@SS_strength Physical strength = mental strength

Getting physically stronger.

@AlpacaAurelius We need better health education in schools.

I don't think people realize how bad things are - 25% over 18 on mental health meds - 40% of kids entering high school overweight - 300 million antidepressant prescriptions in 2021 - 70% of Americans on meds - 50% of adults have diabetes / prediabetes Modernity is poisoning us

@arunkumar3112 No. All of these are fine.

Removing Sugar, Grains and seed oils can improve your health more than anything else. Why not people think about it.

@SteveOnSpeed I can't even imagine what it takes to get to 500 pounds, especially as a woman.

Legit curious. On a cruise. Saw a woman who was probably 500 pounds, easy. Insanely fat. Needed a scooter to get around. Has 6 plates of food in front of her. Do these folks just,..not care that they are morbidly obese?

@TheStrongDad Yep, I do it because it's easier. If I wanted my exercises to be harder, I would do 20+ reps on a bosu ball.

There's no harder alternative to a Free Weight Barbell Movement. Machine alternatives are meant to remove the stress from the surrounding musculature and stabilizers to give you maximum isolation. That doesn't make the movement harder It makes the movement easier.

@thegarybrecka Nothing wrong with having carbs in the morning, especially if you train earlier in the day. But if you get hungry at 10 a.m., having some protein and fat for breakfast is a good idea.

Most people start their day with carbs and call it “healthy.” Oatmeal. Toast. Fruit. Then wonder why they’re starving by 10am... Protein first thing in the morning stabilizes blood sugar, improves focus, and kills cravings before they start. If your breakfast has no protein, it’s not setting you up, it’s setting you back.

@_AshleyRichmond Sleeping more and removing liquid calories are probably the easiest things you can do to get healthier.

• Sleep 7–8 hours most nights • Strength train year-round • Eliminate liquid calories Stack that for a year and you’ll outperform most people your age. The top 10% in health isn’t extreme. It’s just consistent with boring standards.

Getting big arms is simple. Biceps • Curl without elbow support • Curl with elbow support • Hardest at 70–90° Triceps • JM press • Triceps extension • Hardest near lockout Programming • 2–3 sets • 2–3× per week • To failure (or close)

@siimland Unfortunately, abstaining from bad habits is often far more effective than building good ones.

You look at the sunset... but scroll on your phone in bed 1 hour later. You go for a 30-minute run and burn 200 calories... but eat a 300-calorie cookie afterwards. You do ice baths for recovery… but sleep 5 hours a night. You take 10 longevity supplements… but never do cardio. The basics only work if you stop sabotaging them.

@Jainadave_ It costs you everything you want.

Comfort is expensive. It costs you the body you want

@RobertKennedyJc Strength training is also very effective for increasing or maintaining your mobility.

You don't "suddenly" lose mobility. It slips away quietly the moment you stop moving. Just 10 minutes of daily stretching floods your muscles with fresh blood, slashes injury risk, keeps joints supple, & literally slows the aging clock. Use it. Or lose it. Stretching? MAHA

@KeruboSk Proper sleep or lots of things to do.

Apparently there are people who wake up before their alarm… and just get up. Just one alarm. No snooze. No struggle. Explain yourselves. How do you do that?

@dr_ericberg Sleeping more. One of the easiest and best things you can do for your health.

What’s one thing that has improved your health without adding stress?

@realpeteyb123 Oats.

Getting my 195g of protein is easy, getting my 25g of fiber is hard. I have to track it.

@DeanTTraining Solid. Generally you're good if your bodyweight is trending down and strength stays the same (or close).

Here are the ideal rates of loss I typically recommend when cutting: - If you are > 20% body-fat, you should aim to lose 1-1.25% of your total bodyweight per week (less aggressive is fine too if that’s better for sustainability) - If you are 15-20% body-fat, you should aim to lose .75-1% of your total bodyweight per week (less aggressive is fine too if that’s better for sustainability) - If you are 10-15% body-fat, you should aim to lose .5-.75% of your total bodyweight per week - If you are < 10% body-fat, you should aim to lose .5% or < of your total bodyweight per week Note: These are the ideal theoretical figures but when the rubber actually meets the road…you may not be able to attain a .75, 1%, 1.25% rate of loss (if higher in body-fat) Should that be the case…DON’T freak out!!! If you’re losing .50, .55, .60, .65% of your total bodyweight per week and your approach feels sustainable…pat yourself on the back and KEEP GOING! The point of the ideal rates is to show you what you’ll PROBABLY be able to lose without risking muscle loss depending on where you’re sitting at as far as BF% goes

@rand_longevity Perfect.

morning routine checklist: - coffee - creatine - 10 mins of sunlight - 16oz of water - long walk what would you add?

@askcoachboye No side effects and very cheap. No reason not to take it.

One person using creatine isn’t proof that everyone needs it. Anecdotes aren’t meta-analyses. That said, creatine is one of the most well-researched supplements out there, with consistent findings showing benefits for strength, muscle growth, recovery, and even cognitive performance in some cases. It’s not mandatory, but for many people it can be life-changing.

@BusyButBuilt Drink plenty of water 🤔

• Eat fruit • Eat meat • Have fun • Lift heavy • Train hard • Walk more • Sleep more • Take creatine • Eat vegetables • Take omega-3s • Take magnesium • Go to bed on time • Get morning sun☀️ Anything you would add?

Mfs who eat: • vegetables • seed oils • sugar • meat • eggs

How to torture someone: • Sleep deprivation • Poor nutrition • No exercise Most people do this to themselves every day.
