  • Lower Back Strength Training: Training Myths, Best Exercises, and How to Build a Bulletproof Spine
    by vkim
    Your squat feels strong, but it’s turning into a good morning. Your deadlift falls apart because you’re losing position, or your bentover row becomes a hybrid upright row-and-shrug because your lower back says no. Sound familiar? Many jump to the same conclusion: “My lower back is weak.” Sometimes that’s true, but more often the issue […]

    Cesar Ruiz is making sure to tap into the very best training methods available while eying up the 2026 season. And, as the 2020 first-round NFL draft pick explains to M&F, he’s added Artificial Intelligence to his already impressive program of prep. The 6’4” offensive lineman’s desire to build the best version of himself was […]
  • Wesko Built His Country Music Career the Same Way He Builds Muscle: Through Relentless Work
    by vkim
    Success stories often sound glamorous in hindsight. Record deals, sold-out crowds, streaming milestones, and life in Nashville create the impression that artists simply arrive at their destination overnight. For country artist Wesko, the reality has been far less glamorous and far more inspiring. Long before he was performing on stages across the country, Wesko was […]
  • Arnold Schwarzenegger Debunks the Biggest Fitness Myth: Muscle Does Not Turn Into Fat
    by vkim
    As a bodybuilding legend, cinematic icon, and owner of the Pump Club fitness app, Arnold Schwarzenegger is inundated on a wide range of health topics. But one question that the Last Action Hero says he is asked, time and time again, concerns whether lean mass can convert to unwanted weight. “Your muscle didn’t turn to […]
  • Ryan Rozicki Reveals His Knockout Strategy Ahead of Chris Billam-Smith Clash at Zuffa Boxing 7
    by vkim
    Ryan “The Bruiser” Rozicki is set for his first clash outside of Canada when he takes on the former WBO Cruiserweight champ, Chris Billam-Smith in the main event of Zuffa Boxing 07 in Bournemouth, England. But despite The Bruiser’s reputation as an old-school scrapper, he’s mixing rugged workouts with a smart boxing strategy designed to […]
  • The supplements older adults actually need and the ones they don't
    Supplements are often marketed as shortcuts to better health, but for many older adults, the real issue is whether they have a specific deficiency. Vitamins like B12 and D can play an important role when levels are low, while protein may be one of the most overlooked nutrients for maintaining strength and independence. More isn’t […]
  • The biggest collagen study yet reveals what actually works
    A major review of nearly 8,000 participants found that collagen supplements can improve skin health and ease osteoarthritis symptoms, especially when taken consistently over longer periods. Researchers also found modest benefits for muscle and tendon health. But the results challenge claims that collagen enhances sports performance, as it showed little effect on recovery or post-workout […]
  • This new diabetes pill burns fat without the downsides of Ozempic
    Scientists have developed an experimental diabetes and obesity pill that works in a completely different way from drugs like Ozempic. Rather than reducing hunger, it activates metabolism in skeletal muscle, helping lower blood sugar and increase fat burning while preserving muscle mass. Early clinical results suggest the treatment is safe and well tolerated.
  • One fat helped pancreatic cancer grow while another cut disease in half
    A surprising new study suggests that when it comes to pancreatic cancer, the kind of fat you eat may matter more than how much. Researchers found that oleic acid—the main fat in olive oil and several other common foods—sped up tumor growth in mice predisposed to pancreatic cancer, while omega-3-rich fats from fish oil dramatically […]
  • Intermittent fasting triggers surprising changes in the brain
    Losing weight may involve rewiring the gut and the brain at the same time. In a study of obese adults, an intermittent fasting-style diet led to significant weight loss, healthier metabolic markers, and notable shifts in gut bacteria. Brain scans also revealed changes in regions tied to appetite, cravings, and self-control. The results suggest the […]

  • Human organoids reveal how to reverse “irreversible” nerve damage
    Cambridge researchers created miniature brain-and-spinal-cord systems in the lab that can send signals and even trigger tiny muscle contractions. They discovered that human neurons gradually lose their ability to regrow after damage during development — but that ability can potentially be switched back on. The team identified a gene network controlling this process and found […]
  • Scientists create supercharged vitamin K that helps the brain heal itself
    Scientists in Japan have created powerful new vitamin K-based compounds that may help the brain regenerate lost neurons — a breakthrough that could one day change how diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are treated. By combining vitamin K with components related to vitamin A, the researchers developed compounds that were about three times more effective […]
  • Scientists discover simple way to relieve arthritis pain without pills or surgery
    A surprisingly simple walking tweak may offer new hope for millions living with knee osteoarthritis. In a year-long clinical trial, researchers found that slightly changing the angle of a person’s foot while walking reduced knee pain as effectively as common medications — and even slowed cartilage damage inside the joint.
  • Breakthrough drug reverses aging in skin and dramatically speeds healing
    Scientists have discovered that a topical anti-aging drug called ABT-263 can dramatically improve wound healing in older skin. The treatment works by removing damaged “senescent” cells that accumulate with age and slow the body’s repair process. In aged mice, wounds healed much faster after treatment, while the drug also activated genes tied to collagen production […]
