Turkey Burger Recipe

Image
Turkey Burger Recipe I wouldn't necessarily even call this a recipe. This is just a quick video that gives you an  example of a way to spice up your turkey burger. I use ground turkey all the time. I  actually like plain ground turkey burgers, however by adding a few extra ingredients,  you can make a simple turkey burger taste pretty amazing. Here’s what I do: 1 lb ground turkey 1/2 cup finely minced fresh parsley 1 tbsp garlic powder 1/2-1 finely chopped red/purple onion Mix ingredients and form into patties. I like to make 4- 1/4 lb patties. Enjoy!

Ingredients Explained: Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)

Ingredients Explained: Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) What is CLA? Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a naturally occurring fatty acid in dairy products in certain meats we eat. Sounds great right? Because we all know how delicious and satisfying dairy and meat is. Specifically, CLA is found in the meat and dairy from ruminant animals like cows, sheep, goats, deer and more. These animals produce CLA naturally within their digestive tracks. From there, the CLA makes its way into the meat and milk which we consume. There are many potential benefits associated with CLA consumption. These include antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. CLA can potentially help decrease body fat, specifically in the abdomen. It also may help block the absorption and uptake of fat and sugar into fat cells. Finally, it potentially helps the insulin receptors remain intact, increasing insulin activity, which is why it being studied as a potential treatment and aid for those suffering from diabete

Powerlifting Technique: Deadlift Science

Image
Powerlifting Technique VI: Deadlift Setup Science Of the three powerlifts, the conventional version of the deadlift is by far the simplest both in terms of set-up and execution. Despite this fact, among all three lifts, the deadlift is the lift most commonly misperformed by powerlifters all across the globe. As such, our deadlift analysis, unlike the other lifts, is going to take three phases. First, we need to re-establish the scientific principles that govern proper powerlifting technique specifically as they relate to the deadlift. Second, we’ll analyze deadlift form and derive a model that optimizes the movement for powerlifting. Lastly, we’ll discuss how to actually perform the deadlift correctly. The following article will attempt to establish three very interrelated things: a deadlift should begin with high hips, the front of the shoulders slightly in front of the bar (scapulas directly over the bar), and the bar must be pulled directly over the middle of the foot in a straight

Beetroot Juice Boosts Endurance and Cardiovascular Performance What do you know about beetroot? Some of you may know this vegetable simply as beets, the deep red vegetable that is often used in soups and juices. What you may not know is that beets are a super-rich source of antioxidants, magnesium, potassium and vitamin C. Beets are also a good source of betaine, which is important for cardiovascular health. Beetroot Juice as a Superfood Studies have shown that beets, particularly the juice, is not only an impressive source of potent antioxidants, but it can also have a measurable impact on athletic performance. Specifically, increased stamina during cardiovascular exercise. The University of Exeter research team conducted a study with eight men, all whom were between the ages of 19 and 38. The men were given 500 ml of organic beetroot juice for six consecutive days before completing athletic testing (performed on a stationary bike). On a different occasion, also for six consecutive da

How the Lats Help the Bench Press [Video] - LIFT.net

HOW THE LATS HELP THE BENCH PRESS [VIDEO] Written by Brandon  → 2 Comments Chris Duffin made a video showing how the back, specifically the lats, can actually help press a barbell to lockout on the bench. He mentions one can strengthen the bench press by solely strengthening the lats. This may be a response to an  article written by Mike Israetel , which argued that back work for the bench press was ineffective. There’s a few great ideas in this video, so they are broken down below. “I WILL ARGUE THAT YOU CAN IMPROVE YOUR BENCH WITHOUT BENCH PRESSING HEAVY AND WORKING THE PRESSING MUSCLES, SOLELY BY DEVELOPING THE LATS” At ( 5:47 ) Chris explains how the lats elongate on the barbell descent; but only if the body is setup correctly and in a slight arch. He shows ( 6:42 ) how the elongated lat can contract to help externally rotate the shoulders, as well as drive the bar upward off the chest with the help of the chest/shoulders. Lastly, he makes a short mention on how the lats may also h
