@FatemasWorld Calorie deficit and strength training is most important for a flat, defined stomach.

Chia seeds will make your stomach flat This viral claim is only half true... Here’s what actually happens inside your body 👇 When you eat chia seeds: • They soak up water → make you feel full • They improve digestion → less bloating • They slow down hunger → you eat less So your stomach may look flatter. But remember: They don’t burn belly fat. If you’re not eating in a calorie deficit, your body won’t lose fat. Chia seeds can help you stay on track… but they’re not magic.

@MaxxChewning Ball is life bro

So I’m building a pretty sizable gym/wellness center at my new home…would adding an indoor half court basketball/sports court be a solid idea or waste of money?

You need to be watching the sunrise and sunset to align your circadian rhythm. Circadian rhythm health affects every cell in your body.

Focusing on getting stronger, hitting protein and eating whole foods would get this guy 75% of the way there.

@AbrisGains 100% !

I'm all in for organic food, daily Sun exposure and grounding In urban, suburban and rural settings as well I always found a way to make these work But claiming that these will fix everything while the vast majority are living in corwded cities, exposed to countless toxins, contamination and carcinogens is absolutely nuts.

Posts like this are written by 22-year-old idealists who assume that you all live in a rural area of a tropical paradise and none of you have any pre-existing conditions coming from general modern lifestyle and something I call "Collateral Damage of Civilization" Shortly, it's unrealsitic Wish he was right though But there's only a very specific, thin subset of people who couldn't/wouldn't signifcantly benefit from any further supplementation If you're reading this on your phone/computer in a Western country, living in the city, optimizing your lifestyle for time efficiency This most likely doesn't apply to you. Big Pharma & the supplement industry are both involved in quite a few dirty practices, yes Does that mean you should throw the baby out with the bathwater and completely stop taking any sort of supplements or pharmaceuticals? No Thank you for your attention to this matter

@ChrisMasterjohn Really what we’re doing is taking a very very small group of people and making a conclusion. The average Joe doesn’t need another reason to skip the gym and sit on the couch. We need to be getting more people to lift weights and walk in the sun.

Elite male gymnasts look absolutely jacked, especially in the upper body, and live eight years longer than the general population average. If what Kruse is saying has merit, this can be reconciled by gymnasts requiring much more neurological control than powerlifters and considerably more than football players and thereby storing mitochondria in their nervous system instead of all in their muscles. This can preserve and coexist with my own hypothesis that a substantial portion of the longevity benefit is from optimizing pressure around tissues and thereby optimizing immune function. However, avoiding looking jacked is the wrong focus. The first law of thermodynamics holds that the energy in the universe or a closed system is constant. The human body is an open system and can incorporate more energy. Whether that is used well to drive more mitochondrial energy production where it needs to be utilized or stored as body fat depends on many other factors. Kleiber's law that each species has a nearly identical average number of heartbeats per lifespan is a result of multiple power laws converging, where as mass goes up metabolic rate goes up but heart rate goes down so the number of beats needed to fuel energy delivery to the right tissues evens out. However, Kleiber's law refers to the average across the whole species. This does not imply that you cannot personally achieve more heart beats per lifespan than someone else. You can do that, and you can look jacked doing it.

@ProjectGokuu So it has nothing to do with taking drugs, getting hit in the head or being a different animal…? Feel like there’s a few more dots to connect here. Love Dr Jack but everyone should be strength training and trying to build muscle.

Dr. Jack Kruse says bodybuilders die decades earlier than the average person. His friend Charles Poliquin is proof. • World-class physique • Looked like a Greek statue • One of the most famous strength coaches alive Kruse told him repeatedly he was going to die before 60. He died of a heart attack at 58. Kruse says the pattern is everywhere: • NFL players die early. • Professional wrestlers die early • Gorillas die 20-30 years earlier than hhumans They all look jacked. They all die young. Kruse says the reason is physics. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. When you pack mitochondria into muscle, you are stealing that energy from your brain and heart—the two organs that actually determine how long you live. He points to Kleiber's law. Every mammal on Earth gets the same number of heartbeats in a lifetime. Gorillas have far more muscle than humans. They also die 20-30 years sooner. Nature chose brain over muscle for longevity. "Go find me anybody who's 85 years old that looks like that. You're going to find like not a lot of people." The longest-lived humans on Earth are small people with belly fat. Not bodybuilders. "Where you bury your mitochondrial density is the key." — Dr. Jack Kruse (@DrJackKruse) on the Danny Jones (@JonesDanny) podcast PS: If interested in content like this, follow me as I continue sharing unconventional health insights you won't find anywhere else on X.

@Emmachuuks Close grip bench, dips, overhead extension, and the classic pushdown

Please asides skull crushers, what effective strength exercise can I use to target my triceps.

@MisterOrimoloye @MB_Trening @Emmachuuks Agreed, could be used for a “pump” finishing exercise. My personal favorite is overhead extension on cables

@MB_Trening @Emmachuuks The inefficient resistance curve makes it score low on my chart.

@BookOfDanie1790 @SeedOilDsrspctr Insane marketing

They're "good oils" now guys @SeedOilDsrspctr

Chillmaxing.

Nothing better than running barefoot on the beach in the sun.

Numerous studies show that eating processed foods aren’t bad because of the nutritional value, necessarily. It’s because processed foods cause you to overeat by ~500 calories. Which is the difference in gaining weight and losing weight. You can meticulously track all your processed foods or just eat whole foods and not worry about it.

@RichardHanania @cremieuxrecueil A 12oz jar of peanut butter contains 540 peanuts. You could easily eat the whole jar in 1-2 sittings. Eating 250 nuts is much more difficult. This is the issue, not that the nutritional value has significantly changed (assuming the butter isn’t loaded with sugar and other junk).

The whole concept of "processed food" seems to be fake. I always assumed excitement over this issue was based on the nature fallacy, pushed by the same types who believe vaccines are bad and big corporations are hiding the cure for cancer.

@isabellasg3 Real ones know this

Your diet causes skin cancer not the sun.

@NoahRyanCo Train everything. Some of the best gains I’ve had are when I started implementing windmills and Turkish getups

Muscle gains make you look strong, tendon gains make you FEEL strong. Your force output is limited by your tendons. When you hear of people getting "superhuman strength" from adrenaline surges (lifting a car off a baby etc.), its because you're overriding this neurological stop limit. Increase tendon strength and you increase total safe output capacity. The dense, grounded, and solid feeling you're after is dictated by connective tissue. Muscle adaptation takes weeks, tendon adaptation takes month. Collagen turnover is slow. Train isometrics, add plyometrics, prioritize nutrition for connective tissue. Real game changer in terms of strength profile.

@DocAbirHealth There’s no better feeling than hitting some heavy deadlifts. Pure testosterone.

Being strong is pure ego. But lifting weights to grow muscle so your body looks a certain way is totally void of any ego whatsoever? Nobody is doing conventional deadlifts for growth everywhere. It is a great movement for mass on the posterior chain. But you do accrue a lot of fatigue. RDLs are great and I love them and think everyone should do them. But here’s an entirely wild concept. Maybe you can do both RDLs and conventional deadlifts? Or maybe you do the things that you enjoy? Or maybe it all depends on your goals? Ground breaking ideas I know.
