Build shoulder strength and resilience with these 7 Face pull variations

TFM WEEKLY NUT This week's highlights and best content in a nutshell Hey! Gareth here. Today I'm going to share with you 7 face pull variations you can use right away to build your shoulder strength and resilience. If there's one change you can make to your workouts today to build strong and healthy shoulders, it's to include a few sets of these in nearly every one of your workouts.  Most of my in person and online clients are using some variation of face-pulls as part of their training. Now you can do the same with these options. #1 - Hammer Grip Hammer grip - more range of motion. I tend to program this grip most of the time. For overall shoulder health and performance you can't really go wrong here. #2 - Palms-Down Grip Palms-down grip - biases resisting shoulder internal rotation. I only program this for clients with already good shoulder range of motion, as you can't get as much range with this one. #3 - 1-Arm 1-arm - additional anti-rotation/core component. Focus on one-arm at a time. Could even out asymmetries over time. #4 - Dual Ropes Dual-ropes - more free range of motion. Better for naturally broader shoulders and clavicle width. Better for those that may have some restrictions. #5 - Seated Seated - good position to learn/teach in for controlling rib flare, and focusing on the pelvis upwards. #6 - Half-Kneeling Half-kneeling - Core engagement and control. Lumbo-pelvic hip/knee/foot Stability. As a warm up to open out your hips. Improves bench press positioning. #7 - Chest-Supported Chest supported - more support means more output from the target area. Possibly more posterior delt engagement. Bare in mind we haven't even spoken about cable height and how this affects things either. Maybe another time if you're interested. Until next week...

Brave Browser voted the best privacy-focused product of 2020

Out of all the privacy-focused products and apps available on the market, Brave has been voted the best. Other winners of Product Hunt's Golden Kitty awards showed that there was a huge interest in privacy-enhancing products and apps such as chats, maps, and other collaboration tools.

An extremely productive year for Brave

Last year has been a pivotal one for the crypto industry, but few companies managed to see the kind of success Brave did. Almost every day of the year has been packed witch action, as the company managed to officially launch its browser, get its Basic Attention Token out, and onboard hundreds of thousands of verified publishers on its rewards platform.

Luckily, the effort Brave has been putting into its product hasn't gone unnoticed.

The company's revolutionary browser has been voted the best privacy-focused product of 2019, for which it received a Golden Kitty award. The awards, hosted by Product Hunt, were given to the most popular products across 23 different product categories.

Ryan Hoover, the founder of Product Hunt said:

"Our annual Golden Kitty awards celebrate all the great products that makers have launched throughout the year"

Brave's win is important for the company—with this year seeing the most user votes ever, it's a clear indicator of the browser's rapidly rising popularity.

Privacy and blockchain are the strongest forces in tech right now

If reaching 10 million monthly active users in December was Brave's crown achievement, then the Product Hunt award was the cherry on top.

The recognition Brave got from Product Hunt users shows that a market for privacy-focused apps is thriving. All of the apps and products that got a Golden Kitty award from Product Hunt users focused heavily on data protection. Everything from automatic investment apps and remote collaboration tools to smart home products emphasized their privacy.

AI and machine learning rose as another note-worthy trend, but blockchain seemed to be the most dominating force in app development. Blockchain-based messaging apps and maps were hugely popular with Product Hunt users, who seem to value innovation and security.

For those users, Brave is a perfect platform. The company's research and development team has recently debuted its privacy-preserving distributed VPN, which could potentially bring even more security to the user than its already existing Tor extension.

Brave's effort to revolutionize the advertising industry has also been recognized by some of the biggest names in publishing—major publications such as The Washington Post, The Guardian, NDTV, NPR, and Qz have all joined the platform. Some of the highest-ranking websites in the world, including Wikipedia, WikiHow, Vimeo, Internet Archive, and DuckDuckGo, are also among Brave's 390,000 verified publishers.
