume enough water, but don’t consume enough electrolytes, so they dilute their blood-sodium and either cramp or feel fatigued. The average man needs 15.5 cups per day—typically 80 percent of that comes from fluid and the rest comes from food—so for the average guy, 12 to 20 is on the mark, especially if they exercise. “Eat Fruits Alone,” Brady Writes in His BookThere’s no scientific benefit for doing that—at all. They do digest quickly, but it’s also the amount of food, like if you’re having just an apple, not five or six apples, which will slow digestion. Some people don’t like to feel a lot of food in their gut, or they feel they’ll consume small amounts of foods at a time and they’ll stick to these foods. He could be one of these people. No Nightshades (Tomatoes, Eggplants, Peppers, etc.)He’s staying away from nightshades. For most people, they’re not going to cause any issues; however, for someone with certain autoimmune diseases, nightshades could be problematic. Also, for those people who have food sensitivities to certain components of nightshades, they could have adverse reactions. Bottom line: for most people, they’re fine. For some people with autoimmune diseases, they can cause gut issues, gut inflammation, etc. Don’t mix proteins and carbsThere’s no science to support this. Maybe he notices he feels better, or maybe it’s a placebo effect, but there’s no science that supports not mixing carbohydrates and protein together. When it comes to being an athlete, consuming both after exercise is a great idea. You replace your carbohydrate intake and you also provide the building blocks to build and repair new tissue in muscle. Organic Foods OnlyThere’s no known difference as far as athletic performance from eating organic vs. conventional food. No Coffee — Yes, Brady Insists He’s Never Even Sipped CoffeeSome people are caffeine sensitive. If the people are slow metabolizers of caffeine, research of endurance athletes show that they may actually have worse performances if they have caffeine ahead of time before exercise. People who are fast metabolizers of caffeine benefit from it. In my experience, athletes just basically feel it. They intuitively know that ‘caffeine works for me’ or ‘I don’t like caffeine.’ No DairyUnless you’re lactose intolerant or you have a sensitivity to dairy, there’s no reason to stay away from dairy. There’s a lot of myths about staying away from dairy. People like elimination diets because they feel better like, ‘OK, I got rid of this and this.’ It’s conceptually easy. What’s harder is paying attention to general calorie intake or looking at your macronutrient diet. That involves more steps. No Iodized SaltSome people who stay away from salt can have thyroid problems, because they don’t have enough iodine in their diet. I don’t know why he’d stay away from that. Bottom LineI’d say he has a healthier diet than the majority of people. He eats a heck of a lot of vegetables, he eats lean meats and fish, he drinks plenty of water. He has an overall healthy diet. Despite the fact that some of the things he does aren’t based on science, his diet is healthy. One thing I’ve seen, athletes who are in the game—whatever game it is—for a longer period of time, eat a healthier diet. From what I’ve seen, to stay in the game — and football is a very tough game, so it’s hard on the body — you’ve got to eat a healthy diet for that career longevity.

Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov Officially Suspended for UFC 229 Brawl
http://bit.ly/2RpqE4c
Ed Mulholland/Zuffa LLC/Zuffa LLC / Getty
The Nevada State Athletic Commission has finally dropped the hammer on two of the UFC's most popular fighters for their involvement in the brawl at UFC 229. Conor McGregor was handed a six-month ban with a $50,000 fine, while Khabib Nurmagomedov was handed a nine-month ban with a $500,000 fine, which can turn into six months if he participates in an anti-bullying campaign in Nevada. The suspensions will be backdated to the night of the fight meaning McGregor will be eligible to fight on April 6, while the UFC champ can make his return on July 6. The post-fight brawl came after Nurmagomedov submitted McGregor in the 4th round, and suddenly scaled the cage to confront McGregor's camp, while McGregor was scuffling with Nurmagomedov's camp inside of the octagon. Following the ruling, McGregor was pretty content with the length of his suspension and even recounted the events of the night.
Although McGregor's suspension will lift in April, he probably wasn't going to realistically fight before then, anyway. As far as his next fight, there are a few options on the table, such as Donald Cerrone, George St-Pierre, and of course a rematch with the UFC champ. As for Nurmagomedov, he obviously thinks he got the short end of the stick and tweeted this following his suspension.
