With oblique-focused finishers and lower-ab movements designed to smoke your midsection, this quick-hit routine doubles as a final cut before pool season.

[Lift Like the Legend!] | | | | Jay Cutler didn’t just build a chest—he engineered a fortress. His secret weapon? Pyramid sets.

[Build Your Own Chest Dynasty!] | | | | It’s ancient, it’s underrated, and it might be your new post-workout weapon. An expert explores how one lifter swapped protein shakes for an ancient grain—and saw muscle gains explode 4x. The food? Teff, a tiny Ethiopian powerhouse rich in protein, iron, and slow-digesting carbs. It fuels workouts, speeds recovery, and doesn’t come with the digestive baggage of whey. For clean eaters chasing dirty gains, this supergrain is worth a serious look.

Drawing inspiration from greats like Cbum and Derek Lunsford, Sulek is keeping his physique versatile and his plans open-ended. The future of mass with class might just wear Sulek’s name. [See Sam’s Next Move!] | | | | Coach Chris Aceto is stirring the Olympia pot, comparing Derek Lunsford and Nick Walker’s back double biceps while suggesting Hadi Choopan could be “almost a favorite” for the 2025 title.

| | Recovery Tip of the Day: Nap in a Reclined Position, Not Fully Flat | If your post-leg-day soreness has you reaching for the couch, aim for a reclined position—not a full horizontal sprawl. Lying flat can reduce circulation and even mess with your breathing mechanics, especially if you're still riding a caffeine high from your pre-workout. A reclined angle keeps blood flowing, supports your lower back, and helps your nervous system shift into recovery mode faster. Think “business-class nap,” not “crime-scene chalk outline.” | | The Strength Bulletin | |
