You should be doing 80% or your weekly workouts in zone 2 of your max HR. The remaining 20% in zone 4/5. Easy workout is incline treadmill @ 12% 3mph. Can also bike @ 5 resistance. Aim for 45-60 min/session or 2 hr/week. Will increase VO2 max -> increase health + longevity

For everyone wondering the future of #Bitcoin. This aligns with my current trajectory of ~$45k being the bear market low. Stacking up cash till we are under $50k around Q4 2026 then I will start buying aggressively. This move sets up the next four years+ of gains. Don’t miss out! x.com/i/grok/share/5…

US crushed by Canada in 4 Nations… then dominates for Olympic gold while Canada settles for silver like a soggy maple participation trophy. Watch Canadian souls drain the second that medal hits their neck—pure national humiliation and literal shame on their faces. Silver, boys. 2nd place. The metallic “nice try, eh?” 🇺🇸🫡

I always recommend 5.11 Tactical plate carrier for quality & versatility, but Zelus vest on Amazon is great entry-level option for the price. Aim for 15–20% body weight. Listen to your body & gradually increase mileage to avoid injury or joint issues on your ruck.

I love how many people in Charlotte are out walking with weighted vests. It shows folks are catching on to the research that resistance training while walking helps burn fat and preserve lean muscle—which is awesome to see. Six years ago, when I heard the research and joined the movement, I was one of the few in my neighborhood getting weird looks. Now it’s every other person taking advantage of the great benefits.

I offended a few women over Christmas break with this same question. I was just curious why there are far fewer female grandmasters in chess. This makes complete sense now.

@gochomps isn’t yummy to me anymore. I just stocked up again and don’t think I’ll be back. The color is vastly different and the taste is much more bland than when I started buying 4+ years ago. Hate to say it, but it’s time to switch up my beef sticks.

I also went out with friends this Saturday to enjoy the ☀️, tried awesome nootropic cocktails (best taste yet at this brewery), played games, and was home on the couch watching a movie by 9 p.m., ready for another solid restorative slumber. Superior weekend? I think so 🤔✅

Two weeks completed of sober February. Dreams are wild, Sunday anxiety is nonexistent, and I'm feeling great. If you've never taken a month off alcohol (or any habit/substance you might not realize you're abusing), consider doing it yearly for a complete dopamine reset. Read the book *Dopamine Nation* to learn more about how any habit affects your dopamine reward system and how to reset your brain and body to perform and function better. Checking back in two weeks for a full synopsis.

You’re planning to buy a house in 2026 and I’m planning to buy a bitcoin. 1/21million 📈₿

Who bet a kicker to win Super Bowl MVP?

@SternLevine @30bgphoenixx Yeah 👍🏼 try pronating your feet and see what your lower body does. Internally rotates.

@CalSaunders8 @30bgphoenixx Actually, knock knees are caused by underpronation not overpronation. When your feet roll in your knees come together.

@nascarclash Bring out the snow tires?!

POV: You're at The Madhouse this weekend 👀

Getting lean means a number on a scale that most think is “very small” or “super skinny” Even fitness culture has moved so far away from this reality with PEDs and BULK BROS I’d say most guys would look and feel best between 140-165lbs 165-185lbs for the guys 6+foot

100% elimination in my home.

I used to pester my college coach regarding this. In no high level sports should you have an intense 2 hour practice day before a game. Players shouldn’t be showing up to game day sore. It’s not a question as to why so many college soccer players carry injuries into the offseason that linger into the next year. Games also should realistically only be held once a week for intensive sports.

Really good D1 Coach told me. “How do you expect your team to have fresh legs on game night if your practicing for 2 hours every day”

Primary stretches I’ve seen are the couch stretch, pancake stretch, bilateral lat/T-spine stretch, and Cossack stretch. I find that when myself and clients get into these deep stretches and feel the shake, it’s the nervous system rewiring safety back into the body as well. Wildly beneficial for me after years of club and college soccer. Combining ATG, Weck Method, and United Health Education (Dr. Lock) has been game-changing.

@CalSaunders8 Yes! A lot of great points here I’m not sure how much static stretching ATG does But it’s proven to be beneficial for me

Here are some theories and perspectives on stretching / mobility Stretching is one of the things that I have needed to do more and more of as I age and want to continue to keep a high level of fitness. Especially now that I have transitioned more into endurance sports from powerlifting. The different strain on my body has led to needing to do more static stretching. In powerlifting, I got by with doing very, very little stretching. Maybe my age (below 30), but it didn’t seem needed. Here’s one thing I’ve learned… Stretching the muscle for, say, 10 seconds does nothing. Hold the stretch for minutes at a time. Come up out, then go right back in. Why? Long-duration stretching works less by “lengthening muscle” and more by teaching your nervous system that the position is safe. Here’s another thing though… I know plenty of people who do almost no stretching and have zero problems. Oftentimes, it seems to be those who have put a lot of time into a specific stimulus (specific training). Simple Theory: It could be an adaptation—the body doesn’t need to be stretched because it doesn’t get as tight since it is accustomed to the training stimulus. This could also be a theory as to why I didn’t need to stretch as much when I was powerlifting—however, I don’t believe you need much flexibility (just a little mobility) for powerlifting/strongman. All this to say, if you are taking a hybrid training approach—training multiple stimuli with a variety of exercises—I believe that you are limiting your recovery and full potential without doing static stretching, as well as some dynamic mobility (you could think of this as just bear crawling around and moving into different tight positions). —Which brings us into the theory that a tight muscle is a weak muscle. What is weak is tight. When a muscle is strained across a multitude of ranges of motion, it becomes susceptible in planes it does not typically operate in, which naturally creates additional tightness and exposes weakness.
