Fitness Tip of the Week:
"Never use an 'E-Z Curl' bar for training biceps.
Whenever you do curls, your wrists should be supinated, (turned out), as far as possible. If you use an E-Z bar, it pronates, (turns in), your wrists. With the wrists turned in, you can't completely contract the biceps.
You can illustrate this point with a little experiment: Contract your right bicep, or "make a muscle", as they say. Put the fingertips of your left hand on the top of your right bicep. Now, turn your right wrist so you are looking at the back of your right hand. Your bicep went slack, didn't it? Now, rotate you wrist the other way . . . so your little finger is the closest part of your hand to your face. The bicep gets REAL hard. That's a fully contracted bicep!
The E-Z bar, places your hands and wrists in a position that makes it impossible to fully contract your biceps . . . a semi-pronated position. Not too efficient for building biceps, is it? Therefore, a straight bar is just the ticket for doing curls. The key is, that you need to squeeze that straight bar like it's your little brother's neck right after he used your favorite shirt to clean the spokes of his bike!
Squeezing the bar is always a good idea because it will enhance grip strength as well as forearm development, but for curls, it is even more imperative that you squeeze. If you let your grip loosen up, you'll pronate your hands . . . then, you might as well be using the E-Z bar!
The name "E-Z Curl" bar should've been a tip-off. You never want to make an exercise easier . . . you want to make it harder. That's to say, make the target muscle work harder. E-Z bars are great for tricep work, but that's another TIP!" Submitted by Mark L.

Food Tip of the Week:
"A good breakfast I like to make to help keep me in shape is 2 packs of sugar free instant maple and brown sugar mixed with a few scoops of peanutbutter and some sugar free maple syrup. This breakfast is nutritious, taste about like a no bake cookie, and the best part is it's sugar free" Submitted by Brooke H.
