Total-Body Exercises | Men's Health
Total-Body Exercises | Men's Health: "F IT WEREN'T FOR MIRRORS AND WOMEN, MANY men wouldn't bother building muscle. But for all their bench presses and biceps curls, few guys see consistent results. The reason: all those bench presses and biceps curls. "To stimulate new growth, you need to mix things up every 4 to 6 weeks," says Jeremy Frisch, U.S.A.W., owner of Achieve Performance Training."

Pocket : Build Stronger Shoulders with This Exercise
Pocket : Build Stronger Shoulders with This Exercise: "If the overhead barbell shrug isn't part of your exercise library, it should be—starting today. That's because this movement might just save your shoulders.
You see, the classic barbell shoulder shrug targets two muscles: (1) Your upper traps, which rotate your shoulder blades upward; and (2) your levator scapulae (the rope-like muscles that run down the back of your neck), which rotate your shoulder blades downward."

PUSHUP CHALLENGE | My Men's Health
PUSHUP CHALLENGE | My Men's Health: "It might surprise you to know that the pushup wasn’t invented in the U.S. We can’t say for sure, but we’re guessing it comes from India, since it’s really a classic yoga exercise. And it’s not the only version of the pushup that comes form foreign soil. Strength coach Martin Rooney traveled the world and found all “new” variations, including the knee-to-opposite elbow pushup (Thailand), the triangle pushup (Brazil), the uchi mata pushup (Japan), and the staggered hands, single-leg pushup (England). You can see them all in the video, but better yet, take Rooney’s pushup challenge for a workout that’ll blast your upper body."

Pocket : New drug mimics the beneficial effects of exercise
Pocket : New drug mimics the beneficial effects of exercise: "A drug known as SR9009, which is currently under development at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI), increases the level of metabolic activity in skeletal muscles of mice. Treated mice become lean, develop larger muscles and can run much longer distances simply by taking SR9009, which mimics the effects of aerobic exercise. If similar effects can be obtained in people, the reversal of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and perhaps Type-II diabetes might be the very welcome result."

Straighten your arms and lower your shoulders so your butt comes off the floor. Lift and extend your legs straight out in front of you. Hold. Oh, and keep your back straight as you do this"

Pocket : Get Stronger Instantly: "Get powerful mitts and increase your strength with these grip-challenging dumbbell handles
Old-school dumbbells boasted thick, meaty handles. Today, however, the handles are only about an inch in diameter. The same goes for barbells. Unfortunately, that's not much of a challenge to your grip. A heftier handle pries open your fingers, challenging the muscles in your hand and forearm, and increasing your grip strength. The stronger your grip, the more you can lift and the longer you can hold it."

Doing 100 kettlebell swings in a row is tough.
Doing them on one leg at a time—as this month's challenge, the kettlebell spider swing, requires—will light your muscles on fire and strain your willpower.
