Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) offer a wide range of benefits, including muscle growth, fat loss, and anti-catabolic effects—but one of their most potent effects is the significant reduction in post-workout soreness.
Taking BCAAs during your workout can help you feel better after your workout. But there are two key factors you need to pay attention to when choosing a BCAA supplement:
✅ Dosage – Olympic strength coach Charles Poliquin recommended a minimum of 20 grams during training, and I agree. Many powders are loaded with artificial sweeteners, so I prefer veggie capsules taken between sets.
✅ Ratio – Many companies push high-leucine blends (3:1:1 or 4:1:1), but a natural 2:1:1 ratio of leucine to isoleucine to valine is ideal. Anything beyond that can disrupt protein synthesis and may even pose long-term health risks.
This video breaks it all down and explains what to look for. It’s a must-watch if you’re using—or considering—BCAAs!

The 70-Degree Incline Swiss Bar Press: A Safer Way to Build Strength
A neutral-grip Swiss bar is shoulder-friendly, but the setup can get awkward fast. Using a 70-degree incline bench keeps the press strong, controlled, and easier to clear without excessive leaning.
Hanging Garhammer Raise
The hanging Garhammer raise puts the lower abs in the spotlight while reducing the hip-flexor takeover common in many hanging leg-raise variations. Start from the floor if needed, then earn the hanging version.
Radial and Ulnar Flexion
Radial and ulnar flexion are not glamorous, but balanced wrists and forearms need more than curls and extensions. These neglected movement patterns deserve periodic programming.
