Unilateral Exercises

Many of our go-to exercises like bench press can be great for strengthening, however if it’s the only way we train, we might be suffering in the long run. Unilateral exercises can help correct muscle imbalances in training. When doing bilateral movements, the dominant limb may compensate for the weaker limb, so unilateral will ensure that each side is working equally. Doing unilateral training will also help with overall symmetry, as well as engaging your core more.

When your joints don’t feel good, you don’t feel good. These 300 connection points are important for your daily life, as well as your workouts. Healthy joints can help you stay mobile as you age.

Testosterone. It’s a necessary male hormone which is the reason you have facial hair, a deeper voice, and made it through puberty.

1. Go for the Stairmaster first
 
The Stairmaster is readily available at most gyms and is one of the tougher pieces of cardio there. Another option is to walk or run the stairs outdoors (or indoors if you have the space and you won’t inconvenience other people). 
 
Almost none of the other equipment at the gym (besides intense weighted cardio like sled pulling or pushing a prowler) will elevate your heart rate or make you sweat intensely. 
Although this blog is intended to highlight the best supplements for mass building, we must reiterate that supplements alone are not the key to building muscle. Building muscle requires an adequate amount of food, from high-quality sources, with a big focus on protein. A good measure for protein intake is the recommended 0.8g-1.2g per pound of bodyweight. You should also have a mix of both complex and simple carbs, and healthy fats. 
 

The workout supplement and protein supplement is a multibillion dollar industry right now. Chances are, if you’ve been on the fitness side of the internet, you’ve probably heard of BCAAs and all the magic that they give. 
In their 60’s, men have a 50% chance of having an enlarged prostate. By the age of 80, nearly 90% of men will live with BPH, or benign prostatic hyperplasia. That means there’s a pretty good chance that you may develop BPH in your life. Fortunately, certain diets and regular exercise may prevent or reduce the risk of this happening.
