So, how does the REP Fitness Hades Deadlift Bar compare to other deadlift bars? Well, without getting too ahead of ourselves, in our testing of this deadlift bar, we may have the best value for a deadlift bar currently on the market in our hands.

Are BCAAs Worth It?

Who doesn’t love ice-cold water mixed with flavorful BCAAs after a grueling workout? But do they actually help your post-workout recovery?

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) have been stirring quite a debate in the fitness community. While some bodybuilders vouch for their effectiveness, others remain skeptical about the hype surrounding them. With such a divide, it’s challenging not to question the efficacy of even the best BCAA supplements on the market.

We asked an RD: Are BCAAs worth your hard-earned dollars?
