Best on the Planet – Triceps That Need Horseshoes of Their Own

Best on the Planet – Triceps That Need Horseshoes of Their Own

Best Triceps In The World
For most people, a tricep workout is limited to a few cable pressdowns and a couple of dips. Although the triceps are a small muscle group, they need a lot of attention and exercise variation.
The triceps consist of three heads which need to be trained with different exercises for overall development. Athletes in the article have proved their mettle by putting in the time and dedication which goes into building the horseshoe triceps.
Roelly Winklaar

Roelly has one of the nastiest arms in the business. The definition of his triceps looks like they are straight out of a comic book. Winklaar seems to be improving on his arms with every passing year.
Lee Priest

Let’s get the elephant out of the room by acknowledging Lee Priest had one of the best triceps back in the day. What Lee lacked in height, he made up with his muscle symmetry, definition, and volume.
Kevin Levrone

Kevin Levrone is one of the best bodybuilders of all time. He’s also considered to be an uncrowned Mr. Olympia. Kevin’s symmetry and aesthetics flowed down to his triceps and set him apart from his competition.
Flex Lewis

Flex is a 7X 212 Mr. Olympia and probably has one of the best genetics in the industry. Lewis has thick and striated triceps. His triceps pop out more because of his small joints and full muscle bellies.
Julian Smith

Although Julian Smith is known as the “Quad Guy”, his muscle conditioning is top-notch. Smith focuses on his triceps using different techniques including varying TuT (time under tension) and rep ranges.
Rob Riches

It doesn’t get any better than Rob Riches when it comes to muscle definition. You could actually learn muscle anatomy on Rob’s triceps. The muscle composition and symmetry set Rob apart from the crowd.
Sadik Hadzovic

Sadik Hadzovic is a crowd favorite and his 2.5 million followers on Instagram are proof. Hazovic has the golden era aesthetics and focuses on the overall development of his body. The back of his arms is perfectly balanced, conditioned and shaped.
Chris Bumstead

Chris Bumstead is a classic physique competitor. His broad shoulders and narrow waist will give you flashbacks of the golden era of bodybuilding. Bumstead follows a no-nonsense approach while training his tris and the results speak for themselves.
Ulisses Jr.

Ulisses Jr. is an internet fitness celebrity and his crazy aesthetics have won the world over. He is a hard worker and balances his workouts between lifting heavy, keeping the intensity high and focusing on his core.
Shawn Rhoden

How could we leave the reigning Mr. Olympia out of the list? Being Mr. Olympia means the athlete is the best bodybuilder in the world. We couldn’t find a fault with Rhoden’s physiques even if we tried.

The 10 Best Band Exercises

The 10 Best Band Exercises

Best Resistance Band Exercises You Should Be Doing
The resistance band exercises are some of the most undervalued and underutilized exercises. Bands are one of the few types of training equipment which change its resistance level at different positions throughout an exercise’s range of motion.
A band will add resistance as its being extended and will reduce the added tension as it returns to the starting position. A resistance band’s variable resistance property is fantastic in improving your weak muscle groups and building explosive strength.

MORE: Check out our list of the Best Resistance Bands here!

Assisted Pull-Ups

If you’re a fitness noob and can’t do a pull-up, the baned pull-ups are an incredibly effective way of building upper body strength. You might need different types of bands for different exercises. You should reduce the band strength as you get better at the pull-ups.
Banded Push-Ups
The banded push-ups are the only push-up variation which allows you to have constant tension on your pectoral muscles throughout the movement. You can change the resistance of the bands by grabbing them at different lengths.

