The front rope shoulder raise is a great exercise which can replace front dumbbell or barbell raises during your shoulder workout. Always make sure to perform it in a slow controlled motion, and you’ll feel it. I don’t think I would ever stick to only this exercise in terms of front raise shoulder exercises, but its nice to throw in now and again.

Today’s exercise of the day is the “front barbell raise” which is a great exercise for shoulders. I suggest doing this exercise with maybe only 2 or 3 other shoulder exercises for a full shoulder workout (such as military press, side lifts, and shrugs). Continue reading after the video for full instructions.

Continuing with the quick and convenient home workout segment, today I’m going run through a crazy arm workout, you should really be pushing yourself to the max in terms of how much weight you are using and how tired your arms get. Coincidentally enough, this follows the push/pull method we here at yogymbo have been so fond of recently. All you need is a set of dumbbells to do this workout, but having a barbell with some weights would also be helpful. It involves six exercises, three bicep and three tricep. You do one set of every exercise, and then repeat as many times as you’re comfortable with, two more times is a pretty good number. View More…

As the weather gets nicer in this neck of the woods, golf can become a predominant activity around here, so I figured I’d write a little piece on what exercises one can do to help improve their game.

Because golfing involves a twisting motion, using the hips, abs, lower back etc, you should really focus on exercising, and strengthening your core. A strong core will help keep your swing steady, consistent, and stronger.

Some other great core workouts are: The Ab Boot Camp, The Champion Workout, and the Plank Workout.

Its also very important to be flexible, as a golf swing can really utilize your entire body. Below is a video of a good golf swing that can help anyone looking for a few pointers.

Most of the posts we’ve written about exercises and workouts have been written under the assumption that everyone has the time and the desire to spend an hour(s) in the gym four to five times a week. I’ve been spending a lot of time with family friends lately, what with graduation parties and everything, and somehow we would always start talking about working out and how they didn’t have the time or the energy to spend hours in the gym everyday. That being the case, I figured I’d write a short little series of articles about how you can get a good workout in the comfort of your own home with limited equipment. I’ll do a short workout for a different body part in each article and at the end you can mix and match and make it as long/short as you like. View More…

Firstly, I’d like to apologize for our recent lack of updates. Jimbo and I just graduated, and have had to get a lot of stuff in order. We’ve also been hard at work preparing a sub-blog you’ll hear more about soon.

Anyway, today’s video exercise of the day, is the reverse barbell curl. This is a great exercise to mix up your bicep workout. It really focuses on the side of your arm (your bicep being the top, and triceps being the bottom) and hits muscle fibers which most other bicep exercises do not.

I was at hanging out with some family friends the other day and my friend’s dad found out about yogymbo, so of course we started talking about working out. We were going back and forth about exercises and supplements when he mentioned something that really caught me by surprise, he was talking about how much more energy he has and what a better workout he has if he takes some sort of bee pollen product beforehand. I had never heard of this, so initially I thought it might have just been mind over matter or a sugar high or something, but I did a little research and this stuff might just be the real deal.

Heres a new series I’ll be writing about fast food. I don’t know about you, but I’m a guy, and even though I workout and lift weights, and try to be careful with what I eat, I still love the occasional fast food meal.

Whenever I go out to eat, I always wonder what item on the menu has the most protein. It may be neurotic, but considering I’m always trying to consume more protein, its consistently on my mind. Getting a meal at a fast food restaurant, I generally assumed it was such complete crap that there wasn’t really much protein. Well, I was dead wrong.

In this article I’ll highlight the highest protein meals in each category (burgers, sides etc.) which the fast food chain offers.

This week I’m starting with Burger King, because the King is awesome. Continue reading for the stats! View More…

Today’s exercise of the day is upright rows. Its a great exercise which focuses on the trapezius muscle. I like to do this instead of shrugs now and again. Watch the video below for a quick demonstration, and find more comprehensive instructions following.
