Seven Crushing Defeats Helped Build Felix Rosenqvist for One Historic Indy 500 Victory

Image
Felix Rosenqvist finally got to enjoy the view from Indy’s most exclusive spot: Victory Lane. By winning this year’s Indianapolis 500 in the most dramatic fashion—building what looked like an insurmountable late lead, losing it after a red flag, then getting a second chance from another caution before aggressively snatching it back to win by the slimmest margin ever—the Swedish speedster accomplished what hundreds of drivers have failed to do over the race’s 110 runnings. At the same time, one bold move instantly wiped away seven previous years of his own Indy race-day heartbreak. Obviously, it takes speed to win the world’s most prestigious race—and Rosenqvist’s winning average of 174.199 mph ranks as the sixth-fastest Indy 500 in history. But to cross the finish line first in 2026, the 34-year-old first had to slow down and absorb the lessons learned from past missed opportunities. That experience—both good and catastrophic—proved to be an invaluable asset when improbable moments...

The Bayesian Curl May Be One of the Best Biceps Exercises for Building Bigger Arms

Traditional dumbbell bicep curls are a tried and tested method for building the biceps, but despite the free weight’s ability to activate the target muscle, there are plenty of reasons to consider the cables when changing up, or boosting your sleeve busting routine. In fact, Moritz Willen, a Swiss born bodybuilder with a growing fanbase on Instagram has recently shared why Bayesian curls are now a staple of his arm day. “Unlock your bicep potential with this freaking cooker!” enthused Willen in a recent Instagram post. The big man, who is nearing 100,000 IG followers , including UFC legend Mark Coleman, was born in Bern, Switzerland and now lives in Santa Barbara, where he designs buildings by day and constructs his body at every available chance. What is the Bayesian Bicep Curl? The mechanism of a Bayesian curl is similar to a traditional curl, because the idea is to pull the weight upwards with a supinated (underhanded) grip, moving the load towards your chest and activating the ...

Dorian Yates’ Legendary 1993 Back Day Workout Shows Why He Dominated Mr. Olympia

Six-time Mr Olympia champion Dorian Yates became known for a “Blood & Guts” approach that involved giving more effort to fewer sets, but a recent revisit to his training logbook has shown that warm up methods such as “pre-exhaust supersets” were also practiced from time to time, like in 1993 when the British bodybuilder won is second Mr Olympia title. What Modern Lifters Can Learn From Dorian Yates’ Training Logbook Thanks to this master of muscle’s meticulous bookkeeping, Dorian Yates can pinpoint the exact date of this workout to July 11, 1993, and The Temple Gym, known affectionately as “The Dungeon” served as the setting for this rare, extensive set session. “You’ll see some exercises here that weren’t featured in the Blood & Guts video , like bench rows and seated cable rows for example,” explained the man they called ‘The Shadow” in a recent Instagram post for his 2 million followers. “ Blood & Guts was a snapshot in time of the exercises I did, however the intens...

Stop Butchering the Bench Press With These Technique Tweaks

Image
The bench press is more than an exercise. It’s a rite of passage. Walk into any gym in the world — from a rusty hardcore dungeon in Brooklyn to a polished fitness center in Dubai — and sooner or later somebody will ask the universal question: “How much ya bench?” The movement transcends language. Iron speaks its own dialect , and from the beginning of modern weight training, the bench press has been king. Everybody benches. From physical rehabilitation patients rebuilding strength after injury, to elite athletes developing explosive upper body power , to bodybuilders chasing a thicker chest and wider torso, the bench press remains the standard by which upper body strength is measured. Even Arnold Schwarzenegger, who arguably built one of the greatest chests in bodybuilding history, relied primarily on just two exercises: bench presses — at varying angles — and flys. That was it. No circus tricks. No bioscience Just heavy pressing and disciplined execution. But while the bench press ...

Longevity Is the New Luxury: Inside the $100K Biohacking Lifestyle

Image
For generations, luxury has been defined by the things money could buy: sprawling homes, exotic travel, rare watches, and private jets. But among a growing circle of entrepreneurs, athletes, and high-net-worth individuals, a new status symbol is emerging, one that cannot be worn or driven. Time. Not just time in the abstract, but the ability to extend it. To preserve cognitive sharpness, physical performance, and metabolic health well into later decades of life. To understand how this shift is playing out at the highest levels, I sat down with Mini Vohra, a celebrity events strategist, Director of Cornucopia Events, British entrepreneur, and former barrister known for orchestrating high-profile experiences across the fashion, music, and entertainment industries. Through his work with elite performers, global celebrities, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, Vohra operates at the intersection of luxury, performance, and culture, where trends don’t just emerge, they are defined. As...

Enhanced Games Push a New Narrative For Sports

Image
The first edition of the Enhanced Games arrived with exactly the kind of controversy the organization expected. Critics questioned the ethics. Olympic traditionalists pushed back publicly. Social media erupted over world records, performance-enhancing protocols, and the future of elite sports. But inside the organization’s media sessions and athlete discussions, one message was repeated over and over again: This was not meant to encourage reckless drug use—especially among children. Executives, physicians, and participating athletes consistently framed the Enhanced Games as a medically supervised performance and longevity initiative centered on recovery, health monitoring, and extending athletic careers rather than glorifying underground enhancement culture. The organization repeatedly emphasized that peptides and enhancement therapies were not intended for teenagers experimenting in gyms or athletes self-administering mystery compounds purchased online. Instead, officials argued ...

7-Day Water Fast Study Reveals What Really Happens to Your Body

Fasting’s popularity has grown in recent years with proposed benefits including fat loss, supercharged immunity, and cognitive improvement, but a new study from the Queen Mary University in London has tracked thousands of proteins in the blood to figure out exactly what happens, and when, during a 7-day water fast. This latest work on the effects of fasting, published in Nature Metabolism , took notice of the fact that human evolution has been underscored by periods of prolonged food restriction. But whether this be due to scarcity, religious practice, or the treatment of disease, there is still much to learn about what missing meals actually means for our overall health. To add weight to the body of information on this subject, they looked at the internal transformations that take place as a result of putting down our plates. How Was the Study Carried Out? Researchers from the Precision Healthcare University Research Institute (PHURI) and the Norwegian School of Sports Sciences,...
