Tri Time

When you really want the backs of your arms to pop out of your shirt sleeves in a mound of gnarly muscle mass, you need Dr. Mike Israetel’s top five triceps exercises for massive horseshoe triceps.

Now, before we get into it, some of these are size, age, or mobility restricted. The irony of getting huge arms means you can’t always do things like overhead triceps extensions or skull-crushers after you achieve them. Until you get to that point, please don’t ignore these staple movements. You’ll also want to pay close attention to the JM press, which might just be one of the most underappreciated moves you’ll ever come across.

Wrangle yourself some better triceps, cowboy up, and get yourself the luckiest charms of all: massive arms.

Power to the Lifters

Magnesium is a popular supplement for its deep sleep-inducing properties, but this little electrolyte is more than just a drowsy companion. It’s also a powerful micronutrient that aids in energy production, which can be invaluable if you’re looking to give your workouts a boost. 

Here’s the problem: Over 50% of Americans don’t get enough magnesium. While you can supplement it, you can also simply eat foods high in magnesium to keep the energy (and your gains) flowing. 

In the article below, you’ll find nine foods that’ll take you over the magnesium hump. Lucky for you, these foods are also A.) affordable and B.) delicious. (Unless you hate apples, nuts, whole grains, and salmon.) 

World Records

A Mighty Pull

Former World’s Strongest Man Mitch Hooper has made no bones about his desire to possess the deadlift world record for his very own. So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that he officially announced his intentions to attempt to pull 505kg at the World Deadlift Championships in Birmingham.

The September 6 date allows Hooper to work around other important competitions on the strongman’s calendar, including next month’s World’s Strongest Man, while still giving him time to peak properly. As we build up to the potentially Earth-shattering record, stay tuned to Hooper’s training to gauge his chances of coming out on top.
