Bar Position In The Bench Press

In this video, I talk about where to position the barbell in the bench press movement.

There a lot of different variations of the bench press, but some put more strain on the shoulders (especially the rotator cuff). If your main goal is to gain strength, then you will want to make sure you position the bar closer to the bottom of your chest.

This will allow more muscles to be worked, and will help you lift more weight.

You can apply this to your pushups too… just move your hands down, closer to the bottom of your chest, and you will feel that the movement works a lot of different muscles.

This will make the pushups harder, but you can adjust to this by moving your legs in, or even going on your knees. From there, you can steadily progress to a full pushup.

12 Ways to Eat Salsa Without Chips

If you’re anything like me… you LOVE salsa and chips… but we all know that chips aren’t the healthiest. So, here are 12 healthy alternatives to chips, tasty are not, that you can try for yourself! Enjoy!

1. Fennel Anise Bulbs

Fenouil Bulb

These watery bulbs make a great replacement for chips when it comes to enjoying some delicious salsa. They are low in calories, high in potassium, and high in folic acid, which helps maintain healthy blood and a healthy immune system. Their texture is crunchy, and slightly sweet, so this isn’t just a healthy alternative… it’s a tasty one too!

2. Belgium Endive Leaves

Endive Leaves

Crunchy with a slightly bitter taste, endive leaves are a very low-calorie alternative that is a great source of B-Complex Vitamins as well as minerals.

3. Carrots

Carrots

Although carrots are crunchy and healthier than chips, these aren’t the best tasting with salsa in my opinion. However, they are extremely cheap and quick to grab, so that is why carrots made the list.

4. Slices of Bell Peppers

Red Bell Pepper

Bell Peppers, with their tangy taste and crunchy texture, are an excellent alternative to chips. They contain high amounts phytonutrients, which help fight off free radicals. Green and purple peppers tend to be more bitter than red, orange and yellows, which can be sweet and even fruity.

5. Sliced Chicken

Sliced Chicken

Imagine a chicken quesadilla without the tortilla. That’s what your getting with this option (my personal favorite). Chicken is one of the leanest meat sources out there, and packs a lot of protein to help maintain muscle mass and curb your appetite! Although it’s higher in calories than the other options, it is made up by it’s high nutrition value!

6. Romaine

Romaine

Surprisingly enough, romaine is 17% protein, contains more Vitamin A than a carrot, and provides calcium as well as Vitamin K.The closer to the stalk you get, the the crisper the lettuce is and makes for a much better “chip”.
