Single-Leg Lactic Acid Torture

by Zach Trowbridge on October 28, 2024

This is a workout that I started using regularly when I was dealing with a lot of lower back issues – it doesn’t look like much on paper, but it will put your tolerance for lactic acid to the test for sure. It’s also a fairly short workout, coming in at about 45-50 minutes from start to finish.

Stick to a Diet when Traveling

by Zach Trowbridge on August 14, 2024

I recently spent a week out of town staying at an Airbnb and had very limited access to cooking, with a kitchen that just had an electric stovetop, a microwave and a toaster. Take a look at how I stayed on track the whole week by making two stops at grocery stores before going to the rental, as well as what I brought with me in my suitcase.

Sweet Garlic Ginger Beef for Stir Fry

by Zach Trowbridge on August 12, 2024

This is a great way to create a great beef stir fry at home, without a ton of extra sugar and calories. I use 96/4 ground beef, but you could use it on just about any beef or steak cut of your choice.

Exercising Your Right to Bare Arms

by Zach Trowbridge on July 24, 2024

This combo will move both the triceps and biceps into more of a shortened position at the shoulder joint, so all of the emphasis will be on the contraction – you aren’t going to be looking for much of a stretch on either of these movements.

Chipotle Copycat Cilatro-Lime White Rice

by Zach Trowbridge on July 9, 2024

I feel like this one really needs no introduction – this is a super easy way to recreate Chipotle’s Cilantro-Lime White Rice at home, with less oil and the ability to adjust salt intake to your personal preference.
