@tiga_style I sense that you're correct but I can't explain why. Can you explain your reasoning? Thank for you the great content you post.

The perfect run distance is 6 miles (9.7km) or 45 minutes… whichever comes first. I don’t make the rules. Actually, I do. Pre-meet on deck tomorrow ahead of 800m & distance medley races this weekend.

@HunchBackMighty @rachaelbereba Interesting suggestions. Why muscle snatch (and not regular power snatch)? And why Zerchers (instead of another type of squat)? Thank you.

@rachaelbereba Muscle snatch, muscle up, zercher squat.

If you could do three exercises 🏋🏽for the rest of your life—what are you choosing?

@DexieBenedict @rachaelbereba Interesting. Do you mean... a) Sissy Squats? b) Skipping? - If so, how far/many/long? c) Sumo Squats? Thank you.

@RealMikeBoyle Great tip, thank you! How do you recommend estimating max heart rate? I miss your frequent postings on your old account before it was hacked. Great to see you back.

Want a better CV effect, get a heart rate monitor and rest based on HR not time. Much more accurate idea of what your recovery is. Time is arbitrary. The right length rest for you might be 2x (or 1/2) what someone else needs. Rest to 60% of your estimated max, then repeat.

@tomcoppens_ Why specifically rings, instead of bar? And why lunges instead of squats? Thank you.

@Meta_Trav Fantastic thread! How do endurance sports fit into this? And what about soccer being the most popular sport, even though it involves no throwing? Thanks again for your thoughts.

The Modern Male — Zero Contests The modern man does not contest. He has minimal physical dimorphism. Most men can't hold a room, tell a story, or command attention with their voice. For most men, what's left is a narrow application of engineering adaptations: highly specialized, sedentary work, with no influence, no capacity for violence. No intimidation. This is the reason why hypergamy has run amok. Men don't do any of the things to satisfy it. But most men are fine with it. Too scared to start a business. Too prideful to get in shape. Too worried about making anyone feel a negative emotion. They live in an extremely narrow version of what the male life is supposed to be, yet feel entitled to the spoils of their ancestors. Contest built everything masculine. Without it, you dissolve. Most men opted out entirely, then wonder why women don't choose them. They want the outcome without the process. Selection without dimorphism. Territory without defense. Contest comes first. Always.

3 contests built the male body over 2 million years. Throwing, engineering, and vocalization. Every male archetype in history traces back to one of them or their overlap. The soldier, the musician, the filmmaker, the pastor, the athlete. All variations on the same three contests between men. 🧵

@RealAdamHunt Great point. Please post more about this intersection.

Conscientiousness and agreeableness as "slow life history" strategy markers: underappreciated how much personality psychology and life history theory (r/K selection) are saying the same thing in different languages.

@cigarettesummer What do you call this cut? I mean, what words do you tell the barber?

If you want short hair; do this instead of getting a skin fade

@Hybridathlete This is fascinating. Would an airbike (Rogue Echo) likely be same as regular biking?

That’s a lot more work to get to the same HR/RPE. So enjoy it while it lasts, because eventually, “easy” isn’t really all that easy anymore.

If you’re looking to add biking to improve your aerobic capacity, you need to understand this: Your biking max HR is likely 10-15 bpm lower than running, which means your training zones are completely different. Here are mine after almost two years of training both:

@sxphiefrxst @tomieinlove how so? what do you mean?

@tomieinlove 50-60% memorization imo!

I think 90% being charismatic is just having energy.

@saulThepunisher @tomieinlove Interesting. Please say more about this, e.g., how did you discover this and who or where can we find examples?

@tomieinlove In general, charisma is about starting 'in media res'. If you can do that, people will love you.

@notagopnik What are we to make of the lack of phone cord in the lover photo? It's the only one without that cord.

I think about this image like constantly

@AaronKandaGym @AJA_Cortes How do you know if you have high enough stability and low enough CNS fatigue to go all the way to failure? Thank you.

@AJA_Cortes Do not stop 1-2 reps before failure, especially on exercises with maximal stability, and minimal CNS fatigue Otherwise carry on wasting your time in the gym Unfortunate.

Bodybuilding principles for longevity: Stimulate, don't annihilate Chase tension, not load Stop 1-2 reps before failure Train bodyweight alongside weights Prioritize shoulder and spine health Sequence exercises with purpose Earn the right to go heavy Sleep 8 hours Eat meat, eat whole foods, skip the processed garbage Motion is lotion, move every day Respect that recovery changes with age Train smart so you can train hard over the course of your life.

@bluewmist Please say more about why the masters degree in data science is a bad idea. I sense you're right but can't figure out why. Thank you.

signs that you’re down really bad: - you start a gratitude journal. - you sign up for a marathon. - you join a singles dating run club. - you decide to get a master’s degree in data science. - you decide to go to law school (really bad). - you sign up for an mba program. - you decide to get bangs. - you decide to get another master’s degree. - you decide to do an executive mba on nights & weekends. - you randomly decide to go to medical school. - you decide to build a custom gaming pc. - you decide to get (another) tattoo or piercing. - you spend time browsing endlessly on dating apps. - you fill your loneliness gap by going on endless online dates. - you pick up a hobby you have zero interest in. - you decide to start an anon twitter account.

@Bengal_DPT Great point. How long do you think the rest period should be in between? Thank you.

Fitness is NOT running a 5:50 mile Fitness is how long before you can run a 5:50 mile AGAIN

@CoachFHM How heavy do you recommend, as a % of bodweight?

Weighted pull ups. Just been an absolute staple in my programming for the last decade. Pull ups, rows and a deadlift variation. Imagine if you got stronger on the above over the next 5-10 years? The holy trinity for back development.

@Alan_Couzens How does one tell if their approach is too much/just right/not enough?

You don’t need more information. You need to integrate what you already know into a simple, actionable system.

@jtperformance__ Great list. What do you think of Front Squat instead of Back Squat? Thank you.

My Top 10 Extremely High ROI Exercises 10. Weighted Chin Ups 9. Bench Press 8. Push Press/Jerk 7. Clean High Pulls 6. RDL 5. Back Squat 4. Hops 3. Bounds 2. Loaded or Hill Sprints 1. Top End Sprints
