Exercises You Should Be Doing: Prone DB Slide
What Is It: Prone DB Slide Who Did I Steal It From: this exercise is very similar to prone plate switches that I “stole” from strength coach Will Heffernan, but I was able to come up with this bad boy myself as I was showing a friend a few exercises at a commercial gym a… Read more
Organic vs. Kind of Organic vs. Wait, I’m Confused.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past decade, you’ve probably noticed that “organics” has been the fasting growing market in our food system for quite some time.
