𝙿𝚘𝚠𝚎𝚛 𝚈𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝙳𝚊𝚢

𝙿𝚘𝚠𝚎𝚛 𝚈𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝙳𝚊𝚢 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝙺𝚘𝚍𝚒𝚊𝚔 My day is always unpredictable, the only thing that’s certain is the feeling that my head might explode 🤯 Well that and the fact each morning I start my day with @kodiakcakes 🐻 Can’t forget the coffee either ☕️ I typically use the mix to make flapjacks or waffles 🥞 or 🧇 They taste absolutely incredible 😋 With 💯% whole grains, and 14g of protein per serving (that’s before I add the skim 🥛), they’re incredibly nutritious as well 😏 The best part is my whole family LOVES them 👨‍👩‍👦+🐶 Honestly, it’s the one meal we all agree on 🍽 The rest of the day I’m running around the kitchen like short-order cook while my family recites a menu to me 👨🏻‍🍳 I’m guessing that probably helps contribute to the whole head explosion thing 😆 But I love my family with all my heart and I’m sure you do as well ☺️ So, if you’re the household chef, like me, and want a nutritious breakfast everyone can agree on, give @kodiakcakes a try 👍 At least that’s it’s one meal that everyone will love ❤️ When it comes to lunch and dinner though, well, I’m still working on that 🙃 Coach Cortezzo out 👊 Are you on team flapjack or team waffle?

𝙷𝚊𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙸𝚝 𝚆

𝙷𝚊𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝙸𝚝 𝚆𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝙺𝙰𝚉 Hammer curls are one of the best exercises to pack mass on the gunz 💪 Although the biceps are heavily recruited during this variation, so are the brachialis and brachioradialis 😏 You’re not just targeting the biceps, underneath the biceps and forearms are getting worked to the max 🥵 Because stronger muscles are recruited to a higher degree, you can typically lift more weight performing a hammer curl than a standard supinated curl 👍 The problem is traditional dumbbell hammer curls are often associated with tendinitis 🤨 This can stem from overloading, over gripping, but most commonly poor alignment and mechanics 🧐 Everyone has a carrying angle, typically 5-15 degrees away from the body 📐 Performing exercises, such as curls, with poor alignment can lead to overuse injuries 🤕 Hammer curls can be done unilaterally, shifting the body so the shoulder, elbow and wrist are aligned 🤔 But this option never felt comfortable to me 🙁 I love cables because of the constant resistance and how it aligns with the body mechanics 😁 Hooking up a rope though, eh…not so much 🙈 Using a rope will cause some internal rotation at the shoulder, not to mention reduce the range of motion significantly 👨🏻‍🏫 Is there no hope whatsoever 😫 Thankfully there are alternatives to solve all these issues and optimize the exercise 🙂 Instead of using a regular rope, single ropes are a fine choice, either alternating or concurrently on a dual adjustable cable machine 🪢 However, my favorite way to perform hammer curls is using the KAZ handles from @primefitnessusa 🤩 The tapered wide grip handle matches the natural mechanics of the hand, enabling maximum efficiency during use 🤯 @coach_kassem helped with the design, and he’s super smart and mad cool 👨🏻‍🎓+😎 Try out these tips to get most from your hammer curls, and if you have a chance, give the KAZ handles a go ✅ Now let’s make some GAINZ 💪 Coach Cortezzo out What’s your favorite exercise to target the biceps?

