4/4 It works for youth too. In ages 5-18, pure resistance protocols yield higher cognitive and academic performance than concurrent training. Regular resistance stimuli facilitate neurogenesis, leading to optimized executive control. See more at: xgym.com/lift-smarter-t…

3/4 More is not better. Peak longevity benefits and telomere protection follow a J-shaped curve, maxing out at 40-60 minutes total per week. Our 21-minute, twice-a-week X Gym protocol hits this sweet spot. Exceeding 130 mins/week completely erases the longevity advantage.

The latest neuroscience confirms resistance training is the ultimate brain biohack. A single session of moderate-to-high intensity lifting immediately sharpens executive function, improving processing speed and reaction time without compromising accuracy. 🧵👇

Most of what we have been told about cholesterol is wrong, and in many cases, the opposite of the truth.

The COVID mRNA disaster showed us how this "study" design goes, and I'm not holding out much hope for a better result this time. More details here: xgym.com/gpl-1-drugs-an…

Every person on these drugs is, in effect, a volunteer "test subject," so pharma can run their massive observational study to learn more about their new drug. It's their dream setup: their subjects are paying THEM to be in their study!

The rise of the improperly tested GLP-1 medications like Ozempic has revealed a surprise psychological driver of obesity: "food noise." This refers to relentless, intrusive thoughts about what and when to eat, which many patients didn't realize was avoidable. 🧵👇

To most people, a fresh loaf of bread straight out of the oven is a beautiful thing. To me, this "loaf" of grass-fed beef bottom round roast straight out of the Instant Pot is a beautiful thing.

Our 4th SundayFunday "brother Michael ( @YoyomanMichael ), wasn't with us today because he was busy winning another Spartan race.

Every Sunday morning, I hang out at X Gym with my "brothers," where we talk about Jesus, Xperiment with new Xtreme Xercises, pray, listen to Christian EDM, etc. We call it "Sunday FunDay." Today @John77787 (center) brought Brian and me shirts to match the one he already had, which we were always jealous of. #botherlyfellowship #Godisgood #truejoy

Great demonstration!

6/6 Check your waist circumference: 36 in.+ for men or 32 in.+ for women indicates high risk, regardless of weight. Protect your brain by prioritizing sleep, metabolic health, and high-intensity movement. Read the full deep dive here: xgym.com/how-visceral-f…

5/6 To target VAT: Aerobic training and HIIT are the most effective tools. While resistance training is great for lean mass, vigorous cardio does the heavy lifting for visceral fat reduction. Aim for ~3 hours of aerobic work per week to see a metabolic shift. #Fitness #XGym

Hidden visceral fat isn’t just about waist size—it’s a major risk factor for brain shrinkage. New research shows that reducing deep abdominal fat (VAT) is directly linked to higher brain volume and better cognitive scores, even a decade later. #Longevity #BrainHealth 🧵👇