In addition to the Khabib being banned, his cousin, Abubakar Nurmagomedov, and teammate, Zubaira Tukhugov, each received a one-year suspension and $25,000 fine for their involvement in the brawl. The Russian's next fight is not confirmed, but his manager Ali Abdelaziz said he's targeting a November return at MSG. Although neither fighter has a confirmed next fight, UFC 229 was the UFC's highest-selling pay-per-view, so don't be surprised if these two will be knuckling-up again in the near future. [RELATED1]

Breaking the Mold
http://bit.ly/2BaCo5c
You were born into an industrialized world of domestication, isolation, and categorization. Pop Tarts for breakfast. Mom transports you to school. Sit still in class. Walk to another class with an entirely unrelated, compartmentalized subject. Sit still. Soda and square pizza at lunch. Every other day you get to move in PE. Your social energy is invested in finding an appropriate group category. Perhaps athlete or the theatre clique. Ride the bus home. Do your homework and watch TV before having Hamburger Helper or a frozen pizza for dinner.
Mom and dad were cogs in the machine, working jobs you hardly understood—insurance claims or as a data specialist—to provide more material accumulation. This was your goal. Go to college. Study business, finance, or something tech related in hopes of getting a high-paying job. The point was to put yourself in a comfortable position so you could afford all the things you want—nice cars, nice house, nice clothes, a house-cleaner, a premium television package, and all that makes life wonderful.
College was a blast, although classes were tough and, often, uninspiring. A means to end. You graduated and got a good job with lots of room for advancement. You’re selling something. It doesn’t really matter what. You punch the numbers in the spreadsheets, or make the sales calls to customers, or maintain inventory, or some other role on this figurative assembly line. You are disconnected from the beginning and the end, isolated in your cubicle, pushing paper for pay.
You are still drinking and eating like a college student. These habits provide relief from the mind-numbing work and dissatisfying lack of purpose. Absent of intramural sports and a biker-friendly campus, your physique inevitably deteriorates.
This leaves two choices. Deny your desire to be better, or make a change. You opt for a gym membership. It is refreshing to be in a new environment with new people. While initially annoyed by how quickly your body has declined, you’re amazed how good you feel after a workout.
But that novelty soon wears off. It becomes a chore to get to the gym. Sitting all day makes you tired. Workouts are uninspiring.
You run like a hamster on a wheel while watching the news. You walk a never-ending staircase. You bike without moving. You go to the arms section for arms, the legs section for legs, and then the ab section for abs. Industrialization and domestication.
The Daily GrindEach day becomes a cycle of going to work and working enough to avoid notice, scanning social media and Amazon for things that might shake you out of your rut, battling traffic to get across town, and then punishing yourself at the gym, limb by limb, under the guise that this is the only path to health.
In the locker-room you overhear a guy talking about his new diet. He is only working out three days a week and he’s lost 30 lbs. All you have to do is militantly count calories. He gets 2,000 per day and tracks them on an app. He’s found that by buying a lot of low fat foods he can eat more because fats have nine calories per gram versus the four of protein and carbs. His wisdom becomes your introduction to “clean eating.” Categorize foods by macronutrient profile and count the calories. Industrialization and domestication.
You become obsessed with buying packaged foods with clearly marked calories and then adding up the calorie totals each time you eat. Clearly this is no way to live. You feel lethargic. Every day there seems to be new sweets in the office that take away from what you can eat the rest of the day.
Eventually, you get a promotion and see your workload increase. After a fun weekend at a friend's wedding you remember how free and easy life used to be. You are done with this crap.
This is normal. This is the standard model of life that we’ve been handed.
We don’t just eat. The concept of prioritizing whole foods available in nature seems bizarre. Like, you don’t eat chips? We don’t just move as an obvious extension of being alive. We won’t bike to work, but we think we need to get up an hour early to ride a stationary bike. We won’t mow our own lawn, or take the stairs, but we’ll do lunges around the track. We aren’t connected to projects that have clear beginnings and ends. We rarely play and have little understanding about what will give life meaning.
