Think Protein Bars Review (2024)

Sep 19, 2024 | barbend.com | Alex Polish |Randall Colburn |Sadie Albert |Nasm Cpt

If we’re being honest — and we’re always honest in our product reviews — I’m not really a protein bar gal. As a certified nutrition coach, I know they can often be more like candy bars than a healthy, protein-packed snack. And hey, nothing wrong with a good candy bar, but if you’re searching for the best protein bars, you’re probably not only looking for a nostalgic bite. With think! High Protein Bars, you’ll get a solid amount of protein along with candy-like nostalgia.

8Greens Review (2024) | BarBend

Jul 31, 2024 | barbend.com | Sadie Albert |Nasm Cpt |Nci Cnc

We receive free products and receive commissions through our links. See disclosures page.

Like the best greens powders out there, 8Greens Super Greens Powder offers a ton of nutrients, but with a taste our team ranks at an impressive 5 out of 5. What else sets 8Greens apart? And what does it taste like?
How Much Caffeine Is in Pre-Workout? (And How Much Is Too Much, According to a Nutrition Coach)

Jun 28, 2024 | barbend.com | Sadie Albert |Nasm Cpt |Nci Cnc

You’ve seen it, or maybe even felt it. The sluggishness before a workout—then, the chugging of a pre-workout drink that seems to give an athlete superpowers. Or, at least, a jolt of seemingly superpowered energy. Credit: Adamov_d / ShutterstockWith that kind of kick, it’s no wonder that pre-workout is the second highest-selling dietary supplement in the United States (coming in second only to multivitamins). (1) But what exactly does this powerful stimulant do to your body?

Jun 8, 2024 | barbend.com | Sadie Albert

Have you ever felt a dull or stabbing pain in the front of your lower leg after running? (Or worse, in the middle of that 5K training?)

Shin splints are a common condition among runners.

May 30, 2024 | barbend.com | Sadie Albert

Rocky. Ali. Creed. These boxing classics have a lot of throughlines. Grit, loyalty, devotion, family, intense training montages…and jump ropes. Lots of jump ropes. But your name doesn’t have to be Adonis to pick up a jump rope and get started. You don’t even have to be particularly experienced in the gym.

How to Do the Reverse Flye, Plus Variations & Alternatives From a CPT

May 12, 2024 | barbend.com | Sadie Albert

So many of my clients want to do all the pushing exercises, all the time. Think, benching and overhead pressing. And while there’s certainly nothing wrong with that (I think we’re all guilty of that here and there), there’s always a danger in chasing your mirror muscles: you might leave your back and rear delts underdeveloped and imbalanced. That’s why I have pretty much all my strength training clients integrate the reverse flye into their repertoire.