Bicep Curls
You could train virtually every muscle group using the resistance bands which leaves you with no excuses to ever miss a workout. The bicep curls are a simple exercise which can help in building definition in your guns.
Wood Choppers
Performing banded ab exercises can leave your midsection sore for days. Tie one end of the band at waist height to a vertical bar and grab the other end with both your hands. You should stretch out your arms to the sides at the starting point of the movement. Turn to the other side while breathing out and squeezing your abs. Return to the starting position and repeat for recommended reps.
Chest Flyes
Attach a resistance band to a pole and mimic the movement of the cable chest flyes. You should pause and squeeze your muscles with every rep while performing the exercises mentioned on the list.
Banded Leg Press
The resistance band use is limited by your imagination. You can add the bands to machines and put additional tension on your muscles. The banded leg press machine will have the highest tension at the top of the movement and the least at the bottom.

Tricep Extensions
Although the triceps is one-half of your arms, they don’t get the same love as the bis. Doing the banded tricep extensions will fill your tris with blood and lactic acid. You could perform variations like the standing, overhead, and bent over tricep extensions with the resistance bands.
Banded Bench Press
The banded bench press is an advanced exercise and should only be attempted by seasoned lifters. The resistance bands bring your core into action. As a result, your muscle stabilizers grow stronger.
Squats
In the big three compound lifts (bench press, squats, and deadlifts), you can keep one end of the band planted on the floor by tying it around a heavy dumbbell. The other end should be wrapped around the barbell.
Shoulder Front Raises
Performing the banded shoulder front raises will annihilate your anterior deltoids by keeping them under constant tension. We highly recommend adding resistance band exercises to your training routine as they can take your gains to the next level.

The 6 Best Strength Building Exercises You’re Not Doing

The 6 Best Strength Building Exercises You’re Not Doing

6 Greatest Exercises To Build Strength
With the advancement and mainstreaming of machines in the gyms around the world, people tend to stick to exercises they’re comfortable doing. The sad news is, strength gains lie outside your comfort zone.
If you want to improve on your strength, you’ll have to give up the isolation exercises for compound (multi-joint) lifts. Performing the exercises mentioned in the article will take your strength gains to a whole new level.

Clean and Press
When was the last time you performed the clean and presses or saw someone perform then in your gym? Lifting weights off the floor and over your head is a badass way of putting your brute strength at the display.

The clean and press consist of two main movements. The first part entails lifting the barbell off the floor and to your shoulder level. In the second movement, you need to push the weight overhead. Return to the starting position with a slow and controlled movement, and repeat for the recommended reps.
Deadlifts
Many people prefer using machines or doing rowing exercises in place of the deadlifts for convenience. The deadlifts should be a staple in your back workouts. An effective back workout should be as brutal (if not more) as an annihilating leg workout.
The deadlifts are a full-body exercise and are fantastic for building overall strength. Keep your chest up, back arched, and drive through the heels, knees, and hips to move the weight upward.

Farmer’s Walk
There’s a reason why the farmer’s walk (or a similar exercise) is a part of almost every strongman meet. Walking around while holding onto heavyweights will not only improve your strength but will also help in putting on muscle mass.
Set a one-minute timer and grab the heaviest pair of dumbbells you can find. You can add variations to the farmer’s walk by using a barbell or weight plates in place of the dumbbells.
Bench Press
The bench press is one of the best exercises to improve your pushing strength. The exercise can also help in developing your pectoral muscle size. With all the exercises listed in the article, your priority should be to learn the correct form of doing them rather than going after the heavier weights.
Keep your elbows pointing inwards while performing the bench press to reduce the chances of an injury. Most people expose themselves to a pec or shoulder blade tear by flaring out their elbows too wide.

Rack Pulls
The rack pulls are an incredibly effective but underutilized lift. The rack pulls are a modified version of the deadlifts where the bottom half of the movement is omitted. Lifting the barbell with a limited range of motion will put all the tension on your lats and will help in building strength.
While performing the exercise, most people make the mistake of bouncing the barbell off the rack. By using the momentum you’re leaving gains on the table by reducing the already limited range of motion of the lift.
Squats
Squats shouldn’t come as a surprise on this list. The big 3’s – deadlifts, bench press, and squats – are the compound exercises you shouldn’t skip at any cost if your goal is to build strength and muscle mass.
If you’re a beginner, start by performing easier versions of the exercises like the smith machine squats or dumbbell deadlifts and gradually progress onto the advanced versions with heavier weights.