The Funnel of SocietySociety funnels us towards work, material accumulation, dating, marriage, and eventually having kids that require us to make more money in order to maintain the things we all “need.” With few other examples, and the overwhelming pull of smartphone distraction, these children are quickly indoctrinated into the same patterns.
It is a cold, artificial, reductionist world that misses the obvious interrelations between everything. Contrast this to the world your biology was intended.
Hunting and gathering was the only job and all in your tribe were on the same team. The group depended on you. You’d explore constantly, deeply in tune with the environment and all your senses. Each day introduced novel movement from climbing trees to jumping between boulders. Time was spent on hunting missions and building projects. Free time was ample and led to games, music, and stories around the communal fire. It was a life of natural harmony and discovery.
Sure, there were dangers and hardships, but there was also great freedom and strength. Each person got to realize the resilient beast they were made to be. They knew who they were, what they were capable, and what they would die for. They faced rites of passage that clearly illuminated their immense capability and forged unshakable bonds through profound, vulnerable experience.
Obesity, depression, anxiety, suicide, and drug overdoses all climb to disturbing heights. We’re entrapped by debt, stuck in a chair doing meaningless work, while totally disconnected from the universals of the human experience. Insulated from reality, society is immersed in creature comforts, growing dependent on sweets and heated seats. We become brittle and entitled, feeling afflicted by the exact gift that we need—the adversity that would call us to purpose, authenticity, and a greater version of ourselves.
We can’t hide from our bio-evolutionary nature and expect to thrive. But, perhaps, we don’t need to go back to a nomadic existence to realize the essentiality in honoring these deep human needs for authenticity, connection, and competency.
In our work at Inspired Human Development, Justin Lind and I refer to the concept of a Standard Model. As Justin first defined it:
“The standard model is life as we know it. It is the promise of happiness and fulfillment if you only just follow the expected and “normal” path through Western life.”
Life Is Too Short to Be NormalLet’s break the mold.
Breaking the mold is about questioning the standard model of fitness and life. It is about challenging the compartmentalization and needless limitation of this artificial world in order to experience a fuller existence. It is about breaking down walls so fitness intersects with life and offers a portal to a new way of thinking. The body is the entry point for self-development, but if we don’t eventually take it further than arbitrarily selected fitness goals we are sacrificing this gift.
My aim is not to attack the gym, but to remember that the point of the weight room has always been to make us capable of more outside of it—to enhance our lives and make us capable of doing the activities that make life special. We don't go to the gym in order to punish ourselves for a bland, sedentary life, or to excuse laziness and limited living through the rest of our week. Rather, the gym was created to offer unique challenge and training that amplify our pursuits and bring greater possibility to our lives.
Breaking the mold is about asking why.
The past few generations have grown up absent of any mission or grand challenge. Without unifying purpose, the point of life became self-promotion, consumption, and convenience. Our lives were regimented around these outcomes. The markers of adulthood became automatic and material. Eventually we took on the appearance and habits of adulthood, but without the strength and confidence we were sure would follow. A large part of us is desperately aware that we only have one life to live, yet unsatisfied with how each day is spent.
But, we have to do these things to provide for our children. The best thing any parent can do for their child is model a strong, tenacious spirit and a passionate life. Strong parents. Strong kids.
Stuff doesn’t matter. What really matters? Health, a joy in movement, passionate hobbies, a sense of freedom, confidence in your competency, deep relationships, and a desire to learn, grow, and chase challenges so that we are always becoming more.
We are already rebels. Fitness, in and of itself, is an act of counter-culture in this crazy world. Let’s take it further. Break the mold. Break down category and reductionism. Fitness and life should be messy, beautiful, and human. Fitness is not separate from life. It bleeds into every arena, and likewise, is informed by all our other experiences. Everything is everything again. We are an integrated, complex machine.
This Week’s MissionWorkout outside. It’s cold? Even better. It’s muddy? That’s the spirit.
Play with and practice these animal movements, courtesy of Justin Lind. Don’t worry about counting sets or reps. Just play as long as you can and feel free to let the momentum bring you into more creative play, whether handstand practice, cartwheels, a game of catch, or a joyful jog.
If other people are around you might feel awkward. Don’t be afraid of being weird.
Life is too short to be normal.