𝚃𝚘𝚖𝚊𝚝𝚘𝚎𝚜: 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙵𝚛𝚞𝚒𝚝 𝙸 𝙷𝚊𝚝𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝙻𝚘𝚟𝚎 I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with tomatoes 🤬+❤️ Before I go any further, yes, tomatoes are botanically considered a fruit, even though they’re often eaten a prepared like a vegetable 🍅 Let’s get back to me though 🙋🏻‍♂️ Here’s the thing, I HATE tomatoes…and I LOVE tomatoes 😆 Let me explain; raw tomatoes are not my thing, just don’t like the taste 🤢 However, sauté them with some salt and pepper and I’ll put them on almost anything 😋 Fresh from the garden ❌ Tomato sauce ✅ I’m glad I found ways to enjoy them since tomatoes are really a superfood 🦸‍♂️ They are nutrient-dense, packed with vitamins, carotenoids, and phenolic compounds 👍 When discussing tomatoes, lycopene is usually the first thing mentioned; but why 🤷🏻‍♂️ This antioxidant has been linked to several health benefits including: protecting the body from damage associated with free radical stress, improving eyesight, and reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer 🤯 Tomatoes are also a great source of potassium, folate, vitamin C and vitamin K 😏 So, let’s celebrate the tomato and all of its goodness 🥳 Speaking of which, it’s time for me to have some right now; sautéed with spinach and eggs 👨🏻‍🍳👉🍅+🍃+🍳 Coach Cortezzo out 👊 What’s your favorite way to enjoy tomatoes? Do you have a crazy love/hate relationship with them as well? Holla at your boy👇

𝚃𝚎𝚡-𝙼𝚎𝚡 𝙴𝚐𝚐 𝙱𝚒𝚝𝚎𝚜 By know you know I LOVE egg bites 🥚=❤️ They’re incredibly nutritious, have endless combinations, and can be stored for days ✅ For these reasons and several more they are perfect in many ways…wait a second, that rhymes 🎶 Anyway, here’s the thing; Little Lou is not exactly a fan of eggs 🤨 Instead, he’s obsessed with Mexican food 🌮 It got me thinking; how can I incorporate his love for tacos into egg bites 🤔 After a little test batch, and a BIG mess, the Tex-Mex Egg Bite was complete 😁 Here’s what I did:
1️⃣ In a skillet, brown 6 oz of ground beef with favorite taco season; set aside
2️⃣ Mix 4 whole eggs, ½ cup shredded Mexican style cheese, ½ cup of favorite salsa in a bowl
3️⃣ Divide the ground beef equally in a 6-cup muffin tin
4️⃣ Pour the egg mixture evenly over the ground beef
5️⃣ Place in a pre-heated oven set at 350°F for 20 minutes
6️⃣ Let cool for 10 minutes then enjoy! Turns out, Little Lou does love eggs after all; when they’re combined with some south of the border flavor 🌶 He did however ask me where’s the shell 😆 Coach Cortezzo out and Little Coach Cortezzo out 👊👊 More healthy recipes and reels coming soon, stay tuned 👀 Do you love egg bites? What’s your favorite combo? Holla at your boy👇

𝚆𝚑𝚢 𝙸’𝚖 𝙸𝚗 𝙻𝚘𝚟𝚎

𝚄𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙲𝚞𝚛𝚟𝚎 In order to maximize hypertrophy gains, a muscle should be trained in close proximity to failure 👍 The problem is some individuals have a large discrepancy between the lengthened and shortened positions 😏 I’m refereeing to the strength curve and how it impacts certain lifts 🏋️ Let’s look at a dumbbell row, for example 🧐 Everyone is strong in the lengthened position, even my mother 💁🏻‍♀️ It’s the shortened position that most trainees are incredibly weak 🤨 What you’ll often see as a result will be some gym bro with a heavy dumbbell using momentum on every rep or negating the top half of the exercise completely 🙈 Strength imbalances within the curve are not the only consideration, injury prevention plays a major role as well 🤕 Preacher curls are an excellent exercise; however, they place an enormous amount of stress on the bicep tendon 😒 Considering the risk vs reward perspective, I typically choose to exclude all free weight variations from both my routine and also my clients ❌ However, advancements in technology has enabled us to manipulate strength curves and overload different portions of exercises 😲 Currently, I consider @primefitnessusa to be the leader in this category with their SmartStrength technology 🥇 Their machines allow you to place a greater load where you’re strongest, and compensate for weaker portions of the lift 🤯 As a result, it enables the user to reach true failure throughout the entire range of motion 🥵 Not only does this increase efficiency, but safety as well ✅ Time for me to get back to doing another set of PRIME Arm Curls and wreck my biceps without WRECKING my biceps 😆💪 Coach Cortezzo out 👊 Have you tried PRIME SmartStrength machines? What are your thoughts? Holla at your boy👇
