Moving on up!

Janky shoulders typically don’t handle upward rotation well. If you take someone with a history of shoulder pain, and ask them to throw a barbell overhead, there’s a good chance it’s not going to go well.

Enter the adjustable bench. Most adjustable benches gradually increase by about 15 to 20°. Generally, I like to progress about one notch per month in a post rehab scenario.

Now I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention there are many other considerations here. Total volume, equipment used, grip, pressing vs. reaching, etc. All things to keep in mind, but the adjustable bench is an essential tool when getting back in the strength game.

Try it, and let me know what you think!

I bought a $20 rice cooker more than a decade ago, and it still makes perfect rice. You can use broth, spices and seasonings while cooking too.

I recently started buying whole chickens, and spatchcocking them. They cook in a fraction of the time.

With a rice cooker and a spatchcocked chicken in the oven, you can have a weeks worth of meals with literally 10 minutes of prep work.

It’s crazy easy.

If you don’t enjoy cooking, there are still plenty of great options out there. And even if you love cooking, some nights you don’t want to, and you can “dial it in.”

Either way, have a handful of these go-to options on standby and you’ll be set for life.
