👀 A simple study has shown that by even having just the presence of a spotter, your total reps and weight lifted can be significantly greater. 👀

Do you use a spotter? Do you think they make you lift better?💪

😜🤪 A weird study showed that placing your tongue on the roof of your mouth significantly increases knee flexion peak torque by up to 30%. Suggested reason is that the tongue might be linked to a CNS path referable to phasic activity. 🤪😜

Give it a go next leg workout and let us know if it worked for you!

Also be sure to have Alien Supps Plant Protein post workout, to speed up that recovery 💪

A study has found eating slower can help avoid overeating that leads to weight gain.
This is because it takes up to 20 minutes for the brain to recognise that you are full. 🥞🍗🥗

💚 Even if you do eat a lot, ensure you are hitting all your vitamin and mineral requirements by taking just one scoop of Alien Supps Greens! 💚

💪 Want Bigger Arms? 💪

An experiment that used two groups:
1. (Same Day): That did bicep curls and bike cycling for 30 mins straight after training
and
2. (Different Day): That did bicep curls and did the bike cycling on a different day.

Difference between the bicep sizes after 8 weeks was 7.1% in favour of different day.

Either way if you do weight/cardio training on the same day, add in Alien Supps Plant Protein post workout to ensure optimal recovery!
