Itā€™s one thing to head out to your gym, gather your gym bag, get your towel and water bottle, and make that extended trek in traffic. Itā€™s another thing entirely to have a gym at home. Now, wouldnā€™t that be convenient and save you a ton of headaches?

Weā€™ve got an answer for you, and itā€™s timed perfectly for Memorial Day. This holiday weekend, you can get some dynamite deals on exercise equipment from Force USA. A few highlights include:

  • A killer 45-degree hack squat with 20 percent off

  • An all-in-one training machine marked off 15 percent

  • A half-training rack with $1,000 off (!)

And with the code BARBEND5, youā€™ll get an extra 5 percent off your order! Get shopping below:

Dwayne ā€œThe Rockā€ Johnson has seemingly done it all. He was a college football player for the Miami Hurricanes. Heā€™s one of the biggest superstars in WWE history. And heā€™s now one of the biggest movie stars in every sense of the phrase.

Johnson continues to flourish partly because heā€™s built like a human tank. Now, you might be wondering: How strong is this he? We think weā€™ve figured it out.

Based on sample workouts that he shares all the time and anecdotal legends about the icon, hereā€™s a breakdown of how strong Johnson really is.

From some good old-fashioned bison burgers to tomahawk steaks (we said, ā€œWait, what?ā€ too), here are six high-protein foods you should eat this holiday.