Best On The Planet – Necks Which Will Make Your Head Turn

Best On The Planet – Necks Which Will Make Your Head Turn

The Biggest Necks In The Bodybuilding World
For most people, muscle building starts from the shoulders down. Ask yourself, when was the last time you saw someone train their neck in the gym? And also, when was the last time you trained your neck?
While many bodybuilders would easily give up their necks for bigger traps, some are keeping alive the tradition of symmetry. Looking at these necks should inspire you to turn your toothpick neck into tree trunks.
Jeff King

If Jeff King were to ever get in a fight, he wouldn’t have to worry about someone “breaking his neck.” Jeff King looks like Jim Carrey entered bodybuilding. All the jokes aside, Jeff has one of the biggest and meanest necks of all time.

Julian Smith

With his 1.3 million followers, Julian Smith is doing his part in helping bring back the importance of symmetry by urging his fans to train their necks. Smith shows that building and maintaining a thick neck doesn’t take as much work as some people think it does.
Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnie brought the concept of muscle composition into the limelight. According to the Governator, the size of one’s neck should be the same as his arms. As we know, Arnold isn’t someone who doesn’t walk his talk.
Markus Rühl

Markus Rühl is another bodybuilder who joins the list of people with the freakiest necks. At the age of 18, Markus sustained a knee injury while playing football after which he started weight training on his doctor’s recommendation to recover faster.
Flex Lewis

James “Flex” Lewis is one of the few bodybuilders who don’t have any weaknesses. He was the 7X undisputed 212 Mr. Olympia champion before announcing his retirement from the division. We might soon get to see him compete in the open division.

Johnnie Jackson

Johnnie Jackson is a Mr. Olympia contestant who has his roots in the powerlifting world. Jackson has been crowned as the world’s strongest bodybuilder. Branch Warren is Johnnie’s training partner and their workouts are a sight to be seen.
Ronnie Coleman

Ronnie Coleman is the “The King of Bodybuilding”. He pushed the boundaries of the human form with his monstrous size. Back in the day, Ronnie would easily dwarf his competition on stage.
Frank McGrath

McGrath is famous for his signature muscular and vascular thickness, volume, and clarity. Thanks to his crazy forearms and neck, McGrath can be found as a gym mural in gyms throughout the world.
Larry Wheels

Lifting heavy weights can give you bigger shoulders, traps, and neck. Many powerlifters, weight lifters, and strongmen have huge necks as they train with heavier weights. Larry Wheels is a cross between a bodybuilder and a powerlifter.
John Cena

Yes, you read it right, John Cena has a place on this list. We feel Cena doesn’t receive enough credit for his physique. John started as a bodybuilder and has inspired millions of people to get in shape.

8 Best Triceps Exercises

8 Best Triceps Exercises

The Best Exercises For Building Triceps
The triceps are right behind the biceps, but sadly, they get close to the same love as the pythons. Unlike what many people think, building solid horseshoe triceps requires more than doing a few cable extensions.
Your triceps consist of three heads – outer, inner and medial. While the overhead tricep exercises work the inner (longer) head, the push/pressdowns train the outer (shorter) and medial heads. You need to maintain a balance between the exercises to ensure the overall development of your triceps.
Barbell Skullcrushers

Barbell skullcrushers are one of the most effective and underutilized tricep exercises. If you’re a beginner, you should perform the exercise with a spotter. Lie down on a flat bench and grab a barbell with both your hands at shoulder-width.
Extend your arms so they are perpendicular to the floor. While keeping your elbows and upper arms locked in position, lower the bar by flexing at your elbows so the barbell is a couple of inches away from your head. Return to the starting position and repeat for the recommended reps.
Dumbbell Kickbacks

While performing the dumbbell kickbacks your upper body should be at a 60-degree angle with the floor. Grab a pair of dumbbells and get into position by lifting your shoulder slightly and pulling back your elbows.
While keeping your elbow locked in place, bring the dumbbells close to your chest. When the dumbbells are a few inches away from your pecs, push back the dumbbell until your arms are fully extended.
Rope Overhead Cable Extensions
The rope overhead cable extensions work the inner tricep head which can be a stubborn muscle for most people. Place the pully machine at waist height and maintain a full range of motion while performing the exercise.

