@BowTiedYukon Heck ya! Happy birthday brother!

41 years old today I can’t stop and will not stop I have 3 young men at home that will always expect me to be the jacked dad

@HypertrophyHub @LawrenceElliots Same, its weird.

@LawrenceElliots Anecdotally this makes sense to me. I’ve been extremely productive after rough nights at the firehouse. When I’m home for more than 5 days with good sleep productivity drops off

Why aren’t we sleep fasting? Since periodically restricting my sleep, I have trained myself to function (better) on less I used to require 7-8 hours. I am now outperforming on 5-6. Contrast therapy - accepted. Fasting - accepted. HIIT - accepted. Deliberate sleep restriction - never discussed. Hormesis applies universally across every biological system (except the one the wellness industry monetises most aggressively) The pattern across all hormetic interventions is identical: 1. controlled acute stress 2. recovery 3. supercompensation. We know: - The dose makes the poison. - The recovery makes the adaptation. (This is not controversial in any domain except sleep) What else do we know? Sleep deprivation triggers BDNF upregulation. (Brain-derived neurotrophic factor - The same molecule everyone celebrates when discussing exercise, meditation, and learning). Drummond's imaging data shows the brain recruiting compensatory networks under sleep debt - Parietal regions dormant during comfortable, well-rested cognition suddenly activate. Periodic sleep fasting, employed strategically + paired with proper recovery, accesses adaptive mechanisms that build resilience. (Resilience that 8 hour regularity cannot achieve) We’ll see how long it takes Huberman and the like to catch on

@BowTiedYukon @JayFivekiller Chad is the real deal. He's a family friend, and is the change that California needs!! Yukon knows what's up!

@JayFivekiller I’d vote for that cop based off the flat top and mustache

The absolutely most hilarious thing might be about to happen. A while back, California democrats instituted a top-two primary system, assuming that it would always be two democrats in the general.

@barbarianfitco I cant wait to get mine!

A great ending to a rough week. 💧 We will have product today, folks. Busy weekend ahead fulfilling presale orders! 📦📦📦📦📦📦📦📦📦📦📦📦📦

@Aloha_Peak_Rx @FattyNoNatty Heck ya, I'm ready bro!!

@hern_dez @FattyNoNatty It's gonna be a process bro! Took me prob two weeks to adjust and feel comfortable with it on. I have some funny stories to share with you when we connect to lift! Will set it up when I get back from Japan.

Coaches won’t warn you about the impending sleep apnea if you succeed

@Aloha_Peak_Rx @FattyNoNatty First night with CPAP last night. Still gotta get used to it, but definitely better energy today, its pretty cool!

@FattyNoNatty Brother I'm the same way... zero clue how I can be so smart and dumb as the same person.

You saw our renderings from presale but here are the actual labels that went to production for our tubs. We're waiting for "that call" to head to the lab and be on-site during production so we can get some behind-the-scenes pics and video! Y'all are the first to see them. What do you think?

@BowTiedYukon 🤣🤣🤣 yes!!

I can only hope I’ve raised my sons to answer the question “How much a date with a 220lb girl would cost if a date with a typical girl that weighs 120lbs will cost you $55!” with: I don’t date fat bitches so I guess we will never know
