Bodybuilding.com Signature 100% Whey Protein, Birthday Cake Flavor

White cake with frosting is one of my favorite things on earth, so I'm a total sucker for anything birthday cake flavored. Judging by the overwhelming response when Bodybuilding.com released its first birthday cake protein in 2018, plenty of you feel the same way. The latest version of this fun, yummy protein powder was made in honor of Bodybuilding.com's 20th birthday in 2019. It totally satisfies my cake cravings, and it supports my goals instead of punching them in the face like real cake does.



Each scoop delivers 10 grams of whey isolate and 7.5 grams each of whey hydrolysate and whey concentrate, providing a total of 25 grams of high-quality protein with a creamy flavor. I can't wait to make protein fudge with this. And yes, it even has sprinkles.

Available while supplies last.

The Swole Strap

The Swole Strap

The Swole Strap is one of those rare online fitness gadgets that doesn't try to "disrupt" the way you train now, but simply make it a little more effective. It's an adjustable nylon strap with a pin and a loop—nothing fancy, but when attached to a common gym cable stack, it allows you to select two different weights for different portions of the same movement.

Similar to the way that bands or chains can alter big moves like deadlifts and squats, the Swole Strap allows you to invert the "strength curve" of cable movements, adding extra weight where you're strongest and limiting it where you're weakest. On movements like lat pull-downs, curls, and fly variations, I could feel the difference instantly, in terms of far greater muscle activation at the peak contraction.

Best of all, it takes up next-to-no space in the gym bag and is sold at an easy-to-justify price. This could be a perfect "secret weapon" to get the most out of training in a commercial gym or hotel.

With the sudden increase in activity that comes each spring can come a sudden increase in aches and pains. More and more athletes head off the inevitable joint and muscle issues with some strategic kinesiology taping, using pre-cut strips of RockTape.

This flexible athletic tape is designed to support your muscles and joints without limiting movement, while simultaneously improving fluid dynamics under the skin. When applied correctly, kinesiology tape can help improve circulation and lymph fluid drainage to help reduce pain and promote recovery. It can be tricky to apply the first time around, so check out this article to familiarize yourself with the process, or hit up your trainer or CrossFit buddy to show you the ropes—er, tape.

And for experienced tapers with more specific needs, RockTape also comes in non-pre-cut rolls, sweat-proof, and extra-tough, water-resistant, and hypoallergenic varieties.