V-Bar Cable Extensions
Performing the V-bar cable extensions instead of the straight bar can put more emphasis on your outer and medial deltoids. Many people make the mistake of leaning onto the bar while performing the lift. Doing so can recruit secondary muscles and take off tension from your triceps.
Dips
Depending on your stage, you could perform bench or parallel bar dips to bring up the volume in your triceps. You could take your gains to the next level by using additional resistance.
Single-Arm Overhead Dumbbell Extensions
The single-arm overhead dumbbell extensions can take some time to master. While performing the lift, make sure the dumbbell is close to the back of your head at the bottom of the movement and you squeeze the life out of your tris at the top of the ROM.
Close-Grip Smith Machine Bench Press
While many people do perform the close-grip barbell bench press in their tricep training, they leave a lot of gains on the table as they aren’t able to target the tris optimally. The Smith machine close-grip bench press turns the compound movement into isolation lift and keeps your pecs from coming into action.
Reverse Grip Cable Extensions
The reverse grip cable extensions excel at helping you “push-back” your triceps while you’re contracting the muscles at the bottom of the movement. Make the reverse extensions a part of your exercise arsenal if you want your tris to pop.

The 10 Best Bodybuilding Exercises Of All Time

The 10 Best Bodybuilding Exercises Of All Time

The 10 Best Exercises You Can Do
Some lifts are better than the others at giving you the results you have been working for. The exercises we’ll be sharing with you have passed the test of time and have proved their mettle.
In this article, we’ll give you a mix of compound and isolation exercises which can put your muscles gain on the fast track. We’ll list out at least one exercise for each muscle group which, according to us, is the best.

Make these lifts a part of your workout arsenal, and the results will speak for themselves.
Bench Press
The bench press is probably one of the first exercises taught to a beginner and for good reasons. Since the bench press is a compound exercise, it can help in building your core strength, muscle stabilizers along with your chest.
Deadlifts

Deadlifts are one of the most bad-ass exercises. The deadlifts can help in building a strong foundation as they work almost your entire body. Getting your form right in the beginning is critical to getting the most out of the lift.
Machine Preacher Curls
Most people join a gym to build some killer guns. The machine preacher curls are an isolation exercise which works the peak of your biceps. If you don’t have a machine preacher bench in your gym, you can use a normal preacher bench combined with a low pulley machine.
Single-Arm Overhead Tricep Extensions
The long head of the triceps is arguably the hardest part to train and develop. Overhead exercises like the single-arm dumbbell overhead tricep extensions with a controlled movement can help you effectively target the muscle group.
Barbell Curls
Most people make the mistake of using momentum by swinging back and forth while performing the barbell curls. Maintain a strict form with an upright torso to make sure you don’t leave any gains on the table. You could also use an EZ bar if the straight barbell is too harsh on your joints.
Arnold Presses
The Arnold presses were invented by the GOAT, Arnold Schwarzenegger. The Arnold presses train the majority of your shoulder. It trains the two out of three shoulder heads i.e. the anterior and medial deltoids.
Cable Flyes
The interior pectoral muscles can be hard to train and develop using the compound exercises. Cable flyes do a great job of isolating and annihilating your pecs and help in building the conditioning and striations in your chest.
Dumbbell Shrugs
The dumbbell shrugs are one of the easiest exercises to perform, and yet many people do them incorrectly as they let their egos get the better of them. Using dumbbells instead of the barbell gives you more leverage and range of motion which can help in better targeting your shoulders.
Standing Calf Raises
Calves are one of the most overlooked muscles groups. The calves are made up of two muscles, gastrocnemius and soleus. The standing calf raises can be performed on a calf machine or a smith machine and targets the gastrocnemius.
Squats
Did you think we were going to leave out the squat from the list? Could not happen in a century. The squats are the king of all exercises and help in building your legs, core, and overall strength.

