If you want convenient protein without the chalky taste, Core Power is elite. It’s smooth, lactose-free, and actually tastes like dessert — no blender required. Perfect post-workout or on-the-go.

🧠 Quick Gym Hack: Fix Your Form > Add More Weight
More weight ≠ more growth if your form sucks.
Start filming 1–2 sets per week and review like game film. You'll notice:
Half-reps you didn't realize
Weak depth on squats
Energy leaks on pulls
Fix your form, and your strength will actually carry over.
💡 Gains Tip of the Week: Time Under Tension
Muscle doesn't care how much you lift. It cares how much you make it work.
Slow down your eccentric (lowering) reps:
🕒 3 seconds down
💥 Explode up
🔁 Repeat for 6–12 reps
You’ll get a nastier pump and stimulate more growth — without changing the weight.
📉 Myth Busted: “Train to failure every set.”
🚫 Nope.
Training to failure every time leads to burnout and worse recovery.
Instead:
Leave 1–2 reps in the tank for most sets
Save all-out efforts for your last working set or compound lifts
Prioritize execution over ego
You grow by recovering — not dying in the gym.
🧠 Mindset Shift: Discipline > Motivation
Motivation is temporary. Discipline compounds.
Show up tired.
Show up busy.
Show up anyway.
The more you do, the less it becomes a choice — and the more it becomes just who you are.

👊 Final Word
Most lifters spin their wheels for months (or years) doing things wrong. You're not one of them.
Gains Digest is here to keep your training sharp, your food smart, and your mind locked in.
Small changes today = visible results in 30–60 days.

Take the bite out of rising vet costs with pet insurance
Veterinarians across the country have reported pressure from corporate managers to prioritize profit. This incentivized higher patient turnover, increased testing, and upselling services. Pet insurance could help you offset some of these rising costs, with some providing up to 90% reimbursement.
