20 Tips To Drop 15 Pounds In The Next 30 Days

1. Walk in nature for 30 minutes everyday. This will reduce cortisol levels and burn calories

2. The average American eats 130 pounds of sugar a year. This is equal to 58, 967 skittles. Cut these out.

3. Eat whole eggs every day. Protien and fat together signal leptin, the "I'm full" hormone.

4. Prioritize sleep. Cut out the screens 1 hour before bed, blackout blinds, even turn off the wi-fi at night.

5. Eat steak. Red meat is a health food and is packed full of protein and vitamins.

6. Lift weights 3-5 times per week. Muscle burns calories at rest from an increased metabolism.

7. Cut out booze. This will help you sleep better at night and you'll make better decisions around food.

8. Cut out liquid calories. Easy to consume and they spike insulin levels (the fat promoting hormone)

9. Eat salt. It will give you more energy, increase blood volume, and help you have better sleep.

10. Brush your teeth after dinner. This will help reduce snacking at night.

11. Take cold showers. You'll be forced to breath deeply, helping to oxygenate the body and burn adipose fat.

12. Are you REALLY hungry? Or just tired, thirsty, bored, or stressed? Picture food as a fuel for the machine rather than a dopamine hit.

13. Cut out gluten. Gluten intolerance causes stress to the gut and increases belly fat.

14. Quit watching p**n. This reduces testosterone and decreases drive to have s*x in the real world. High T = lower body fat.

15. Eliminate seed oils. Excess omega 6 causes inflammation and increases belly fat.

16. Write your goal down on a piece of paper and put it on your bathroom mirror where you can see it everyday. Your sub-conscious mind will look for solutions to help you achieve it.

17. Fast. It's ok to feel hunger sometimes. Start with 16 hours of fasting followed by an 8 hour feeding window.

18. Eat more protein. Most guys consume too many carbs and not enough protein. Switch this around.

19. Wake up 30 minutes earlier if you don't have time to workout. Make this your non-negotiable 'ME' time.

20. Embrace the suck. Anything worthwhile is going to be challenging. You can do it!

Thanks for checking out this post, my goal is to provide some value for you.

I want to talk today about shoulder health and hanging slash scapular retractions.

But first, a little back story.

Back in my high school and university football days (many moons ago), I managed to dislocate my shoulder, twice. Being able to touch your knee cap standing up is quite the party trick.

Anyway, I ended up having surgery my 2nd year in uni and had many months of rehab after that. Long story short, my mobility in my left shoulder was noticeably compromised.

It took a few years, but I was able to rehab and strengthen it to a point to where now I have zero problems with that shoulder.

Hanging and scapular retractions are two fantastic exercises to help keep your shoulders strong and mobile.

In my opinion, not hanging as an adult is one of the main reason people have so many elbow, shoulder, neck, and upper back issues.

If you can't hang full bodyweight without pain (or the strength isn't there), put a bench or stool under you to do assisted hangs. Spend 2-3 minutes in the hang position.

Scapular retractions are the next progression from a dead hang and the beginning of a pullup or lat pull down.

Activate the Scapula by squeezing them together and down as you keep your arms straight.

This is both a fantastic mobility exercise on its own and great warm up before performing pullups.

Do 15-20 reps for 2 to 3 sets before an upper body day.

Keep pumpin' 💪

Turkish gets ups build strength, co-ordination, and can be extremely metabolic. The goal is to have your body move under the weight with your arm pointed up through the whole rep.