The Best Pre and Post Workout Meals You Can Possibly Eat

The Best Pre and Post Workout Meals You Can Possibly Eat

Eat This Before and After Your Workout
There is no way you can build muscles mass if you’re not eating right before and after your workout. Many people don’t understand the fact that they break down muscle tissue in the gym and their muscles grow bigger and stronger while they’re outside the iron paradise.
What you eat pre and post-workout acts as the fuel for your body and determines the fate and size of your muscles. If you have been struggling with your pre and post-training nutrition, this article is for you.
First Things First

Before you decide on what you should eat pre and post-workout, you need to make sure it is in line with your diet plan. The before and after-training meals should not only give you a burst of energy but should also add to your daily nutrition goal.
Your pre-workout meal should have high carbs, and moderate proteins and fats as your muscles will need the glucose for energy which can be derived from breaking down carbohydrates in the body.

The post-workout meal should be high in protein, moderate in carbs and restrictive in fat content if your primary goal is to build muscle mass. Consuming fats right after your workouts can slow down the absorption of protein by your muscles and you might end up leaving a lot of gains on the table.

The Perfect Pre-Workout Meal
2 Egg Whites, 1 Whole Egg, 2 Slices of Whole Wheat Bread with Black Coffee (or a Pre-Workout Supplement) – 226 Calories 28g Carbs 18.9g Protein 6.2g Fats
You need to remember that you need to eat your pre-workout meal at least 45-minutes before your workout. Eating your meal too close to your workout can be worse than not eating at all.
In your pre-workout meal, you’ll be eating two egg whites and a whole egg. You have a choice of consuming the eggs boiled or as an omelet. Along with the eggs, you’ll be eating two slices of bread. You can also include green vegetables like broccoli or salad in this meal.
If you’re someone who likes to drink a pre-workout supplement before a training session, you should be doing it after eating the meal. You don’t need to fret if you don’t have the extra dollars for the pre-workout drink. A cup of black coffee should do the trick.
The Best Post-Workout Meal

Whey Protein Shake, 100g Chicken Breast, and Half Cup Rice – 398 Calories 27.5g Carbs 56.2g Protein 5.8g Fats

You’ll be having your post-workout meal in two shifts. You’ll have your post-workout whey protein shake right after you finish your weight training. We also recommend you do a HIIT cardio session after drinking your protein shake.
After completing your cardio session, wait for ten-minutes before eating the remainder of your post-training meal. The good old chicken breast and rice have been a bodybuilder favorite for a long time.
By following the aforementioned diet, you can rest assured your muscles are properly fed and the groundwork has been laid for optimal muscle gain.

When you look at this picture, what comes to mind? Hard work? Genetics? Steroids? One thing I Suggest you NEVER do is discount how much work went into creating something. You have NO idea the amount of time, pain, discipline, and obsession went into creating this physique. Most people will fail in life because they discount the amount of time and work it’s going to take to get accomplish their goal, so when it gets hard they crumble like dry leaves. Whatever you think it took, multiple that by 20. And the next goal you set out to crush, multiply your expectation by 100 and hope it’s even harder. Never ask for it to be easy. Ask for you to be better. Im grateful for my pain, im grateful for my struggles, they made the man I am and will continue to push harder than most people ever conceive because I’ve been dark places most people aren’t willing to go. What struggles are you grateful for? #YouCantDoWhatIDo #mi40gym #muscleintelligence #mi40 #benpakulski #mi40life
