WEEKLY WORKOUT
The juiciest glute pump ever
If you want juicy glutes, this killer lower body workout is for you. Not only does Diana Conforti give you a full glute day workout, but she does a great job of breaking down movement cues, how you should set up your weights and body for each exercise, and explaining why you should and shouldn’t do certain things throughout your lifts.
PRESENTED BY BREZZA:
The future of the protein shake is here
From the makers of Baby Brezza, the new Brezza Supermix Protein Shake Maker uses patent-pending technology to mix the perfect protein shake — no clumps, no effort. Just touch start and enjoy a smooth shake in seconds.
Engineered to work with most protein (whey, plant-based) and shake powders, the Supermix’s revolutionary technology dispenses the exact ratio of powder and water based on your protein’s suggested serving size. It holds over 1lb of powder and 3L of water to make up to 12 shakes before it needs refilling — perfect for at least a week’s work of shakes.
If you're someone who drinks protein + water shakes several times a week (or daily), the Brezza Supermix is built specifically for you. It's not a generalist. It's a routine optimizer. A shaker bottle or blender just can’t compete on convenience, precision, or simplicity for protein shakes. So give your protein shake game some gains, and save 15% when you use code LIFTBX15 through 8/31.

FITNESS FACTS
Fitness Fact of the Week — A recent study published in Sleep Health analyzed nearly 379,000 randomized participants ages 40-69, and found that those with a genetic inclination to nap had larger total brain volumes, equivalent to brains that appeared approximately 2.6 to 6.5 years younger compared to non-nappers. So go ahead, take that post-gym nap. It’ll keep your brain young!
