You Should Feel It Here - Y Raise

If chest supported Y raises mostly hit your neck or upper traps, your setup may be off.
You should mainly feel this in your lower traps + rear delts. Keep your chest on the bench, raise in a wide Y, keep your thumbs up, and don’t shrug.
And like Troy always says: slow and controlled.

🍎 Nutrition Made Simple — Episode 11: What Does 30g of Carbs Look Like?

“30 grams of carbs” sounds simple on paper… but what does that actually look like on your plate?

In Episode 11, we’re making carbs visual with real-food examples so you can better understand portions without overcomplicating nutrition.

🍌 Fruit
🍚 Rice
🥔Potatoes
🥣 Oats
🍞 Bread
🍝 Pasta

The amount of food can look very different depending on fiber, water content, and how processed the food is. That’s why the number alone doesn’t tell the whole story.

The goal isn’t to fear carbs or measure every bite forever. It’s to build better portion awareness and learn how to pair carbs with protein and fiber for meals that support energy, fullness, training, and recovery.

Jack is busting the hype and breaking down what weighted vests can do, what they can’t do, and how to use one intelligently.

🍎 Nutrition Made Simple — Episode 10: Simple Carbs vs. Complex Carbs

Are simple carbs really “bad” and complex carbs always “better”? Not quite.

In Episode 10, we break down the difference between simple and complex carbohydrates in a way that actually makes sense — how quickly they digest, how they affect energy, where fiber fits in, and when each type can be useful.

⚡ Simple carbs: faster digestion + quicker energy
🌾 Complex carbs:slower digestion + steadier energy
🥗 The real goal:choose the right carb for the situation and pair it with protein, fiber, and healthy fats when you can.

Simple carbs can be helpful before workouts, during long activity, or when you need quick fuel. Complex carbs are great for everyday meals when you want more fiber, nutrients, and staying power.

Carbs don’t need to be feared — they need to be understood.

💬 Which do you eat more often: simple carbs or complex carbs?
