I have to tell people all the time, that are trying to change their eating habits, avoid the fat-free yogurt at the grocery store. Get full fat yogurt. The fat is where the good stuff is!

@ianxellis Nope.

I’ve never met a crazy sports parent that played at a high level

And while I’m a fan of Kindle & ebooks… Before bed, read a paper book.

@micheal_ws18 High protein, high calorie breakfast.

To all my Gym goers… What’s one thing you changed that transformed your body the most?

@brightafia Sourdough cheese toast.

gym rats: what do you eat late at night with no regrets ?

Four days in the wilderness without screens improved creative problem-solving by 50%. The modern brain is not underloaded. It is interrupted.

@strongerafter30 @CoachDanGo Because they don’t have proper training.

@CoachDanGo I see alot of burpee hate here. Why is it that the people whose lives literally depend on their fitness: Special forces, Marines, firefighters still abuse the hell out of them if they are so overrated ?

What’s the most overrated exercise on the planet?

@ItsGoneAwry @CoachDanGo I don’t have an argument against it!

@CoachDanGo Jumping rope after you’ve birthed multiple children

In adults, limiting smartphone functionality to texting and calls and blocking all social media and mobile internet for 2 weeks significantly improved attention, self-reported well-being and mental health. 90% of participants experienced a benefit.

Credit where credit is due, @stephenasmith is correct here.

Deadly Strength Sins Most lifters don’t need more information. They need fewer stupid detours. Here are the biggest mistakes keeping people weak, beat up, and stuck. MAJORING IN MINORS Chasing big lifts but treating skull crushers like the Super Bowl? Been there. Blew up my elbows years ago acting like assistance work was the main event. Assistance lifts support the foundation. They are not the foundation. The squat, bench, deadlift, carries, presses, rows: That’s the meat and potatoes. Cable kickbacks are seasoning. MOVEMENT INTENTION You are not sculpting delts during a 700-pound squat. Core lifts are about moving heavy weight from Point A to Point B: Fast. Clean. Violent. Efficient. Save the slow squeeze-and-feel bodybuilding mindset for curls, laterals, and cable crossovers. Heavy training requires aggressive intent. HIGH REPS FOR MAX STRENGTH Running marathons will not improve your 40-yard dash. Same idea with endless 20-rep sets building a huge 1RM. Technique changes under maximal strain. The bar path changes. The timing changes. Your body changes. A warm-up at 50% does not teach you how to survive 90%. If maximal strength is the goal: Lift heavy. 85%+. Low reps. Specific intent. Specificity beats sweat equity. WARM-UPS Want to get better at squatting? Warm up by squatting. Light weight. Perfect reps. Explosive intent. Groove the pattern. Wake up the nervous system. Build the fire before the heavy sets arrive. Specificity is king. EXERCISE ORDER Train your priority first. Period. You do not pre-fatigue your nervous system with fluff then expect greatness under a heavy bar. Fresh mind. Fresh body. Main lift first. FINAL THOUGHTS Getting strong is not complicated. The problem is lifters drown in noise. Fancy exercises. Circus tricks. Random workouts. Endless novelty. Meanwhile the strongest people in the world keep hammering the basics with intent, consistency, and progression. Lift with purpose. Prioritize core lifts. Do not let fancy fluff neuter your progress. Locked, loaded, and ready.

There’s no peptide for being a sissy Go to the gym

"Health begins in the gut." - Some guy who invented modern medicine that modern medicine ignores in the 21st century.

Higher vitamin D levels in middle age are associated with less accumulation of tau, one of the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. The strongest protection showed up among those with vitamin D levels at the higher end of the cohort (around 50 to 57 ng/mL), not just those avoiding deficiency. Interestingly, there was no association between vitamin D levels and amyloid burden. This doesn't mean vitamin D is a dementia-prevention drug, or that everyone should start chasing high levels. But it does reinforce that vitamin D status in midlife (and any age) is something worth paying attention to.

Cuantas más flexiones (push-ups) seguidas puedas hacer, menos riesgo de eventos cardiovasculares tienes. Los hombres que hacen más de 40 flexiones seguidas tienen un 96% menos de riesgo que los que hacen menos de 10.

@safonyameherbal This is a false statement. Deadlifting does not cause nor contribute to vertebral disc herniaition. If you are going to assert it does, as you seem to do here, explain the mechanism. Otherwise this flys in the face of kinesiology, biomechanics, & empirical evidence.

This is one of the reasons why you should be avoiding deadlifting in the gym. Vertebral disc herniation.

Athletics works like this as well. Whether it's strength training, conditioning, fundamentals of the sport, even execution of plays & sets. A new play is better executed if reviewed for 5-10 minutes in 3 practices than 30 minutes of repetition, the day before a game.

@ZacGoodman_ "Are we front squatting again?" Me: Yes Alice.

Your athletes should go months repeating the same exercises… The only change should be Volume and Intensities waved in sequence. Stop changing things that are working!

@mar5hallhoops Parents with sit there & yell that knowing they never made 10 free throws in a row, nor ever averaged double figures.

You parents out there telling your kids they need to score…it’s a big mistake and you’re hurting them.

I've been singing the benefits of higher vitamin C intake for 30 years. They've told me Pauliung's studies haven't been confirmed. They told me it "just prevents" scurvy... Get you can extra 3 grams of Vitamin C daily folks. You literally feel better within the week.
