All the Packs

In the age of HD cameras and social media, the hottest summer accessory is a diced-up six-pack around your belly button. You can bemoan it or embrace it, but ripped abs as a fashion statement aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Bodybuilding coach Joe Bennett knows you have to eat right to shed enough fat to see those abdominal muscles, but he also knows that more muscle is always better than less muscle. To that end, he recently dove deep into his favorite single exercise for producing the six-pack of your dreams.

Bennett’s focus is on continuing to promote muscle growth and retention while losing the requisite body weight needed to clearly see the definition the midsection muscles crave. It is unsurprising, then, that he leans heavily toward an exercise that loads and overloads the abs with extra weight.

Keep reading to find out which exercise he champions, along with a full tutorial of the move.

Gains in the Fast Lane

Eating on the road, or just being in a hurry, doesn’t mean you need to make a gas station run to load up on pizza-flavored Combos and all-red packs of Starburst. America’s greatest weaknesses can also be its strengths, with several of the nation’s top fast food chains offering up protein-heavy meal options for the muscle-conscious dieter on the go.

The guide below helps you through the oil-encrusted world of fast food chains to find the protein-laden options hidden behind the 42-ounce sodas. Southerners will rejoice at seeing their favorite chicken establishment’s name high up on the list, heavily touted for its bevy of grilled (not fried) choices of poultry (and even sides of kale). 

Whatever your local fast food place is, there is a way to work the system to get the macros your body needs without running it over with thousands of calories. Keep your diet on point wherever you are with this guide.

Olympics

TSA’s Stiffest Competition

If you are a frequent flier and enjoy buying in bulk, measuring your 3-ounce packages of sunscreen and toothpaste may be a constant pain in your side. In this one specific way, your passive-aggressive battle with the TSA makes you just like Olympic medalist Kate Vibert, who has a surprising item that gets her constantly flagged by the “Division of Security Theatre.”

Vibert told us the story of her struggle in attempting to smuggle her Olympic medal while flying around the country. Theorizing the TSA may think she is carrying a pocket-sized black hole (after all, she was only the fourth American woman to ever medal in weightlifting), Vibert still has trouble getting her favorite piece of metal through security when she tries to bring it along with her on speaking engagements. 

Learn about the unexpected trials and tribulations of being a trendsetter and inspiring figure of sporting excellence, and try not to give the TSA too hard of a time when the next time they eyeball your nail clippers suspiciously.
